• Allegro MicroSystems Reports Fourth Quarter Record Revenue and Accelerating Profits

    Source: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 05 May 2021 08:00:03   America/New_York

    MANCHESTER, N.H., May 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. (“Allegro” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:ALGM), a global leader in power and sensing semiconductor solutions for motion control and energy efficient systems, today announced financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended March 26, 2021. Record fourth quarter total net sales of $175.1 million for the three-month period exceeded expectations in the fourth quarter and resulted in fiscal year total net sales of $591.2 million. Profitability also exceeded expectations, with improvements in both gross margin and operating income resulting in significant earnings per share growth on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis sequentially.

    Quarter Highlights:

    • Total net sales of $175.1 million was up 6.5% sequentially and on a non-GAAP basis, core end markets grew 22.3% from the same period in fiscal 2020.
    • Automotive and Industrial net sales for the quarter grew 12.3% and 30.7%, respectively, from the same period in fiscal 2020.
    • Gross margin on a GAAP basis was 49.7% and 50.9% on a Non-GAAP basis.
    • Operating margin on a GAAP basis was 11.1% and increased to 19.7% on a non-GAAP basis.
    • GAAP earnings per diluted share was $0.05, up $0.09 sequentially. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share was $0.15, up $0.02, growing 15.4% sequentially.

    “Our strong performance in the fourth quarter was driven by accelerating revenue in our target markets and increased profitability resulting from continued progress toward our manufacturing transformation,” said Ravi Vig, President and CEO of Allegro MicroSystems. “I am pleased with our design win momentum, which has yielded market share gains and is a testament to our industry-leading technologies and alignment with growing markets like vehicle electrification and data centers. We believe our strengthening fundamentals and resilient manufacturing model give us a solid foundation for long-term out-performance of our end markets.”

    Business Summary

    Record automotive net sales were up 4% sequentially during the fourth fiscal quarter driven by strong global automotive demand and a favorable vehicle production mix, despite supply chain constraints. Shifts to higher value features on automotive platforms are driving increased demand for Allegro products in ADAS and comfort and convenience systems. Automotive net sales grew 1% for the full year, outpacing an 8% reduction in global car production.

    Industrial net sales in the fourth quarter exceeded expectations and were up 23% sequentially and up 21% for the full year, reaching new record highs. Growth was driven by data center, building and factory automation, and green energy applications. All three categories were up double-digits sequentially.

    Business Outlook

    For the first fiscal quarter ending June 25, 2021, the Company expects total net sales to be in the range of $176 million to $179 million. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be about 51.0% and non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share for the same period is expected to be in the range of $0.15 to $0.17.

    Allegro has not provided a reconciliation of its first fiscal quarter outlook for non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share because estimates of all of the reconciling items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts. It is difficult to reasonably provide a forward-looking estimate between such forward-looking non-GAAP measures and the comparable forward-looking GAAP measures. Certain factors that are materially significant to Allegro’s ability to estimate these items are out of its control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted.

    Earnings Webcast

    A webcast will be held on Wednesday, May 5, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time. Ravi Vig, Chief Executive Officer and Paul Walsh, Chief Financial Officer, will discuss Allegro’s financial results.

    The webcast will be available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at investors.allegromicro.com. A recording of the webcast will be posted in the same location shortly after the call concludes and will be available for at least 30 days.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to the measures presented in our consolidated financial statements, we regularly review other metrics, defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, prepare financial forecasts and make strategic decisions. The key metrics we consider are non-GAAP Gross Profit, non-GAAP Gross Margin, non-GAAP Operating Expenses, non-GAAP Operating Income, non-GAAP Operating Margin, non-GAAP Profit before Tax, non-GAAP Provision for Income Tax, non-GAAP Net Income, non-GAAP Net Income per Share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”). These Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide supplemental information regarding our operating performance on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain gains, losses and charges of a non-cash nature or that occur relatively infrequently and/or that management considers to be unrelated to our core operations, and in the case of non-GAAP Provision for Income Tax, management believes that this non-GAAP measure of income taxes provides it with the ability to evaluate the non-GAAP Provision for Income Taxes across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of special items and discrete items, which may vary in size and frequency. By presenting these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, we provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance, and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by our presenting these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, as they provide a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations. Management believes that tracking and presenting these Non-GAAP Financial Measures provides management and the investment community with valuable insight into matters such as: our ongoing core operations, our ability to generate cash to service our debt and fund our operations; and the underlying business trends that are affecting our performance. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures are used by both management and our board of directors, together with the comparable GAAP information, in evaluating our current performance and planning our future business activities. In particular, management finds it useful to exclude non-cash charges in order to better correlate our operating activities with our ability to generate cash from operations and to exclude certain cash charges as a means of more accurately predicting our liquidity requirements. We believe that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, when used in conjunction with our GAAP financial information, also allow investors to better evaluate our financial performance in comparison to other periods and to other companies in our industry.

    These Non-GAAP Financial Measures have significant limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are that:

    • such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
    • such measures exclude certain costs which are important in analyzing our GAAP results;
    • such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
    • such measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
    • such measures do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future;
    • such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
    • other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, thereby further limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

    The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are supplemental measures of our performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered as substitutes for GAAP financial measures such as gross profit, gross margin, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Also, in the future we may incur expenses or charges such as those added back in the calculation of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Our presentation of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

    Our prior disclosure referred to non-GAAP Gross Profit and non-GAAP Gross Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin, respectively. No changes have been made to how we calculate these measures.

    Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin

    We calculate non-GAAP Gross Profit and non-GAAP Gross Margin excluding the items below from cost of goods sold in applicable periods and we calculate non-GAAP Gross Margin as non-GAAP Gross Profit divided by total net sales.

    • PSL and Sanken Distribution Agreement - Represents the elimination of inventory cost amortization and foundry service payment related to one-time costs incurred in connection with the disposition of Polar Semiconductor, LLC (“PSL”) during the fiscal year ended March 26, 2021 (the “PSL Divestiture”).
    • Stock-based compensation - Represents non-cash expenses arising from the grant of stock-based awards.
    • AMTC Facility consolidation one-time costs - Represents one-time costs incurred in connection with closing of our manufacturing facility in Thailand (the “AMTC Facility”) and transitioning of test and assembly functions to our manufacturing facility in the Philippines (the “AMPI Facility”) announced in fiscal year 2020 consisting of: moving equipment between facilities, contract terminations and other non-recurring charges. The closure and transition of the AMTC Facility was substantially completed as of the end of March 2021.
