Achieves Record Quarterly Net Sales of $80.5 million; up 8.2% sequentially
and 49.4% From Year Ago Quarter
Delivers Quarterly GAAP EPS of $0.10; Pro Forma Diluted EPS of $0.18
Pro Forma Gross Margin hits 38.4%
Announces Increased Investments and Acceleration of Wafer Capacity Plans in
Kunshan, China
WARREN, N.J., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ANADIGICS, Inc.
(Nasdaq: ANAD), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions in the
rapidly growing broadband wireless and wireline communications markets,
reported record second quarter 2008 net sales of $80.5 million, an increase
of 8.2% compared with net sales of $74.4 million in the prior quarter, and
an increase of 49.4% compared to net sales of $53.9 million in the year ago
quarter.
Net income was $6.0 million, or $0.10 per share, compared with $3.9
million, or $0.07 per share, in the prior quarter and net income of $1.9
million, or $0.03 per share, in the year ago quarter. Pro forma income for
the second quarter 2008, which excludes non-cash stock compensation
expense, discontinued operations and an impairment charge of $0.6 million
on the company's investment in auction rate securities, was $11.6 million,
or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with $9.2 million, or $0.15 per
diluted share, in the prior quarter and $5.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted
share, in the year ago quarter.
"Our second quarter 2008 results were driven by strong sequential
revenue growth in Broadband for both WiFi and CATV including initial
production shipments of our new digital tuner, FiOS and DOCSIS 3.0
products," said Dr. Bami Bastani, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"As we enter the third quarter 2008, Broadband will continue to have strong
momentum, which will partially offset an expected decline in Wireless as
certain of our customers have lowered their demand expectations and are
reducing inventory levels. However, we believe this to be temporary as
design-in activity has increased and therefore, are aggressively pursuing
our capacity expansion plans in China to meet future demand."
As of June 28, 2008 cash and short and long-term marketable securities
totaled $161.4 million compared with $166.5 million at March 29, 2008.
"Our reported second quarter 2008 financial results highlight the
Company's capability in achieving operating leverage in our business," said
Tom Shields, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "The
Company's balance sheet remains strong as we continue to invest in
sustaining business growth for the long-term."
The Company further reported that it will accelerate previous plans
announced on April 11, 2007 to expand wafer capacity in China. Such
accelerated plans include increasing the total investment in the build-out
of the 6" gallium arsenide integrated circuit wafer fabrication facility in
Kunshan, China from $49.88 million to approximately $100.0 million. Such
investments are expected to provide the completion of building construction
by October 2008 and expanded wafer capacity commencing with the third
quarter 2009. Additionally, the Company has initiated the immediate
recruiting of required resources and will incur certain operating costs
relative to the wafer fabrication facility in the third quarter 2008, which
are estimated at $1.0 million. The company expects to have the ability to
fund the China investments from internally generated operating cash flows
and cash on-hand. However, if advantageous, the Company will explore other
available and alternative means of financing.
Outlook for the Third Quarter 2008
Net sales for the third quarter 2008 are estimated to be in the range
of $75.0 million to $81.0 million. Net sales at this level would represent
an approximate 26% to 36% increase on a comparable basis with third quarter
2007. The low end of the net sales guidance reflects softness in industry
demand and inventory re-balancing that may occur in the third quarter 2008
from our Wireless customers. Net income per share on a GAAP basis for the
third quarter 2008 is expected to approximate $0.01 to $0.05. Pro forma
diluted earnings per share, excluding non-cash stock compensation expense,
are expected to be in the range of approximately $0.10 - $0.14. The net
income and pro forma diluted earnings per share are based on an estimated
diluted weighted average outstanding common share count of 62.7 million.
The statements regarding outlook are forward looking and actual results
may differ materially. Please see safe harbor statement at the end of the
press release.
This press release includes financial measures that are not in
accordance with GAAP, consisting of non-GAAP, or pro forma, net income or
loss and non-GAAP, or pro forma, income or loss per share. Management uses
non-GAAP net income or loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share to
evaluate the company's operating and financial performance in light of
business objectives, for planning purposes, when publicly providing our
business outlook and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. ANADIGICS
believes that these measures are useful to investors because they enhance
investors' ability to review the company's business from the same
perspective as the company's management and facilitate comparisons of this
period's results with prior periods. These non-GAAP measures exclude
charges related to stock-based compensation, an impairment of auction rate
securities and discontinued operations. Non-GAAP measures are used by some
investors when assessing the performance of our Company. These financial
measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP
methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Management
acknowledges that stock-based compensation is a recurring cost and is an
important part of our employee's compensation and impacts their
performance. However the expense is non-cash in nature and there are
various valuation methodologies and assumptions used in determining
stock-based compensation that may be unrelated to operations, such as
volatility and current interest rates. The presentation of the additional
information should not be considered a substitute for net income or loss or
income or loss per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Limitations of non-GAAP financial measures. The primary material
limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP measures as compared to the
most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are (i) they may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in
ANADIGICS industry, and (ii) they exclude financial information that some
may consider important in evaluating our performance. We compensate for
these limitations by providing reconciliations of reported net income or
loss and income or loss per share to non-GAAP net income or net loss and
non-GAAP income or loss per share, respectively, within this press release.
