IXYS Corporation Announces Results for the September 2015 Quarter
Quarter-End Highlights:
MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 29, 2015--IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:IXYS), an international power semiconductor and IC company, today reported results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2016, which ended September 30, 2015.
Net revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 were $80.3 million, a decrease of $6.2 million from $86.4 million in net revenues for the September 2014 quarter. For the six months ended September 30, 2015, IXYS reported net revenues of $162.3 million, a decrease of $12.2 million, or 7.0%, as compared to net revenues of $174.5 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year.
“Given the slowdown in the global industrial markets, IXYS continued to demonstrate its agility in strategy and execution. We sustained our profitability with continued investments in new products and the transition to higher value-added power devices and integrated circuits,” commented Dr. Nathan Zommer, Chairman, CEO and Founder of IXYS. “While we await the recovery in the industrial markets, IXYS is uniquely positioned for growth due to the diversity of its products, application markets and geographical presence. For example, we are gaining momentum in the IoT market with new ICs.”
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $3.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 43.0%, as compared to net income of $5.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Sequentially, net income in the September 2015 quarter increased by $288,000 from net income of $3.0 million in the June 30, 2015 quarter.
Net income for the six months ended September 30, 2015 was $6.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 32.9%, as compared to net income of $9.3 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior fiscal year.
The September 2015 quarter non-GAAP net income, which excludes the impact of charges for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock compensation, was $5.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $7.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior fiscal year.
For the six months ended September 30, 2015, non-GAAP net income, which excludes the impact of charges for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock compensation, was $10.4 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $13.4 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior fiscal year.
“Our operating income was $7.0 million for the September 2015 quarter and $12.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2015, which is largely similar to our results in the prior fiscal year of $7.1 million for the September quarter and $12.4 million for the six months. This indicates our ability to operate the business efficiently in the face of a challenging environment,” stated Mr. Uzi Sasson, President and CFO of IXYS.
Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $26.0 million, or 32.4% of net revenues, as compared to gross profit of $26.2 million, or 30.3% of net revenues, for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Sequentially, gross profit margin also increased from 31.2% in the June 2015 quarter to 32.4% in the September quarter, a 120 basis point sequential increase in gross profit margin.
Gross profit for the six months ended September 30, 2015 was $51.6 million, or 31.8% of net revenues, as compared to a gross profit of $51.2 million, or 29.3% of net revenues, for the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock-based compensation expense, was $10.4 million dollars for the September 2015 quarter and $20.1 million dollars for the six months ended September 30, 2015.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $116.9 million at September 30, 2015, as compared to $121.2 million at March 31, 2015. IXYS generated $8.5 million in cash from operations during the September 2015 quarter.
The disbursements resulting in the decrease in cash included $6.4 million for the repurchase of IXYS shares under the company’s authorized stock buyback program and the payment of $2.4 million for dividends.
In the September 2015 quarter, IXYS declared a $0.04 per share dividend which is an increase of one-half cent per share over prior quarters. It is also the twelfth consecutive quarter of dividends.
“Our sales and promotional efforts are focused on increasing revenue in a weak global macroeconomic environment. With continued volatility in European and emerging markets, customers prefer to purchase on short lead times, without providing projections. We are capturing new business due to our ability to adapt to shortened delivery schedules, but we do not have strong visibility for the coming quarters. As a consequence, we expect revenues in the December 2015 quarter to be slightly higher than those of the September 2015 quarter,” said Mr. Sasson.
Non-GAAP Information
Included above and within the attached schedules are certain non-GAAP financial figures. During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the company incurred charges, including those associated with amortization of intangible assets and stock compensation. Adjusting the net income in the September 30, 2015 quarter to exclude the impact of amortization of intangible assets and stock compensation expenses, net of applicable tax at the effective tax rate for the respective periods, results in a financial presentation for the company without the effect of these charges. Similarly, adjusted EBITDA for the September 30, 2015 quarter reflects the exclusion of depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expenses, as well as interest and taxes, and may serve as an indication of the company’s ability to service its debt. Management believes non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share and adjusted EBITDA are useful measures of operating performance. However, the non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net income and net income per share or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share and adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
