Exhibit 99.1
Synaptics Reports Record Revenue and Profit for Fiscal 2009;
Announces CEO Transition
Announces CEO Transition
Santa Clara, CA — July 30, 2009 — Synaptics (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leading developer of human
interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported
financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended June 30, 2009. The Company also announced
that Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Francis F. Lee, is retiring as CEO. Mr. Lee will
continue to serve as Chairman and will remain involved with the Company as an advisor to Synaptics’
management team. Thomas J. Tiernan, currently President and Chief Operating Officer, will succeed
Mr. Lee as President and CEO, effective immediately.
The Company’s GAAP results reflect the expensing of non-cash share-based compensation and non-cash
impairment charges for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and the years ended June 30, 2008 and June
30, 2009; and a non-cash non-operating gain for the quarter and year ended June 30, 2009.
Net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $115.3 million, an increase of approximately
19% over $96.9 million of net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Net income for the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $13.1 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared with net
income of $2.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Net
income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 included a non-cash non-operating gain of $160,000,
and net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 included a non-cash impairment charge of $4.7
million, both of which were related to the Company’s investment in auction rate securities.
Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $17.2 million, an increase of 60%
compared with non-GAAP net income of $10.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. On a per
share basis, non-GAAP net income was $0.47 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009,
an increase of 57% compared with net income per diluted share of $0.30 for the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2008. (See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.)
Net revenue for fiscal 2009 was $473.3 million, an increase of approximately 31% over $361.1
million for fiscal 2008. Net income for fiscal 2009 was $54.3 million, an increase of 75% compared
with net income of $31.1 million for fiscal 2008. On a per share basis, net income was $1.53 per
diluted share, an increase of 94% compared with net income per diluted share of $0.79 for fiscal
2008.
Non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2009 was $77.9 million, an increase of 52% compared with non-GAAP
net income of $51.4 million for fiscal 2008. On a per share basis, non-GAAP net income was $2.19
per diluted share, an increase of 67% compared with non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $1.31
for fiscal 2008. (See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.)
“Fiscal 2009 was another strong year for Synaptics despite the challenging economic environment,
with record annual revenue and net income growing 31% and 75%,
respectively,” stated Mr. Lee. “Our strong performance reflects solid execution across our key
markets and continued progress towards our diversification strategy based on the expanding adoption
of Synaptics’ interface solutions in the mobile phone market. While the current macro uncertainties
are evident in our customers’ order patterns, we are encouraged by our growing pipeline of design
opportunities in both the PC and non-PC markets. We expect continued growth in fiscal 2010 and will
continue to invest for the future.”
Kathy Bayless, SVP Finance, added, “As we look ahead to the first quarter and new fiscal year, our
outlook considers global economic conditions and the dynamic nature of the markets in which we
participate. Based on our current visibility, customer order patterns, customer forecasts and
backlog of $62.8 million exiting the June quarter, we anticipate revenue in the September quarter
will be $113 million to $119 million. As compared to the prior year quarter, we expect solid growth
from mobile phone applications, while PC based revenue will decline, primarily reflecting the
expected decrease in revenue from multi-media control applications, as well as a generally lower
priced touchpad product mix. Additionally, our current outlook for fiscal 2010 suggests a revenue
range of $495 million to $525 million, with the first half of the year roughly flat year over
year.”
Synaptics’ cash and short-term investments at the end of June totaled $192.0 million. This balance
excludes $28.8 million at book value of auction rate securities, which are included in non-current
assets on the balance sheet. In the September quarter, the Company received redemptions of $3.3
million of certain auction rate securities, resulting in a $160,000 non-cash, non-operating gain.
The company continues to monitor its investments in auction rate securities in light of the current
economic uncertainties.
Mr. Lee added, “Synaptics is stronger and better positioned than at any time in its history and as
I am interested in dedicating more of my time to my family, my foundation and other charitable and
civic endeavors, I feel this is the right time for me to step down as CEO. Tom and I have worked
closely together to spearhead the company’s growth over the past three years, and the Board and I
have confidence in Tom’s ability to lead the company through its next stages of growth. Since
joining the company in March 2006, Tom’s strong business background, general management
capabilities and focus on execution have served Synaptics well. During that time he has taken on
increased responsibilities and broadened his role and impact within Synaptics. Tom has proven his
ability to lead our global team, forge important customer relationships, expand our technology into
exciting new markets, and deliver record financial results despite tough market conditions.”
“I am grateful for the confidence that Francis and the Board have placed in me, and I could not be
more pleased that Francis will continue to be involved as an advisor to the Synaptics leadership
team,” commented Mr. Tiernan. “Our prospects have never been brighter, and I am highly energized by
the opportunity to continue the company’s mission of innovating and deploying intuitive touch
solutions across multiple end-markets globally. We will build on the growth and profitability that
Synaptics has achieved since its IPO in 2002 and maintain a strong focus on enhancing shareholder
value as we move forward.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In evaluating its business, Synaptics considers and uses net income per share excluding share-based
compensation and unusual or non-recurring items as a supplemental measure of operating performance.
Net income excluding share-based compensation and unusual 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
and unusual 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 non-cash compensation charges and unusual or non-recurring items. Net income excluding
share-based compensation and unusual 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.
