Second Quarter Fiscal 2021
Financial Results
Page 2
GAAP net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 were $1.31 billion, down 2.1% from net sales of $1.338 billion in the prior year’s second fiscal quarter.
GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was $73.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, down from GAAP net income of $108.9 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the prior year’s second fiscal quarter. For the second quarters of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, GAAP net income was significantly adversely impacted by purchase accounting adjustments associated with our acquisitions.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was $416.4 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, up from non-GAAP net income of $365.7 million, or $1.43 per diluted share, in the prior year’s second fiscal quarter. For the second quarters of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, our non-GAAP results exclude the effect of share-based compensation, COVID-19 shelter-in-place restrictions on manufacturing activities, expenses related to our acquisition activities (including intangible asset amortization, severance and other restructuring costs, and legal and other general and administrative expenses associated with acquisitions including legal fees and expenses for litigation and investigations related to our Microsemi acquisition), professional services associated with certain legal matters, IT security remediation costs, non-cash interest expense on our convertible debentures, losses on the settlement of debt, and gains related to available-for-sale investments. For the second quarters of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, our non-GAAP income tax expense is presented based on projected cash taxes for the applicable fiscal year, excluding transition tax payments under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP and GAAP results is included in this press release.
Microchip announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a record quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of 36.85 cents per share. The quarterly dividend is payable on December 4, 2020 to stockholders of record on November 20, 2020.
“The September quarter continued to demonstrate what the best of the Microchip culture and its employees represent,” said Steve Sanghi, Chief Executive Officer. “Our global team all came together in the middle of a global pandemic, while working with a pay cut, and delivered superb performance during the quarter.”
Mr. Sanghi added, “Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, we delivered $1.31 billion of net sales which was essentially flat on a sequential basis compared to our September 9, 2020 updated guidance which was for net sales to be down between 2% to 6%. We also delivered outstanding non-GAAP gross margin of 62.2% and non-GAAP operating margin of 39.2%. We achieved non-GAAP EPS of $1.56 which was 15 cents above the midpoint of our updated guidance.”

“In the September quarter, we saw the automotive, industrial and consumer home appliance markets start their recovery,” said Ganesh Moorthy, President and Chief Operating Officer. “Medical devices for elective procedures which experienced a slow-down in the June quarter as individuals and hospitals delayed elective procedures, also started their recovery in the September quarter. As expected, we saw the work from home related markets of computing and data center, as well as medical devices for hospitals, revert to more normal demand patterns as the surge we saw in the June quarter dissipated. In general, enterprise demand remains weak as most businesses remain predominantly with work from home policies, thus deferring enterprise spending for the office environment.”
Mr. Moorthy added, “During the September quarter we began to experience rising constraints in our supply chain due to the confluence of a number of factors. Despite these constraints, our operations team executed extremely well to meet the strong demand we saw which enabled us to achieve our strong results. The supply chain constraints are continuing into the December quarter. At times like this we are fortunate to have our internal factory capabilities, and we are making strategic capacity investments, to better position our business for growth.”
Eric Bjornholt, Microchip’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “We continued to aggressively pay down our debt with another $331.1 million of payments during the September quarter, reflecting a cumulative debt pay down of $2.95 billion over the past nine quarters, as we have actively managed the working capital requirements for the business. In the September quarter, we also exchanged $796.1 million of our 2025 and 2027 convertible senior subordinated notes for cash and shares of our common stock. While these transactions did not impact the overall level of debt on our balance sheet, we believe that these convertible exchanges will benefit stockholders by significantly reducing share count dilution to the extent our stock price appreciates over time.”
Mr. Sanghi concluded, “Our September quarter bookings were strong and have continued that way through October. We are seeing good recovery in many of our markets and despite our stopping shipments to Huawei for the full December quarter, we expect our net sales in the December quarter to be flat to up 5% sequentially. Additionally, we now believe that the June and September quarters were the bottom of this business cycle for Microchip. We are guiding to a much stronger than seasonal December quarter and we expect significant revenue growth in calendar year 2021.”

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2021 Outlook:
The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. We are not able to predict whether inventory at our distributors will increase or decrease during the quarter and are therefore providing a range of GAAP net sales guidance. In recent years, we have seen net inventory at our distributors increase or decrease by a significant amount in a single quarter.

