Business Outlook and Management Commentary
The Company expects net sales of $720 million to $800 million, GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.03 to $0.27 and non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.10 to $0.35 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 ending September 30, 2020. The company’s projections for GAAP and non-GAAP net income per diluted share both assume a tax rate of approximately 18% and a fully diluted share count of 56.3 million shares. The outlook for Q1 of fiscal year 2021 GAAP net income per diluted share includes approximately $5.0 million in expected stock-based compensation expense, one-time employee performance bonuses and controls remediation expenses, and other expense that are excluded from non-GAAP net income per diluted share.
"Our 5% year-over-year Q4 revenue growth in a very dynamic business environment demonstrates our continuing market engagement in Edge applications and with internet data center customers, both of which grew double-digits year-on-year,” said Charles Liang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We also delivered Q4 non-GAAP EPS that was relatively stable year-on-year despite elevated costs resulting from the impact of COVID-19 on our operations. While our Q1 outlook reflects continued pressures from unprecedented market developments, we are very encouraged as we look to the future, as the digital world continues to progress, evolve, and grow. We are using this period of disruption as an opportunity to invest in long-term growth and optimize our workforce and strategy. A key strategic action we are taking is shifting a greater portion of our
operations and R&D to our Taiwan campus, which will result in lower costs. We remain committed to re-accelerating our revenue growth and resuming our long history of market share gain.”
Share Repurchase Authorization
The Company also announced today that, its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $30 million of its common stock. The stock repurchase program is effective until December 31, 2020 or until the maximum amount of common stock is repurchased.
“By implementing this stock repurchase program, we can utilize our cash on hand to increase stockholder value while maintaining sufficient cash resources to fund our operations. The stock repurchase program reflects our ongoing commitment to improving the value of our common stock,” said Charles Liang, Chairman and CEO of the Company.
Stock repurchases may be made from time to time at prevailing prices in the open market, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan. There can be no assurance of how many shares will be repurchased, and the repurchase program may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined based on an evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Share repurchases will be funded with cash on hand.
The Company had approximately 52,436,981 shares of common stock outstanding on August 10, 2020.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Statements contained in this press release that are not historical fact may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements may relate to, among other things, the first quarter of the fiscal year 2021 guidance and the ability to execute on the company strategy during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Such forward-looking statements do not constitute guarantees of future performance and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including: (i) the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to present significant uncertainties for all parts of our business including our supply chain, our production operations and customer demand, (ii) our quarterly operating results may fluctuate, which could cause rapid declines in our stock price, (iii) as we increasingly target larger customers and larger sales opportunities, our customer base may become more concentrated, our cost of sales may increase, our margins may be lower and our sales may be less predictable, (iv) if we fail to meet publicly announced financial guidance or other expectations about our business, our stock could decline in value, (v) the average sales prices for our server solutions could decline if customers do not continue to purchase our latest generation products or additional components, and (vi) adverse economic conditions may harm our business. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or suggested in any forward-looking statements are contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those factors discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" in such filings, particularly in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our quarterly period ended March 31, 2020.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP gross margin discussed in this press release adds back stock-based compensation expense, one-time employee performance bonuses and other expenses. Non-GAAP operating expenses discussed in this press release adds back stock-based compensation expense, legal settlement costs, one-time employee performance bonuses, other expenses, and controls remediation. Non-GAAP income from operations discussed in this press release adds back stock-based compensation expense, legal settlement costs, one-time employee performance bonuses, other expenses and controls remediation. Non-GAAP diluted net income and non-GAAP net income per common share discussed in this press release adds back stock-based compensation expense, one-time employee performance bonuses, legal settlement costs, other expenses, controls remediation, impairment of investment, and less the related tax effects of the applicable items. Management presents non-GAAP financial measures
because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the Company's performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. Management also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the Company's financial and operational performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of gross margin to non-GAAP gross margin and from diluted net income per common share to non-GAAP diluted net income per common share is included in the tables below.
Financial Statements are Preliminary
As the Company has not yet finished its year-end annual close procedures, and the audit of its fiscal year 2020 consolidated financial statements is not complete, the anticipated financial information presented in this press release is preliminary, subject to final year-end closing adjustments, and may change materially. The information presented above has not been audited by the Company’s independent accountants, should not be considered a substitute for audited financial statements, and should not be regarded as a representation by the Company as to the actual financial results for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2020 or the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
