Synaptics Reports Record Fiscal 2005 Results

Synaptics Reports Record Fiscal 2005 Results

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 28, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Synaptics (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leader in interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

Net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 was $56.8 million, an increase of approximately 62% over the $35.1 million of net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 was $12.2 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, an increase of approximately 227% compared with net income of $3.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. Fourth quarter 2005 net income includes the receipt of a one-time payment related to patent licensing.

Net revenue for fiscal year 2005 was $208.1 million, an increase of 56% compared with net revenue of $133.3 million for fiscal year 2004. Net income for fiscal 2005 was $38.0 million, or $1.30 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $13.0 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2004.

"Our fourth quarter performance caps off a phenomenal year for Synaptics," stated Francis Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synaptics. "During fiscal 2005, we made solid progress in expanding our revenue base and penetrating additional key markets. This includes our recent entry into the cell phone market as we commenced shipment of our first interface solution during the fourth quarter. This milestone supports our long-term growth strategy of market diversification, and we will continue to selectively invest to take advantage of rapidly evolving market opportunities for our solutions. The fast-paced markets we serve pose various challenges, but we enter the new fiscal year with solid operating fundamentals and a strong balance sheet."

Russ Knittel, Synaptics' Chief Financial Officer, added, "Based on our current visibility, we anticipate that revenue in the first fiscal quarter will be down 9% to 10% compared to the June quarter. This anticipates seasonal growth in the notebook market with demand weighted towards low-end consumer models and lower visibility in the hard disk drive MP3 player market."
