Cypress Reports First Quarter 2017 Results


SAN JOSE, Calif., April 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: CY) today announced its first quarter 2017 results.

"Cypress delivered record revenue1 in the first quarter that exceeded the high end of our guidance range," said Hassane El-Khoury, Cypress President and Chief Executive Officer. "We saw above seasonal growth in our Microcontroller and Connectivity Division and strength in our memory products which exceeded our expectations. Our wireless connectivity grew 30% from the fourth quarter of 2016 and Automotive revenue hit a new quarterly record. These results highlight the strong demand for our expanding portfolio of embedded systems solutions and the continued success of our Cypress 3.0 strategy to target markets growing faster than the overall semiconductor industry.

"The sale of our Minnesota fab earlier in the quarter will enable us to sharpen our focus on core businesses in line with our financial model and gross margin improvement plan," El-Khoury added.

BUSINESS REVIEW

+ At the Embedded World trade show in March, Cypress introduced key additions to its Internet of Things (IoT) solutions portfolio. Cypress' new PSoC® 6 microcontroller (MCU) architecture delivers the industry's lowest power and most flexible solution, with integrated security features required for next-generation, battery-powered, secure IoT devices. Cypress' two new wireless solutions offer advanced coexistence and robust connectivity combining 802.11ac high-performance Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth® and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for IoT applications.

+ Continental selected Cypress' Traveo™ II automotive MCUs for its next-generation body electronics platform, marking the Company's entrance into a new segment in the automotive market.

+ GAAP and non-GAAP margins for the first quarter of 2017 were 37.4% and 39.3%, respectively, above the midpoint of guidance and in line with the Company's margin-enhancing initiatives.

+ Cypress paid a dividend of $36.2 million, or $0.11 per share, to holders of record of the Company's common stock as of the close of business on March 30, 2017. The dividend was equivalent to a 3.2% annualized yield as of March 31, 2017.

SECOND QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

For the second quarter of 2017, Cypress estimates financial results as follows:?

?




GAAP

Non-GAAP

Revenue

$530 million to $560 million

Margin %

38.5% to 39.5%

40.0% to 41.0%

Diluted EPS

$(0.13) to $(0.09)

$0.14 to $0.18

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 second quarter 2017 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 second quarter of 2017. 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 April 27, 2017 at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time to discuss its first quarter 2017 results and provide an outlook for the second quarter of 2017.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

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

  • Revenue;
  • Margin;
  • Margin %;
  • Research and development expenses;
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses;
  • Provision (benefit) for income taxes;
  • Pretax profit margin %;
  • Operating income (loss);
  • Net income (loss); and
  • Diluted earnings (loss) per share.

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' 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 Cypress' long-term performance after the completion of acquisitions. 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:

  • Amortization of purchased intangibles, including purchased technology, patents, customer relationships, trademarks, backlog and non-compete agreements;
  • Amortization of step-up in value of inventory recorded as part of purchase price accounting; and
  • One-time charges associated with the completion of an acquisition including items such as contract termination costs, severance and other acquisition-related restructuring costs; costs incurred in connection with integration activities, and legal and accounting costs.

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' 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' 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' 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:

  • Revenue from an intellectual property license,
  • Changes in value of deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities,
  • Investment-related gains or losses, including equity method investments,
  • Restructuring and related costs,
  • Debt issuance costs, including imputed interest related to the equity component of convertible debt,
  • Asset impairments,
  • Tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments,
  • Certain other expenses and benefits, and
  • Diluted weighted average shares non-GAAP adjustment – for purposes of calculating non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, the GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding is adjusted to exclude the benefits related to share-based compensation expense.
