InvenSense Announces Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2015 Results
Company Generates Record Revenue of $90.2 Million
SAN JOSE, California, October 28, 2014 InvenSense, Inc. (NYSE:INVN), the leading provider of intelligent sensor solutions, today announced results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, ended Sept. 28, 2014.
Net revenue for the second quarter fiscal 2015 was $90.2 million, up 35 percent from $66.7 million for the first quarter fiscal 2015.
Gross margin determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was 35 percent, compared with 47 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2015. GAAP gross margin for second quarter fiscal 2015 included stockbased compensation and related payroll taxes, and amortization of acquisition intangibles.
Excluding these items, nonGAAP gross margin for the second quarter fiscal 2015 was 37 percent, compared with 50 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The sequential decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to two factors: a nonrecurring inventory charge largely related to earlier generations of the company’s products that reduced the gross margin by approximately eight percentage points, and a shift in revenue mix towards lower margin, high volume customers that reduced the gross margin by approximately five percentage points.
GAAP net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $6.9 million, or 8 cents per share. By comparison, GAAP net loss was $4.8 million, or 5 cents per share for the first quarter fiscal 2015.
GAAP net loss for second quarter fiscal 2015 included stockbased compensation and related payroll taxes, accretion interest expense on convertible notes, amortization of acquisition intangibles, a writeoff of inprocess research and development costs in connection with the company’s acquisition of the microphone business line of Analog Devices, Inc. in fiscal 2014, business acquisition costs, litigation expenses, which were partially offset by a gain on the company’s equity investment in Trusted Positioning, Inc., and income tax effect of nonGAAP adjustments.
Excluding the items described above, nonGAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $4.9 million or 5 cents per diluted share, compared with $7.0 million or 8 cents per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2015.
The reconciliation between GAAP and nonGAAP financial results for all referenced periods is provided in a table immediately following the Unaudited GAAP Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations below.
Management Qualitative Comments
“This is an exciting time for our company,” said Behrooz Abdi, president and CEO. “Q2 was a record revenue quarter, with the North America region leading our growth. During the quarter, we successfully ramped several key design wins, leveraging our strategic inventory of second- generation 6axis products in order to meet demand for both our second and third generation devices. With strong market share gain in mobile, our team has executed on the first step in our growth strategy, while our investment in content increase has delivered a full portfolio of differentiated products that we believe will provide meaningful growth opportunity for years to come. As we move beyond the second quarter’s inventory adjustment, we believe that our solid business model will allow us to drive improved earnings leverage and shareholder return in the coming quarters.”

Note Regarding Use of NonGAAP Financial Measures
As discussed above, in addition to the company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which are presented according to GAAP, the company provides certain nonGAAP financial information that excludes, stockbased compensation expense, litigation expense, business acquisition costs, amortization of fair value writeup of acquired inventory, amortization of acquisitionrelated intangible assets, accretion interest expense on convertible notes and other nonGAAP financial adjustments. The company uses these nonGAAP measures in its own financial and operational decisionmaking processes. Further, the company believes that these financial and operational decisionmaking processes. Further, the company believes that these nonGAAP measures offer an important analytical tool to help investors understand the company’s core operating results and trends, and to facilitate comparability with the operating results of other companies that provide similar nonGAAP measures. These nonGAAP measures have certain limitations as analytical tools and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial information. For example, stockbased 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 nonGAAP measures. Also, other companies, including companies in InvenSense’s industry, may calculate nonGAAP financial measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
