SMSC Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2006 Results; Fiscal 2006 Revenues Increase by 53% to $319 Million and EPS Grows by $0.47

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. --(Business Wire)-- April 18, 2006 -- SMSC (Nasdaq: SMSC) revenues for the fourth quarter ended February 28, 2006 rose by $29.7 million, or 54%, to $84.6 million, compared to last year's fourth quarter revenues of $54.9 million, and were down by $2.0 million, or 2%, from the third quarter of fiscal 2006, consistent with previous guidance and expected seasonality. Approximately $13.6 million, or 46%, of the year-over-year fourth quarter revenue growth was due to the inclusion of OASIS SiliconSystems (OASIS), acquired on March 30, 2005, and approximately $16.1 million, or 54%, of the revenue growth came from SMSC's pre-existing product lines.

On a GAAP basis, operating income was $3.3 million in the fourth quarter, compared to an operating loss of $6.9 million a year ago, and net income was $3.8 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.15 per share, in the fourth quarter of last year.

SMSC also presents results on an adjusted non-GAAP basis to provide additional insight into underlying operating performance on a comparable basis. For fiscal 2005, this excludes a patent litigation settlement and a gain on the sale of real estate, and for fiscal 2005 and 2006, excludes non-cash acquisition related charges and non-cash charges and credits associated with Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs). A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is provided in the schedule that accompanies this release.

On this basis, non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 was $7.2 million, or 8.5% of revenues, compared to a loss of $2.4 million in the year-ago period. Non-GAAP net income was $6.3 million, or $0.27 per share, compared to net income of $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Non-GAAP net income of $0.27 per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 includes a $1.1 million expense ($0.7 million, or $0.03 per share, after tax) for the cash impact of SARs that were exercised during the period. SMSC does not consider SAR-related expenses in its earnings estimates due to the inability to predict stock prices and their impact on SAR exercises during the quarter. Excluding these expenses, non-GAAP earnings per share were consistent with the Company's prior estimates.

For fiscal 2006, SMSC posted record annual semiconductor product sales of $308.3 million, 56% higher than product sales of $197.8 million in the prior year. Total revenues increased to $319.1 million from $208.8 million last year. OASIS accounted for $52.8 million of total product sales in fiscal 2006. On a GAAP basis, net income per share was $0.55 versus $0.08 in fiscal 2005. On a non-GAAP basis, as described above, net income per share was $1.13 versus $0.29 in fiscal 2005.

Cash and liquid investments at February 28, 2006 increased to $155.0 million from $141.7 million at November 30, 2005. The Company has no bank debt, and book value per share as of February 28, 2006 was $15.18. SMSC's February 28, 2006 Consolidated Balance Sheet reports a $17.8 million liability, and a corresponding increase in goodwill, reflecting additional cash and SMSC common stock which is payable to former OASIS shareholders in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, as a result of achievement of certain performance goals.

Steven J. Bilodeau, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "In fiscal 2006, SMSC's revenues grew by over 54% from the prior year with more than half of that growth coming organically. Excluding the acquisition of OASIS, the Company grew 28%, or more than three times the rate of the semiconductor industry as a whole. The acquisition of OASIS and its Automotive Infotainment product line, which provided the balance of the revenue increase, is proving to be an excellent fit because of its strong growth prospects, as well as market and technological synergies.

"SMSC significantly improved profitability as non-GAAP operating income on a full year basis reached 10.4% of revenues and non-GAAP earnings per share rose by $0.84 to $1.13. Our current product portfolio and new product pipeline is giving us exciting new opportunities in all of our markets."

For the first quarter of fiscal 2007, revenues are expected to be between $82 and $85 million, which represents over 20% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. Non-GAAP net income is expected to be between $0.23 and $0.27 per share, assuming approximately 23.1 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. This guidance is presented only on a non-GAAP basis to provide comparability to historical non-GAAP financial measures and because of SMSC's inability to project its future stock price and the charges or credits that might be required to record stock-based compensation. Accordingly, this guidance excludes both non-cash acquisition related charges and the impact of expensing stock-based compensation in accordance with the requirements of FASB Statement No. 123 (R), which will be effective for SMSC in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

A management teleconference to discuss the quarterly and full year results is scheduled for 5:00 PM EDT, April 18, 2006. 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.

This schedule presents a full reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP operating measures. (a) The adjustment to Cost of goods sold for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 includes $1,652 to remove the impact of writing up the cost of inventory at the date of the OASIS acquisition over OASIS' original cost of the inventory. That write-up only impacted GAAP Cost of goods sold for the turnover period of the OASIS inventory at the date of acquisition, which was completed in September 2005. The remaining $630 adjustment to Cost of goods sold removes non- cash charges associated with Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs). The adjustment for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005 removes a charge of $8 associated with SARs. As SARs are exercised, the actual cash cost of SARs is included within non-GAAP operating measures. (b) The adjustments to Research & development and Selling, general & administrative expenses remove the impact of non-cash charges associated with SARs.
