(firmenpresse) - SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/07/12 -- Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEM)
Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEM), a worldwide supplier of high performance connectivity and timing solutions, today announced results for its fiscal 2012 fourth quarter and year ended June 30, 2012.
Net revenues for the fourth quarter were $37.9 million, an increase of 14% from the $33.4 million reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, and down 12% from the $43.3 million reported in the comparable period last year. The revenue increase from the prior quarter reflects strength from the networking and telecom, server, storage, and embedded end-market segments. Net revenues for the fiscal year 2012 were $137.1 million, a decrease of 18% from the $166.3 million reported last year. The book-to-bill ratio for the fiscal fourth quarter was greater than 1.0.
GAAP gross margin was 35.7% in the fourth quarter, an increase from 34.7% last quarter and an increase from 35.0% in the comparable period last year. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 37.1% in the fourth quarter, which reflects exclusion of share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and amortization of fair value adjustments from the PTI acquisition. The comparable non-GAAP gross margins were 36.2% last quarter and also in the comparable period last year. The GAAP gross margin was 35.5% for the full fiscal year of 2012, an increase of 200 basis points from the 33.5% reported for fiscal year 2011. On a non-GAAP basis, the fiscal year 2012 gross margin was 36.9%, and increased by 180 basis points from fiscal year 2011's gross margin of 35.1%.
GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter was $1.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with net loss of $267,000, or $0.01 per diluted share in the third quarter, and net income of $1.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share in the comparable period last year. GAAP net income for all periods included share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, amortization of fair value adjustments, and other PTI acquisition related expenses. The fiscal 2012 fourth quarter also included establishment of a $2.8 million deferred tax asset valuation allowance relating to California tax credits that may not be utilized in the future and a $0.6 million note receivable write off. Excluding these items, non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter was $2.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $1.7 million or $0.07 per diluted share in the third quarter, and non-GAAP net income of $3.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share in the comparable period last year. For the full fiscal year 2012, GAAP net loss was $2.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with the GAAP net income of $13.5 million, or $0.53 per diluted share in fiscal year 2011. For the full fiscal year 2012, non-GAAP net income was $7.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared with $14.4 million, or $0.56 per diluted share in fiscal year 2011.
The balance sheet remained very strong with cash and investments in marketable securities of $128 million or $5.41 per diluted share at the end of the fourth quarter. Inventory decreased $0.6 million on a sequential basis to $16.6 million, which represents 63 days of supply based on non-GAAP cost of goods sold. This is the seventh consecutive quarter of inventory declines, and during this period inventory has decreased $14.4 million or 46.5% from $31.0 million. Trade accounts receivable increased by $2.6 million sequentially as a result of higher revenues, while DSO was flat at 58 days. At quarter-end, working capital was $128 million and the current ratio was 6.1.
"We were pleased with our fourth quarter results, especially since the end market increases were aligned with our strategic focus," said Alex Hui, President and CEO of Pericom. "Sequentially, our server and storage revenue increased 23%, networking and telecom increased 19% and embedded increased 18%. We initiated volume shipment of our USB 3.0 signal integrity solution in next generation Ivy Bridge computing platforms and we saw a nice ramp-up of our PCIe product revenue with our comprehensive switching, bridging, timing and signal integrity solution."
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, Pericom introduced a total of nine new products in our Signal Integrity, Connectivity, and Timing product areas.
We introduced 4 new products across our Connectivity product families targeting networking, server, storage, embedded, notebook and consumer segments, including PCIe GEN3 and USB switches, Hi-Flex consumer ASIC and microprocessor voltage supervisor.
We also expanded our Timing solutions for next generation platforms with 2 new products, including a specialized XO and a multi-output clock buffer optimized for networking applications.
For Signal Integrity, we introduced 3 new ReDriver products targeting PCIe GEN3 and 10Gb/40Gb Ethernet applications in server, storage, and networking applications.
On April 29, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $30 million of our common stock. Pursuant to the 2008 authorization, the Company repurchased 298,343 shares in the three months ended June 30, 2012 for an aggregate cost of $2.4 million and an average per share purchase price of $8.06. The remaining balance of potential share repurchases under the 2008 authorization is approximately $701,000. As Pericom has nearly completed the repurchase of shares pursuant to the 2008 authorization, the Board of Directors has authorized another repurchase program for up to an additional $25 million of shares of our common stock.

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this announcement of operating results contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the income statement effects of share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance, note receivable write off, fair value adjustments of acquired inventory, acquisition-related expenses, a one-time gain on the previously held interest in PTI, and the effects of excluding share-based compensation upon the number of diluted shares used in calculating non-GAAP earnings per share.
We have excluded share-based compensation expense in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures. These expenses are non-cash in nature and rely on valuations of the future market price of our common stock that is difficult to predict and is affected by market factors that are largely not within the control of management. We have excluded amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, establishment of a deferred tax valuation allowance, note receivable write off, amortization of the fair value adjustments related to acquired inventory, acquisition related expenses, the gain on the previously held interest in PTI, and the corresponding tax effect because we do not consider them to be related to our core operating performance. We also use non-GAAP data in calculating certain metrics such as non-GAAP cost of goods sold in computing inventory days of supply.
We use the non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate the Company's current operating performance. We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items is useful to investors because we do not consider these charges either part of the day-to-day business or reflective of the core operational activities of the Company that are within the control of management or that are used to evaluate the Company's operating performance.
The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
This press release contains forward-looking statements as defined under The Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements in this release include the statements under the captions "Fiscal Q1 2013 Outlook," which regard the anticipated revenues, gross margin, operating expenses, other income, and effective tax rate in the first fiscal quarter of 2013, and statements from our CEO regarding improving results and future deployment of our USB 3.0 and PCIe product solutions in next generation platforms, and other future expectations. The Company's actual results could differ materially from what is set forth in such forward-looking statements due to a variety of risk factors, including softness in demand for our products, price erosion for certain of our products, unexpected difficulties in developing new products, customer decisions to reduce inventory, economic or financial difficulties experienced by our customers, or technological and market changes. All forward-looking statements included in this document are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof, and Pericom assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Parties receiving this release are encouraged to review our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 2, 2011, subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and in particular, the risk factors sections contained in those reports.
