Cypress Reports Second-Quarter 2008 Results


SAN JOSE, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE:CY) today announced that revenue for the 2008 second quarter was $592.3 million, up 34.0% from $442.1 million for the prior quarter, and up 58.9% from $372.8 million for the year-ago period.

Cypress recorded GAAP net income of $23.4 million in the 2008 second quarter, or diluted earnings per share of $0.14. That compares with last quarter's diluted loss per share of $0.11. GAAP diluted earnings per share in the year-ago second quarter was $2.29, derived largely from the sale of 7.5 million shares of SunPower Corporation common stock.

Non-GAAP(2) net income for the 2008 second quarter--earnings that exclude stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges and other special charges and credits--totaled $47.8 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.28. That compares with non-GAAP(2) diluted earnings per share of $0.12 for the prior quarter and $0.16 for the year-ago second quarter.


Cypress's President and CEO T.J. Rodgers said, "Cypress achieved record quarterly revenue and exceeded guidance in both our core semiconductor and SunPower businesses. Despite a very challenging economic environment, our semiconductor business grew solidly across all divisions driven by the strength of our programmable solutions.

"While we remain cautious about the macro economic environment for the second half of 2008, we anticipate strong sequential growth in our semiconductor business, driven mainly by our flagship programmable products, our PSoC(R) Programmable-System-on-Chip(TM) solution and by our WestBridge(TM) peripheral controllers. Both of these products are expected to achieve record quarterly revenues in our seasonally strong Q3." BUSINESS REVIEW

+ On a GAAP basis, second-quarter consolidated gross margin was 33.4%. Semiconductor(1) gross margin for the second quarter was 48.5%, up 0.9 percentage points from the previous quarter.

+ Non-GAAP(2) consolidated gross margin for the second quarter was 35.0%, up 0.8 percentage points from the previous quarter.

+ Non-GAAP(2) semiconductor(1) gross margin for the second quarter was 50.7%, matching the previous quarter.

+ Cypress grew its PSoC customer base to 7,846 customers, up 12.2% quarter-on-quarter and 69.8% year-on-year.

+ Cypress launched its PSoC-based TrueTouch(TM) touchscreen solution targeting the touch-sensitive interfaces of many popular new portable consumer electronics devices. TrueTouch can interpret the instructions of up to 10 fingers simultaneously. The solution supports a range of next-generation applications, such as enabling users to play video games on touch-sensitive handheld devices or map multiple points on a GPS system.

+ Cypress announced several design wins for its PSoC-based CapSense capacitive touch-sensing solution during the quarter. JVC selected the CapSense(TM) solution to control the graphic interface on its Everio G Series camcorders. Acer chose CapSense to help drive the media console on its Aspire 6920 and 8920G notebook PCs.

+ Cypress unveiled the CY8C23x33, a PSoC device with expanded programmable analog capabilities for motor controls and other industrial applications. The device features an enhanced analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for fast analog sampling and expanded 8 kbytes of Flash memory for complex algorithm processing.

+ Cypress introduced ColorLock(TM) optical feedback technology in its PSoC-based EZ-Color(TM) high-brightness LED solution. The feature compensates for LED color binning and output degradation caused by time and temperature by sensing color and correcting LED drive signals on the fly.

+ Darfon Electronics Corp., a leading global manufacturer of PC peripherals, selected Cypress's PRoC(TM) LP programmable radio-on-chip to connect its plug-in wireless adapter with its wireless mice. PRoC is a single-chip solution that combines Cypress's enCoRe(TM) II microcontroller with a 2.4-GHz wireless radio.

+ Cypress introduced the OvationONS(TM) II "mouse on a chip" solution, the first product to combine a high-precision laser navigation sensor with an optical signal processor and a microcontroller on a single chip. The Ovation family targets high-performance mice for gaming and graphic design applications. The new product was selected by Taiwan-based PC peripherals maker Sunrex Technology for use in trackball applications.

+ Cypress introduced 2-Mbit and 8-Mbit non-volatile static random access memories (nvSRAMs), extending its nvSRAM portfolio from 16-Kbit to 8-Mbit. Non-volatile SRAMs provide the high-speed access of a standard SRAM, but retain data even without power. The products are ideal for applications requiring critical data retention, such as RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) and other data storage, industrial, military, medical and automotive systems.

+ Cypress Systems, a subsidiary of Cypress Semiconductor Corp., introduced wireless sensor solutions for manufacturing plants that wirelessly network instrumentation to eliminate manual monitoring. Cypress Systems recently installed its solution at a Micrel wafer fab, which is expected to generate about $215,000 per year in savings with a seven-month payback.

