Power Integrations Reports Second-Quarter Financial Results

Non-GAAP earnings were $0.47/diluted share; GAAP earnings were $0.29/diluted share

Cash flow from operations was $25.1 million for the quarter; company announces new $30 million share-repurchase plan

SAN JOSE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 29, 2015 — Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Net revenues for the second quarter were $85.3 million, up three percent from the prior quarter and down four percent from the second quarter of 2014. GAAP gross margin for the second quarter was 51.6 percent; operating margin was 10.8 percent. Net income for the quarter was $8.6 million or $0.29 per diluted share, compared with $0.21 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $0.54 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2014. (GAAP net income for the year-ago quarter included a non-recurring tax benefit of $3.3 million.)

In addition to its GAAP results, the company provided non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation expenses, certain acquisition-related expenses, the tax effects of these items, and the above-mentioned tax benefit recognized in 2014. Non-GAAP gross margin for the second quarter was 53.1 percent; operating margin was 17.6 percent. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $14.2 million or $0.47 per diluted share, compared with $0.43 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $0.61 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2014.

Commented Balu Balakrishnan, president and CEO of Power Integrations: “Like many of our industry peers, we experienced lower-than-expected demand in the second quarter. However, we proactively adjusted our operating expenses during the quarter and delivered solid earnings and strong cash flow.

“While macroeconomic factors remain a concern, we did see an uptick in sales and bookings in the latter part of the second quarter. We anticipate sequential revenue growth in the third quarter, led by adoption of our new InnoSwitch™ product family, which continues to ramp into the mobile-device market and is now gaining adoption by customers in our other end-markets as well.”

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the company's consolidated financial statements, which are presented according to GAAP, the company provides certain non-GAAP financial information that excludes stock-based compensation expenses recorded under ASC 718-10, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and the write-up of acquired inventory, acquisition expenses, severance and transition expenses, the tax effects of these items, and the above-mentioned tax benefit recognized in 2014. The company uses these measures in its own financial and operational decision-making and, with respect to one measure, in setting performance targets for employee-compensation purposes. Further, the company believes that these non-GAAP measures offer an important analytical tool to help investors understand the company’s core operating results and trends, and to facilitate comparability with the operating results of other companies that provide similar measures. These non-GAAP measures have certain limitations as analytical tools and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial information. For example, stock-based compensation is an important component of the company’s compensation mix, and will continue to result in significant expenses in the company’s GAAP results for the foreseeable future, but is not reflected in the non-GAAP measures. Also, other companies, including companies in Power Integrations’ industry, may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The statements in this press release regarding the company’s forecast for its third-quarter financial performance are forward-looking statements reflecting management's current expectations and beliefs. These forward-looking statements are based on current information that is, by its nature, subject to rapid and even abrupt change. Due to risks and uncertainties associated with the company's business, actual results could differ materially from those projected or implied by these statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: changes in global macroeconomic conditions, which may impact the level of demand for the company’s products; potential changes and shifts in customer demand away from end products that utilize the company's integrated circuits to end products that do not incorporate the company's products; the effects of competition, which may cause the company to decrease its selling prices for its products; the outcome and cost of patent litigation, which may affect sales of the company’s products or could result in higher expenses and charges than currently expected; unforeseen costs and expenses; and unfavorable fluctuations in component costs or operating expenses resulting from changes in commodity prices and/or exchange rates. In addition, new product introductions and design wins are subject to the risks and uncertainties that typically accompany development and delivery of complex technologies to the marketplace, including product development delays and defects and market acceptance of the new products. These and other risk factors that may cause actual results to differ are more fully explained under the caption “Risk Factors” in the company's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 30, 2015. The company is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any obligation) to update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by the rules and regulations of the SEC.
