Business Outlook
RFMD is
enjoying strength in CPG, supported by strong calendar 2010 handset unit forecasts, expanded participation across
customer programs and increasing adoption of connected devices, including smart phones and 3G devices. In the
diversified markets served by MPG, RFMD continues to see positive demand trends supported by increasing customer
order activity. RFMD believes the demand environment supports the following expectations:
- In CPG, quarterly revenue is expected to be better than normal seasonality in the March quarter
- In MPG, quarterly revenue is expected to be flat to up sequentially in the March quarter
- Non-GAAP operating margin for the fiscal 2010 full-year period is expected to approach RFMD's annual target
of 15%
- RFMD expects strong free cash flow, in-line with recent quarterly performances
RFMD anticipates there will be approximately 278 million outstanding diluted shares of its common stock at the
end of its fiscal 2010, using the if-converted method. RFMD's actual quarterly and annual results may differ from
these expectations and projections, and such differences may be material.
Comments From Management
Bob Bruggeworth, president and CEO of RFMD, said, "RFMD is capitalizing on major global secular growth trends,
such as mobile broadband, smart grid/AMR and green technologies, while entering lucrative new product segments,
like switch-based products for smart phones and GaN-based amplifiers for communications and defense systems, which
expand our serviceable market, diversify revenue and expand margins.
"As the global demand for data mobility
accelerates, the adoption of smart phones, netbooks, data cards and other connected devices is significantly
increasing the available RF dollar content for RFMD. Similarly, the increasing demand for AMR/smart grid
applications and green technologies is creating new, incremental opportunities to diversify revenue and expand
margins by leveraging RFMD's leadership in RF components and compound semiconductor technologies."
Dean
Priddy, CFO and vice president of administration of RFMD, said, "RFMD's business model continues to produce strong
financial results and superior capital efficiency. RFMD's strategic focus on RF components and compound
semiconductors is driving sustainable improvements in gross margin, operating margin and free cash flow. For
fiscal 2011, we expect a contribution margin of approximately 60% on each incremental dollar of revenue, and we
believe we're on track to deliver continued revenue and earnings growth in fiscal 2011 and beyond."
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with
United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), RFMD's earnings release contains the
following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, (ii) non-GAAP operating income
and operating margin, (iii) non-GAAP net income, (iv) non-GAAP net income per diluted share, (v) non-GAAP
operating expenses (research and development, marketing and selling and general and administrative), (vi) free
cash flow and free cash flow per diluted share and (vii) return on invested capital (ROIC). Each of these non-GAAP
financial measures is either adjusted from GAAP results to exclude certain expenses or derived from multiple GAAP
measures, which are outlined in the "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table on page 10 and
the "Additional Selected Non-GAAP Financial Measures And Reconciliations" table on pages 11 and 12.
In
managing RFMD's business on a consolidated basis, management develops an annual operating plan, which is approved
by our Board of Directors, using non-GAAP financial measures. In developing and monitoring performance against
this plan, management considers the actual or potential impacts on these non-GAAP financial measures from actions
taken to reduce unit costs with the goal of increasing gross margin and operating margin. In addition, management
relies upon these non-GAAP financial measures to assess whether research and development efforts are at an
appropriate level, and when making decisions about product spending, administrative budgets, and marketing
programs. In addition, we believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to
investors and enable investors to analyze the results of operations in the same way as management. We have chosen
to provide this supplemental information to enable investors to perform additional comparisons of operating
results, to assess our liquidity and capital position and to analyze financial performance excluding the effect of
certain non-cash expenses, unusual items and share-based compensation expense, which may obscure trends in RFMD's
underlying performance.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures offer an additional view of RFMD's operations that, when
coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more
complete understanding of RFMD's results of operations and the factors and trends affecting RFMD's business.
However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for,
or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Our rationale for using these
non-GAAP financial measures, as well as their impact on the presentation of RFMD's operations, are outlined below:
Non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin. Non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin exclude share-based compensation
expense, amortization of intangible assets and adjustments for restructuring and integration charges. We believe
that exclusion of these costs in presenting non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin gives management and investors
a more effective means of evaluating RFMD's historical performance and projected costs and the potential for
realizing cost efficiencies. We believe that the majority of RFMD's purchased intangibles are not relevant to
analyzing current operations because they generally represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build
value prior to acquisition, and thus are effectively part of transaction costs rather than ongoing costs of
operating RFMD's business. In this regard, we note that (i) once the intangibles are fully amortized, the
intangibles will not be replaced with cash costs and therefore, the exclusion of these costs provides management
and investors with better visibility into the actual costs required to generate revenues over time, and (ii)
although we set the amortization expense based on useful life of the various assets at the time of the
transaction, we cannot influence the timing and amount of the future amortization expense recognition once the
lives are established. Similarly, we believe that presentation of non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin and other
non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense assists management and
investors in evaluating the period-over-period performance of RFMD's ongoing operations because (i) the expenses
are non-cash in nature, and (ii) although the size of the grants is within our control, the amount of expense
varies depending on factors such as short-term fluctuations in stock price volatility and prevailing interest
rates, which can be unrelated to the operational performance of RFMD during the period in which the expense is
incurred and generally is outside the control of management. Moreover, we believe that the exclusion of
share-based compensation expense in presenting non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin and other non-GAAP financial
measures is useful to investors to understand the impact of the expensing of share-based compensation to RFMD's
gross profit and gross margins and other financial measures in comparison to both prior periods as well as to its
competitors. We also believe that the adjustments to profit and margin related to restructuring and integration
charges do not constitute part of RFMD's ongoing operations and therefore the exclusion of these costs provides
management and investors with better visibility into the actual costs required to generate revenues over time and
gives management and investors a more effective means of evaluating our historical and projected performance. We
believe disclosure of non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin has economic substance because the excluded expenses
do not represent continuing cash expenditures and, as described above, we have little control over the timing and
amount of the expenses in question.
Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin. Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin exclude
share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and integration charges,
impairment of intangibles and manufacturing start-up costs. We believe that presentation of a measure of operating
income and operating margin that excludes amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation expense
is useful to both management and investors for the same reasons as described above with respect to our use of
non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin. We believe that restructuring and integration charges, impairment of
intangibles and manufacturing start-up costs do not constitute part of RFMD's ongoing operations and therefore,
the exclusion of these costs provides management and investors with better visibility into the actual costs
required to generate revenues over time and gives management and investors a more effective means of evaluating
our historical and projected performance. We believe disclosure of non-GAAP operating income and operating margin
has economic substance because the excluded expenses are either non-recurring in nature or do not represent
current cash expenditures. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share.
Non-GAAP net income
and non-GAAP net income per diluted share exclude the effects of share-based compensation expense, amortization of
intangible assets, restructuring and integration charges, impairment of goodwill and intangibles, manufacturing
start-up costs, loss (gain) on retirement of convertible subordinated notes, non-cash interest expense on
convertible subordinated notes and also reflect an adjustment of income taxes. We believe that presentation of
measures of net income and net income per diluted share that exclude these items is useful to both management and
investors for the reasons described above with respect to non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin and non-GAAP
operating income and operating margin. We believe disclosure of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per
diluted share has economic substance because the excluded expenses are either non-recurring in nature, do not
represent current cash expenditures, or are variable in nature and thus unlikely to become recurring expenses.
Non-GAAP research and development, marketing and selling and general and administrative expenses. Non-GAAP
research and development, marketing and selling and general and administrative expenses exclude share-based
compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and restructuring and integration charges. We believe that
presentation of measures of these operating expenses that exclude amortization of intangible assets and
share-based compensation expense is useful to both management and investors for the same reasons as described
above with respect to our use of non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin. We believe that restructuring and
integration charges do not constitute part of RFMD's ongoing operations and therefore, the exclusion of these
costs provides management and investors with better visibility into the actual costs required to generate revenues
over time and gives management and investors a more effective means of evaluating our historical and projected
performance. We believe disclosure of these non-GAAP operating expenses has economic substance because the
excluded expenses are either non-recurring in nature or do not represent current cash expenditures.
Free cash flow and free cash flow per diluted share. RFMD defines free cash flow as net cash provided by
operating activities during the period minus property and equipment expenditures made during the period. RFMD
defines free cash flow per diluted share as net cash provided by operating activities during the period minus
property and equipment expenditures made during the period divided by GAAP weighted average outstanding diluted
shares during the period. We use free cash flow as a supplemental financial measure in our evaluation of liquidity
and financial strength. Management believes that this measure is useful as an indicator of our ability to service
our debt, meet other payment obligations and make strategic investments. Free cash flow should be considered in
addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income as a measure of our performance and net cash provided by
operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Additionally, our definition of free cash flow is limited, in
that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the
measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations. Therefore, we
believe it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our entire
statement of cash flows.
Non-GAAP ROIC. Return on invested capital (ROIC) is a non-GAAP measure that
management believes provides useful supplemental information for management and the investor by measuring the
effectiveness of our operations' use of invested capital to generate profits. We use ROIC to track how much value
we are creating for our shareholders. Non-GAAP ROIC is calculated by dividing annualized non-GAAP Operating
Income, net of cash taxes, by average invested capital. Average invested capital is calculated by subtracting the
average of the beginning balance and the ending balance of current liabilities (excluding the current portion of
long-term debt and other short-term financings) from the average of the beginning balance and the ending balance
of Net Accounts Receivable, Inventories, Other Current Assets, Net Property and Equipment and a cash amount equal
to seven days of quarterly revenue. For the period ending October 3, 2009, which was a 14 week quarter, the
annualized non-GAAP operating income, net of cash taxes, has been normalized to a 52-week basis.
Limitations
of non-GAAP financial measures. The primary material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP gross profit
and gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income and operating margin, non-GAAP net
income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, free cash flow and free cash flow per diluted share and non-GAAP
ROIC as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures of gross profit and gross margin,
operating expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss), net income (loss) per diluted share and net cash
provided by operating activities are (i) they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies in RFMD's industry, and (ii) they exclude financial information that some may consider important in
evaluating our performance. We compensate for these limitations by providing full disclosure of the differences
between these non-GAAP financial measures and the corresponding GAAP financial measures, including a
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, to enable
investors to perform their own analysis of our gross profit and gross margin, operating expenses, operating income
(loss), net income (loss), net income (loss) per diluted share and net cash provided by operating activities.
