Synaptics Reports Record Second Quarter Results Revenue Grows 48%
and Net Income More than Doubles from the Immediately Preceding
Quarter SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Synaptics (NASDAQ: SYNA), a leader in interface solutions for
mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today
reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended
December 31, 2004. Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal
2005 was $56.5 million, an increase of approximately 65% over the
$34.3 million of net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2004.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $9.7 million,
or $0.33 per diluted share. This represents an increase of
approximately 178% compared with net income of $3.5 million, or
$0.13 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2004. "We
had a tremendous quarter and achieved our third consecutive quarter
of record revenue and earnings," stated Francis Lee, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Synaptics. "Our results reflect robust
demand for portable digital music players during the holiday season
as revenue outside of the PC market grew sharply to 43% of total
revenue compared with 33% in the immediately preceding quarter. Our
performance in the notebook segment was also better than
anticipated, as total PC revenue grew 26% sequentially, including
contributions from our desktop and peripherals initiatives." Russ
Knittel, Synaptics' Chief Financial Officer, added, "We are
entering the March quarter with a very strong backlog of
approximately $35 million and, based on current indicators, are
projecting revenue in the third fiscal quarter to be approximately
flat compared to the December quarter. This projection is based on
expected seasonal declines in the notebook sector, offset by
continued robust demand for portable music players. We expect
revenue in the June quarter to be up sequentially from March
quarter levels based on our current visibility and typical consumer
patterns. Fiscal 2005 is shaping up to be an outstanding year based
on our record first half performance and current outlook for the
second half of the year." Earnings Call Information The Synaptics
