BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES These unaudited interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Atmel Corporation (Company or Atmel) and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Because all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles are not included, these interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1996. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and does not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The income statements for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any future period, nor for the entire year. 2. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out for materials and purchased parts and average cost for work in progress) or market.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of outstanding stock options. The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement No. 128 (SFAS 128), Earnings Per Share, which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. SFAS 128 simplifies the standards for computing EPS and makes them comparable to international standards. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. The Company is -4- 7 required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 128 in its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 1997 and is studying the impact of its implementation on the financial statements. 4. PUT WARRANTS In connection with the Company's stock repurchase program, put warrants were sold to an independent third party during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The put warrants entitle the holder to sell shares of Atmel common stock to the Company at specified prices. The Company received $2,088 from the sale of the put warrants. The warrants expire on May 1, 1998, are exercisable, at Atmel's option, at any time before maturity and may be settled in cash at Atmel's option. The maximum potential repurchase obligation of $16,200 has been reclassified from shareholders' equity to put warrants as of September 30, 1997. There was no impact on earnings per share in the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Additionally, during the same period the Company used the proceeds from the sale of the put warrants to purchase call warrants. These warrants entitle the Company to buy from the same independent third party shares of Atmel common stock. The call warrants have similar expiry date as the put warrants, are exercisable at any time before maturity and may be settled in cash at Atmel's option. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company received $4,425 from settlement of warrants. There was no impact on earnings per share in the nine months ended September 30, 1997. 5. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 130 (SFAS 130), Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS 130 establishes standards of disclosure and financial statement display for reporting total comprehensive income and its individual components. It is effective for the Company's fiscal year 1998. Also in June 1997, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 131 (SFAS 131), Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprises and Related Information. SFAS 131 changes current practice under SFAS 14 by establishing a new framework on which to base segment reporting (referred to as the management approach) and also requires interim reporting of segment information. It is effective for the Company's fiscal year 1998. The Company is studying the implications of these new statements and the impact of their implementation on the financial statements. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Investors are cautioned that the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation contains certain trend analysis and other forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such -5- 8 forward looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations and projections about the semiconductor industry and assumptions made by the management and are not guarantees of future performance. Therefore, actual events and results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward looking statements due to factors such as the effect of changing economic conditions, material changes in currency exchange rates, conditions in the overall semiconductor market (including the historic cyclicality of the industry), risks associated with product demand and market acceptance risks, the impact of competitive products and pricing, delays in new product development and technological risks and other risk factors identified in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Form 10-K Report. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth for the periods indicated certain operating data as a percentage of total revenues:
THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------ ----------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- ---- NET REVENUES 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% EXPENSES Cost of sales 56.5 50.5 55.4 50.3 Research and development 12.3 10.4 12.3 10.3 Selling, general and administrative 10.2 10.5 10.4 10.9 ---- ---- ----- ----- TOTAL EXPENSES 79.0 71.4 78.1 71.5 OPERATING INCOME 21.0 28.6 21.9 28.5 Interest income, net (1.5) 0.3 (1.2) 0.4 ---- ---- ----- ----- INCOME BEFORE TAXES 19.5 28.9 20.7 28.9 Taxes on income 6.8 10.0 7.2 10.1 ---- ---- ----- ----- NET INCOME 12.7% 18.9% 13.5% 18.8% ==== ==== ===== =====
