ISSI (MM)

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISSI) today reported its financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009. Revenue in the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $38.9 million, a 24.5% increase from revenue of $31.3 million in the March 2009 quarter and a 33.5% decrease from revenue of $58.5 million in the June 2008 quarter. Gross margin for the third quarter was 25.1%, compared with 20.7% in the March 2009 quarter and 22.8% in the June 2008 quarter. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations," the Company recorded a charge of $1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to recognize the fair value of in-process R&D from its acquisition of Enable Semiconductor. Reflecting the in-process R&D charge, the Company reported a net loss for the third quarter of $2.7 million or ($0.10) per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, without the effect of the in-process R&D charge, the net loss in the third quarter was $1.2 million, or ($0.05) per diluted share. These results compare with a GAAP net loss for the March 2009 quarter of $3.8 million, or ($0.15) per diluted share. The company reported GAAP net income for the June 2008 quarter of $2.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP and Non-GAAP results is included as part of this release. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $71.6 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $44.0 million at March 31, 2009. Additionally, long-term investments totaled $1.5 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $21.1 million at March 31, 2009. This change was the result of the reclassification of $20.0 million in auction rate securities from long-term investments to short-term investments in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company's inventory at June 30, 2009 totaled $16.6 million, a reduction of $11.0 million from March 31, 2009. The Company generated $10.3 million in cash flow from operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. "End market demand strengthened during the June quarter and we experienced a more moderate pricing environment. As a result, we significantly grew our revenue over the March 2009 quarter and increased our gross margin to its highest level in several years," said Scott Howarth, ISSI's President and CEO. "During the June quarter, we took further actions to strengthen our business during this economic downturn. We successfully completed our acquisition of Enable Semiconductor, significantly reduced our inventory, and continued to improve our overall cost structure. Our balance sheet remains very strong as we had $73.1 million in cash and investments at June 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 loss for the June 2009 quarter that excludes the in-process R&D charge. 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 in-process R&D 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 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 in-process R&D. 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.
