HSINCHU, Taiwan, April 12, 2016 -- SemiLEDs Corporation (NASDAQ:LEDS), “SemiLEDs” or the “Company,” a developer and manufacturer of LED chips and LED components, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, ended February 29, 2016.
Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $2.9 million, a 2% decrease compared to $3.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $2.5 million, or a net loss of $0.09 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $3.3 million, or a net loss of $0.11 per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2016.
“We have made good progress toward restructuring our business and focus,” said Trung Doan, Chairman, President and CEO. “Compared with the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, cash position and gross margin have improved and our capital spending has reduced in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016,” concluded Doan.
On a non-GAAP basis, net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $2.2 million, or a net loss of $0.08 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders of $3.3 million, or a loss of $0.11 in the first quarter of 2016.
GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was negative 27%, compared with gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 of negative 49%. Operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was negative 95%, compared with negative 106% in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents was $5.3 million at February 29, 2016, compared to $3.5 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Cash used in operating activities was $1.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, compared with $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.
We expect revenue for the third quarter ending May 31, 2016 to be $2.4 million to $3.0 million.
About SemiLEDs
SemiLEDs develops and manufactures LED chips and LED components primarily for general lighting applications, including street lights and commercial, industrial and residential lighting, along with specialty industrial applications such as ultraviolet (UV) curing, medical/cosmetic, counterfeit detection, horticulture, architectural lighting and entertainment lighting. SemiLEDs sells blue, white, green and UV LED chips.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
SemiLEDs has provided in this press release adjusted financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. SemiLEDs uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to, but not as a substitute for, GAAP measures, in evaluating the Company’s operational performance. SemiLEDs believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in SemiLEDs’ industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The historical non-GAAP financial measures presented above exclude the following items required to be included by GAAP: non-cash stock-based compensation charges, employee termination benefits and the related tax effect, if any. In addition to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed above, SemiLEDs also uses free cash flow as a measure of operating performance. Free cash flow represents cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
