SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Synaptics Incorporated (NASDAQ: SYNA), the leading developer of human interface solutions, today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016.

Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 increased 19 percent sequentially and declined 2 percent from the comparable quarter last year to $461.3 million. GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 increased $19.1 million sequentially from $3.7 million and decreased 35 percent from the prior year period to $22.8 million, or $0.64 per diluted share.   

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 increased 56 percent sequentially and declined 11 percent from the prior year period to $53.4 million, or $1.49 per diluted share. This includes a benefit of $0.11 per diluted share for the reduction of the year-to-date non-GAAP tax rate in the second quarter. (See below under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” and the attached table for a description and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.)

“We are pleased to report solid results for the second fiscal quarter,” stated Rick Bergman, President and CEO. “We saw several positive developments during the period including continued traction for our TDDI and fingerprint sensing solutions; the expansion of our biometrics portfolio with optical technology and our multi-factor biometric fusion engine; the introduction of our first display driver solution for OLED-based smartphones, which is now sampling to customers; and significant progress towards our in-display integration roadmap. We are benefitting from the investments we have made in key growth areas, strengthening our market leading position and expanding our customer base.” 

Second Quarter 2017 Business Metrics

  • Revenue mix from mobile and PC products was approximately 86 percent and 14 percent respectively. Fingerprint products have been classified according to type of device.
  • Revenue from mobile products of $397.5 million was up 20 percent sequentially and down 3 percent year-over-year. Mobile products revenue includes all touchscreen, display driver, and applicable fingerprint products.
  • Revenue from PC products totaled $63.8 million, a sequential increase of 16 percent and an increase of 2 percent year-over-year, and includes applicable fingerprint products.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In evaluating its business, Synaptics considers and uses Non-GAAP Net Income, which we define as net income excluding share-based compensation, acquisition related costs, and certain other non-cash or recurring and non-recurring items the company doesn’t believe are indicative of its core operating performance as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Non-GAAP Net Income is not a measurement of the company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income. The company presents Non-GAAP Net Income because it considers it an important supplemental measure of its performance since it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences in net income caused by the existence and timing of share-based compensation charges, acquisition related costs, and certain other non-cash or recurring and non-recurring items. Non-GAAP Net Income has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company’s GAAP net income. The principal limitations of this measure are that it does not reflect the company’s actual expenses and may thus have the effect of inflating its net income and net income per share as compared to its operating results reported under GAAP.
