EX-99.1 2 exhibit_99-1.txt Exhibit 99.1 SMSC REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2005 RESULTS Hauppauge, NY - September 20, 2004 - SMSC (Nasdaq: SMSC) today announced that revenues for the second quarter ended August 31, 2004 were $50.2 million, in line with the Company's estimate announced on August 17, 2004, and approximately 4% higher than revenues of $48.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Gross profit percentage on total revenues was 47.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to 44.5% in the previous year's second quarter. Gross profit percentage on product sales was 44.4% in this year's second quarter as compared to 44.2% a year ago. Research and development expenses for the second quarter were $11.2 million, compared to $9.3 million in the year-ago quarter, and selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.9 million, compared to $10.0 million in last year's second quarter. The year-over-year increases in operating expenses primarily reflect investments in engineering and marketing personnel to support future revenue growth, litigation costs and tooling costs for new product developments. Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $0.6 million as compared to $1.9 million in the year-ago period. Second quarter net income was $0.9 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to $1.5 million, or $0.08 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Cash and liquid investments at August 31, 2004 were $182.0 million, an increase of $12.3 million from $169.7 million at May 31, 2004. Tax refunds totaling $6.9 million contributed to the increase in cash and liquid investments in the quarter. Inventories at August 31, 2004 totaled $27.8 million and remain appropriate relative to expected demand. The Company has no bank debt, and book value per share was $14.47 as of August 31, 2004. "As announced on August 17th, SMSC's second quarter revenues were below normal seasonal patterns resulting from a general slowdown in orders across our businesses, particularly in PC I/O products, as ODMs rebalanced excess inventories," said Steven J. Bilodeau, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "However, based on current customer demand, we expect third quarter product revenues to show sequential growth." Mr. Bilodeau added, "Looking at second quarter revenues compared to last year, networking and connectivity products produced strong growth of over 50% and 80%, respectively. In addition, non-PC I/O revenues contributed 41% of total second quarter product sales, as SMSC continues to execute on its goal of diversifying its product portfolio. "During the second quarter, SMSC introduced two 'industry first' products with its USB2.0 2-port hub for portable and integrated applications, as well as its suite of integrated industrial-temperature embedded I/O controllers. Also, early in September, SMSC announced a comprehensive line of USB2.0 hubs, USB2.0 card reader, USB2.0 PHY, mobile super I/O and embedded ethernet controllers for a wide range of consumer and commercial connectivity solutions. Our commitment to driving product innovation, as evidenced in these recent introductions, should serve us well in our diversification goal as we target a broader range of markets." Business Outlook: For the third quarter of fiscal 2005, SMSC expects revenues to be between $54 million and $57 million, representing a sequential increase in revenues of approximately 11%, at the midpoint of that range. Gross profit percentage is expected to be between 45% and 46%, reflective of product mix and a slowing of cost reductions due to tightened supply constraints. Research and development expenses are expected to be between $10.5 million and $11.5 million, and selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to be between $11 million and $12 million. Amortization of acquired intangibles is expected to be approximately $0.3 million. Due to higher interest income caused by the increased cash balance and a change in the mix of taxable and non-taxable investments, interest income is expected to be approximately $0.7 million. The effective tax rate is estimated to be between 26% and 27%, and the Company expects third quarter net income to be between $0.10 and $0.14 per share.
