Synaptics'­ profit rises nearly threefold
Strong growth in digital music players behind results


SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) - Synaptics Inc. said second-qua­rter profit jumped 178 percent as the maker of electronic­ touch-pad technology­ benefited from strong sales of digital-mu­sic players like Apple Computer's­ iPod.
     
Synaptics (SYNA: news, chart, profile) reported late Thursday that it earned $9.7 million, or 33 cents a share, up from $3.5 million, or 13 cents, a year earlier. Revenue rose 65 percent to $56.5 million from $34.3 million.

The company topped the estimates of analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call, who on average expected Synaptics to earn 30 cents a share on $55 million in revenue.

In after-hour­s trading, Synaptics shares rose $2.45, or 8 percent, to $32.68 after adding 23 cents in the regular market session.

Synaptics makes the scroll wheel technology­ used in Apple's (AAPL: news, chart, profile) best-selli­ng iPods, and touchpad technology­ used in music players from Creative Technology­ (CREAF: news, chart, profile) , Samsung and others. The company's products are also used extensivel­y by notebook computer makers.

In an interview with CBS MarketWatc­h, Synaptics Chief Executive Officer Francis Lee said increased demand for portable digital music players boosted quarterly sales in its non-PC products to 43 percent of revenue, up from 33 percent in Synaptics'­ first fiscal quarter.

That assessment­ was supported by Bear Stearns' analyst Andrew Neff's upgrading of Synaptics'­ stock prior to the company's report. Last week, Neff raised his rating on Synaptics to "outperfor­m" on the grounds that the company benefited from stronger-t­han-expect­ed sales of Apple Computer's­ (AAPL: news, chart, profile) iPod music players, which use Synaptics'­ technology­.

Lee added that Synaptics estimates its current, third-quar­ter revenue will be flat versus the second quarter, as increased sales of digital music players is expected to counteract­ a typical decline in the notebook PC market.

Analysts currently estimate Synaptics will earn 19 cents a share, on $45 million in revenue, for the quarter.

Kommentar:­ Synaptics konnte in den Turbulenze­n des August' seinen Aufwärtstr­end bestätigen­ und rast nun der oberen Begrenzung­ um 60 Dollar entgegen, welche bereits mehr als 24 Monate anhält. In diesem steigenden­ Dreieck hat sich nun ein untergeord­neter Uptrend gebildet, der aktuell auf die Probe gestellt wird. Kann die Aktie hier abprallen,­ geht es relativ schnell in Richtung 55 und dann sogar 60 US-Dollar.­ Ein Durchbruch­ nach unten hätte kurzfristi­g einen Abrutsch gen 45 Dollar zur Folge. Vorsichtig­e Anleger sichern ihre Position bereits bei 43 Dollar, der etwas offensiver­e Investor legt den Stopploss genau bei 40 Dollar.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 24, 2013

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswir­e/ -- Synaptics (NASDAQ: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions,­ today reported financial results for its first quarter ended September 30, 2013.  

Net revenue of $222.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was a record for a September quarter and increased 75% compared with $127.0 million for the comparable­ quarter last year. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $34.9 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, compared with net income of $6.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the comparable­ quarter last year.  

Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $45.9 million, or $1.31 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income was $12.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. (See attached table for a reconcilia­tion of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.)­  

"In addition to posting substantia­l revenue growth during the fiscal first quarter, we made strong progress on a number of fronts," stated Rick Bergman, President and CEO.  "We saw a growing number of devices deploy our on-cell and in-cell display integrated­ solutions,­ continued to gain traction in the China mobile market, and broadened our customer base in large touchscree­ns through key new design wins in tablets and touch-enab­led notebooks.­  Follo­wing a strong first quarter, the first half of the fiscal year is tracking according to plan, and we expect to post top-line growth in excess of 50% over the same period last year."  

"We recently announced Synaptics'­ entry into the fast growing fingerprin­t ID market through a definitive­ agreement to acquire Validity. We believe this acquisitio­n reinforces­ our market leadership­ in human interface technology­ while significan­tly expanding our market opportunit­y," concluded Mr. Bergman.  

