Power Integrations Reports Third-Quarter Financial Results

10/28/2021

Revenues increased 46 percent year-over-year to $176.8 million; GAAP earnings were $0.69 per diluted share; non-GAAP earnings were $0.84 per diluted share

Quarterly dividend rises to $0.15 per share; $50M added to repurchase authorization

Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Net revenues for the third quarter of 2021 were $176.8 million, down two percent compared to the prior quarter and up 46 percent from the third quarter of 2020. Net income for the third quarter was $42.0 million or $0.69 per diluted share compared to $0.68 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $0.24 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2020. Cash flow from operations for the third quarter was $58.7 million.

In addition to its GAAP results, the company provided certain non-GAAP measures that exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and the tax effects of these items. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $51.8 million or $0.84 per diluted share compared with $0.83 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $0.40 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2020. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results is included with the tables accompanying this press release.

Commented Balu Balakrishnan, president and CEO of Power Integrations: “We delivered another quarter of strong growth in revenues, earnings and cash flows. For the first nine months of 2021 our revenues were up 57 percent, and we are on track to outgrow the analog semiconductor industry by a wide margin this year thanks to broad market-share gains, strong uptake of our highly integrated GaN products, and secular trends such as energy efficiency, electrification, smart homes and appliances, and advanced chargers for mobile devices.”

Additional Highlights

  • The company paid a cash dividend of $0.13 per share on September 30, 2021. The company’s board of directors has declared a dividend of $0.15 per share to be paid on December 31, 2021 to stockholders of record as of November 30, 2021.
  • Power Integrations repurchased approximately 120,000 shares of its common stock during the quarter for $9.8 million. The company had approximately $55 million remaining on its repurchase authorization at quarter-end; the company’s board of directors has subsequently allocated an additional $50 million for share repurchases bringing the total allocation to approximately $105 million.

Financial Outlook

The company issued the following forecast for the fourth quarter of 2021:

  • Revenues are expected to be $170 million plus or minus $5 million.
  • Gross margins are expected to be similar to the third-quarter levels.
  • GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $49.5 million; non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $40 million. Non-GAAP expenses are expected to exclude approximately $9.3 million of stock-based compensation and $0.2 million of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the company's consolidated financial statements, which are presented according to GAAP, the company provides certain non-GAAP financial information that excludes stock-based compensation expenses recorded under ASC 718-10, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and the tax effects of these items. The company uses these measures in its financial and operational decision-making and, with respect to one measure, in setting performance targets for compensation purposes. The company believes that these non-GAAP measures offer important analytical tools to help investors understand its operating results, and to facilitate comparability with the results of companies that provide similar measures. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial information. For example, stock-based compensation is an important component of the company’s compensation mix, and will continue to result in significant expenses in the company’s GAAP results for the foreseeable future, but is not reflected in the non-GAAP measures. Also, other companies, including companies in Power Integrations’ industry, may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures are attached to this press release.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The above statements regarding the company’s forecast for its fourth-quarter financial performance are forward-looking statements reflecting management's current expectations and beliefs. These forward-looking statements are based on current information that is, by its nature, subject to rapid and even abrupt change. Due to risks and uncertainties associated with the company's business, actual results could differ materially from those projected or implied by these statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on demand for the company’s products, its ability to supply products and its ability to conduct other aspects of its business such as competing for new design wins; changes in global macroeconomic conditions, including changing tariffs and uncertainty regarding trade negotiations, which may impact the level of demand for the company’s products; potential changes and shifts in customer demand away from end products that utilize the company's integrated circuits to end products that do not incorporate the company's products; the effects of competition, which may cause the company’s revenues to decrease or cause the company to decrease its selling prices for its products; unforeseen costs and expenses; and unfavorable fluctuations in component costs or operating expenses resulting from changes in commodity prices and/or exchange rates. In addition, new product introductions and design wins are subject to the risks and uncertainties that typically accompany development and delivery of complex technologies to the marketplace, including product development delays and defects and market acceptance of the new products. These and other risk factors that may cause actual results to differ are more fully explained under the caption “Risk Factors” in the company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 5, 2021. The company is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any obligation) to update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
