Microsemi Reports First Quarter 2018 Results
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Jan. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, today reported unaudited results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2018 ended Dec. 31, 2017.
Net sales for Microsemi's first quarter of fiscal year 2018 were $468.7 million, up 7.6 percent from the $435.5 million reported in the first quarter of 2017.
GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of 2018 was 61.6 percent, inclusive of the effect of non-cash purchase accounting charges related to profit from acquired inventory of $5.2 million and $2.4 million in inventory charges related to the closure of a non-strategic operation. GAAP gross margin was 63.5 percent in the first quarter of 2017 and 64.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Non-GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of 2018 was 63.2 percent, inclusive of the high-performance timing business of Vectron International, which Microsemi acquired in November 2017. Non-GAAP gross margin was 63.5 percent in the first quarter of 2017 and 64.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2017.
GAAP operating income and net income for the first quarter of 2018 were $59.5 million and $47.9 million, respectively, and included restructuring, facility closure and other related charges of $6.4 million and acquisition-related costs of $1.4 million. Also included in net income were amortization of intangible assets of $50.3 million, stock-based compensation of $25.6 million, and debt extinguishment and other non-cash financing charges of $4.3 million. GAAP operating margin for the first quarter of 2018 was 12.7 percent compared to 12.8 percent for the first quarter of 2017 and 15.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2017. GAAP net income was $47.9 million or $0.40 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2018 compared to $19.5 million or $0.17 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2017.
Non-GAAP operating income for the first quarter of 2018 was $150.8 million, up 13.6 percent from the $132.7 million reported in the first quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP operating margin for the first quarter of 2018 was 32.2 percent, up 170 basis points from 30.5 percent in the first quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2018 was $120.1 million or $1.01 per diluted share compared to $99.8 million or $0.86 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2017.
Operating and free cash flows for the first quarter of 2018 were at $65.3 million and $55.4 million, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter of 2018 were $166.6 million.
"We kicked off the first quarter of fiscal 2018 with 8 percent year-over-year sales growth and 17 percent EPS growth," said James J. Peterson, Microsemi's chairman and CEO. "We are on a clear path to exceed our long-term 35 percent operating margin target as we leverage customer engagements, share gains and revenue growth into industry-leading profitability."
Business Outlook
Microsemi currently expects net sales in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 of between $477 million and $502 million, and expects non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of between $0.93 and $1.07.
Guidance on diluted earnings per share is provided only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of certain items that have been excluded from the forward-looking non-GAAP measures, and a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP guidance has not been provided because certain factors that are materially significant to Microsemi's ability to estimate the excluded items are not accessible or estimable on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort.
Microsemi regularly announces a quarterly outlook in the form of issuing a news release and does not undertake to update any of this information between such public announcements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. Please refer to the "SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT below for risks that may affect future actual results.

Notes on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), this press release and its attachments include non-GAAP financial measures which are adjusted for the items listed in the footnotes below. Management reports the following non-GAAP financial measures:
-- non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin;
-- non-GAAP operating income and operating margin;
-- non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share; and
-- free cash flow.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP; therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies' financial information and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes it is useful to provide these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to comparable GAAP financial measures as we believe they enhance an investor's overall understanding of our financial performance and future prospects by being more reflective of our core operational activities and more comparable with our results over various periods. By disclosing non-GAAP financial measures, management intends to provide investors with an alternate measure to evaluate and compare Microsemi's operating results and trends for the periods presented. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance. The items reconciling non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures and additional comments and the usefulness of each item are set forth below:
(1) Manufacturing profit in acquired
inventory results from purchase
accounting entries to increase the
value of inventory acquired to its
fair value. As the acquired
inventory is sold, the associated
manufacturing profit in acquired
inventory increases cost of goods
sold and reduces gross profit.
Management believes it is useful to
exclude manufacturing profit in
acquired inventory as it does not
reflect continuing operations of
acquired entities and to facilitate
comparability of gross profit
between periods. In addition,
management excludes the impact of
manufacturing profit in acquired
inventory in internal measurements
of gross profit.
