Power Integrations Reports Third-Quarter Financial Results

Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Net revenues for the third quarter were $114.2 million, up 11 percent from the prior quarter and up four percent from the third quarter of 2018. Net income was $17.1 million or $0.57 per diluted share compared to $0.37 per share in the prior quarter and $0.59 in the third quarter of 2018. Cash flow from operations was $21.8 million for the third quarter.

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 third quarter of 2019 was $23.3 million or $0.78 per diluted share, compared with $0.56 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $0.77 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2018. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results appears at the end of this press release.

Additional Highlights

  • The company announced a settlement of its patent disputes with ON Semiconductor, ending all litigation between the companies. Power Integrations has received a payment of $175M from ON; neither company granted any licenses to the other. The company expects to recognize a gain in its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2019.
  • Power Integrations paid a dividend of $0.17 per share on September 30, 2019. The company’s board of directors has increased the quarterly dividend to $0.19 per share starting in the fourth quarter of 2019; the next dividend of $0.19 will be paid on December 31, 2019 to stockholders of record as of November 29, 2019.

Commented Balu Balakrishnan, president and CEO of Power Integrations: “We returned to year-over-year revenue growth in the third quarter driven by strength in our communications category, reflecting accelerated adoption of fast chargers for smartphones. Our InnoSwitch™ ICs, including our new higher-power devices with GaN switches, are winning in the market thanks to their industry-leading combination of efficiency and integration. Looking ahead, while trade issues and weaker macroeconomic conditions continue to weigh on demand, we expect strong year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter.”

Mr. Balakrishnan continued: “The settlement of our litigation with ON Semiconductor is a landmark win for our company, demonstrating the durability and the value of our intellectual property, as well as our determination to protect it from unlawful use by competitors.”

Financial Outlook

The company issued the following forecast (excluding the impact of the litigation settlement) for the fourth quarter of 2019:

  • Revenues are expected to be $114 million plus or minus $3 million.
  • GAAP gross margin is expected to be approximately 51.5 percent. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be approximately 52.5 percent. (The difference between the expected GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins is composed of approximately 0.7 percentage points from amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and 0.3 percentage points from stock-based compensation.)
  • GAAP operating expenses are expected to be between $42 million and $42.5 million; non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be between $36 million and $36.5 million. (Non-GAAP expenses are expected to exclude approximately $5.6 million of stock-based compensation and $0.4 million of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.)

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. 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 above statements regarding the company’s forecast for its fourth-quarter financial performance and an anticipated gain related to the litigation settlement 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, including changing tariffs and uncertainty regarding 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; 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 13, 2019. 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.
