InvenSense Announces First Quarter Of Fiscal year 2017 Results

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jul. 28, 2016– InvenSense Inc. (NYSE:INVN), a leading provider of MEMS sensor platform solutions, today announced results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2017, ended July 3, 2016.

Net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $60.6 million, down 24 percent from $79.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, and down 43 percent from $106.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

Gross margin determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) was 41 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, consistent with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 included stock-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Excluding these items, non-GAAP gross margin was 46 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, up from non-GAAP gross margin of 45 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

GAAP net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $20.2 million, or $0.22 per share. By comparison, GAAP net loss was $22.9 million, or $0.25 per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. GAAP net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 included stock-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes, accreting interest expense on convertible notes, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and litigation-related expenses. Excluding these items and the income tax effect of the excluded items as well as other discrete tax items, non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $4.9 million, or $0.05 per share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $1.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

The reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial results for all referenced periods is provided in a table immediately following the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations below.

Management Qualitative Comments

“While worldwide consumer and mobile markets were somewhat soft in the first fiscal quarter of 2017, the InvenSense team delivered on our financial guidance, posting incrementally higher non-GAAP gross margins in a competitive environment,” said Behrooz Abdi, president and CEO. “This was the result of improved manufacturing efficiency and product mix, as well as our traction in both mobile and non-mobile markets. We are successfully leveraging investments in our robust sensor platform to integrate and enable high-value, consumer-driven use cases, such as image stabilization, augmented and virtual reality, and inertial navigation, for applications spanning a number of vertical markets. These are creating exciting growth opportunities that we believe play well into our focused strengths.”

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As discussed above, in addition to the company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which are presented according to GAAP, the company provides certain non-GAAP financial information that excludes stock-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes, accreting interest expense on the company’s 1.75% convertible senior notes, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, contingent consideration adjustments related to acquisition milestone payments, patent-related settlement expense and litigation-related expenses, including patent-related litigation expense in the three months ended June 28, 2015. The company uses these non-GAAP measures in its own financial and operational decision-making processes. Further, the company believes that these non-GAAP measures offer an important analytical tool to help investors understand the company’s core operating results and trends and facilitate comparability with the operating results of other companies that provide similar non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures have certain limitations as analytical tools and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial information. For example, stock-based compensation is an important component of the company’s compensation mix and will continue to result in significant expenses in the company’s GAAP results for the foreseeable future, but it is not reflected in the company’s non-GAAP measures. Also, other companies, including other companies in the company’s industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
