“We are enthusiastic about growth prospects for IXYS in the coming year, as we are seeing more sales activity across geographies and markets. We are also pleased by the sustainability of our gross margins, which further validates our earlier decision to focus on higher margin product sales. In conjunction with sales, IXYS is equally committed to lowering operating expenses. We continue to focus on this two-pronged effort to further increase profitability,” said Mr. Uzi Sasson, President and Chief Financial Officer of IXYS. “Healthier macroeconomic conditions, and concurrent customer purchasing visibility, may be on the horizon. In this tenuously optimistic market, we expect revenues in the June 2016 quarter to increase slightly from the March 2016 results.”
Non-GAAP Information
Included above and within the attached schedules are certain non-GAAP financial figures. During the quarter and year ended March 31, 2016, the company incurred non-cash charges, including those associated with amortization of intangible assets and stock compensation. Adjusting the net income in the March 31, 2016 quarter and year to exclude the impact of amortization of intangible assets and stock compensation expenses and the applicable tax at the effective tax rate for the respective periods, results in a financial presentation for the company without the effect of these non-cash charges. Similarly, adjusted EBITDA for the March 31, 2016 quarter and year 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.
