Power Integrations Reports Second-Quarter Financial Results

Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Net revenues for the second quarter were $109.5 million, an increase of six percent from the prior quarter and an increase of two percent from the second quarter of 2017. Net income for the quarter was $15.4 million or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.46 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $0.46 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2017. Cash flow from operations was $26.7 million for the quarter.

In addition to its GAAP results, the company provided certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and the tax effects of these items. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2018 was $22.2 million or $0.74 per diluted share, compared with $0.67 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $0.69 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2017.

Commented Balu Balakrishnan, president and CEO of Power Integrations: “Revenues and earnings increased significantly compared to the prior quarter, and we generated strong cash flow while returning nearly $35 million to stockholders. While some customers have begun to express caution in light of global trade issues, we expect third-quarter sequential revenue growth consistent with recent seasonality. Meanwhile, InnoSwitch™-3 products are winning designs across a broad range of applications, and the next phase of growth in rapid-charging applications is taking shape as USB PD technology approaches mass adoption.

“We also achieved an important operational milestone in the second quarter with the announcement of AEC-Q100 automotive certification for our SCALE-iDriver® gate-driver products. Electric-vehicle makers want safe, reliable power-conversion products for drivetrain, charging and other high-voltage applications in the car, and we are encouraged by the response of automotive customers.”

  • Power Integrations repurchased approximately 434,000 shares of its common stock during the second quarter, utilizing $30.1 million. The company had $11.0 million remaining on its repurchase authorization at quarter-end.
  • The company paid a dividend of $0.16 per share on June 29, 2018. A dividend of $0.16 per share is scheduled to be paid on September 28, 2018, to stockholders of record as of August 31, 2018.

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 (including in-place lease 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. These 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 statements in this press release regarding the company’s forecast for its third-quarter financial performance 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’s revenues to decrease or 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 14, 2018. 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.