| • | Capital expenditures for the quarter ending December 31, 2020 are expected to be about $35 million. Capital expenditures for all of fiscal 2021 are expected to be between $110 million and $120 million. We are continuing to invest in the equipment needed to support the growth of our production capabilities for fast-growing new products and technologies and to bring in-house some of our wafer fabrication, assembly and test operations that are currently outsourced. |
Under the new GAAP revenue recognition standard which we adopted on April 1, 2018, we are required to recognize revenue when control of the product changes from us to a customer or distributor. We focus our sales and marketing efforts on creating demand for our products in the end markets we serve and not on moving inventory into our distribution network. Therefore, the elements of our internal performance and executive and employee compensation metrics that are based on sales and operating results are measured using the value of the end-market demand for our products. We use end-market demand for these purposes because we do not believe that the underlying value of our business benefits from increases in the value of inventory that is held in the supply chain. As many of our products are designed into customer applications with relatively long lives, such value is only realized when the end-market demand is created and the supply chain sells the inventory to the end customer. We define end-market demand as the net dollar amount of our products, licensing revenue and other services delivered to our direct (non-distributor) customers and by our distributors to their customers. We are able to calculate end-market demand based on information that our distributors provide us about their product shipments to their customers and inventory holdings. The value of end-market demand from our distributors is calculated as the net transaction value of these shipments. We believe that our end-market demand metric reflects true end-market demand based on when product is sold to direct customers or by our distributors to an end customer. We believe the use of end-market demand is also important to investors and users of our financial statements as it reflects the final outcome of our sales activities whereas our GAAP net sales are based on estimates made earlier in (or before the end of) the process of creating and fulfilling demand is complete. We also manage our manufacturing and supply chain operations, including our distributor relationships, towards the goal of having our products available at the time and location the end customer desires. Management uses end-market demand to manage and assess the profitability of our business and when developing and monitoring our budgets and spending. Many of our investors have requested that we disclose end-market demand metric because they believe it is useful in understanding our performance as it provides better information regarding end-market demand for our products. Therefore, we believe that it is useful to investors for us to disclose end-market demand. Our determination of end-market demand metric might not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Our non-GAAP adjustments, where applicable, include the effect of share-based compensation, COVID-19 shelter-in-place restrictions on manufacturing activities, expenses related to our acquisition activities (including intangible asset amortization, severance and other restructuring costs, and legal and other general and administrative expenses associated with acquisitions including legal fees and expenses for litigation and investigations related to our Microsemi acquisition), professional services associated with certain legal matters, IT security remediation costs, non-cash interest expense on our convertible debentures, losses on the settlement of debt, and gains related to available-for-sale investments. For the second quarters of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, our non-GAAP income tax expense is presented based on projected cash taxes for the fiscal year, excluding transition tax payments under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
We are required to estimate the cost of certain forms of share-based compensation, including employee stock options, restricted stock units and our employee stock purchase plan, and to record a commensurate expense in our income statement. Share-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is affected by the price of our stock at the date of grant. The price of our stock is affected by market forces that are difficult to predict and are not within the control of management. Our other non-GAAP adjustments are either non-cash expenses, unusual or infrequent items or other expenses related to transactions. Management excludes all of these items from its internal operating forecasts and models.
We are using non-GAAP operating expenses in dollars including non-GAAP research and development expenses and non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP other expense, net, and non-GAAP income tax rate, which exclude the items noted above, as applicable, to permit additional analysis of our performance.
Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they enhance the understanding of our historical financial performance and comparability between periods. Many of our investors have requested that we disclose this non-GAAP information because they believe it is useful in understanding our performance as it excludes non-cash and other charges that many investors feel may obscure our underlying operating results. Management uses non-GAAP measures to manage and assess the profitability of our business and for compensation purposes. We also use our non-GAAP results when developing and monitoring our budgets and spending. Our determination of these non-GAAP measures might not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it should not be construed as a substitute for amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations associated with using these non-GAAP measures, including that they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. Management compensates for this by presenting information on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for investors and providing reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP results.

Generally, gross margin fluctuates over time, driven primarily by the mix of products sold and licensing revenue; variances in manufacturing yields; fixed cost absorption; wafer fab loading levels; costs of wafers from foundries; inventory reserves; pricing pressures in our non-proprietary product lines; and competitive and economic conditions. Operating expenses fluctuate over time, primarily due to net sales and profit levels.
Diluted Common Shares Outstanding can vary for, among other things, the trading price of our common stock, the exercise of options or vesting of restricted stock units, the potential for incremental dilutive shares from our convertible debentures (additional information regarding our share count is available in the investor relations section of our website under the heading “Supplemental Financial Information”), and repurchases or issuances of shares of our common stock. The diluted common shares outstanding presented in the guidance table above assumes an average Microchip stock price in the December 2020 quarter between $105 and $115 per share (however, we make no prediction as to what our actual share price will be for such period or any other period and we cannot estimate what our stock option exercise activity will be during the quarter).

Cautionary Statement:
The statements in this release relating to continuing to demonstrate what the best of the Microchip culture and its employees represent, that the automotive, industrial and consumer home appliance markets start their recovery, that medical devices also started their recovery in the September quarter, that the work from home related markets of computing and data center, as well as medical devices for hospitals, revert to more normal demand patterns as the surge we saw in the June quarter dissipated, that enterprise demand remains weak as most businesses remain predominantly with work from home policies, thus deferring enterprise spending for the office environment, beginning to experience rising constraints in our supply chain due to the confluence of a number of factors, that the supply chain constraints are continuing into the December quarter, making strategic capacity investments, to better position our business for growth, actively managed the working capital requirements for the business, that we believe that these convertible exchanges will benefit stockholders by significantly reducing share count dilution to the extent our stock price appreciates over time, seeing good recovery in many of our markets, that we expect our net sales in the December 2020 quarter to be flat to up 5% sequentially, that we now believe that the June and September quarters were the bottom of this business cycle for Microchip, that we are guiding to a much stronger than seasonal December quarter and we expect significant revenue growth in calendar year 2021, our third quarter fiscal 2021 guidance for net sales and GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, other expense, net, income tax provision, net income, diluted common shares outstanding, earnings per diluted share, expected inventory days in the December 2020 quarter, capital expenditures for the December 2020 quarter and for all of fiscal 2021, continuing to invest in the equipment needed to support the growth of our production capabilities for fast-growing new products and technologies and to bring in-house some of our wafer fabrication, assembly and test operations that are currently outsourced, our belief that our end-market demand metric reflects true end-market demand based on when product is sold to direct customers or by our distributors to an end customer and our assumed average stock price in the December 2020 quarter are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially, including, but not limited to: any
