Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:CY) today announced that revenue for the 2009 fourth quarter was $194.0 million, up 8.5% from $178.7 million for the prior quarter, and up 17.5% from $165.1 million for the year-ago period.

Cypress recorded GAAP net income of $2.9 million in the 2009 fourth quarter, or diluted earnings per share of $0.02. This compares with last quarter’s diluted net loss per share of $0.13 and a diluted net loss per share in the year-ago fourth quarter of $2.88.

Non-GAAP1 net income for the 2009 fourth quarter—excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, restructuring and other special charges and credits—totaled $31.7 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.16. That compares with non-GAAP1 diluted earnings per share of $0.10 for the prior quarter and a diluted net loss per share of $0.08 for the year-ago fourth quarter.

For the fiscal year 2009, Cypress posted total revenue of $667.8 million, a decrease of 12.8% from fiscal year 2008 revenue of $765.7 million. On a GAAP basis, Cypress’s fiscal year 2009 diluted net loss per share was $1.03, compared with a diluted net loss per share of $1.89 in 2008. On a non-GAAP1 basis, Cypress’s fiscal year 2009 diluted earnings per share was $0.10, compared with diluted earnings per share of $0.20 in 2008.

Cypress President and CEO T.J. Rodgers said, “We are pleased to report a strong sequential revenue increase of 8.5% in what is seasonally a down quarter. The growth occurred in all core divisions. We exceeded the upper end of our guidance due to both strong growth in our PSoC®-based touchscreen products and strength in our high-performance SRAM business. We continue to achieve significant design wins with our proprietary products—especially our TrueTouch™ touchscreen products.

“Customers are providing increased booking visibility into Q1 and Q2, and our semiconductor book-to-bill ended Q4 at 1.13—a significant milestone since we rarely have a positive book-to-bill entering Q1 due to consumer seasonality. Lead times have not increased and we see no signs of double ordering.

“Fiscal year 2009 was unprecedented. The semiconductor industry and Cypress did not emerge unscathed. However, we are proud that our focus on programmable products and our financial discipline have allowed us to exceed our internal plan for gross profit margin, operating expenses, net income, earnings per share and cash flow. Our stock performance has responded by increasing 136% in 2009 and outperforming all major market indexes by at least 2x. We enter 2010 with zero debt and $333 million in cash equivalents and investments.

“While we can’t predict where the economy will go in 2010, we are seeing positive signs from our customer base, increased bookings and backlog, strong design wins, low levels of inventory and a very rational supply chain.

“We enter 2010 with the strongest new product portfolio in the company’s history, led by our flagship PSoC family and by strength in our industry-leading SRAM and USB families. In addition, investments in our Emerging Technology Division3 will begin to realize increased revenue in the second half of 2010. Customer acceptance of our new products remains very strong, and we are pleased with the high-profile design wins that we are booking in the handset market and other end markets served by our touchscreen controllers. Our next-generation PSoC family, comprising the revolutionary PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 embedded solutions, are off to a strong start with robust initial design wins. Together these new families significantly expand Cypress’s addressable market 10x from $1.5 billion for PSoC 1 to more than $15 billion for PSoC 1, PSoC 3 and PSoC 5. The new architectures offer powerful precision analog, as well as unparalleled programmable analog and digital integration, allowing us to drive many years of increased sales.”

SmartSense dynamically detects and adjusts a system’s capacitive-sensing parameters, eliminating the need for manual tuning, accelerating design cycles and ensuring that manufacturing variations do not impact performance.

+ Cypress introduced the CY8C28xxx, an enhanced version of its PSoC 1 device that enables more advanced mixed-signal and sensing applications, supports faster capacitive touch-sensing interfaces, and offers more sophisticated I2C integration. The device targets industrial control, communications devices and white goods.

+ Cypress introduced the PSoC 3 Precision Analog Voltmeter Demo Kit, highlighting the broad precision analog capabilities of its new PSoC 3 architecture. The kit enables designers to use configurable analog components, including the 20-bit Delta Sigma ADC, in the PSoC Creator IDE to build industrial and consumer sensors, and glucose meters among other analog applications. Cypress also introduced two PSoC 3 evaluation kits to simplify the design of LCD Segment Drive applications.

