GAAP net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 were $534.0 million, up 1.0% from GAAP net sales of $528.9 million in the prior year's first fiscal quarter. GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $130.7 million, or 60 cents per diluted share, up 45.3% from GAAP net income of $89.9 million, or 40 cents per diluted share, in the prior year's first fiscal quarter.
Non-GAAP net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 were $534.0 million, up 0.5% from non-GAAP net sales of $531.3 million in the prior year's first fiscal quarter. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $148.9 million, or 69 cents per diluted share, down 1.8% from non-GAAP net income of $151.6 million, or 68 cents per diluted share, in the prior year's first fiscal quarter. For the first quarters of fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, our non-GAAP results exclude the effect of share-based compensation, expenses related to our acquisition activities (including intangible asset amortization, inventory valuation costs, severance costs, and legal and other general and administrative expenses associated with acquisitions), GAAP non recognition of revenue for inventory in the distribution channel at the acquisition date for our acquisitions, gains from equity securities and equity method investment, non-cash interest expense on our convertible debentures, and non-recurring tax events. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP and GAAP results is included in this press release.
Microchip announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of 35.80 cents per share. The quarterly dividend is payable on September 25, 2015 to stockholders of record on September 11, 2015.
Microchip also announced today that it has completed its acquisition of Micrel Incorporated for a combination of approximately $430 million in cash and the issuance of 8,626,795 shares of Microchip common stock.
"Our June quarter revenue was below our guidance but was consistent with industry conditions as evidenced by what others in the semiconductor industry have reported," said Steve Sanghi, President and CEO. "The June quarter started out well, but the negative effects of a very weak economy in China and challenges in Europe, led by a very weak Euro caused us to finish the quarter below our revenue guidance provided on May 7, 2015."
Mr. Sanghi added, "Our non-GAAP gross margin percentage and our operating profit percentage were within our guidance and we achieved record non-GAAP earnings per share. The June quarter was our 99th consecutive quarter of profitability."
"Our microcontroller revenue was up 1.3% in the June quarter compared to the year ago quarter and we experienced the same broad-based weakness that has been reported by many other companies in the industry," said Ganesh Moorthy, Chief Operating Officer. "In the aggregate over the last four rolling quarters, our microcontroller business was up 8% over the prior four quarters. We are continuing to deliver innovative new 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers that we believe will enable us to continue to gain market share."
Mr. Moorthy added, "Our analog business was down 0.6% in the June quarter compared to the year ago quarter and experienced the same weakness we saw in our microcontroller business. In the aggregate over the last four rolling quarters, our analog business was up 11% over the prior four quarters. We continue to develop and introduce a wide range of innovative and proprietary new products to help fuel the future growth of our analog business."
Eric Bjornholt, Microchip's Chief Financial Officer, said, "Our cash generation in the June quarter excluding the purchase of the remaining outstanding shares of ISSC, our dividend payment, and changes in borrowing levels, was $143.8 million. As of June 30, 2015, our consolidated cash and total investment position was approximately $2.43 billion. The dividend that we announced today marks the 46th occasion that we have increased our dividend payment, and cumulative dividends paid are now $2.59 billion."
Mr. Sanghi concluded, "We have evaluated the current global economic environment, semiconductor industry conditions, our backlog position and customer designs coming to production and expect our revenue to be between $497 million and $534 million in the September quarter, excluding any revenue from our Micrel acquisition for the partial quarter after the closing of the acquisition. From the date of acquisition, we expect non-GAAP revenue from Micrel to add an additional $35 million to our September results."
Microchip's Highlights for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2015:
-- Microchip reclaimed the #1 position in 8-bit microcontroller revenue in
2014, while growing its market share in 8, 16 and 32-bit MCUs and
breaking into the top 10 for 32-bit MCUs, according to Gartner.
Microchip has continued to innovate across all of its 8-bit, 16-bit and
32-bit product lines.
-- As an example of that innovation, Microchip continued to expand its
offering of 8-bit PIC(®) microcontrollers with two new families that
integrate Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs), which combine to perform
functions autonomously, without the core. Because these functions are
deterministically and reliably performed in hardware instead of
software, CIPs enable system performance that is far beyond typical
8-bit MCUs while simplifying the design experience and reducing memory
cost.
