Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: CY), a leader in embedded solutions, today announced its fourth quarter and fiscal 2017 results with the following highlights:

  • Record fiscal 2017 revenue of $2.33 billion driven by automotive and IoT wireless business performance
  • Fourth quarter revenue was $597.5 million, a 12.7% year-over-year increase
  • Fourth quarter GAAP and non-GAAP margin were 44.6% and 45.4%, respectively, and represent a 650bps and 530bps increase year over year
  • Fourth quarter GAAP EPS and non-GAAP diluted EPS improved by 55% and 87% year over year, respectively
  • Fiscal 2017 cash from operations of $403.5 million increased 86% year over year.

“We had a record fiscal 2017 with strong business performance,” said Hassane El-Khoury, Cypress president and chief executive officer. “The Cypress 3.0 strategy we set in 2016 of focusing on the fast-growing automotive, industrial and consumer markets, fueled by the proliferation of IoT, contributed to strong revenue growth and earnings growing more than four times revenue in 2017. We have established Cypress as an embedded solutions leader for the IoT.

BUSINESS REVIEW

+ Cypress expanded its automotive infotainment solution portfolio with the introduction of two new products. The Company announced production availability of the industry’s first Real Simultaneous Dual Band (RSDB) automotive-grade Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® combo solution, which enables multiple users to connect and stream unique content to their devices simultaneously. In parallel, Cypress introduced a new automotive capacitive touchscreen controller family that delivers the market’s most advanced feature set for next-generation infotainment systems, including the capability to detect a finger up to 35 mm above the screen and provide accurate measurement of the pressure applied by multiple fingers.

+ At the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Cypress showed products based on its PSoC® 6 microcontroller (MCU), the industry's lowest power, most flexible dual-core MCU with built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless connectivity. PSoC 6 is targeted for a variety of smart home, wearables, smart speakers, audio and other IoT applications.

+ Cypress’ single-chip wireless MCU and combo solutions for the IoT are the world’s first to deliver certified Bluetooth mesh connectivity to a consumer product—SYLVANIA SMART+ Bluetooth lighting products from LEDVANCE. Cypress announced three of its wireless combo chips and the latest version of its WICED® software development kit support state-of-the-art Bluetooth connectivity with mesh networking capability. Cypress’ solutions enable a low-cost, low-power mesh network of devices that can communicate with each other—and with smartphones, tablets and voice-controlled home assistants—via simple, secure and ubiquitous Bluetooth connectivity.

+ Cypress paid a cash dividend of $38.7 million, or $0.11 per share, to holders of record of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on December 28, 2017. The dividend was equivalent to a 2.9% annualized yield as of December 28, 2017. This dividend was paid on January 18, 2018.

FIRST QUARTER 2018 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

For the first quarter of 2018, Cypress estimates financial results as follows:

      GAAP     Non-GAAP
Revenue     $565 million to $595 million
Margin %     43.0% to 44.0%     44.5% to 45.5%
Diluted EPS     $(0.03) to $0.01     $0.22 to $0.26
       

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 first quarter 2018 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 first quarter of 2018. 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.

CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCAST INFORMATION

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.

  • Revenue;
  • Margin;
  • Margin percent;
  • Research and development expenses;
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses;
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA");
  • Provision (benefit) for income taxes;
  • Pretax profit margin percent;
  • Operating income (loss);
  • Net income (loss); and
  • Diluted earnings (loss) per share.

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:

  • Amortization of purchased intangibles, including purchased technology, patents, customer relationships, trademarks, backlog and non-compete agreements;
  • Amortization of step-up in value of inventory recorded as part of purchase price accounting; and
  • One-time charges associated with the completion of an acquisition including items such as contract termination costs, severance and other acquisition-related restructuring costs; costs incurred in connection with integration activities; and legal and accounting costs.

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.

EBITDA: Consolidated EBITDA is calculated by adding back depreciation to the Non-GAAP operating income. EBITDA may be useful to management, investors, and other users of our financial information because it, during a given period, is an indicator of the amount of cash generated that is available to repay debt obligations, make investments, and for certain other activities. However, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business. In addition, EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to net income, operating income, diluted earnings, or net cash provided by operating activities, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

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:

  • Revenue from an intellectual property license,
  • Changes in value of deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities,
  • Investment-related gains or losses, including equity method investments,
  • Restructuring and related costs,
  • Loss on extinguishment of debt,
  • Amortization of debt issuance costs, discounts and imputed interest related to the equity component of convertible debt,
  • Asset impairments,
  • Tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments,
  • Certain other expenses and benefits, and
  • Diluted weighted average shares non-GAAP adjustment - for purposes of calculating non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, the GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding is adjusted to exclude the benefits related to share-based compensation expense and includes the impact of the capped call transactions related to the convertible notes.
