7 LEVEL ONE COMMUNICATIONS, INCORPORATED _____ ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 1996. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of the factors set forth in "Factors that May Affect Future Results" and elsewhere in this Report. REVENUES Revenues increased 65% to $27.5 million in the second quarter of 1996 compared to revenues of $16.6 million for the same quarter of 1995. For the first six months of 1996, revenues increased 84% to $55.0 million from $29.8 million for the same period of 1995. Networking product revenues were $11.9 million and $9.1 million for the second quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of 30%. Transmission product revenues were $15.6 million and $7.5 million for the second quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of 108%. For the first six months of 1996, networking product revenues were $24.2 million and transmission product revenues were $30.8 million, an increase of 73% and 95%, respectively, over the first six months of 1995. The increases during the second quarter and first half of 1996 reflect the substantial unit sales growth due to the continued market acceptance of the Company's products in both the networking and transmission markets, and the broadening of the Company's customer base. International sales were $11.1 million or 41% and $5.7 million or 34% of sales for the second quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively. For the first half of 1996 and 1995, international sales were $21.3 million or 39% and $9.5 million or 32% of sales, respectively. The increase in international sales in the second quarter and first half of 1996 over the same periods of 1995 is attributable to the Company's increased international marketing efforts, which included the addition of sales and application engineering personnel. All sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, thereby eliminating the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on revenues. The Company's profit margin on international sales is not materially different from that realized on its sales in the United States. 8 GROSS MARGIN The Company's cost of sales includes the cost of wafer fabrication, packaging and assembly performed by third party vendors, and costs associated with the procurement, scheduling, product engineering, testing and quality assurance functions performed by the Company. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues in the second quarter of 1996 was 58.1% versus 58.6% in the second quarter of 1995. During any period, the Company's gross margin is affected by several factors, including the mix of products, test equipment utilization, foundry and assembly manufacturing yields, declining selling prices, and the cost benefits achieved through die size reductions. The Company conducts ongoing product enhancement and cost reduction programs. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development expenses were $5.7 million or 20.9% of revenues in the second quarter of 1996 versus $4.7 million, or 28.6% of revenues in the second quarter of 1995. In the first half of 1996, research and development expenses were $11.4 million or 20.7% of revenues versus $7.6 million, or 25.6% of revenues in the same period of 1995. Research and development expenses in 1995 were uncharacteristically high as a percentage of revenues as a result of a one- time charge of $750,000 in the second quarter of 1995 related to the acquisition of San Francisco Telecom, Inc. The research and development expense increase on a year-to-year basis is due primarily to additions to the Company's design engineering staff and related new product design expenses. The markets for the Company's products are characterized by continuing technological change, evolving industry standards, and frequent new product introductions. The Company believes that the continued introduction of new products is essential to its success and is committed to continued substantial investment in new product research and development. The Company anticipates increased investment in research and development in absolute dollars in future years, although research and development costs as a percentage of revenues may decline over time. SALES AND MARKETING Sales and marketing expenses were $4.0 million or 14.5% of revenues in the second quarter of 1996 versus $2.5 million or 15% of revenues in the second quarter of 1995. In the first half of 1996, sales and marketing expenses were $8.0 million or 14.5% of revenues compared to $4.7 million or 15.9% of revenues in the first half of 1995. The increases in expenditures are primarily attributable to the continued expansion of the Company's international sales efforts, higher sales commissions associated with increased revenues, and the expansion of the Company's sales and marketing staffs. The Company anticipates that sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase as revenues grow and it opens sales support offices in Europe and in the Far East during 1996. The Company also plans to add additional application engineering personnel. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE In the second quarter of 1996, general and administrative expenses were $1.8 million or 6.4% of revenues versus $1.3 million or 8.1% of revenues in the same period of 1995. General and 9 administrative expenses were $3.6 million or 6.5% of revenues in the first half of 1996 versus $2.4 million or 8.1% of revenues in the first half of 1995. The increased expenses are primarily attributable to additional headcount associated with the Company's growth. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal sources of liquidity as of June 29, 1996, consisted of $32.