SemiLEDs Reports Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Results

HSINCHU, Taiwan--()--SemiLEDs Corporation (NASDAQ: LEDS), “SemiLEDs” or the “Company,” a developer and manufacturer of LED chips and LED components, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, ended February 28, 2021.

Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was $1.2 million, compared to $719 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was $255 thousand, compared to a loss of $697 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, or a net loss of $0.06 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.17 per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. In the second quarter, we shut down our manufacturing production for two weeks due to the Chinese New Year holiday.

GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was 20%, compared with gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 of negative 3%. Operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was negative 42%, compared with negative 135% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $2.1 million at February 28, 2021, compared to $2.7 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

We are unable to forecast revenue for the third quarter ending May 31, 2021 at this time given the continuing uncertain impact of COVID-19 on the economy and the Company.