Net revenues decreased 14.4 percent to $240.1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $280.3 million in the corresponding quarter of 1996. Net revenues for the first nine months ended September 30, 1997 decreased 9.0 percent to $717.9 million over the same period last year from $789.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, increased price competition in the Company's EPROM and other non-volatile memory businesses. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues increased to 56.5 percent in the third quarter of 1997, from 50.5 percent in the corresponding period of 1996 and for the first nine months to 55.4 percent from 50.3 percent. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues was primarily due to lower revenues which were not matched with a corresponding fall in expenses as a result of the increase in operating costs associated with the expansion of the Company's existing wafer fabrication facilities in Colorado Springs, Colorado and Rousset, France. In addition, the decline in average selling price of mature products and the impact on net revenues because of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against international currencies also negatively impacted the cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues. The Company plans to incur additional capital expenditures during the remainder of 1997 to increase its wafer fabrication capacity in its existing facilities and also for installation of -6- 9 equipment at its new facility in Rousset. As a result of the increase in fixed costs and operating expenses related to this planned expansion of capacity, the Company expects that its gross margin could deteriorate further in the future. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development increased to 12.3 percent in the third quarter of 1997, from 10.4 percent in the corresponding quarter of 1996 and for the first nine months to 12.3 percent from 10.3 percent. Research and development expense increased 1.3 percent from $29.2 million in the third quarter of 1996 to $29.6 million in the third quarter of 1997. Research and development expense for the first nine months of 1997 increased 8.7 percent to $88.2 million from $81.1 million in the corresponding period of 1996. The increase was primarily due to the Company's continued investment in the shrinking of the die size of its integrated circuits, currently from 0.65-micron to 0.5-micron line widths; development of 0.35-micron process technology, enhancement of mature products; development of new products, advanced CMOS process technology, manufacturing improvements and the costs associated with increasing production capacity in Colorado Springs and Rousset. The Company believes that continued investment in process technology and product development are essential for it to remain competitive in the markets it serves and is committed to high levels of expenditures for research and development. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased in absolute dollars to $24.5 million in the third quarter of 1997 from $29.4 million in the third quarter of 1996, and declined as a percentage of net revenues from 10.5 percent in 1996 to 10.2 percent in 1997. Selling, general and administrative expense for the first nine months of 1997 decreased in absolute dollars to $74.8 million from $86.4 million in the corresponding period of 1996. The decrease was primarily due to the fact that the Company's selling, general and administrative expense in 1996 included additional provisions for bad debts and legal expenses and sales commissions were lower for 1997 due to the decline in net revenues. The Company reported $3.7 million of net interest expense for the third quarter of 1997, compared to $0.8 million of net interest income for the corresponding period of 1996. For the first nine months of 1997, the net interest expense was $8.7 million, compared to $2.9 million of net interest income in the corresponding period of 1996. The decline in net interest income was primarily due to higher interest expense associated with the increase in borrowings used to finance the expansion and construction of the Company's wafer fabrication facilities in Colorado Springs and Rousset, respectively, and realized foreign exchange losses on accounts receivables due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. The Company's effective tax rate remained at 35.0 percent for the first nine months of 1997. Net income of $30.3 million for the third quarter of 1997 decreased by 42.6 percent from $52.9 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. Net income for the first nine months of 1997 decreased 34.8 percent to $96.5 million from $148.1 million in the corresponding period of 1996. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 1997, the Company had $229.8 million in cash and short-term investments, an increase of $72.5 million from December 31, 1996, and $348.2 million in net working capital, an increase of $224.6 million from December 31, 1996. At September 30, 1997, the Company had long-term investments of $102.0 million, a decrease of $2.6 million from December 31, 1996. These investments consisted of United States government obligations, state and municipal securities and -7- 10 corporate bonds. In May 1997, Atmel S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed a convertible debt financing, which raised approximately $150 million, to fund the continued expansion of its wafer fabrication facilities in Colorado Springs and Rousset, as well as for working capital and other general corporate purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company generated net cash flows from operations of $34.6 million and spent $229.3 million on fixed assets, principally for expanding wafer fabrication capacities at Colorado Springs and Rousset. The Company currently plans to spend an additional $100.0 million through 1997 to complete the expansion of its wafer fabrication facilities. The Company believes that its existing sources of liquidity, together with cash flows from operations, lease financing on equipment and other short- and medium-term bank borrowing, will be sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity and capital requirements through 1997. The Company may, however, seek additional equity or debt financing to fund the expansion of its wafer fabrication capacity or other projects; the timing and amount of such capital requirements cannot be precisely determined at this time. There can be no assurance that such financing would be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company. -8- 11 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