+ Cypress unveiled 30 new example projects for its PSoC 3 programmable system-on-chip architecture. The example projects—downloadable for free from the Cypress Solutions Library at www.cypress.com/solutions—demonstrate to embedded designers how to integrate a variety of functions into designs more quickly with easily replicated, robust intellectual property (IP) elements.

+ Cypress’s PowerPSoC® family of integrated power controllers won the European Electronic Industry’s 2009 Elektra Award for “Power Systems Product of the Year.” PowerPSoC is the industry’s first single-chip solution that both drives and controls LEDs.

+ Cypress launched Turbo-MTP™ 2.0, an upgraded West Bridge® MTP module with faster sideloading speeds. Users can transfer a movie from a PC to their handheld device in less than 45 seconds—four times faster than the next-best alternative. West Bridge continues to be the only solution for MTP, which allows a handheld device to auto-sync, eliminating the need for tedious file copying. To see a demo of this sideloading solution with Google’s Android OS, go to www.cypress.com/go/video.

Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Cypress uses non-GAAP financial measures which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to exclude certain items, as described in details below. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional and useful way of viewing aspects of Cypress’s operations that, when viewed in conjunction with Cypress’s GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the various factors and trends affecting Cypress’s business and operations. Non-GAAP financial measures used by Cypress include:

  • Gross margin;
  • Research and development expenses;
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses;
  • Operating income (loss);
  • Net income (loss); and
  • Diluted net income (loss) per share.

Cypress uses each of these non-GAAP financial measures for internal managerial purposes, when providing its financial results and business outlook to the public, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Cypress’s operational and financial performance of current and historical results. Management uses these non-GAAP measures for strategic and business decision making, internal budgeting, forecasting and resource allocation processes. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Cypress’s historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results.

Cypress believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the GAAP financial results, are useful to investors because they allow investors to see Cypress’s results “through the eyes” of management as these non-GAAP financial measures reflect Cypress’s internal measurement processes. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to better assess changes in each key element of Cypress’s operating results across different reporting periods on a consistent basis. Thus, management believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with another method for assessing Cypress’s operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may be limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon Cypress’s reported financial results. Management compensates for these limitations by providing investors with reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures supplement, and should be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Investors should review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the accompanying press release.

As presented in the “Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables in the accompanying press release, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items:

  • Stock-based compensation expense.

Stock-based compensation expense relates primarily to the equity awards such as stock options and restricted stock. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is dependent on market forces that are often beyond Cypress’s control. As a result, management excludes this item from Cypress’s internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that non-GAAP measures adjusted for stock-based compensation provide investors with a basis to measure Cypress’s core performance against the performance of other companies without the variability created by stock-based compensation as a result of the variety of equity awards used by companies and the varying methodologies and subjective assumptions used in determining such non-cash expense.

  • Changes in value of Cypress’s key employee deferred compensation plan.

Cypress sponsors a voluntary deferred compensation plan which provides certain key employees with the option to defer the receipt of compensation in order to accumulate funds for retirement. The amounts are held in a trust and Cypress does not make contributions to the deferred compensation plan or guarantee returns on the investment. Changes in the value of the investment in Cypress’s common stock under the plan are excluded from the non-GAAP measures. Management believes that such non-cash item is not related to the ongoing core business and operating performance of Cypress, as the investment contributions are made by the employees themselves.

  • Restructuring charges.

Restructuring charges primarily relate to activities engaged by management to make changes related to its infrastructure in an effort to reduce costs. Restructuring charges are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not considered core operating activities and such costs have not historically occurred in each year. Although Cypress has engaged in various restructuring activities in the past, each has been a discrete event based on a unique set of business objectives. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude restructuring charges from Cypress’s non-GAAP financial measures, as it enhances the ability of investors to compare Cypress’s period-over-period operating results from continuing operations.