-- Microchip's MOST(®) technology devices continued to win new designs in
automotive infotainment networks, with fresh deployments in Volvo's XC90
and Kia's K900 models. More than 170 million MOST devices have been
installed in 184 car models, since 2001. Additionally, Microchip
recently shipped the 25 millionth device from its MOST50 product line,
due to the continued deployment by a wide variety of brands from
carmakers General Motors Co. and Toyota Motor Corporation.
-- On the technology side, designers using the Automotive Open System
Architecture (AUTOSAR) to develop and reuse their in-vehicle software
can now connect their systems to not only networking technologies such
as CAN and LIN, but also to MOST networking technology. This means that
Microchip's MOST devices can be used for cross-domain communication in
an AUTOSAR system, such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS),
which simplifies automotive networking and diagnostics.
-- Microchip subsidiary Silicon Storage Technology (SST) further
strengthened its market leadership in embedded Flash-based devices, by
expanding its partnership with GLOBALFOUNDRIES to include an
automotive-grade 55nm embedded SuperFlash(®) memory platform. To date,
more than 50 billion devices have shipped with SST's SuperFlash
technology.
-- In the growing digital power market, Microchip introduced its
third-generation 16-bit dsPIC33EP "GS" family, which features higher
performance, more integration, lower power consumption, smaller
footprints and the unique Live Update capability.
-- For analog power designs, Microchip announced the world's first
high-side current/power sensor to feature both a configurable analog
output and a 2-wire digital bus, which maximizes data and diagnostic
reporting while minimizing data latency. Additionally, the Company added
a power-monitoring IC with advanced features for high-accuracy power
measurement in commercial and industrial designs.
-- In other analog news, Microchip expanded its high-speed
analog-to-digital converter portfolio with high-integration, low-power
14-/12-bit, 200 Msps stand-alone ADCs. These devices are targeted for
applications in the communications markets, such as base stations, test
equipment, and IF receivers, among others.
-- Microchip also unveiled the world's first USB3.0 Smart Hubs, which
enable host and device port swapping, I/O bridging and various other
serial communication interfaces. These Smart Hubs simplify system
design, reduce board area, are USB-IF logo certified and deliver
Microchip's proven USB hub interoperability for a wide range of
applications in the computing, embedded, medical, industrial and
networking markets.
-- In the high-growth area of human interface, Microchip expanded its
portfolio of projected-capacitive touch screen controllers with a
noise-robust, advanced multi-touch and gesture device that supports
screens up to 10". It provides multi-touch coordinates as well as a
readymade multi-finger surface gesture suite that brings modern
user-interface elements-such as pinch and zoom, multi-finger scrolling,
and swipes-to any embedded design, with minimal host requirements.
-- To ease the development of consumer audio products with its 32-bit MCUs,
Microchip introduced the PIC32 Harmony Software Decoder Framework and
Microsoft WMA Decoder Library. Example applications include audio docks,
automotive head units and home-audio platforms.
Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2016 Outlook:
The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. Due to the closing of our acquisition of Micrel on August 3, 2015, we are not able to provide GAAP guidance at this time, as the purchase accounting valuation adjustments related to the acquisition including acquired intangibles and inventory write-up as well as other acquisition-related charges are not yet known. We are able to provide the following non-GAAP guidance which includes Micrel:
Microchip Consolidated Guidance -
Non-GAAP(1)
Net Sales $532 million to $569 million
Gross Margin(2) 57.6% to 57.8%
Operating Expenses 27.7% to 28.9%
Other Expense $7.9 million
Income Tax Expense 11.1% to 12.1%
Net Income $127.3 million to $145.4 million
Diluted Common Shares
Outstanding(3) 220 million shares
Earnings per Diluted Share(3) 58 cents to 66 cents
---------------------------- --------------------
(1) See the "Use of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures" section of
this release.
(2) See Footnote 2 under the
"Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures" section of this
release.
(3) Earnings per share have
been calculated based on the
diluted shares outstanding of
Microchip on a consolidated
basis.
