SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI), a global leader in
high-performance, high-efficiency server, storage technology and green
computing, today announced first quarter fiscal 2016 financial results
for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The final results are in line
with the preliminary results announced by the Company on October 8, 2015.
Fiscal 1st Quarter Highlights
-
Quarterly net sales of $530.2 million, down 7.6% from the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2015 and up 19.6% from the same quarter of last
year.
-
GAAP net income of $20.5 million, down 23.2% from the fourth quarter
of fiscal year 2015 and down 1.8% from the same quarter of last year.
-
GAAP gross margin was 15.6% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016,
the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015 and the same quarter of last
year.
-
Server solutions accounted for 69.2% of net sales compared with 61.7%
in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015 and 57.7% in the same
quarter of last year.
Net sales for the first quarter ended September 30, 2015 totaled $530.2
million, down 7.6% from $573.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal
year 2015. One customer accounted for 11.9% of net sales during the
quarter ended September 30, 2015.
GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was $20.5
million or $0.40 per diluted share, a decrease of 1.8% from net income
of $20.9 million, or $0.42 per diluted share in the same period a year
ago. Included in net income for the quarter is $3.9 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 $23.4
million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of
$23.2 million, or $0.46 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 2015 by $6.6 million or $0.12 per
diluted share.
GAAP gross margin was 15.6% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016,
the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015 and the same period a year ago.
Non-GAAP gross margin was 15.7% for the first quarter of fiscal year
2016, the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015 and the same period a year
ago.
The GAAP income tax provision was $11.3 million or 35.6% of income
before tax provision compared to $10.6 million or 33.7% in the same
period a year ago and $13.8 million or 34.1% in the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2015.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents and short and long term
investments at September 30, 2015 were $113.6 million compared to $98.1
million at June 30, 2015. Free cash flow for the three months ended
September 30, 2015 was $12.6 million, primarily due to an increase in
the Company's cash provided by operating activities and partially offset
by the cash used in the development and construction of improvements on
the Company's property.
Business Outlook & Management Commentary
The Company expects net sales of $580 million to $630 million for the
second quarter of fiscal year 2016 ending December 31, 2015. The Company
expects non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.54 to
$0.64 for the second quarter.
"As previously disclosed, first quarter revenue was lower than expected
due to stronger seasonal effects combined with customer push outs and
weaker European and Asia business activity. Nonetheless, with 19.6%
growth in a seasonally weak quarter, we are off to a strong start to
fiscal 2016. Our growth strategy for 2016 will be to continue to
introduce new technologies such as NVMe and all flash storage array to
evolve and grow key business verticals in Storage, Cloud/Internet
Datacenter, HPC, Embedded and Enterprise," said Charles Liang, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer. "With our system management software,
onsite service and system solution capacity are fully ready for the
worldwide market, we expect to continue our strong growth with over 20%
revenue growth for fiscal 2016."
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.
