SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Synaptics (NASDAQ: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended December 27, 2014. Results for the period reflect the first quarter of consolidated results from the acquisition of Renesas SP Drivers, Inc. (RSP), completed on October 1, 2014.

Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 grew 125% over the comparable quarter last year to $463.7 million. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $20.0 million, or $0.52 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $55.8 million, or $1.46 per diluted share. (See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.)

"Synaptics achieved record top-line results for the second quarter, which included strong contributions from our new display drivers business," stated Rick Bergman, President and CEO. "We continue to execute across our strategic growth initiatives, with our new area touch fingerprint sensor and the market's first touch and display driver integrated (TDDI) solution now in mass production. We are very optimistic regarding our outlook for the second half of fiscal 2015 and are tracking well towards our combined operating model following the integration of RSP."

Second Quarter 2015 Business Metrics


    --  Revenue mix from mobile and PC products was approximately 86% and 14%,
        respectively. Fingerprint ID products have been classified according to
        type of device.
    --  Revenue from mobile products was up 198% year-over-year to $398.3
        million. Mobile products revenue includes all touchscreen, display
        driver, and applicable fingerprint ID products.
    --  Revenue from PC products totaled $65.4 million, a decrease of 9%
        year-over-year, and includes applicable fingerprint ID products.

Cash at December 31, 2014 was $327.5 million, a decrease of $122 million from the prior quarter. The decrease in cash was due to the purchase of RSP early in the quarter. In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, cash flow from operations was a negative $16.5 million as a result of the purchase of RSP inventory totaling $115 million from Renesas post-acquisition. Year-to-date, the company has used $91 million to repurchase approximately 1.3 million shares of its common stock, or roughly 3.5% of the total shares outstanding.

Kathy Bayless, CFO, added, "Considering our backlog of $245 million entering the March quarter, customer forecasts and the resulting expected product mix, we anticipate revenue to be in the range of $450 to $490 million, an increase of 120% to 140% over the prior year period. We expect the revenue mix from mobile and PC to be similar to the preceding quarter."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In evaluating its business, Synaptics considers and uses net income excluding share-based compensation, change in contingent consideration, and certain non-cash or non-recurring items as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Net income excluding share-based compensation, change in contingent consideration, and certain non-cash or non-recurring items 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 net income excluding share-based compensation, change in contingent consideration, and certain non-cash or non-recurring items because it considers it an important supplemental measure of its performance. The company believes this measure 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, change in contingent consideration, and certain non-cash or non-recurring items. Net income excluding share-based compensation, change in contingent consideration liability, and certain non-cash or non-recurring items 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.