In Microsemi's effort to streamline
our product lines and strategic
focus, as well as integrate product
lines from acquisitions, we have
periodically exited or deemphasized
several areas which has improved
operating expense from various cost
reductions. We periodically
evaluate the profitability of our
various offerings. Should the
actual or expected profitability
fall below an acceptable threshold,
we may decide to stop offering a
product, in part to reallocate
manufacturing, operations,
engineering, sales and support
resources to products we expect to
generate greater returns. We
believe that for many of these
products, market dynamics dictate
that price is the primary
differentiator rather than our
value-added core competencies of
power, reliability, security and
performance.
Restructuring, severance, facilities
and other special charges consist
of severance and other costs
related to the consolidation of
operations, strategic
discontinuation of products and
closure of facilities.
Related to the streamlining of our
operations, we have recorded both
charges and gains related to
facility consolidation and
equipment on both leased and owned
properties and engineering
equipment for development projects
we are no longer pursuing.
Facilities consisted of
manufacturing sites, as well as
sales, engineering and
administrative space.
As the operations and products
referred to above are not expected
to have a continuing contribution
to operations or they are expected
to have a diminishing contribution
during the transition phase,
management believes excluding such
items from Microsemi's operations
is useful to investors as it
provides a means of evaluating
Microsemi's on-going operations.
Management believes that utilizing
non-GAAP financial measures that
exclude these items is useful in
providing an alternate measure to
evaluate core operating activities
and management excludes these items
in its evaluation of operations and
for strategic decision making,
forecasting future results and
evaluating current performance.
(2) Amortization of acquisition related
intangible assets is excluded from
internal analysis of Microsemi's
operations and management does not
view this non-cash expense as
reflective of the business' current
performance. Management believes
that utilizing non-GAAP financial
measures that exclude this non-
cash item is useful in providing an
alternate measure that excludes the
variability caused by purchase
accounting factors.
(3) Stock based compensation is excluded
by management when evaluating
operating activities and for
strategic decision making,
forecasting future results and
evaluating current performance.
Management believes that utilizing
non-GAAP financial measures that
exclude this non-cash item is
useful in providing an alternate
measure that excludes the
variability caused by different
methodologies and subjective
assumptions used in the valuation
of equity awards across different
companies.
(4) In accordance with business
combination and other relevant
accounting guidance, we expense
acquisition and divestiture costs
as incurred and recognize gains on
divestitures upon consummation of
the transaction. During the first
quarter of 2017, we reduced the
$125.5 million gain recognized from
our third quarter 2016 divestitures
by $1.2 million. Management
excludes these expenses and gains
when evaluating operating
activities and for strategic
decision making, forecasting future
results and evaluating current
performance. Management believes
that utilizing non-GAAP financial
measures that exclude this item is
useful in providing an alternate
measure that excludes the
variability caused by purchase
accounting factors.
(5) Credit facility issuance and debt
extinguishment costs have been
excluded as they are discrete
charges we incurred to issue our
credit facility. Management
excludes these expenses from
internal measurements of credit
facility interest rates and in
evaluating current performance.
Management believes that utilizing
non-GAAP financial measures that
exclude these items is useful in
providing an alternate measure that
is reflective of the ongoing
characteristics of the amended
credit facility.
(6) These amounts represent the foreign
exchange effect on non-current
foreign tax liabilities recorded
for possible assessments by tax
authorities. Changes in foreign
exchange rates are a non-cash
impact to these liabilities that
management excludes from internal
measurements and from forecasting
future results and are not viewed
by management as being reflective
of the business' ongoing tax
position.
(7) The tax effect of non-GAAP
adjustments represents the
difference in the provision for
income taxes that resulted from
non-GAAP adjustments to pretax
income and also certain acquisition
related and nondeductible stock
based compensation items, and non-
cash valuation allowance charges
and releases related to deferred
tax assets. These amounts are
excluded as non-GAAP adjustments
as the restructuring activities and
acquisitions are not viewed by
management as being reflective of
the business' ongoing tax position.
(8) Free cash flow is a non-GAAP
financial measure defined as
operating cash flow less cash paid
for capital expenditures. We
consider free cash flow to be a
liquidity measure which provides
useful information to management
and investors about the amount of
cash generated by the business
after our capital expenditures,
which can then be used for
strategic opportunities including,
among others, investing in
Microsemi's business, making
strategic acquisitions, reducing
debt principal and strengthening
the balance sheet. Management uses
free cash flow as a supplemental
measure to the net change in cash
and cash equivalents as presented
in Microsemi's consolidated
statements of cash flows prepared
in accordance with GAAP which
incorporates all cash movements
during the period.