+ Continuing to focus its business on programmable products and solutions, Cypress sold its Silicon Light Machines (SLM) subsidiary to Dainippon Screen Manufacturing of Kyoto, Japan, for $11 million. Cypress will retain and integrate SLM's OvationONS(TM) optical navigation sensor technology into its core business.

+ BusinessWeek magazine named Cypress to its annual InfoTech100 list of top-performing global technology companies. Cypress was the highest-rated U.S. semiconductor company on the list, outperforming its competition over the past four quarters in total revenues, revenue growth percentage, return on equity and shareholder return.

+ SunPower extended its technology leadership in photovoltaics with the production of a full-scale prototype solar cell featuring a world-record efficiency of 23.4%.

+ Business intelligence software maker SAS selected SunPower and two partners to build a 1-megawatt solar plant at its Cary, N.C., headquarters campus. The plant is scheduled to go online later this year. SunPower also announced a deal to install solar power systems at 14 Macy's department stores throughout California.

+ SunPower completed two solar power plants in Spain totaling 8.7 megawatts, and a 1.4-megawatt plant in South Korea. All three installations employ SunPower's patented Tracker technology, which drives panels to follow the sun, generating approximately 30% more power than traditional fixed-tilt systems.

+ SunPower announced plans to build its third solar cell manufacturing plant in Malaysia, with production likely to commence in 2010. When fully operational, the plant will have an annual production capacity exceeding one gigawatt. SunPower's first two plants have capacities of 108 megawatts and 466 megawatts respectively.

Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Cypress uses non-GAAP financial measures which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to exclude certain items, as described in details below. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional and useful way of viewing aspects of Cypress's operations that, when viewed in conjunction with Cypress's GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the various factors and trends affecting Cypress's business and operations. Non-GAAP financial measures used by Cypress include:

-- Gross margin;

-- Research and development expenses;

-- Selling, general and administrative expenses;

-- Operating income (loss);

-- Net income (loss); and

-- Diluted net income (loss) per share.

Cypress uses each of these non-GAAP financial measures for internal managerial purposes, when providing its financial results and business outlook to the public, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Cypress's operational and financial performance of current and historical results. Management uses these non-GAAP measures for strategic and business decision making, internal budgeting, forecasting and resource allocation processes. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management's internal comparisons to Cypress's historical operating results and comparisons to competitors' operating results.

Cypress believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the GAAP financial results, are useful to investors because they allow investors to see Cypress's results "through the eyes" of management as these non-GAAP financial measures reflect Cypress's internal measurement processes. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to better assess changes in each key element of Cypress's operating results across different reporting periods on a consistent basis. Thus, management believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with another method for assessing Cypress's operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations.

Cypress presents each non-GAAP financial measure, including the diluted net income (loss) per share, for the following categories: "Semiconductor," "SunPower," and "Consolidated." SunPower is a majority-owned subsidiary of Cypress and for accounting purposes, Cypress is required to consolidate SunPower's results. Cypress includes two distinct businesses: Semiconductor and SunPower. Semiconductor is Cypress's traditional core semiconductor business. On the other hand, SunPower is a stand-alone, publicly-traded company specializing in solar power products.

Cypress's investment community often views Cypress as two separate entities: Cypress and SunPower, and many Cypress investors have focused on the possibility of a future separation of SunPower and Cypress in evaluating an investment in Cypress. Based on feedback provided by Cypress's investment community to management, these non-GAAP financial measures divided into "Semiconductor" and "SunPower" are beneficial as they allow Cypress's investment community to better understand Cypress's financial performance for the two businesses separately, assess the various methodologies and information used by management to evaluate and measure such performance, and construct their valuation models to better align Cypress's and SunPower's results and projections with their applicable competitors and industries.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may be limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon Cypress's reported financial results. Management compensates for these limitations by providing investors with reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. 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. Investors should review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the accompanying press release.

As presented in the "Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" tables in the accompanying press release, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items:

