EX-99.1 2 e19334ex99_1.txt PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.1 Pericom Semiconductor Reports Fiscal First Quarter Results SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: PSEM) today announced results for its fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2004. Results include the acquired operations of SaRonix LLC since October 1, 2003. Net revenues for the first quarter were $19,786,000, down 1.2% from $20,029,000 in the preceding quarter and are up 78.7% from $11,072,000 in the comparable period last year. GAAP net income for the quarter was $151,000, or $0.01 per share (diluted), compared to GAAP net income of $661,000, or $0.02 per share (diluted), in the preceding quarter and versus a GAAP net loss of $800,000, or ($0.03) per share, in the comparable period a year ago. Our GAAP financial results include non-recurring charges which are explained in the reconciliation of pro forma and GAAP financial results that appears in the financial statements portion of this release. Pro forma results are not meant as a substitute for GAAP, but are included solely for informational and comparative purposes. Pericom management believes pro forma financial information is useful to investors because it illuminates underlying operational trends by excluding significant non-recurring or otherwise unusual transactions. Our criteria for determining pro forma results may differ from other companies methods, and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. Net income in the quarter ended September 30, 2004 was $151,000, or $0.01 per share (diluted), compared with pro forma net income of $346,000, or $0.01 per share (diluted), in the preceding quarter and a net loss of $800,000, or ($0.03) per share, in the comparable period a year ago. No pro forma adjustments have been made to the results for the quarters ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003. For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, pro forma net income reflects an income tax benefit adjustment. Alex Hui, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pericom, said, "We were pleased to deliver net revenues very close to our guidance for the quarter. Our migration to an improving mix of our focus products continued -- these products now represent almost 53% of our net IC revenues. Our gross margin declined slightly from the preceding quarter but improved 620 basis points over the comparable prior year quarter. We are also pleased to have remained profitable for the second consecutive quarter. Despite near-term uncertainty, we will continue to execute our product and end-market strategies which have yielded good revenue, margin and profitability growth over the past year. We plan to continue to increase the mix of our higher margin focus products and increase our penetration in new markets such as cell phones and digital video media. As stability returns to end markets and channel inventories are balanced, we expect to continue to build upon our improved financial performance." NEW PRODUCTS The Company introduced 14 higher margin IC focus products during the quarter that support a variety of key market segments including Desktop and Notebook PC, Video, Memory Modules, Networking, Telecom, Storage, and Industrial Systems. SiliconClock: * Launched three new 3.3V, 1:4 LVPECL Clock Buffers/Converters used in higher end networking switches and routers. * Delivered our new 1.8V 1:10 PLL Clock Driver for DDR2 Registered DIMM's. * Launched two new 3.3V Clock Generator's for Intel PCI-Express Chipsets. These Intel defined products are used in the majority of Desktop and Notebook PCs around the world. SiliconConnect: * Expanded the 64-bit PCI Bridge product line by introducing Asynchronous and higher performance versions along with a unique 80MHz device. * Also released the smallest known packaging for a 32-bit PCI Bridge in the industry. These products are offered in both Asynchronous and Synchronous modes. SiliconSwitch: * Expanded the successful ASSP Video Switch product line by starting to sample 3-port and 5-port Low On-Resistance, 3.3V High-Bandwidth 4:1 Mux/DeMux Video Switches. Frequency Control Products: * Extended the available frequency range of our miniature quartz-based clock products to 125MHz, encompassing a much broader range of networking and computing applications. DECEMBER 2004 QUARTER OUTLOOK The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward looking, and actual results may differ materially. * With current visibility we expect revenues to be flat to down 5% depending on the strength of turns orders. * Gross margin is expected to be in the 35-37% range, but this continues to be highly dependent on product mix and overhead absorption. * Operating expenses are expected to increase slightly from last quarter. * Other income is expected to be approximately $0.8 million. Pericom will adhere to Regulation Fair Disclosure. The Company will provide its investors and analysts with guidance in the areas of total revenues, gross margin, operating expenses and other income each quarter in our earnings releases and in our conference calls. We will not provide further guidance or updates during the quarter unless we do so via a press release.
