Power Integrations Reports Second-Quarter Financial Results

Revenues increased 15 percent sequentially to $102.9 million

GAAP earnings were $0.37 per diluted share; non-GAAP earnings were $0.56 per diluted share

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 25, 2019--Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Net revenues for the second quarter were $102.9 million, up 15 percent from the prior quarter and down six percent from the second quarter of 2018. Net income was $10.8 million or $0.37 per diluted share compared to $0.25 per share in the prior quarter and $0.51 in the second quarter of 2018. Cash flow from operations was $19.4 million for the second 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 second quarter of 2019 was $16.7 million or $0.56 per diluted share, compared with $0.41 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $0.74 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2018.

Power Integrations paid a dividend of $0.17 per share on June 28, 2019. A dividend of $0.17 per share will be paid on September 30, 2019 to stockholders of record as of August 30, 2019.

Commented Balu Balakrishnan, president and CEO of Power Integrations: “We saw strong sequential revenue growth in the second quarter driven by new fast-charging designs for smartphones as well as growth in appliances and high-power gate drivers for renewable-energy and power-grid applications. While trade issues continue to be a source of uncertainty, we are encouraged by recent trends in bookings and distribution sell-through, and we expect a return to year-over-year growth in the third quarter.”

Financial Outlook

The company issued the following forecast for the third quarter of 2019:

Revenues are expected to be $114 million plus or minus $3 million.
GAAP gross margin is expected to be between 50.5 percent and 51 percent. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be between 51.5 percent and 52 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 $42.5 million and $43 million; non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be between $36.5 million and $37 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 third-quarter financial performance and expectations for a return to year-over-year growth in the third quarter 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.
