QuickLogic Reports Fiscal 2017 Second Quarter Results

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ:QUIK), a developer of ultra-low power multi-core voice enabled SoCs, embedded FPGA IP, display bridge and programmable logic solutions, announced its financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended July 2, 2017.

Recent Accomplishments

Fiscal 2017 second Quarter Financial Results
Total revenue was $3.0 million, within guidance, down 5% compared to the first quarter of 2017 and up 11% compared to the second quarter of 2016. New product revenue was $1.5 million, down 22% compared to the first quarter of 2017 and up 25% compared to the second quarter of 2016. Mature product revenue was $1.5 million, up 22% compared to the first quarter of 2017 and 1% compared to the second quarter of 2016. New product revenue accounted for 49% of the total revenue, compared to 60% in the first quarter of 2017 and 44% in the second quarter of 2016.

GAAP gross margin increased to 45.6%, up from 43.3% in the first quarter of 2017 and 28.6% in the second quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP gross margin increased to 46.3%, up from 44.4% in the first quarter of 2017 and 30.3% in the second quarter of 2016. The improvements are primarily due to IP license revenue and better product mix. GAAP operating expenses increased slightly to $4.9 million, from $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2017 and down significantly from $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2016.  Non-GAAP operating expenses were $4.6 million, flat compared to the first quarter of 2017 and down from $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2016. The reduction from Q2 2016 reflects the cost savings from our strategic realignment efforts. GAAP net loss was flat at $3.6 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to the first quarter of 2017 and improved compared to $5.6 million, or $0.08 per share, in the second quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP net loss was slightly higher at $3.3 million compared to $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2017 and improved from $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2016. (See below for an explanation of non-GAAP financial measures.)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
QuickLogic reports financial information in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or US GAAP, but believes that non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in evaluating its operating results and comparing its performance to comparable companies. Accordingly, the Company excludes charges related to stock-based compensation, restructuring, the effect of the write-off of long-lived assets and the tax effect on other comprehensive income in calculating non-GAAP (i) income (loss) from operations, (ii) net income (loss), (iii) net income (loss) per share, and (iv) gross margin percentage. The Company provides this non-GAAP information to enable investors to evaluate its operating results in a manner similar to how the Company analyzes its operating results and to provide consistency and comparability with similar companies in the Company’s industry.

Management uses the non-GAAP measures, which exclude gains, losses and other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company’s core operating results, internally to evaluate its operating performance against results in prior periods and its operating plans and forecasts. In addition, the non-GAAP measures are used to plan for the Company’s future periods, and serve as a basis for the allocation of the Company's resources, management of operations and the measurement of profit-dependent cash and equity compensation paid to employees and executive officers.

Investors should note, however, that the non-GAAP financial measures used by QuickLogic may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as that of other companies. QuickLogic does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures alone or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of US GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures is included in the financial statements portion of this press release. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures with their most directly comparable US GAAP financial measures.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding our future business expectations, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and may differ materially from actual results due to a variety of factors including: delays in the market acceptance of the Company’s new products; the ability to convert design opportunities into customer revenue; our ability to replace revenue from end-of-life products; the level and timing of customer design activity; the market acceptance of our customers’ products; the risk that new orders may not result in future revenue; our ability to introduce and produce new products based on advanced wafer technology on a timely basis; our ability to adequately market the low power, competitive pricing and short time-to-market of our new products; intense competition, including the introduction of new products by competitors; our ability to hire and retain qualified personnel; changes in product demand or supply; capacity constraints; and general economic conditions. These and other potential factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from the results predicted are described in more detail in the Company’s public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the risks discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s prior press releases, which are available on the Company's Investor Relations website at ir.quicklogic.com/and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. In addition, please note that the date of this press release is August 9, 2017, and any forward-looking statements contained herein are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date. We undertake no obligation to update these statements as a result of new information or future events.
