M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. Reports Third Quarter of Fiscal 2012 Financial Results


LOWELL, Mass., Aug. 2, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:MTSI) ("M/A-COM Tech"), a leading supplier of high performance analog semiconductor solutions, today reported its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 ended June 29, 2012.

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2012 GAAP Results

  • Revenue was $77.1 million, compared to $77.5 million in the prior quarter;
  • Gross margin was 45.9 percent, compared to 47.2 percent in the prior quarter;
  • Operating margin was 20.0 percent, compared to 23.2 percent in the prior quarter;
  • Net income was $13.5 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($53.6) million, or ($8.02) per share in the prior quarter; and
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $77.6 million, with no debt outstanding as of June 29, 2012.

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2012 Non-GAAP Results

  • Gross margin was 46.8 percent, compared to 47.7 percent in the prior quarter;
  • Operating margin was 22.5 percent, compared to 23.0 percent in the prior quarter; and
  • Net income was $11.8 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to net income of $12.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share in the prior quarter;

Commenting on the results, Charles Bland, Chief Executive Officer of M/A-COM Tech, stated "We experienced lower than expected revenue and gross margin this quarter stemming in large part from soft customer demand in Asia and Europe. In particular, we saw an unanticipated decrease in the Aerospace & Defense market, specifically in demand for our products targeting air traffic control and weather radar applications. Our gross margin was negatively impacted in large part due to this unfavorable market and product mix, with lower than expected contribution of generally higher gross margin A&D product revenue. On a positive note, we recognized a quarter-over-quarter improvement in the Networks market from sales of our products for wireless backhaul, MoCA, and optical applications."

Mr. Bland concluded, "Although we were encouraged by the slight rebound in the Networks market, we currently expect the weaker demand environment and less favorable market and product mix we experienced in the third quarter to continue to impact our results in the coming quarter. While the current environment remains challenging, we are focused on achieving our long-term goals by ramping new products and furthering cost efficiencies."

Business Outlook

Based on the present and projected end-market demand environment for its products, M/A-COM Tech currently expects fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 revenue to range between $72.0 million and $77.0 million, non-GAAP gross margin between 44.0 percent and 46.0 percent and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share between $0.18 and $0.23, based on an expected 48.0 million shares outstanding.

Forward-looking statements include, among others, information concerning our stated business outlook and future results of operations, expected weaker demand environment and less favorable market and product mix and impact on our results in the coming quarter, our expectations as to achieving our long-term goals by ramping new products and furthering cost efficiencies, as well as any statements regarding future trends, business strategies, competitive position, industry conditions and market opportunities. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and generally may be identified by terms such as "anticipates," "believes," "could," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "may," "plans," "potential," "predicts," "projects," "seeks," "should," "will," "would" or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms.

Forward-looking statements contained in this press release reflect M/A-COM Tech's current views about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause those events or our actual activities or results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Although M/A-COM Tech believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot and does not guarantee future events, results, actions, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements, including, among others, the potential for continued weakness in our A&D market, lower than expected demand in any of our three primary markets or from any of our large OEM customers, lower than expected absorption in our manufacturing facilities, lack of success or slower than expected success in our new product development efforts, loss of business due to competitive factors, obsolescence, customer program shifts or otherwise, lower than anticipated or slower than expected customer acceptance of our new product introductions, the potential for a shift in the mix of products sold in any period toward lower-margin products or a shift in the geographical mix of our revenues, the impact of any acquisition, divestiture or restructuring activity, the impact of supply shortages or other disruptions in our internal or outsourced supply chain, the relative success of our cost-savings initiatives, the impact of any current or future litigation instituted by or against us, and the impact of any claims of intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, which could required us to pay substantial damages for infringement, expend significant resources in prosecuting or defending such matters or developing non-infringing technology, incur material liability for royalty or license payments, or prevent us from selling certain of our products, as well as those factors described in "Risk Factors" in M/A-COM Tech's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 30, 2012 as filed with the SEC on May 10, 2012. M/A-COM Tech undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to GAAP reporting, M/A-COM Tech provides investors with Non-GAAP financial reporting, including gross margin, operating margin, net income and other data calculated on a Non-GAAP basis. This Non-GAAP information excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, share-based and other non-cash compensation expense, restructuring charges, changes in the carrying values of liabilities measured at fair value, other non-cash expenses and certain income tax items. Management does not believe that the excluded items are reflective of M/A-COM Tech's underlying performance. The exclusion of these and other similar items from M/A-COM Tech's Non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual. M/A-COM Tech believes this Non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into M/A-COM Tech's on-going performance and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of M/A-COM Tech's on-going operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons. These Non-GAAP measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial data is included in the supplemental financial data attached to this press release.