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and $10 million available under the Company's revolving line of credit. At June 29, 1996, the Company had no outstanding balance under this line of credit. Working capital as of June 29, 1996, was $54.1 million. During the first six months of 1996, the Company generated $9.1 million of cash from operating activities, as compared to $5.6 million in the same period in 1995. Net cash generated from operations in the second quarter of both 1996 and 1995 was primarily due to increased profitability. During the first six months of 1996, financing activities provided net cash of $1.3 million versus net cash used of $17,000 for the same period a year ago. The primary source of cash in both periods was the issuance of common stock upon exercise of employee stock options. During the first six months of 1996, the Company used net cash of $2.3 million for investing activities. The Company generated net cash of $6.5 million from the maturity of short-term investments and used $8.8 million for the purchase of capital equipment and other assets, including a deposit with a third party semiconductor foundry. During the first six months of 1995, the Company used net cash of $13.0 million for investing activities, primarily for the purchase of short-term investments of $4.7 million and the purchase of capital equipment for $8.1 million. During 1995, the Company entered into five-year arrangements with three of its suppliers for committed foundry capacity in consideration for equipment financing or a cash deposit. Under one of these agreements, the Company is subject to a penalty if it fails to purchase specified minimum quantities of wafers. Through 1998, these arrangements provide for additional expenditures aggregating $18 million, which the Company expects to pay using cash generated from operations. The Company expects to fund its 1996 capital equipment requirements using a combination of cash and equipment leasing. The Company believes that its existing cash resources combined with cash generated from operations, equipment lease arrangements and its line of credit will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements through the end of 1996. However, the Company may from time to time seek additional equity or debt financing as a result of the capital intensive nature of the semiconductor industry. FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS The following risk factors may be associated with the outlook for the Company's business: DEPENDENCE UPON INDEPENDENT MANUFACTURERS 10 The Company does not manufacture the wafers used for its products. To date, the Company's wafers have been manufactured by foundries located in the United States, Europe, and the Far East. The Company depends upon these suppliers to produce wafers at acceptable yields and to deliver them to the Company in a timely manner at competitive prices. The Company may sustain an adverse impact on operating results from problems with the cost, timeliness, yield and quality of wafer deliveries from suppliers. From time to time, the available industry- wide foundry capacity fluctuates significantly. During periods of constrained supply, the Company may experience difficulty in securing an adequate supply of wafers, and/or its suppliers may increase wafer prices which must be paid by the Company. In periods in which wafer supply is plentiful, the Company may experience less predictability in customer ordering patterns, as the shorter lead times cause customers to place orders nearer to their planned delivery dates. The Company's operating results depend in substantial part on its ability to maintain or increase the capacity available to it from its existing or new foundries. The Company is also dependent upon third-party assembly companies that package the semiconductor die. The Company depends upon these suppliers to produce products in a timely manner and at competitive prices. The Company has in the past and may in the future sustain a financial impact from problems with the cost, timeliness, yield and quality of product deliveries from these suppliers. FACTORS AFFECTING QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapid technological change, intense competitive pressure and cyclical market patterns. The Company's results of operations are affected by a wide variety of factors, including general economic conditions, conditions specific to the semiconductor industry, decreases in average selling price, the timing of new product introductions (both by the Company and its competitors), use of new manufacturing technologies, the ability to safeguard patents and intellectual property, and rapid escalation or decline of demand for products. The level of net revenues in any specific quarter can also be affected by the level of orders placed during that quarter. The Company attempts to respond to changes in market conditions as soon as possible; however, the suddenness of their onset can make the prediction of and reaction to such events difficult. Due to the foregoing and other factors, past results, such as those described in this report, may not be predictive of future performance. DEPENDENCE ON NEW PRODUCTS The Company's future success depends on its ability to develop and introduce new products on a timely basis. These new products need to compete effectively on the basis of price, performance and customer requirements. During the second quarter of 1996, the Company introduced two new products. Because of the complexity of its products, the Company may experience delays from time to time in completing development and introduction of new products, and, as a result, may not achieve the market share anticipated for such products. The Company conducts its own analysis of market trends and relies as well on forecasts and information provided by industry analysts. Market conditions may change rapidly as technology, economic, or user-preference conditions cause different communications technologies to experience different growth prospects from those forecast by the Company or by others. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully identify new product opportunities and bring new products to market in a timely manner, that products or technologies developed by others will not render the Company's products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive, or that the Company's products will be 11 selected for design into the products of its targeted customers. In addition, the average selling price for any particular product may decrease rapidly over the product's life. To offset such decreases, the Company relies primarily on obtaining yield improvements and corresponding cost reductions in the manufacture of existing products and on introducing new products which incorporate advanced features and other price/performance factors such that higher average selling prices and higher margins are achievable relative to existing product lines. To the extent that such cost reductions and new product introductions with higher margins do not occur in a timely manner, or the Company's products do not achieve market acceptance, the Company's operating results could be adversely affected. