10/27/2016

Quarterly revenues surpassed $100 million for the first time, growing 17 percent year-over-year to $103.8 million

GAAP earnings were $0.48 per diluted share; non-GAAP earnings were $0.72 per diluted share; cash flow from operations was $26.3 million

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Power Integrations (Nasdaq:POWI) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Net revenues for the third quarter were $103.8 million, an increase of seven percent from the prior quarter, and up 17 percent compared to the third quarter of 2015. Net income was $14.2 million or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $0.38 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $0.39 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2015. Cash flow from operations was $26.3 million.

In addition to its GAAP results, the company provided certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, other acquisition-related expenses, and the tax effects of these items. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter was $21.2 million or $0.72 per diluted share, compared with $0.60 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $0.55 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2015.

Commented Balu Balakrishnan, president and CEO of Power Integrations: “Our quarterly revenues grew 17 percent year-over-year, surpassing $100 million for the first time. We believe we are on track for double-digit revenue growth in 2016, and we expect to carry strong momentum into 2017 on the strength of the InnoSwitch™ product cycle, new products for the high-power and lighting markets, and a robust product pipeline that will further expand our addressable market in the years ahead.”

Additional Highlights

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 write-up of acquired inventory, acquisition expenses, severance and transition expenses, amortization of in-place lease intangible assets, and the tax effects of these items. The company uses these measures in its own financial and operational decision-making and, with respect to one measure, in setting performance targets for employee-compensation purposes. Further, the company believes that these non-GAAP measures offer an important analytical tool to help investors understand the company’s core operating results and trends, and to facilitate comparability with the operating results of other companies that provide similar measures. These non-GAAP measures have certain 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.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The statements in this press release regarding the company’s forecast for its fourth-quarter financial performance, the company’s belief that it is on track for double-digit revenue growth in 2016, and that it expects to carry strong momentum into 2017 on the strength of the InnoSwitch™ product cycle, new products for the high-power and lighting markets, and a robust product pipeline that will further expand its addressable market in the years ahead are forward-looking statements reflecting management's current expectations and beliefs. These forward-looking 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: changes in global macroeconomic conditions, 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 to decrease its selling prices for its products; the outcome and cost of patent litigation, which may affect sales of the company’s products or could result in higher expenses and charges than currently expected; 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 11, 2016. The company is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any obligation) to update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by the rules and regulations of the SEC.
