year.
-
GAAP net income of $7.7 million, down 8.6% from the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2013 and up 756.4% from the same quarter of last year.
-
GAAP gross margin of 15.1%, up from 14.3% in the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2013 and up from 12.9% in the same quarter of last year.
-
Server solutions accounted for 46.4% of net sales compared with 47.4%
in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 and 39.5% in the same
quarter of last year.
Net sales for the first quarter ended September 30, 2013 totaled $309.0
million, down 4.1% from $322.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal
year 2013. No customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during
the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $7.7
million or $0.17 per diluted share, an increase of 756.4% from the net
income of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in the same period a
year ago. Included in net income for the quarter is $2.6 million of
stock-based compensation expense (pre-tax). Excluding this item and the
related tax effect, non-GAAP net income for the first quarter was $9.9
million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of
$3.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the same quarter of the
prior year. On a sequential basis, non-GAAP net income decreased from
the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 by $1.4 million or $0.04 per
diluted share.
GAAP gross margin for the first quarter was 15.1% compared to 12.9% in
the same period a year ago. Non-GAAP gross margin for the first quarter
was 15.2% compared to 13.0% in the same period a year ago. GAAP gross
margin and Non-GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2013 were 14.3% and 14.4%, respectively.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents and short and long term
investments at September 30, 2013 were $114.2 million compared to $95.7
million at June 30, 2013. Free cash flow for the three months ended
September 30, 2013 was $16.4 million, primarily due to a decrease in
accounts receivable.
Business Outlook & Management Commentary
The Company expects net sales of $320 million to $350 million for the
second quarter of fiscal year 2014 ending December 31, 2013. The Company
expects non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.25 to
$0.31 for the second quarter.
"Our first quarter results continued our growth momentum for the start
of this new fiscal year by growing revenue 14.2% year over year. Our
FatTwin and MicroCloud solutions for data centers were in strong demand
and our GPU, Xeon Phi and storage solutions continue to outperform the
industry. We are pleased with our performance given the transition
period ahead of new technology. We are also pleased that we are making
good progress toward reaching our margin goals," said Charles Liang,
Chairman and CEO. "Looking ahead, we are again first to market with the
broadest array of new Ivy Bridge solutions in the industry and we will
use this position together with our global foundation to take full
advantage of the market share opportunities."
It is currently expected that the outlook will not be updated until the
Company's next quarterly earnings announcement, notwithstanding
subsequent developments. However, the Company may update the outlook or
any portion thereof at any time. Such updates will take place only by
way of a news release or other broadly disseminated disclosure available
to all interested parties in accordance with Regulation FD.

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, among other
things, to our expected financial and operating results, our ability to
build and grow Super Micro Computer, the benefits of our products and
our ability to achieve our goals, plans and objectives. 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. These include, but are not limited to: our dependence on
continued growth in the markets for X86, blade servers and embedded
applications, increased competition, difficulties of predicting timing,
introduction and customer acceptance of new products, poor product
sales, difficulties in establishing and maintaining successful
relationships with our distributors and vendors, shortages or price
fluctuations in our supply chain, our ability to protect our
intellectual property rights, our ability to control the rate of
expansion domestically and internationally, difficulty managing rapid
growth and general political, economic and market conditions and events.
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.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP gross margin discussed in this press release excludes
stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income and net income per
share discussed in this press release exclude stock-based compensation
expense and the related tax effect 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. Pursuant to the requirements
of SEC Regulation G, detailed reconciliations between the Company's GAAP
and non-GAAP financial results is provided at the end of this press
release. Investors are advised to carefully review and consider this
information as well as the GAAP financial results that are disclosed in
the Company's SEC filings.
