Synaptics Reports Third Fiscal Quarter Financial Results

Synaptics Reports Third Fiscal Quarter Financial Results SAN JOSE, Calif., Apr 24, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --

Synaptics (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leader in touch pads and other human interface solutions for mobile computing and communications devices, today reported financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003.

Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 was $26.1 million compared to $24.4 million for the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. Actual (GAAP) net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 was $2.1 million, or $0.09 per basic share and $0.08 per diluted share. This compares with GAAP net income of $2.4 million, or $0.14 per basic share and $0.10 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2002.

Pro forma net income for the third fiscal quarter, excluding non-cash charges related to the amortization of intangibles and deferred stock-based compensation, was $2.2 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share. This compares to pro forma net income of $2.6 million, or $0.15 per basic share and $0.11 per diluted share, for the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.

"We are pleased to report both sequential growth in revenue and profits as well as a return to year-over-year revenue growth," stated Francis Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synaptics. "Our results reflect solid execution in what is still a challenging business environment and in a quarter that historically is seasonally down. Innovation and design activity in the notebook market remains strong, and we have more than doubled our revenue contributions from our new market initiatives through the first nine-months of this fiscal year."

Russ Knittel, Synaptics' Chief Financial Officer, added, "We enter our fourth fiscal quarter with a strong backlog and anticipate sequential revenue growth of up to four percent. We expect this upside to be driven primarily by shipments into the new markets, as industry estimates call for flat to slightly down notebook shipments. While new design activity in the notebook market remains highly competitive, our current visibility points to continued sequential revenue growth in the September quarter."

This press release contains "forward-looking" statements about Synaptics, as that term is defined under the federal securities laws. Synaptics intends such forward-looking statements to be subject to the safe-harbor created by those laws. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Synaptics' revenue expectations, earnings expectations, cash flow expectations, and competitive position in both notebook computers and new market initiatives. Synaptics cautions that these statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected by the forward-looking statements contained herein. Such factors include, but are not limited to (a) market demand for Synaptics' products, (b) market demand for OEMs' products using Synaptics' products, © the failure of Synaptics' products and OEMs' products to deliver commercially acceptable performance, and (d) other risks as identified from time to time in Synaptics' SEC reports, including Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and the Company's 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.

Synaptics discloses pro forma or non-GAAP measures of net income and earnings per share. Synaptics believes that this pro forma information provides greater comparability regarding its ongoing operating performance. These measures should not be considered an alternative to measurements required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), such as net income and earnings per share. These pro forma measures are unlikely to be comparable to pro forma information provided by other companies. In accordance with SEC regulations, reconciliation of the Synaptics U.S. GAAP information to the pro forma information is provided in the table attached. We will also make available on the investor relations page of our web site at www.synaptics.com this press release, a replay of the Webcast, and a reconciliation of the difference between the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures.
