SMSC ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2008 RESULTS
Sales and Earnings Exceed Prior Expectation
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., September 25, 2007- SMSC (Nasdaq: SMSC) today announced second quarter fiscal 2008 sales and revenues of $97.5 million, compared to $96.7 million in last fiscal year’s second quarter. On a GAAP basis, second quarter fiscal 2008 net income was $9.3 million, an increase of 62% from $5.7 million in the same period last year, and net income per diluted share was $0.38 versus $0.25 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
SMSC also presents non-GAAP financial measures to provide additional insight into underlying operating performance on a comparable basis. Non-GAAP measures exclude charges and credits for Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) and stock options as recorded pursuant to SFAS 123R, and the amortization of acquired intangible assets. On a non-GAAP basis, for the three months ended August 31, 2007, net income was $14.2 million, an increase of 59% from $8.9 million in the same period last year, and net income per diluted share was $0.59 as compared to $0.39 last year.
Included in both the GAAP and non-GAAP results for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 is a reduction in income tax expense of $2.1 million to adjust deferred tax liabilities due to the reduced German statutory income tax rates enacted in July 2007. Excluding this income tax benefit, non-GAAP net income per diluted share would have been $0.50 for the three months ended August 31, 2007.
Second quarter sales and revenues in the Consumer Electronics & Infotainment, Mobile & Desktop PC and Industrial & Other markets were $37.1 million, $43.5 million and $16.9 million, or 38%, 45% and 17% of total sales and revenues, respectively.
Cash and short-term investments at August 31, 2007 were $181.7 million, up from $169.8 million as of May 31, 2007, and the company has no bank debt. During the quarter the company repurchased 267,818 shares of common stock for $9.3 million, or $34.67 per share.
Steven J. Bilodeau, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said,“Revenues and earnings for the second quarter significantly exceeded our prior expectations. SMSC’s sales into notebook PCs were particularly strong. In addition, Consumer Electronics & Infotainment sales were up 20 percent from last quarter.
“We are also pleased to report that we achieved another key goal by exceeding a 15% operating margin on a non-GAAP basis for the quarter, actually delivering 16.1%. In the third quarter, we expect revenues and gross margins to increase and with continued leverage of expenses, non-GAAP operating margins should grow to even higher levels.”
A management teleconference to discuss second quarter results, the outlook for the third quarter and an update on SMSC’s business model is scheduled for Tuesday, September 25th at 5:00 P.M. EDT. Sales and revenues in the fiscal third quarter are expected to be in the range of $98 to $101 million and earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.49 to $0.53 per share. Guidance is presented on a non-GAAP basis only, given that the GAAP basis charges for equity-based compensation related to SARs cannot be projected reasonably. Slide presentation materials containing additional disclosure regarding results and future earnings expectations, and a link to a webcast of the teleconference will be accessible from the investor relations section of SMSC’s website at www.smsc.com.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:
Included within the press release are non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures adjust the Company’s actual results prepared under GAAP to exclude certain charges. In the schedules attached to this press release, the non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to and should be considered together with the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures for the period for the current and prior fiscal year are provided in schedules accompanying this release.
These non-GAAP measures are not meant as a substitute for GAAP, but are included solely for informational and comparative purposes. The Company’s management believes that this information assists in evaluating operational trends, financial performance, and cash generating capacity. Management believes these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate SMSC’s financial performance using some of the same measures as management. However, the non-GAAP financial measures should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures.
Forward Looking Statements:

Except for historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this announcement are forward-looking statements about expected future events and financial and operating results that involve risks and uncertainties.