 -- Stock-based compensation expense.
   Stock-based compensation expense relates primarily to the equity
   awards such as stock options and restricted stock. Stock-based
   compensation is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from
   period to period and is dependent on market forces that are
   often beyond Cypress's control. As a result, management
   excludes this item from Cypress's internal operating forecasts
   and models. Management believes that non-GAAP measures adjusted
   for stock-based compensation provide investors with a basis to
   measure Cypress's core performance against the performance of
   other companies without the variability created by stock-based
   compensation as a result of the variety of equity awards used
   by companies and the varying methodologies and subjective
   assumptions used in determining such non-cash expense.
 -- Impairment of assets.
   Cypress wrote off the net book values of certain manufacturing
   equipment in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, which resulted
   from the discontinuation of certain SunPower's product line or
   was replaced due to obsolescence / underperformance. Cypress
   excluded this item because the non-cash expense is not
   reflective of its ongoing operating results. Excluding this
   impairment charge allows investors to better compare Cypress's
   period-over-period performance without such non-cash expense.
 -- Acquisition-related expense.
   Acquisition-related expense includes: (1) fair value adjustment
   to deferred revenue, which is an adjustment that results in
   certain revenues never being recognized under GAAP by either
   the acquiring company or the company being acquired, (2)
   amortization of intangibles, which include acquired intangibles
   such as purchased technology, patents and trademarks, (3)
   impairment of intangibles, which relates to the net book value
   of the PowerLight tradename being written off in its entirety
   as a result of the change in branding strategy, and (4) earn-
   out compensation expense, which include compensation resulting
   from the achievement of milestones established in accordance
   with the terms of the acquisitions. In most cases, these
   acquisition-related charges are not factored into management's
   evaluation of potential acquisitions or Cypress's performance
   after completion of acquisitions, because they are not related
   to Cypress's core operating performance. In addition, in all
   cases, the frequency and amount of such charges can vary
   significantly based on the size and timing of acquisitions and
   the maturities of the businesses being acquired. Adjustments of
   these items provide investors with a basis to compare Cypress
   against the performance of other companies without the
   variability caused by purchase accounting.
 -- Changes in value of Cypress's key employee deferred compensation
 plan.
   Cypress sponsors a voluntary deferred compensation plan which
   provides certain key employees with the option to defer the
   receipt of compensation in order to accumulate funds for
   retirement. The amounts are held in a trust and Cypress does
   not make contributions to the deferred compensation plan or
   guarantee returns on the investment. Changes in the value of
   the investment in Cypress's common stock under the plan are
   excluded from the non-GAAP measures. Management believes that
   such non-cash item is not related to the ongoing core business
   and operating performance of Cypress, as the investment
   contributions are made by the employees themselves.
 -- Release of allowance for uncollectible employee loans.
   The allowance for uncollectible employee loans is related to
   outstanding employee loans under Cypress's stock purchase
   assistance plan. Management released a portion of the allowance
   based on a review of the status of the outstanding loans.
   Management excludes this non-cash benefit from the non-GAAP
   measures because it does not relate to Cypress's core business
   or impact its operating performance. Adjustment of this item
   allows investors to better compare Cypress's period-over-period
   operating results.
 -- Restructuring charges.
   Restructuring costs primarily relate to activities engaged by
   management to make changes related to its infrastructure in an
   effort to reduce costs. Restructuring costs are excluded from
   non-GAAP financial measures because they are not considered
   core operating activities and such costs have not historically
   occurred in each year. Although Cypress has engaged in various
   restructuring activities in the past, each has been a discrete
   event based on a unique set of business objectives. Cypress
   does not engage in restructuring activities on a regular basis.
   As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude
   restructuring charges from Cypress's non-GAAP financial
   measures, as it enhances the ability of investors to compare
   Cypress's period-over-period operating results from continuing
   operations.
 -- Investment-related gains/losses.
   Cypress recognizes an impairment loss related to its investment
   when it determines the decline in fair value is other-than-
   temporary in nature. This item is excluded from non-GAAP
   financial measures because it is a non-cash expense that is not
   considered a core operating activity, and such losses have not
   historically occurred in every quarter. In addition,
   investment-related gains/losses include gains/losses related to
   the sales of its debt and equity investments and gains/losses
   related to certain derivative instruments. Management believes
   that such gains/losses are not related to the ongoing business
   and operating performance of Cypress. As such, management
   believes that it is appropriate to exclude investment-related
   gains/losses from Cypress's non-GAAP financial measures, as it
   enhances the ability of investors to compare Cypress's period-
   over-period operating results.
 -- Write-off of unamortized bond issuance costs.
   During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, the market price
   trigger test was met for our convertible debt, giving the
   holders of the convertible debt the rights to convert. As a
   result, we accelerated the amortization of our remaining bond
   issuance costs in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and in the
   first quarter of fiscal 2008. These costs are excluded from the
   non-GAAP financial measures because such non-cash expenses have
   not historically occurred in every quarter, which would affect
   the ability of investors to compare Cypress's period-over-
   period operating results. In addition, management does not
   believe that this item is indicative of the ongoing operating
   performance of Cypress's business.
 -- Related minority interest adjustment and tax effect.
   Cypress adjusts for the minority interest impact and the income
   tax effect that resulted from the non-GAAP adjustments as
   described above.
