Lattice Semiconductor Reports Second Quarter Financial Results
Lattice Semiconductor Reports Second Quarter Financial Results
Quarterly Revenue Up Three Percent Sequentially
HILLSBORO, OR–(EMWNews – July 24, 2008) – Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (
2008 ended June 28, 2008.
For the second quarter, revenue was $58.1 million, an increase of three
percent from the $56.6 million reported in the prior quarter, and a
decrease of two percent from the $59.2 million reported in the same quarter
a year ago.
FPGA revenue for the second quarter was $13.4 million, down two percent
from the $13.7 million reported in the prior quarter, and down one percent
from the $13.5 million reported in the same quarter a year ago. PLD revenue
for the quarter was $44.7 million, an increase of four percent over the
$42.9 million reported in the prior quarter, and a two percent decrease
from the $45.7 million reported in the same quarter a year ago.
New product revenue for the second quarter was $12.3 million, up 10 percent
from the $11.2 million reported in the prior quarter, and up 90 percent
from the $6.5 million reported in the same quarter a year ago.
Other (expense) income, net for the second quarter was an expense of $10.5
million compared to income of $1.3 million reported in the prior quarter
and income of $4.3 million reported in the same quarter a year ago. Other
expense for the second quarter of 2008 included an impairment charge of
$11.3 million primarily related to an other-than-temporary decline in fair
value of auction rate securities held in Long-term marketable securities.
Other income for the second quarter of 2007 included a $0.4 million gain
related to the extinguishment of our Zero Coupon Convertible Notes and a
$1.6 million gain related to the sale of land.
Net loss for the second quarter was $13.6 million ($0.12 per share), as
compared to a prior quarter net loss of $3.3 million ($0.03 per share), and
a net loss of $1.5 million ($0.01 per share) reported in the same quarter a
year ago. These results include amortization charges, stock-based
compensation expense, an impairment charge, restructuring charges, and gain
on sale of land which totaled $14.9 million and $4.6 million for the second
quarter of 2008 and prior quarter, respectively, and $2.4 million for the
second quarter of 2007. Excluding these items, non-GAAP net income for the
second quarter of 2008 was $1.3 million as compared to non-GAAP net income
of $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2008 and non-GAAP net income of
$1.0 million for the same quarter a year ago. The Company believes
exclusion of these items more closely approximates its ongoing operational
performance.
“I’m honored and excited that the board of Lattice entrusted me to take the
lead of our company moving forward,” stated Bruno Guilmart, President and
CEO, who joined Lattice July 7, 2008. “In the near term, I am working
closely with my management team to comprehensively review Lattice’s
business in order to formulate a new cost structure and a refined product
strategy. We intend to implement a new business model that better aligns
our operating costs with near-term revenue expectations and to deliver
improved operating results.”
Business Outlook — September 2008 Quarter:
-- Revenue is expected to be flat to down three percent on a sequential
basis;
-- Gross margin percentage is expected to be approximately 55% to 56% of
revenue;
-- Total operating expenses are expected to be approximately $33 million;
-- Intangible asset amortization is expected to be approximately $1.4
million; and
-- Interest and other income is expected to be approximately $0.7
million.
Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various
performance measures. In addition to our GAAP results, we also consider
adjusted net income, which we refer to as non-GAAP net income. This
measure is generally based on the revenue of our products and the costs of
those operations, such as cost of products sold, research and development,
sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses, that
management considers in evaluating our ongoing core operating performance.
Non-GAAP net income excludes amortization of intangible assets, stock-based
compensation, impairment of Long-term marketable securities and Other
current assets, restructuring charges and gain on sale of land. Intangible
assets relate to assets acquired through acquisitions and consist of
technology purchased in connection with the acquisitions. Stock-based
compensation charges include expense for items such as stock options and
restricted stock units granted to employees and purchases under the
employee stock purchase plan. Impairment of Long-term marketable securities
relates to an other-than-temporary decline in fair value of our auction
rate securities that continue to experience unsuccessful auctions.
