EX-99.1 2 f02998exv99w1.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 EXHIBIT 99.1 Contact: Arnold Agbayani Senior Vice President, Finance & CFO IXYS Corporation 3540 Bassett Street Santa Clara, California 95054 IXYS REPORTS ELEVEN CONSECUTIVE QUARTERS OF REVENUE GROWTH Santa Clara, CA. November 4, 2004 -- IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:SYXI) today reported revenues of $61.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, which is an increase of 43.0% over the $42.9 million in revenues for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. For the six months ended September 30, 2004, IXYS reported revenues of $121.3 million, which was a 46.2% increase as compared to $83.0 million in revenues for the same six-month period in the prior fiscal year. "IXYS has shown eleven consecutive quarters of revenue growth and nine consecutive quarters of record revenues. We ended the September quarter with $76 million in backlog, which is just 6% lower than our prior quarter record backlog, indicating a slowing of our revenue growth. However the results indicate the leverage of our revenue growth to date on our profitability and cash generation. Profits for the six months ended September 2004 increased by about 1600% over last year's comparable period," said Dr. Nathan Zommer, Chief Executive Officer of IXYS. Gross profit was $19.5 million, or 31.8% of net sales, for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. This represents a 73.6% increase over gross profit of $11.2 million, or 26.2% percent of net sales, for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. For the six-month period ending September 30, 2004, gross profit was $36.7 million, or 30.2% of net sales. This represents a 55.6% increase in gross profit from $23.6 million, or 28.4% of net sales, for the same six-month period of the prior fiscal year. Net income in the quarter ended September 30, 2004 was $3.8 million ($0.11 per share, diluted), as compared to net loss of $109,000 ($0.00 per share, diluted) in the quarter ended September 30, 2003. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2004, net income was $5.7 million ($0.16 per share, diluted), as compared to net income of $335,000 ($0.01 per share, diluted) in the same six-month period of the prior fiscal year. Arnold Agbayani, Chief Financial Officer of IXYS, said, "The September and December quarters have normally been weaker quarters for the company. We therefore expect that our December quarter revenues will be flat as compared to our September quarter revenues." IXYS develops and markets primarily high performance power semiconductor and control ICs that are used in controlling and converting electrical power efficiently in power systems for telecommunication infrastructure, motor drives, medical systems and transportation. IXYS also serves emerging markets with a combination of digital and analog integrated circuits to control flat panel displays, medical instruments and telecommunications products.
