MILPITAS, CA, May 8, 2008 -- Adaptec, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADPT),a global leader in storage solutions, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.
"I am pleased with Adaptec's execution on a number of fronts this quarter," said S. "Sundi" Sundaresh, president and CEO of Adaptec. "From a technology innovation perspective, we have made considerable strides in our DPS Business with the very successful global launch of our Series 5 Unified Serial RAID controller family. From an operational perspective, we continue to align expenses with our revenue while improving margins and generating cash."
Net revenues for the Company's fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 were $39.9 million, compared with $51.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Gross margins were 42.5% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with 33.8% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.
The Company's loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, computed on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was $(0.1) million, or $(0.00) per share, compared with a loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, of $(4.2) million, or $(0.04) per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was $0.5 million, or $0.00 per share, compared with a net loss of $(3.3) million, or $(0.03) per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.
Non-GAAP income from continuing operations, net of taxes, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was $5.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with a non-GAAP loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, of $(2.7) million, or $(0.02) per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.
Net revenues for the Company's fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 were $167.4 million, compared with $255.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
The Company's loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, computed on a GAAP basis, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 was $(10.1) million, or $(0.09) per share, compared with income from continuing operations of $24.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
GAAP net loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 was $(9.6) million, or $(0.08) per share, compared with net income of $30.8 million, or $0.25 per diluted share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, which included $61.3 million of discrete tax benefits primarily related to settlements with the IRS.
Non-GAAP income from continuing operations, net of taxes, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 was $2.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP loss from continuing operations of $(5.9) million, or $(0.05) per share, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
The non-GAAP results for all the periods presented, including, but not limited to, the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, as defined below in the section "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures," differ from results measured under GAAP as they exclude stock-based compensation expense, expense associated with a management incentive program, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, restructuring costs, other charges or gains, and tax differences due to GAAP versus non-GAAP measurements. A complete reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information referred to in this release is provided in the attached tables at the end of this press release.

To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain expenses, gains and losses. The Company believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of its current financial performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring the Company's performance, and the Company believes that it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes. The Company also believes, based on feedback provided to the Company during its earnings calls, Q&A sessions and discussions with the investment community, that the non-GAAP financial measures it provides enhance the ability of the investment community to review the Company's results and projections.
The non-GAAP financial information is presented using consistent methodology from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company may be different than the non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
The Company excludes the following expenses, gains and losses from its non-GAAP financial measures, when applicable:
Stock-based compensation expense: Stock-based compensation expense consists of expenses recorded under SFAS 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," in connection with stock awards such as stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units granted under the Company's equity incentive plans and shares issued pursuant to the Company's employee stock purchase plan. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expense from non-GAAP financial measures because it is a non-cash measurement that does not reflect the Company's ongoing business; the Company believes that the provision of non-GAAP information that excludes stock-based compensation improves the ability of investors to compare its period-over-period operating results, as there is significant variability and unpredictability across companies with respect to this expense.
Management incentive program: The Company excludes expenses associated with the management incentive program, which were limited cash payments made to selected members of management of an acquired company, as these payments were instituted as a component of the acquisition process and do not reflect the Company's ongoing business.
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets: Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets primarily relate to core and existing technologies, patents, a trade name and customer relationships that were acquired from prior acquisitions. The Company excludes the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because it does not reflect the Company's ongoing business and it does not have a direct correlation to the operation of the Company's business. In addition, in accordance with GAAP, the Company generally recognizes expenses for internally-developed intangible assets as they are incurred, notwithstanding the potential future benefit such assets may provide. Unlike internally-developed intangible assets, however, and also in accordance with GAAP, the Company generally capitalizes the cost of acquired intangible assets and recognizes that cost as an expense over the useful lives of the assets acquired (other than goodwill, which is not amortized, and acquired in-process technology, which is expensed immediately, as required under GAAP). As a result of their GAAP treatment, there is an inherent lack of comparability between the financial performance of internally-developed intangible assets and acquired intangible assets. Accordingly, the Company believes it is useful to provide, as a supplement to its GAAP operating results, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the amortization of acquired intangible assets in order to enhance the period-over-period comparison of its operating results, as there is significant variability and unpredictability across companies with respect to this expense.
Restructuring charges and other charges (gains): Restructuring charges primarily relate to activities engaged in by the Company's management to simplify its infrastructure. Other charges (gains) primarily relate to the impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets from prior acquisitions and gain on sale of long-lived assets. Restructuring charges and other charges (gains) are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not considered core operating activities and the occurrence of such costs is infrequent. Although the Company has engaged in various restructuring activities over the past several years, each has been a discrete, extraordinary event based on a unique set of business objectives. The Company does not engage in restructuring activities on a regular basis or in the ordinary course of business. As such, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude restructuring charges from its non-GAAP financial measures, as it enhances the ability of investors to compare the Company's period-over-period operating results.
Income taxes: Incremental income taxes associated with certain non-GAAP items.
