Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Reports Results for the Fiscal Third Quarter of 2013 Ended March 31, 2013
SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 29, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited ("AOS") (Nasdaq:AOSL), a designer, developer and global supplier of a broad range of power semiconductors, today reported financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2013.
The Company reported revenue of $75 million for the fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2013. Gross margin was 7%, which reflected a non-cash, non-recurring inventory valuation charge of $7.7 million recorded during the third quarter. This charge primarily related to excess and obsolete inventory, consisting of PC-related products that were not compatible with a particular OEM's applications and were deemed not saleable. Operating expense was $18.4 million, which included a non-cash charge of $2.6 million related to equipment write-down and reduction in capacity at the company's backend assembly and test facility. This equipment was primarily related to production capacity for packaging of PC related products that the Company has determined has been impaired due to the accelerated decline in the PC market. Including the impact of non-recurring charges, the Company reported a net loss for the quarter of $13.2 million, or $0.52 per share.
The results for the fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2013 are as follows:

Commenting on the results for the third fiscal quarter of 2013, Dr. Mike Chang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AOS, stated, "Our results reflected the impact of an unprecedented sharp decline, and to a lesser extent a market share loss, in the PC industry."
"We have taken aggressive actions to more closely align our cost structure to current revenue levels in response to the declining PC market. With respect to the market share loss, we are working diligently with a major OEM to recover market share with respect to their product requirements. More importantly, we continue to gain design traction in our product offerings in the Industrial and Power Supply, Gaming and LCD TV backlighting industries, as well as Power ICs for use in the next generation of advanced computing," said Dr. Chang.
"While current market conditions are unlikely to improve in the near term, we remain confident about our future strategy and expect to emerge from this downturn as a stronger and more diversified company with market leading positions in several growth industries. Our gross margins should rebound as revenue improves in future quarters."

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections of future performance based on management's judgment, beliefs, current trends, and anticipated product performance. These forward looking statements include, without limitation, projected amount of revenues, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, net income, share-based compensation expenses, expectation with respect to the PC market conditions, our ability and strategy to mitigate the effect of the declining PC market, our ability to meet the product performance requirements of OEMs and to recover loss of market shares, our ability to achieve profitability, expectation with respect to entering new markets and diversifying our product offerings and other information under the section entitled "Fiscal Q4, 2013 Business Outlook". Forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the decline of the PC industry and our ability to respond to such decline, our ability to introduce or develop new and enhanced products that achieve market acceptance; the actual product performance in volume production, the quality and reliability of our product, our ability to achieve design wins, the general business and economic conditions, the state of semiconductor industry and seasonality of our markets, and other risks as described in our SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 filed on August 31, 2012. Other unknown or unpredictable factors or underlying assumptions subsequently proving to be incorrect could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All information provided in this press release is as of today's date, unless otherwise stated, and AOS undertakes no duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with the U.S. GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross margin, operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). These supplemental measures exclude share-based compensation expenses, non-recurring inventory write-down and impairment of long-lived assets that are non-cash charges and costs incurred for our U.S. GAAP conversion and acquisition. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash and non-recurring expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results. In addition, our management uses non-GAAP measures to compare our performance relative to forecasts and to benchmark our performance externally against competitors. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations in that the non-GAAP financial measures we use may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. For example, the term used in this press release, non-GAAP net income, does not have a standardized meaning. Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. We seek to compensate for this limitation by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures in the tables attached to this press release. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
