[ Back ] [ More News ] [ Home ]

Revenues were $106.3 million; GAAP earnings were $0.12 per diluted share; non-GAAP earnings were $0.25 per diluted share

SAN JOSE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 4, 2023 — Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Net revenues for the first quarter were $106.3 million, down 15 percent compared to the prior quarter and down 42 percent from the first quarter of 2022. Net income for the first quarter was $6.9 million or $0.12 per diluted share compared to $0.40 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $0.77 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2022. Cash flow from operations for the first quarter was $16.6 million.

In addition to its GAAP results, the company provided certain non-GAAP measures that exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and the tax effects of these items. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2023 was $14.2 million or $0.25 per diluted share compared to $0.48 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $0.93 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2022. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results is included with the tables accompanying this press release.

Commented Balu Balakrishnan, president and CEO of Power Integrations: “First-quarter revenues were in line with our expectations, and sell-through exceeded sell-in by a wider-than-expected margin. The resulting reduction in distributor inventories combined with improved order trends indicates that while end-market demand remains subdued, our revenues have bottomed and a cyclical recovery is underway.

“Meanwhile, we continue to gain share in a variety of end-markets while making excellent progress on growth initiatives such as motor-drive, automotive and our proprietary gallium-nitride technology. In March we introduced our first 900-volt GaN products, bringing the benefits of GaN to a wider range of industrial and appliance applications. The new 900-volt products include our first GaN-based ICs for the EV market, where the efficiency and size benefits of GaN are critical as carmakers power more systems from the main battery.”

Power Integrations paid a dividend of $0.19 per share on March 31, 2023. A dividend of $0.19 per share is to be paid on June 30, 2023, to stockholders of record as of May 31, 2023.

Financial Outlook

The company issued the following forecast for the second quarter of 2023:

Revenues are expected to be $122 million plus or minus $5 million.
GAAP gross margin is expected to be approximately 51.5 percent, and non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be approximately 52 percent. The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins is approximately equally attributable to stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.
GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $52.5 million; non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $44.5 million. Non-GAAP expenses are expected to exclude about $8 million of stock-based compensation.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the company's consolidated financial statements, which are presented according to GAAP, the company provides certain non-GAAP financial information that excludes stock-based compensation expenses recorded under ASC 718-10, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and the tax effects of these items. The company uses these measures in its financial and operational decision-making and, with respect to one measure, in setting performance targets for compensation purposes. The company believes that these non-GAAP measures offer important analytical tools to help investors understand its operating results, and to facilitate comparability with the results of companies that provide similar measures. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial information. For example, stock-based compensation is an important component of the company’s compensation mix and will continue to result in significant expenses in the company’s GAAP results for the foreseeable future but is not reflected in the non-GAAP measures. Also, other companies, including companies in Power Integrations’ industry, may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures are attached to this press release.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The above statements regarding the company’s forecast for its second-quarter financial performance, that revenues have bottomed and that a recovery is underway are forward-looking statements reflecting management's current expectations and beliefs. These statements are based on current information that is, by its nature, subject to rapid and even abrupt change. Due to risks and uncertainties associated with the company's business, actual results could differ materially from those projected or implied by these statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on demand for the company’s products, its ability to supply products and its ability to conduct other aspects of its business such as competing for new design wins; changes in global economic and geopolitical conditions, including such factors as inflation, armed conflicts and trade negotiations, which may impact the level of demand for the company’s products; potential changes and shifts in customer demand away from end products that utilize the company's integrated circuits to end products that do not incorporate the company's products; the effects of competition, which may cause the company’s revenues to decrease or cause the company to decrease its selling prices for its products; unforeseen costs and expenses; and unfavorable fluctuations in component costs or operating expenses resulting from changes in commodity prices and/or exchange rates. In addition, new product introductions and design wins are subject to the risks and uncertainties that typically accompany development and delivery of complex technologies to the marketplace, including product development delays and defects and market acceptance of the new products. These and other risk factors that may cause actual results to differ are more fully explained under the caption “Risk Factors” in the company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 7, 2023. The company is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any obligation) to update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
