IDT Reports Fiscal 2019 Q3 Financial Results

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT^®) (NASDAQ: IDTI) today announced results for the fiscal third quarter 2019, ended December 30, 2018 with revenues of $240.6 million; GAAP EPS of $0.16 and non-GAAP EPS of $0.50.  

On September 10, 2018, IDT, a leading supplier of high-performance system-level analog/mixed-signal semiconductors, and Renesas Electronics Corporation ("Renesas", TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, announced that they have signed a definitive agreement under which Renesas will acquire IDT for US$49.00 per share in an all-cash transaction representing an equity value of approximately US$6.7 billion (approximately 733.0 billion yen at an exchange rate of 110 yen to the dollar). The acquisition combines two recognized leaders in embedded processors and analog mixed-signal semiconductors, each with unique strengths in delivering products to improve performance and efficiency in high-performance electronic systems. The boards of directors of both companies have unanimously approved the transaction.

At the Company's special meeting of stockholders held on January 15, 2019, IDT stockholders voted to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 10, 2018, by and between IDT and Renesas Electronics Corporation.

On December 21, 2018, IDT reported that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) review regarding national security concerns relating to the Merger was underway and the initial 45-day review period would conclude by January 2, 2019. The review relating to International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) for the deal was underway and would conclude by January 6, 2019. Due to the U.S. government shutdown that commenced in December 2018, both reviews will resume following the resumption of operations by the relevant U.S. government agencies.

The two companies have already received regulatory antitrust approval for the proposed transaction from China, Germany, Hungary, and Korea. In addition, the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, in connection with the proposed acquisition expired at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 22, 2018.  Closing of the transaction is expected to occur in the first half of calendar 2019, following customary closing conditions and approval by relevant regulatory authorities.

Due to the pending acquisition by Renesas, IDT management will not be hosting an investor conference call and will not provide forward-looking guidance.  Investors are requested to review our IR web site for the quarterly financial highlights and SEC filings for the latest updates on the pending deal.

Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements in this release, including but not limited to statements regarding demand for Company products, anticipated trends in Company sales, expenses and profits, involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Risks include, but are not limited to, global business and economic conditions, fluctuations in product demand, manufacturing capacity and costs, inventory management, competition, pricing, patent and other intellectual property rights of third parties, timely development and introduction of new products and manufacturing processes, dependence on one or more customers for a significant portion of sales, successful integration of acquired businesses and technology, availability of capital, cash flow and other risk factors detailed in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this release and the Company disclaims any duty to update such statements.

Non-GAAP Reporting

To supplement its consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, IDT uses non-GAAP financial measures, which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to exclude certain items, as described in detail below. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional and useful way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed in conjunction with IDT's GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the various factors and trends affecting the Company's business and operations. It should also be noted that IDT's non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures used by IDT include:

• Cost of revenues;
• Gross profit;
• Research and development expenses;
• Selling, general and administrative expenses;
• Interest and other income (expense);
• Benefit from (provision for) income taxes;
• Operating income
• Net income (loss);
• Diluted net income (loss) per share; and
• Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted

The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures because the investor community uses non-GAAP results in its analysis and comparison of historical results and projections of the Company's future operating results. These non-GAAP results exclude acquisition-related expense, restructuring and divestiture related costs (gains), share-based compensation expense, and certain other expenses and benefits. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to manage and assess the profitability of the business. These non-GAAP results are also consistent with the way management internally analyzes IDT's financial results.

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. 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 to Non-GAAP" tables in the accompanying press release, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items:

Acquisition-related.  Acquisition-related charges are not factored into management's evaluation of potential acquisitions or IDT's performance after completion of acquisitions, because they are not related to the Company's core operating performance. Adjustments of these items provide investors with a basis to compare IDT's performance to other companies without the variability caused by purchase accounting. Acquisition-related expenses primarily include:

• Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, which include acquired intangibles such as purchased technology, patents, customer relationships, trademarks, backlog and non-compete agreements.
• Acquisition-related costs such as legal, accounting and other professional or consulting fees directly related to an acquisition by the Company.
• Merger-related expenses such as legal, financial advisory and other fees and expenses associated with pending Renesas acquisition.
• Fair market value adjustment to acquired inventory sold.

Restructuring-related.  Restructuring charges primarily relate to changes in IDT's infrastructure in efforts to reduce costs and expenses (gains) associated with strategic divestitures and restructuring in force actions.  Restructuring charges (gains) are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not considered core operating activities. Although IDT 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 (gains) from IDT's non-GAAP financial measures as it enhances the ability of investors to compare the Company's period-over-period operating results.  Restructuring-related charges (gains) primarily include:

• Severance costs directly related to a restructuring action.
• Facility closure costs consist of ongoing costs associated with the exit of our leased and owned facilities.
• Gain on divestiture consists of gains recognized upon the strategic sale of business units.
• Assets impairments including accelerated depreciation and amortization of certain assets no longer in use or related to discontinued product lines.

Other adjustments.  These items are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not related to the core operating activities and on-going future operating performance of IDT. Excluding this data allows investors to better compare IDT's period-over-period performance without such expense, which IDT believes may be useful to the investor community. 

Other adjustments primarily include:

• Stock based compensation expense.
• Compensation expense (benefit) – deferred compensation, consists of gains and losses on marketable equity securities related to our deferred compensation arrangements.
• Non-cash interest expense, consists of amortization of issuance cost and accretion of discount related to the convertible notes.
• Loss (gain) on deferred compensation plan securities represents the changes in the fair value of the assets in a separate trust that is invested in corporate owned life insurance under our deferred compensation plan.
• Loss on available-for-sale securities which is due to the actual and anticipated liquidation of these investments, that will be used to fully settle the Term B-1 loan prior to the merger with Renesas.
• Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from remeasurement of certain non-functional currency account balances.
• Tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments:  The non-GAAP tax calculation eliminates the effects of certain non-GAAP financial measures in order to provide investors with improved modeling accuracy and consistency across financial reporting periods. The Company forecasts its annual non-GAAP tax rate and makes adjustments for significant events including stock based compensation, acquisition and restructuring related items, and material tax law changes in the major tax jurisdictions in which the company operates. 
• Diluted weighted average shares non-GAAP adjustment, for purposes of calculating non-GAAP diluted net income per share, the GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding is adjusted to exclude the benefits of stock compensation expense attributable to future services not yet recognized in the financial statements that are treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury method.