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY The Company relies upon patent, trademark, trade secret and copyright law to protect its intellectual property. There can be no assurance that such intellectual property rights can be successfully asserted in the future or will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged. Litigation, regardless of its outcome, could result in substantial cost and diversion of resources of the Company. Any infringement claim or other litigation against or by the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. In November 1995 the Company commenced infringement litigation against a competitor. See Part II, Item 1, "Litigation". SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY The semiconductor industry has historically been cyclical and subject to significant economic downturns at various times, characterized by diminished product demand, accelerated erosion of average selling prices and overcapacity. The Company may experience substantial period-to-period fluctuations in future operating results due to general semiconductor industry conditions, overall economic conditions or other factors. In addition, the securities of many high technology companies have historically been subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations, a factor which may adversely affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock. Due to the number of weeks in the Company's accounting months within a quarter, the Company generally receives bookings for and ships more product in the third month of each quarter than in either of the first two months of the quarter. This concentration of shipments in the last month of the quarter may cause the Company's quarterly results of operations to be more difficult to predict. Moreover, if a disruption in the Company's production or shipping occurs near the end of a quarter, the Company's revenues for that quarter could be adversely affected. The Company must often order wafers and build inventory well in advance of product shipments. There is risk that the Company may forecast incorrectly and produce excess or insufficient inventories of particular products because the Company's markets are volatile and subject to rapid technology and price changes, which could affect shipments. This inventory risk is heightened because certain of the Company's customers place orders with lead times that make such orders subject to cancellation or rescheduling by that customer. To the extent the Company produces excess or insufficient inventories of particular products, the Company's revenues and earnings could be adversely affected. 12 Sales in the second quarter of 1996 to customers who placed orders within the quarter generating these sales represented a larger portion of the Company's revenues than the Company has previously experienced. To the extent the Company continues to be subject to such shorter ordering cycles, it may increase the Company's risk that it will over- or under-produce inventory while making it more difficult for the Company to forecast its quarterly operating results. Increases in the general demand for semiconductor products may result in a reduction in the availability of wafers from foundries. Such capacity limitations may adversely affect the Company's ability to deliver products to its customers on a timely basis, and may also adversely impact the Company's margins. Additionally, the Company believes that during periods of strong demand and/or restricted semiconductor capacity, customers will over order to attempt to assure an adequate supply. Accordingly, certain of the Company's customers may cancel or postpone orders without notice if parts become available. These characteristics may result in volatility of the Company's backlog. Even if the Company has products available for sale to its customers, many of the Company's products could be affected in the event the Company's customers encounter shortages in other parts necessary to build and ship their products. Shortages of components from other suppliers could cause the Company's customers to cancel or delay programs incorporating the Company's parts, resulting in the cancellation or delay of orders of the Company's products. The Company's business is intensely competitive and is characterized by new product cycles, price erosion, and rapid technological change. Competition typically occurs at the design stage, where the customer evaluates alternative design approaches that require integrated circuits. Because product life and design-in cycles can be short, the Company's competitors have opportunities to achieve design wins in next generation systems. In the event that competitors succeed in supplanting the Company's products, the Company's market share may not be sustainable and revenues, gross margin, and earnings would be adversely affected Because of the foregoing factors that may affect future results, investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends for future periods. In addition, the Company participates in a highly dynamic industry that may result in significant volatility of the Company's common stock price. 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On November 28, 1995, the Company initiated a patent infringement suit against Seeq Technologies, Inc. in United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The suit relates to two Level One patents, No. 5,267,269 and No. 5,249,183, and to certain Seeq products used in Ethernet system products. The suit seeks damages and injunctive relief. Seeq has denied the allegations. Although the Company does not believe such litigation will have a material impact on the Company, litigation, regardless of its outcome, could result in substantial cost and diversion of resources of the Company. See "Factors Affecting Quarterly Operating Results". There are no other material pending legal proceedings, other than routine litigation incidental to the Company's business, to which the Company is a party or of which any of its property is the subject.
