Cypress Reports Third Quarter 2016 Results

- Third quarter GAAP revenue was $523.8 million and non-GAAP revenue was $530.1 million

(PRNewswire) — Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: CY) today announced its third quarter 2016 results.

"Cypress continued its strong execution, with third quarter non-GAAP revenue and EPS at the high end of our guidance range," said Hassane El-Khoury, President and Chief Executive Officer at Cypress. "Our gross margin improvement plan remains on track as we continue to focus on efficiency and execution.

"We are moving quickly to streamline the Company to sharpen our focus on high-growth segments in the automotive, industrial and IoT markets," El-Khoury said. "As we projected last quarter, more than half of our Q3 revenue came from markets growing faster than the overall semiconductor industry. Automotive revenue accounted for 32% of our overall revenue in the quarter and increased 25% year-on-year. We have also integrated the wireless IoT business acquired from Broadcom and are seeing strong customer demand for our solutions in that space."

Revenue and earnings for the quarter are given below, compared with those of the prior quarter:

BUSINESS REVIEW

+ GAAP and non-GAAP consolidated margins for the third quarter of 2016 were 37.9% and 40.5%, respectively. Margins were up from the second quarter of 2016 due to higher revenue, product mix and the Company's margin-enhancing initiatives. Excluding the Emerging Technologies Division (ETD), the core semiconductor non-GAAP margin was 40.6%, up from 38.1% in the second quarter. Fab utilization increased to 56% in the third quarter and is expected to increase through the fourth quarter of 2016 as production levels ramp to meet customer demand.  

+ Inventory at the end of the third quarter was $247.7 million, up 12% from the second quarter of 2016, due to inventory from the Broadcom Wireless IoT acquisition and an increase in MCU inventory to support end-customer demand. The Company's lean inventory initiative has resulted in a net inventory reduction of $160 million, or 41%, since the closing of the Spansion merger.

+ Third quarter results include the impact of the Wireless IoT business from the close of the acquisition on July 5, 2016. The business is operationally integrated and contributed $62.6 million in revenue, above the high end of guidance.

+ Cypress announced that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable to holders of record of the Company's common stock as of the close of business on September 29, 2016. This dividend was paid on October 20, 2016.

  1. The Programmable Systems Division (PSD), Data Communications Division (DCD) and Memory Products Division (MPD), in aggregate, comprise the Company's core semiconductor business. For the period ended October 2, 2016, DCD includes results from the IoT business acquired from Broadcom on July 5, 2016.
  2. The Emerging Technologies Division (ETD) includes businesses outside the Company's core semiconductor business named in Footnote 1. ETD includes subsidiaries AgigA Tech Inc., Deca Technologies Inc. (Deca), and the Foundry Business Unit.  Effective July 29, 2016, the Company has discontinued consolidation of Deca as a consequence of an investment made by certain third party investors in Deca.
  3. GAAP revenue for the second and third quarters of 2016 excludes $6.25 million of non-GAAP licensing revenue in MPD, China and ROW region and direct channel.
  4. Prior quarter geographic numbers have been revised to conform to current period presentation.
  5. See "Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures," below.

FOURTH QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

For the fourth quarter of 2016, Cypress estimates financial results as follows:






GAAP

Non-GAAP

Revenue

$510 million to $540 million

Margin %

38% + / - 50 bps

40% + / - 50 bps

Diluted EPS

$(0.25) to $(0.20)

$0.12 to $0.16

A reconciliation of GAAP forward-looking estimates to non-GAAP forward-looking estimates may be found in the tables at the end of this earnings report.

The timing and amount of certain material items, including restructuring charges, asset impairments, changes in value of deferred compensation assets and liabilities, impact of stock-based compensation from modification of equity awards, and the tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments, which are needed to estimate GAAP financial measures are either inherently unpredictable or outside the control of the Company, and may have a significant impact on the Company's financial results. Accordingly, Cypress cannot provide a full quantitative reconciliation for such non-GAAP financial measures included as part of the fourth quarter 2016 financial outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort and additional adjustments may be reflected in our non-GAAP results for the fourth quarter of 2016. Cypress has qualitatively described below, under the section "Non-GAAP Financial Measures," the anticipated differences between the non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCAST INFORMATION

Cypress will host its quarterly conference call on October 27, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time to discuss its third quarter 2016 results and provide an outlook for the fourth quarter of 2016.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement its condensed consolidated unaudited financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Cypress uses non-GAAP financial measures listed below, which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to exclude certain items, as described in detail below.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional and useful way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations which, when viewed in conjunction with Cypress's GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the various factors and trends affecting the Company's business and operations.

The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures because management uses these measures to analyze and assess the Company's financial results and to manage the business.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures including those discussed below. Moreover, the Company's non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently than the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures supplement and should be viewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures.

As presented in the "Non-GAAP Results" tables in this press release, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items:

Acquisition-related charges: Acquisition-related charges are not factored into management's evaluation of potential acquisitions or Cypress's performance after the completion of acquisitions, because they are not related to the Company's core operating performance. However, a limitation of non-GAAP measures that exclude acquisition-related charges is that these charges may represent payments that reduce the cash available to the Company for other purposes.  Acquisition-related expenses primarily include:

Share-based compensation expense: Share-based compensation expense relates primarily to employee stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and the employee stock purchase plan. Share-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense that is affected by changes in market factors including the price of Cypress's common shares, which are not within the control of management. In addition, the valuation of share-based compensation is subjective, and the expense recognized by Cypress may be significantly different than the expense recognized by other companies for similar equity awards, which makes it difficult to assess Cypress's results compared to its competitors. Accordingly, management excludes this item from its internal operating forecasts and models. However, a limitation of non-GAAP measures that exclude share-based compensation expense is that they do not reflect the full costs of compensating employees.

Other adjustments: These items are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not related to the core operating activities and ongoing operating performance of Cypress. Excluding these items, which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter, allows management to better compare Cypress's period-over-period performance. However, limitations of non-GAAP measures that exclude these items include that these adjustments are often subjective and may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Other adjustments primarily include:
