Business Outlook
The following are MPS' financial targets for the second quarter
ending June 30, 2016:
- Revenue in the range of $91 million to
$95 million.
- GAAP gross margin between 53.6% and 54.6%. Non-GAAP(1) gross
margin between 54.6% and 55.6%. This excludes an estimated impact
of stock-based compensation expenses of 0.4% and amortization of
acquisition-related intangible assets of 0.6%.
- GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses between $36.1 million and $40.1 million. Non-GAAP(1)
R&D and SG&A expenses between $26.1
million and $28.1 million. This excludes an estimate of
stock-based compensation expenses in the range of $10.0 million to $12.0 million.
- Total stock-based compensation expense of $10.4 million to $12.4 million.
- Litigation expenses of $100,000 to
$200,000.
- Interest and other income of $200,000 to
$300,000 before foreign exchange gains or losses.
- Fully diluted shares outstanding between 41.2 million and
42.2 million before shares buyback.
(1) Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share, non-GAAP
gross margin, non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses, non-GAAP
operating expenses, non-GAAP interest and other income and non-GAAP
operating income differ from net income, earnings per share, gross
margin, R&D and SG&A expenses, operating expenses, interest
and other income and operating income determined in accordance with
GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States). Non-GAAP net income and
non-GAAP earnings per share exclude the effect of stock-based
compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related
intangible assets, deferred compensation plan income/expense and
related tax effects. Non-GAAP gross margin exclude the effect of
stock-based compensation expense and amortization of
acquisition-related intangible assets. Non-GAAP operating expenses
exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense and deferred
compensation plan income/expense. Non-GAAP interest and other
income exclude the effect of deferred compensation plan
income/expense. Non-GAAP operating income excludes the effect of
stock-based compensation expense, amortization of
acquisition-related intangible assets, and deferred compensation
plan income/expense. Projected non-GAAP gross margin excludes the
effect of stock-based compensation expense and amortization of
acquisition-related intangible assets. Projected non-GAAP R&D
and SG&A expenses exclude the effect of stock-based
compensation expense. These non-GAAP financial measures are not
prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a
substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance
prepared in accordance with GAAP. A schedule reconciling non-GAAP
financial measures is included at the end of this press release.
MPS utilizes both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to assess
what it believes to be its core operating performance and to
evaluate and manage its internal business and assist in making
financial operating decisions. MPS believes that the inclusion of
non-GAAP financial measures, together with GAAP measures, provides
investors with an alternative presentation useful to investors'
understanding of MPS' core operating results and trends.
Additionally, MPS believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures,
together with GAAP measures, provides investors with an additional
dimension of comparability to similar companies. However, investors
should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures utilized by other
companies are not likely to be comparable in most cases to the
non-GAAP financial measures used by MPS.