Impairment of Other current assets relates to an other-than-temporary
decline in fair value of common stock of one of our foundry partners.
Restructuring charges consist of expenses and subsequent adjustments
incurred under corporate restructuring plans that were initiated in the
fourth quarter of 2005 and in the third quarter of 2007, and include items
such as severance costs, costs to vacate space under long-term lease
arrangements, and other related expenses. Gain on sale of land relates to
a gain resulting from the sale of real property during the relevant period.
Non-GAAP net income is a supplemental measure of our performance that is
not required by and not presented in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, it
should not be considered as an alternative to net loss, operating loss or
any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an
alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of our
liquidity. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the
reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained within this press
release with our net loss, which is our most directly comparable GAAP
financial result. For more information, see the Consolidated Statement of
Operations contained in this earnings release.
Conference Call and Business Update:
On July 24, 2008, Lattice will hold a telephone conference call at 2:00
p.m. (Pacific Time) with financial analysts. Investors may listen to our
conference call live via the web at www.lscc.com. Replays of the call will
also be available at www.lscc.com. On September 11, 2008, we plan to
publish a “Business Update Statement” on our website. Our financial
guidance will be limited to the comments on our public quarterly earnings
call and these public business outlook statements.
Forward-Looking Statements Notice:
The foregoing paragraphs contain forward-looking statements that involve
estimates, assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including statements
relating to the implementation of a new business model and the expected
results produced by that model, the timing of related announcements and
statements relating to our business outlook. The forward-looking statements
in the “Business Outlook – September 2008 Quarter” section of this release
do not include the effects of any restructuring charges or other accounting
adjustments that may be required by actions taken in connection with the
formulation of a new cost structure or refinement of product strategy.
Lattice also believes the factors identified below in connection with each
such statement could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements.
Estimates of future revenue are inherently uncertain due to the high
percentage of quarterly “turns” business. In addition, revenue is affected
by such factors as pricing pressures, competitive actions, the demand for
our Mature, Mainstream, and New products, and the ability to supply
products to customers in a timely manner. Actual gross margin percentage
and operating expenses could vary from the estimates contained herein on
the basis of, among other things, changes in revenue levels, changes in
product pricing and mix, changes in wafer, assembly and test costs,
variations in manufacturing yields, and changes in stock-based compensation
charges due to stock price changes.
In addition to the foregoing, other factors that may cause actual results
to differ materially from the forward-looking statements herein include the
disruption of our business activities due to the transition to our new
Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s dependencies on its silicon wafer
suppliers, technological and product development risks, and the other risks
that are described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Company does not intend to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of events or circumstances
after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Notes:
(1) Long-term marketable securities include auction rate securities that
were reclassified from Cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable
securities because recent auctions have been unsuccessful, and as a
result, such securities are presently considered to be illiquid. As a
result of an other-than-temporary decline in fair value for the
securities, we recorded an impairment charge of $10.3 million to Net
loss for the quarter ended June 28, 2008.
(2) An impairment charge of $1.0 million was recorded to Net loss for the
quarter ended June 28, 2008 for an investment in a foundry partner
which is held in Other current assets.
(3) At December 29, 2007, the Company performed an impairment test on
Goodwill. As a result, Goodwill related to the acquisition of Vantis
Corporation on June 15, 1999, the acquisition of Integrated
Intellectual Properties, Inc. on March 16, 2001, and the acquisition
of the FPGA business of Agere Systems, Inc. on January 18, 2002, was
determined to have no implied fair value and the entire balance of
$223.6 million was recorded as a Goodwill impairment charge. As a
result, we no longer have Goodwill recorded on our Consolidated
Balance Sheet.
(4) Subsequent to June 28, 2008, the Company completed the purchase of
$40.0 million in principal amount of its Zero Coupon Convertible Notes
("Notes") due July 1, 2010. The Notes were purchased on July 2, 2008
pursuant to the exercise by the noteholders of their repurchase rights.
Based on these purchases, no such Notes remain outstanding.