-- There is about 1.5 cents of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share dilution
reflected in the table above from the Micrel transaction.
-- Excluding the Micrel acquisition and any purchase accounting impacts
from the Micrel acquisition, Microchip's inventory days at September 30,
2015 are expected to increase by 2 to 17 days to be between 125 days and
140 days. Our actual inventory level will depend on the inventory that
our distributors decide to hold to support their customers, overall
demand for our products and our production levels. We are reducing wafer
starts in our Fabs and loadings in our assembly and test factories to
manage inventory in the current business environment.
-- Capital expenditures for the quarter ending September 30, 2015 are
expected to be approximately $35 million. We have brought down the
capital expenditures for all of fiscal year 2016 to be approximately
$125 million. We are continuing to invest in the equipment needed to
support the growth of our production capabilities for fast growing new
products and technologies.
-- Excluding the Micrel acquisition, we expect net cash generation during
the September quarter of $100 million to $120 million prior to the
dividend payment, changes in borrowing levels, and our
acquisition-related activities.
(1) Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Our non-GAAP adjustments, where applicable, include the effect of share-based compensation, expenses related to our acquisition activities (including intangible asset amortization, inventory valuation costs, severance costs, and legal and other general and administrative expenses associated with acquisitions), gains from equity securities and equity method investment, non-cash interest expense on our convertible debentures, the related income tax implications of these items and non-recurring tax events. Our non-GAAP net sales outlook for the September 2015 quarter reflects revenue from the sell-through of products from Micrel's distributors that the distributors own as of the acquisition date that is not recognized for GAAP purposes. We believe that our disclosure of non-GAAP net sales provides investors with information regarding the actual end market demand for our products.
We are required to estimate the cost of certain forms of share-based compensation, including employee stock options, restricted stock units and our employee stock purchase plan, and to record a commensurate expense in our income statement. Share-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is affected by the price of our stock at the date of grant. The price of our stock is affected by market forces that are difficult to predict and are not within the control of management. Our other non-GAAP adjustments are either non-cash expenses or non-recurring expenses related to such transactions. Accordingly, management excludes all of these items from its internal operating forecasts and models.
We are using non-GAAP net sales, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit percentage, non-GAAP operating expenses in dollars and as a percentage of sales including non-GAAP research and development expenses and non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP other expense, net, non-GAAP income tax provision (benefit)/tax rate, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share which exclude the items noted above, as applicable, to permit additional analysis of our performance.
Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they enhance the understanding of our historical financial performance and comparability between periods. Many of our investors have requested that we disclose this non-GAAP information because they believe it is useful in understanding our performance as it excludes non-cash and other charges that many investors feel may obscure our underlying operating results. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to manage and assess the profitability of our business. Specifically, we do not consider such items when developing and monitoring our budgets and spending. Our determination of the above non-GAAP measures might not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it should not be construed as a substitute for amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations associated with using non-GAAP measures, including that they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. Management compensates for this by presenting information on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for investors and providing reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP results.
(2) Generally, gross margin fluctuates over time, driven primarily by the mix of microcontrollers, mixed-signal products, analog products and memory products sold and licensing revenue; variances in manufacturing yields; fixed cost absorption; wafer fab loading levels; costs of wafers from foundries; inventory reserves; pricing pressures in our non-proprietary product lines; and competitive and economic conditions. Operating expenses fluctuate over time, primarily due to net sales and profit levels.
(3 )Diluted Common Shares Outstanding can vary for, among other things, the trading price of our common stock, the actual exercise of options or vesting of restricted stock units, the potential for incremental dilutive shares from our convertible debentures (additional information regarding our share count is available in the investor relations section of our website under the heading "Supplemental Financial Information"), and the repurchase or the issuance of stock. The diluted common shares outstanding presented in the guidance table above assumes an average Microchip stock price in the September 2015 quarter of $43 per share (however, we make no prediction as to what our actual share price will be for such period or any other period and we cannot estimate what our stock option exercise activity will be during the quarter). The diluted common shares outstanding number presented in the guidance table above includes the impact of the 8.6 million shares Microchip issued in the Micrel transaction but excludes any shares that Microchip may acquire under its share repurchase program in the September 2015 quarter.
