"Our outstanding revenue performance is driven by our new product releases of the last two years", said Michael Hsing, CEO of MPS. "We are now seeing the dramatic top line and bottom line growth from these successful products."
Business Outlook
The following are MPS' financial targets for the third quarter ending September 30, 2010:
- Revenues in the range of $66.0 million to $70.0 million.
- Non-GAAP net profit at the mid to upper end of our new net margin target model of 22 to 27 percent of sales. Gross margin is likely to be in the range of 54 to 56 percent due to increased input costs.
- Research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses between $23.2 million and $24.7 million. Non-GAAP(1) research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses between $18.5 million and $19.5 million. This excludes an estimate of stock-based compensation expense in the range of $4.7 million to $5.2 million.
- Litigation expense in the range of $0.5 million to $0.7 million.
(1) Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net profit, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP research and development and selling, general and administrative expense differ from net income, operating expenses, and research and development and selling, general and administrative expense determined in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States). Non-GAAP net income for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 excludes the effect of stock-based compensation expense and their related tax effects. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense. Projected non-GAAP research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense. This information is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, information prepared using GAAP. A schedule reconciling these amounts is included at the end of this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. MPS utilizes both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to assess what it believes to be its core operating performance and to evaluate and manage its internal business and assist in making financial operating decisions. MPS believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures, together with GAAP measures, provides investors with an alternative presentation useful to investors' understanding of MPS' core operating results and trends. Additionally, MPS believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures, together with GAAP measures, provides investors with an additional dimension of comparability to similar companies. However, investors should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures utilized by other companies are not likely to be comparable in most cases to the non-GAAP financials measures used by MPS.
