IXYS Corporation Reports Results for the June 2016 Quarter

IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:IXYS), an international power semiconductor and IC company, today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Net revenues for the quarter were $80.6 million versus $82.0 million in net revenues for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Sequentially, June 2016 quarter net revenues were up $866,000 from $79.8 million in the March 2016 quarter. This marks the second consecutive quarter that revenues increased.

“We are pleased that IXYS has achieved strong revenues, despite general industry softness. We anticipate the continuation of this growth trend, as IXYS’ current product portfolio augmented with new technologies is likely to be competitive in the months ahead,” commented Dr. Nathan Zommer, CEO and Founder of IXYS. “We are reaching new customers in evolving fields like IoT, electric vehicles and alternative energy, while remaining focused on the demands of our core customer base in industrial, telecom and medical applications. When global markets return to normal levels, we expect these initiatives will further enhance sales.”

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $3.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, which was the same as the net income of $3.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the June 2015 quarter.

June 2016 quarter non-GAAP net income, which excludes the impact of charges for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock compensation, was $4.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, as compared to the non-GAAP net income of $5.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $24.0 million, or 29.8% of net revenues, as compared to gross profit of $25.6 million, or 31.2% of net revenues, for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.

Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock-based compensation expense, was $9.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $151.4 million at June 30, 2016, after generating $7.5 million in cash from operations during the quarter. The company declared a $0.04 per share dividend, highlighting the fifteenth consecutive quarter of dividends.

“We are optimistic about our growth prospects as IXYS’ financial metrics, including bookings and backlog, look promising. However, we must consider ongoing volatile macroeconomic conditions and the cyclical slowdown in the summer months,” said Mr. Uzi Sasson, President and Chief Financial Officer of IXYS. “Despite these adverse factors, we expect revenues in the September 2016 quarter to increase slightly from the June 2016 quarter.”

Non-GAAP Information

Included above and within the attached schedules are certain non-GAAP financial figures. During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the company incurred non-cash charges, including those associated with amortization of intangible assets and stock compensation. Adjusting the net income in the June 30, 2016 quarter to exclude the impact of amortization of intangible assets and stock compensation expenses and the applicable tax at the effective tax rate for the period, results in a financial presentation for the company without the effect of these non-cash charges. Similarly, adjusted EBITDA for the June 30, 2016 quarter reflects the exclusion of depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expenses, as well as interest and taxes, and may serve as an indication of the company’s ability to service its debt. Management believes non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share and adjusted EBITDA are useful measures of operating performance. However, the non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net income and net income per share or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share and adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
