SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Integrated
Silicon Solution, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISSI) today reported its financial
results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended
September 30, 2008. Revenue in the fourth fiscal quarter ended
September 30, 2008 was $55.3 million, a 5.4% decrease from revenue
of $58.5 million in the June 2008 quarter and a 12.6% decrease from
revenue of $63.3 million in the September 2007 quarter. Gross
margin for the fourth quarter was 24.2%, compared with 22.8% in the
June 2008 quarter and 20.2% in the September 2007 quarter. Based on
its annual impairment analysis performed in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the
Company recorded a non-cash charge of $25.3 million in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2008 to write-off the carrying amount of all of
its goodwill. A key indicator of this impairment was the Company's
market capitalization which had dropped below the Company's net
book value at fiscal year end. The goodwill write-off does not
affect the Company's day-to-day business operations, cash balance
or competitive position. Reflecting the goodwill charge, the
Company reported a net loss for the fourth quarter of $24.7 million
or ($0.92) per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, without the
effect of the goodwill charge, net income in the fourth quarter was
$0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. These results compare
with GAAP net income for the September 2007 fourth quarter of $3.3
million, or $0.09 per diluted share. Revenue in the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2008 was $235.2 million, a decrease of 4.1%
from revenue of $245.4 million in fiscal 2007. Gross margin for
fiscal 2008 was 22.6%, compared with 19.7% in fiscal 2007. Net loss
for fiscal 2008 was $17.8 million, or ($0.60) per diluted share
which included the $25.3 million goodwill write-off. On a non-GAAP
basis, without the effect of the goodwill charge, net income was
$7.6 million, or $0.25 per share. This compares to GAAP net income
of $15.4 million, or $0.40 per diluted share for fiscal 2007. The
Company had gains on sales of investments of $1.8 million in fiscal
2008 compared to gains of $12.0 million in fiscal 2007. The
Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled
$50.0 million at September 30, 2008, compared to $50.8 million at
June 30, 2008. In addition, the Company had long-term investments
of $19.3 million at September 30, 2008. The Company's inventory at
September 30, 2008 totaled $39.2 million, a reduction of $1.6
million from June 30, 2008. "End market demand weakened
considerably in the month of September due to the sudden worldwide
economic crisis. As a result, our DRAM revenue declined from the
prior quarter and we missed our revenue guidance. However, we were
able to achieve the highest quarterly gross margin in several
years," said Scott Howarth, ISSI's President and CEO. "For the
year, we increased our non-commodity revenue by 8% over fiscal
2007, increased margins, and remained profitable, excluding the
goodwill impairment, during a difficult period in the DRAM
industry, and now a difficult economy worldwide. Our balance sheet
remains very strong as we had $69.3 million in cash and investments
at September 30," added Mr. Howarth. Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with
GAAP, ISSI has disclosed in this press release its non-GAAP net
income for the September quarter and fiscal year 2008 that excludes
a goodwill write-off. When presenting non-GAAP results, the Company
includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to the results
under GAAP. Management believes that including the non-GAAP results
assists investors in assessing the Company's operational
performance and its performance relative to its competitors. The
Company has presented these non-GAAP results as a complement to its
results provided in accordance with GAAP, and these results should
not be regarded as a substitute for GAAP. Management uses these
non-GAAP measures to manage and assess the profitability and
performance of its business and does not consider the goodwill
write-off which is a non-cash charge in managing its operations.
Specifically, management uses non-GAAP measures to plan and
forecast future periods, to establish operational goals, to compare
with its business plan and individual operating budgets, to measure
management performance for purposes of executive compensation
including payments to be made under bonus plans, to assist the
public in measuring the Company's performance, to allocate
resources and, relative to the Company's historical financial
performance, to enable comparability between periods. Management
also considers such non-GAAP results to be an important
supplemental measure of its performance. The economic substance
behind management's decision to use such non-GAAP measures relates
to the goodwill charge being non-cash in nature and the non-GAAP
measures being a useful measure of the potential future performance
of the Company's business. In line with common industry practice
and to help enable comparability with other technology companies,
the Company's non-GAAP presentation excludes the impact of the
goodwill write-off. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP results
differently than the Company, limiting its usefulness as a
comparative measure. In addition, such non-GAAP measures may
exclude financial information that some may consider important in
evaluating the Company's performance. Management compensates for
the foregoing limitations of non-GAAP measures by presenting
certain information on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis and providing
reconciliations of these certain GAAP and non-GAAP measures.