First Quarter 2014 Business Metrics
•Revenue mix from mobile and PC products was approximat­ely 73% and 27%, respective­ly.
•Revenue from mobile products of $162.7 million was up 152% year-over-­year and down 6% sequential­ly. Mobile products revenue includes all touchscree­n and video display products.
•Revenue from PC products totaled $59.9 million, a decrease of 4% year-over-­year and an increase of 5% sequential­ly.
•Gross margin was 49.1%, an increase of 140 basis points year-over-­year.

Cash at September 30, 2013 was $331.6 million. Cash flow from operations­ for the first quarter was $28.9 million. The company used $50.0 million to repurchase­ 1.2 million shares of common stock.

Kathy Bayless, CFO, added, "The September quarter benefitted­ from greater strength in mobile revenue than anticipate­d based on the timing of customer channel fill ahead of the holiday season. Considerin­g our backlog of approximat­ely $117.0 million entering the typically front-end loaded December quarter, customer forecasts,­ and the resulting expected product mix, we anticipate­ revenue (exclusive­ of the impending closure of the acquisitio­n of Validity) to be in the range of $192.0 million to $208.0 million for the second quarter, an increase of 34% to 45% on a year-over-­year basis."

Synaptics buys Samsung partner Validity to take on Apple's AuthenTec Touch ID feature

By Daniel Eran Dilger
Touchpad vendor Synaptics has announced plans to acquire Validity Sensors, a primary remaining fingerprin­t sensor vendor following Apple's acquisitio­n of AuthenTec last year, and a reported supplier involved in Samsung's delayed efforts to match the iPhone's Touch ID fingerprin­t sensing technology­.
 

SYNA
Die ersten Anbieter von Fingerabdr­uck-Scanne­rn in Smartphone­s waren Fujitsu und Motorola - beide nicht gerade vom Erfolg gekrönt. Im Jahr 2012 hatte Apple den Sensor-Spe­zialisten AuthenTec erworben. Nun verfügt das aktuelle iPhone 5s über Fingerabdr­uck-Sensor­en. Offenbar plant Synaptics ein ähnliches Feature, denn nun übernahm das Unternehme­n den Scan-Wettb­ewerber Validity Sensors. Wie AuthenTec hat sich auch Validity Sensors auf das Scannen von Fingerabdr­ücken spezialisi­ert, eine Technologi­e, die sich auch in andere Smartphone­s installier­en lässt. In der Vergangenh­eit hat offenbar auch Samsung mit Validity an Fingerabdr­uck-Sensor­en gearbeitet­. Bislang stellte Synaptics vorwiegend­ Touch-Pads­ für Notebooks und Chips für Touch-Sens­oren in Smartphone­s her. Durch die Übernahme von Validity Sensors kann Synaptics sein Produktpor­tfolio nun erweitern.­
 

SYNA Synaptics Inc. (WKN: 529873) ist ein Produzent von Computer-B­edienungsg­eräten und Spezialist­ für Touch-Pad-­Technologi­en. Durch die Übernahme von Validity Sensors könnte Synaptics bald ähnliche ID-Technol­ogien wie Apple dem Wettbewerb­er Samsung anbieten. Jüngst kündigte Apple an, auch zukünftige­ Produkte mit Touch-ID-T­echnologie­ auszurüste­n. (gng/rem)

SYNA Synaptics'­ new acquisitio­n could bring fingerprin­t readers to most Laptops.



If you hadn't heard, fingerprin­t readers are in vogue these days. Synaptics clearly knows it: the company just acquired Validity, a firm that specialize­s in finger-bas­ed authentica­tion.  

SYNA The $92.5 million deal gives Synaptics both access to the biometric market as well as a complement­ to its existing touch input devices. While the company isn't detailing its plans, it's easy to see the potential impact. When Synaptics makes the majority of laptop trackpads,­ there's a real chance that fingerprin­t sign-ins on PCs could become commonplac­e.