  • Investment-related gains/losses.

Investment-related gains/losses primarily include: (1) gain on sale of SunPower common stock, (2) impairment loss related to Cypress’s investment when it determines the decline in fair value is other-than-temporary in nature, and (3) gains/losses related to the sales of its debt and equity investments. These items are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not related to the core operating activities and operating performance of Cypress, and in most cases, such transactions have not historically occurred in every quarter. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude investment-related gains/losses from Cypress’s non-GAAP financial measures, as it enhances the ability of investors to compare Cypress’s period-over-period operating results.

  • License Royalty.

License royalty represents the historical impact of a license agreement signed in the fourth quarter of 2009. These historical costs are excluded from Cypress’s non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it is not reflective of the ongoing operating performance of Cypress’s business and can distort the period-over-period comparison.

  • Gains on divestitures and long-term assets.

Cypress recognizes gains resulting from the exiting or sale of certain non-strategic businesses and long-term assets that no longer align with Cypress’s long-term operating plan. Cypress excludes these items from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it is not reflective of the ongoing operating performance of Cypress’s business and can distort the period-over-period comparison.

  • Impact of FSP APB 14-1

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009 we adopted FSP APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion,” which specified that Cypress that Cypress should separately account for the liability and equity components of the instruments. The adoption required the retrospective application of the FSP and we recorded additional non-cash interest expense. These costs are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures because such non-cash expenses have not historically occurred in every quarter, which would affect the ability of investors to compare Cypress’s period-over-period operating results. In addition, management does not believe that this item is indicative of the ongoing operating performance of Cypress’s business.

  • Acquisition-related expense.

Acquisition-related expense primarily includes: (1) impairment of goodwill, (2) amortization of intangibles, which include acquired intangibles such as purchased technology, patents and trademarks, (3) a settlement loss resulted from the cancellation of a licensing agreement with Simtek following the acquisition, and (4) earn-out compensation expense, which include compensation resulting from the achievement of milestones established in accordance with the terms of the acquisitions. In most cases, these acquisition-related charges are not factored into management’s evaluation of potential acquisitions or Cypress’s performance after completion of acquisitions, because they are not related to Cypress’s core operating performance. Adjustments of these items provide investors with a basis to compare Cypress against the performance of other companies without the variability caused by purchase accounting.

  • Income (loss) from discontinued operations.

Cypress completed the spin-off of SunPower in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and restated the financial statements to present SunPower as discontinued operations for all periods. Management no longer evaluates SunPower’s results and therefore believes that it is appropriate to exclude SunPower from Cypress’s non-GAAP financial measures, as it enhances the ability of investors to compare Cypress’s period-over period operating results on a stand-alone basis.

  • Release of allowance for uncollectible employee loans.

The allowance for uncollectible employee loans is related to outstanding employee loans under Cypress’s stock purchase assistance plan. Management releases a portion of the allowance based on a review of the status of the outstanding loans. Management excludes this non-cash benefit from the non-GAAP measures because it does not relate to Cypress’s core business or impact its operating performance. Adjustment of this item allows investors to better compare Cypress’s period-over-period operating results.

  • Inventory reserve for last time build inventory.

In connection with the exit of the Texas facility, Cypress completed a last time build of a substantial volume of inventory for certain products that were manufactured at this facility. During the fourth quarter of 2008, Cypress determined a demand reserve against this inventory was needed due to the continuing deteriorating economic conditions. This item is excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because such expense has not historically occurred in every quarter, which would affect the ability of investors to compare Cypress’s period-over-period operating results. In addition management does not believe that this item is indicative of the ongoing operating performance of Cypress’s business.

  • Impairment of assets.

Cypress wrote off the net book values of certain manufacturing equipment in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Cypress excluded this item because the non-cash expense was not reflective of its ongoing operating results. Excluding this data allows investors to better compare Cypress’s period-over-period performance without such non-cash expense.

  • Related tax effect.

Cypress adjusts for the income tax effect that resulted from the non-GAAP adjustments as described above.
