Cypress Reports Second Quarter 2017 Results

SAN JOSE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 27, 2017 — Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: CY) today announced its second quarter 2017 results.

“Cypress set another revenue record in the second quarter, supported by record revenue in each of our three key growth vectors: automotive, IoT wireless connectivity and USB-C,” said Hassane El-Khoury, Cypress president and chief executive officer. “We remain laser-focused on driving revenue and earnings growth by investing in high-growth end-markets, expanding gross margins and broadening our customer base.

“It’s now been a year since we embarked upon our Cypress 3.0 strategy, focused on selling embedded solutions into markets that are growing faster than the overall semiconductor industry,” El-Khoury continued. “Our team has continued its strong execution of this strategy. It has been well-received by our customers, partners and employees, and it has begun to generate consistent growth in our top and bottom lines. This is a very exciting time for Cypress.”

Revenue and earnings for the quarter are given below, compared with those of the prior quarter:

BUSINESS REVIEW

+ At the Computex trade show in Taipei, Cypress announced additions to its USB-C and Internet of Things (IoT) wireless connectivity portfolios. Cypress’ new, highly integrated EZ-PD™ CCG3PA USB-C controller is optimized to streamline the design of power adapters, mobile chargers, car chargers and power banks. Cypress also demonstrated EZ-PD CCG5, the industry’s first two-port USB-C controller that supports designs with Intel’s Thunderbolt™ 3, earmarked to support the ramp of USB-C in notebook and desktop PCs, as well as docking stations. Cypress introduced the new CYW4373 combo solution that delivers advanced wireless coexistence combining 802.11ac high-performance Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth® and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and it incorporates a USB 2.0 hub. The solution is ideal for smart home products and network peripherals such as home appliances and printers, and it is supported in Cypress’ easy-to-use WICED® Studio IoT development platform.

+ GAAP and non-GAAP margins for the second quarter of 2017 were 39.8% and 40.9%, respectively, above the midpoint of guidance and in line with the Company's margin-enhancing initiatives.

+ Cypress paid a cash dividend of $36.3 million, or $0.11 per share, to holders of record of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on June 29, 2017. The dividend was equivalent to a 3.2% annualized yield as of June 30, 2017. This dividend was paid on July 20, 2017.

THIRD QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

For the third quarter of 2017, Cypress estimates financial results as follows:

             
      GAAP     Non-GAAP
Revenue     $585 million to $615 million
Margin %     40.0% - 41.0%     41.0% - 42.0%
Diluted EPS     $(0.05) to $(0.00)     $0.21 to $0.25
       

A reconciliation of GAAP forward-looking estimates to non-GAAP forward-looking estimates may be found in the tables at the end of this earnings report.

The timing and amount of certain material items, including restructuring charges, asset impairments, changes in value of deferred compensation assets and liabilities, impact of stock-based compensation from modification of equity awards, and the tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments, which are needed to estimate GAAP financial measures are either inherently unpredictable or outside the control of the Company, and may have a significant impact on the Company’s financial results. Accordingly, Cypress cannot provide a full quantitative reconciliation for such non-GAAP financial measures included as part of the third quarter 2017 financial outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort and additional adjustments may be reflected in our non-GAAP results for the third quarter of 2017. Cypress has qualitatively described below, under the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” the anticipated differences between the non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement its condensed consolidated unaudited financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Cypress uses the non-GAAP financial measures listed below, which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to exclude certain items, as described in more detail below.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional and useful way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations which, when viewed in conjunction with Cypress' GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the various factors and trends affecting the Company's business and operations.

The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures because management uses these measures to analyze and assess the Company's financial results and to manage the business.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures including those discussed below. Moreover, the Company’s non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently than the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures supplement and should be viewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures.

As presented in the "Non-GAAP Results" tables in this press release, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items:

Acquisition-related charges: Acquisition-related charges are not factored into management's evaluation of Cypress' long-term performance after the completion of acquisitions. However, a limitation of non-GAAP measures that exclude acquisition-related charges is that these charges may represent payments that reduce the cash available to the Company for other purposes. Acquisition-related expenses primarily include:

Share-based compensation expense: Share-based compensation expense relates primarily to employee stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and the employee stock purchase plan. Share-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense that is affected by changes in market factors including the price of Cypress’ common shares, which are not within the control of management. In addition, the valuation of share-based compensation is subjective, and the expense recognized by Cypress may be significantly different than the expense recognized by other companies for similar equity awards, which makes it difficult to assess Cypress’ results compared to its competitors. Accordingly, management excludes this item from its internal operating forecasts and models. However, a limitation of non-GAAP measures that exclude share-based compensation expense is that they do not reflect the full costs of compensating employees.

Other adjustments: These items are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not related to the core operating activities and ongoing operating performance of Cypress. Excluding these items, which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter, allows management to better compare Cypress’ period-over-period performance. However, limitations of non-GAAP measures that exclude these items include that these adjustments are often subjective and may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Other adjustments primarily include:
