Cypress Reports First Quarter 2019 Results

SAN JOSE, Calif.--()--Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: CY), today announced its first quarter 2019 results with the following highlights:

  • $539.0 million in revenue, in line with guidance
  • GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins were 37.6% and 47.4%, respectively, and represent a 110 bps and 150 bps increase year-over-year
  • GAAP and Non-GAAP diluted EPS were $0.05 and $0.27, respectively, above the high-end of guidance
  • Closed the NAND JV to exit the business and increase focus on high-growth IoT and automotive end markets

"We delivered a solid first quarter with revenue, gross margin, and diluted EPS meeting or exceeding our guidance," said Hassane El-Khoury, Cypress’ president and chief executive officer. "Despite uncertain market conditions, Cypress’ world-class connect and compute solutions continue to gain strong momentum. Overall design activity increased 15%, led by Automotive and IoT, and in particular we saw strength in automotive platform wins for our new Traveo-II MCU during the quarter. With our focus on these high-growth markets, we remain committed to our Cypress 3.0 strategy while continuing to execute to our long-term financial model."

Revenue and earnings for the quarter are shown below with comparable periods:

SECOND QUARTER 2019 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK (1)

For the second quarter of 2019, Cypress estimates financial results as follows:

         
    GAAP   Non-GAAP
Revenue (2)   $515 million to $545 million
Gross Margin   37.0% - 37.5%   47.0% - 47.5%
Diluted EPS (3)   $(0.03) to $0.01   $0.22 to $0.26
   
1.   Our Q2 2019 outlook reflects our divestiture of the NAND flash business, which closed on April 1, 2019.
2. For comparison purposes, Q1 2019 revenue would have been $507.9 million excluding the $31.1 million of revenue from the divested NAND flash business, and Q2 2018 revenue would have been $574.6 million excluding the $49.5 million of revenue from the divested NAND flash business.
3. Our share of the NAND joint venture’s Q2 2019 income or loss will be recognized in our Statement of Operations within the line item "Share in net income (loss) of equity method investments." Our expected share of such income is included in our EPS outlook on a GAAP basis but is excluded from our EPS outlook on a non-GAAP basis.
 

A reconciliation of GAAP forward-looking estimates to non-GAAP forward-looking estimates is included in the Non-GAAP Reconciliation Tables at the end of this earnings report.

The timing and amount of certain material items, including restructuring charges, asset impairments, changes in value of deferred compensation assets and liabilities, impact of stock-based compensation from modification of equity awards, the tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments, and share in net income (loss) of equity method investments, which are needed to estimate forward-looking GAAP financial measures, are either inherently unpredictable or outside the control of the Company, and may have a significant impact on the Company’s financial results.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement its condensed consolidated unaudited financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Cypress uses the non-GAAP financial measures listed below, which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to exclude certain items, as described in more detail below.

  • Non-GAAP gross profit;
  • Non-GAAP gross margin;
  • Non-GAAP cost of revenues;
  • Non-GAAP interest and other expense, net;
  • Non-GAAP research and development expenses;
  • Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses;
  • Adjusted EBITDA;
  • Non-GAAP income tax provision (benefit);
  • Non-GAAP pre-tax profit;
  • Non-GAAP pre-tax profit margin;
  • Non-GAAP operating income (loss);
  • Non-GAAP operating margin;
  • Non-GAAP net income (loss);
  • Non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share; and
  • Free cash flow.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional and useful way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations which, when viewed in conjunction with Cypress' GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the various factors and trends affecting the Company's business and operations.

The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures because management uses these measures to analyze and assess the Company's financial results and to manage the business.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures, including those discussed below. Moreover, the Company’s non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently than the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures supplement and should be viewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures.

As presented in the Non-GAAP Reconciliation Tables in this press release, each of the non-GAAP financial measures (other than free cash flow) excludes one or more of the following items:

Acquisition-related charges: Acquisition-related charges are not factored into management's evaluation of Cypress' long-term performance after the completion of acquisitions. However, a limitation of non-GAAP measures that exclude acquisition-related charges is that these charges may represent payments that reduce the cash available to the Company for other purposes. Acquisition-related expenses primarily include:

  • Amortization of purchased intangibles, including purchased technology, patents, customer relationships, trademarks, backlog and non-compete agreements;
  • Amortization of step-up in value of inventory recorded as part of purchase price accounting; and
  • One-time charges associated with the completion of an acquisition including items such as contract termination costs, severance and other acquisition-related restructuring costs; costs incurred in connection with integration activities; and legal and accounting costs.

Stock-based compensation expense: Stock-based compensation expense relates primarily to employee stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and the employee stock purchase plan. Stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense that is affected by changes in market factors including the price of Cypress’ common shares, which are not within the control of management. In addition, the valuation of stock-based compensation is subjective, and the expense recognized by Cypress may be significantly different than the expense recognized by other companies for similar equity awards, which makes it difficult to assess Cypress’ results compared to its competitors. Accordingly, management excludes this item from its internal operating forecasts and models. However, a limitation of non-GAAP measures that exclude stock-based compensation expense is that they do not reflect the full costs of compensating employees.

Other adjustments: Other items are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because management does not consider them to be related to the core operating activities and ongoing operating performance of Cypress. Excluding these items, which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter, allows management to better compare Cypress’ period-over-period performance. However, limitations of non-GAAP measures that exclude these items include that these adjustments are often subjective and such non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Other adjustments primarily include:

  • Changes in value of deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities,
  • Investment-related gains or losses, including equity method investments,
  • Restructuring and related costs,
  • Loss on extinguishment of debt,
  • Amortization of debt issuance costs, discounts and imputed interest related to the equity component of convertible debt,
  • Asset impairments,
  • Tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments,
  • Income tax adjustment related to the use of the net operating loss, non-cash impact of not asserting indefinite reinvestment on earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, deferred tax expense not affecting taxes payable (i.e. release of valuation allowance), and non-cash expense (benefit) related to uncertain tax positions,
  • Certain other expenses and benefits, and
  • Diluted weighted average shares non-GAAP adjustment - for purposes of calculating non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, the GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding is adjusted to include the impact of non-GAAP adjustments on the number of diluted shares underlying stock-based compensation awards and the impact of the capped call transactions related to the convertible notes.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net income (loss) attributable to Cypress to exclude (without duplication): interest expense, income tax provision, depreciation, amortization, equity in net loss of equity method investees, and the non-GAAP adjustments described above (acquisition related charges, stock-based compensation expense, and other adjustments). Commencing in the second quarter of 2018, Cypress reconciles adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income rather than operating income; prior period reconciliation tables have been revised to conform to the current presentation. Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information because the exclusion of certain gains, losses, and expenses facilitates comparisons of Cypress' operating performance on a period to period basis. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business. In addition, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to net income attributable to Cypress, operating income, or diluted earnings per share, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less acquisition of property, plant and equipment, net (i.e., acquisition of property, plant and equipment less proceeds received from disposition of property, plant and equipment). We consider free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by business operations, after deducting our net payments for acquisitions and dispositions of property and equipment, which cash can then be used for strategic opportunities or other business purposes including, among others, investing in the Company's business, repurchasing stock, making strategic acquisitions, repayment of debt, and strengthening the balance sheet. A limitation of free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period. Management compensates for this limitation by also relying on the net increase in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows prepared in accordance with GAAP which incorporates all cash movements during the period.
