Allegro MicroSystems Announces Results for the Third Fiscal Quarter Ended December 25, 2020

MANCHESTER, N.H., Feb. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. (“Allegro” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:ALGM), a global leader in power and sensing semiconductor solutions for motion control and energy efficient systems, today announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended December 25, 2020. Total net sales of $164.4 million for the three-month period exceeded expectations, increasing 20% from the prior quarter and, for our core end markets only, up 21% from the same period in fiscal 2020. GAAP loss per share was $0.04. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, which excludes one-time and certain non-cash items, was $0.13, also exceeding expectations.

“We benefited in the third fiscal quarter from the strong recovery in automotive, continued strength in industrial and solid operational execution. With this meaningful step up in revenue, we are well ahead of forecasts while delivering margin improvement,” said Ravi Vig, President and CEO of Allegro MicroSystems. “Good visibility and unprecedented bookings and backlog give us confidence in delivering another record quarter in fiscal Q4. With progress on our manufacturing efficiency initiatives and strong momentum in our design funnel, we believe we are well positioned to deliver on our long-term growth and profitability objectives.”

Business Summary

Automotive total net sales were up 27% sequentially during the third fiscal quarter driven by global auto production recovery and restocking across the automotive supply chain. ADAS and xEV, strategic investment areas for the Company, represented approximately one third of the automotive business and continue to exceed the long-term growth rates of foundational automotive business in internal combustion engine (ICE) and Safety, Comfort and Convenience. ICE applications represented a significant portion of the automotive upside in fiscal third quarter, growing double digits compared to both the prior period and the same period in fiscal 2020.

Industrial total net sales in the third quarter were up 11% year-over-year compared to the prior year fiscal period and were up 9% from the prior quarter. Within industrial, broad-based revenue, which includes a variety of end applications and customers, increased by nearly 50% from the prior period. The Company’s “Other” business also increased compared to the prior period by 5%.

Business Outlook

For the fourth fiscal quarter ending March 26, 2021, the Company expects total net sales to increase and be in the range of $165 million to $169 million. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be in the range of 50% to 51%, and non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share for the same period is expected to be in the range of $0.13 to $0.15.

Allegro has not provided a reconciliation of its fourth fiscal quarter outlook for non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share because estimates of all of the reconciling items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts. It is difficult to reasonably provide a forward-looking estimate between such forward-looking non-GAAP measures and the comparable forward-looking GAAP measures. Certain factors that are materially significant to Allegro’s ability to estimate these items are out of its control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted.

Earnings Webcast

A webcast will be held on Tuesday, February 2, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time. Ravi Vig, Chief Executive Officer and Paul Walsh, Chief Financial Officer, will discuss Allegro’s financial results.

The webcast will be available on the Investor Relations section of the company’s website at investors.allegromicro.com. A recording of the webcast will be posted in the same location shortly after the call concludes and will be available for at least 30 days.
