OmniVision Reports Financial Results For The Fourth Quarter Of Fiscal 2014

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 29, 2014  -- OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (OVTI), a leading developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 that ended on April 30, 2014.

Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 were $331.0 million, as compared to $352.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, and $336.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $15.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $30.6 million, or $0.54 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, and $8.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Non-GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $23.9 million, or $0.40 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was $40.4 million, or $0.69 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $17.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income excludes stock-based compensation expenses and the related tax effects. Please refer to the attached schedule for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP net income for the three months and fiscal year ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 and for the three months ended January 31, 2014.

Revenues for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014 were $1.5 billion, as compared to $1.4 billion million in fiscal 2013. GAAP net income for fiscal 2014 was $95.0 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, as compared to GAAP net income for fiscal 2013 of $42.9 million, or $0.80 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2014 was $131.0 million, or $2.24 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2013 was $79.0 million, or $1.41 per diluted share.

GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was 20.1%, as compared to 19.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and 17.5% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The sequential increase in fourth quarter gross margin was primarily attributable to the introduction of newer and lower cost products into our shipment mix.

The Company ended the period with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $450.9 million, an increase of $57.9 million from the previous quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

"We are pleased to conclude our fiscal 2014 on a high note. Our financial metrics have continued to improve, with better gross margin, higher cash balance, and lower inventories. We have made meaningful progress on multiple fronts, including the diversification of our revenues into multiple geographies, especially in Asia, and the strong growth in our emerging automotive and security markets," said Shaw Hong, chief executive officer of OmniVision Technologies, Inc. "We are also working on new technologies and applications in our core and emerging markets that have the potential to substantially enhance our market position over the longer term."

Outlook

Based on current trends, the Company expects revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 will be in the range of $360 million to $400 million and GAAP net income per share will be between $0.29 and $0.49 per diluted share. Excluding the estimated expense and related tax effects associated with stock-based compensation, the Company expects its non-GAAP net income per share will be between $0.43 and $0.63 per diluted share. Refer to the table below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income.

Safe Harbor Statement

Certain statements in this press release, including statements regarding our expectations regarding revenues and earnings per share for the three months ending July 31, 2014 are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations, and certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

We expressly disclaim any obligation to update information contained in any forward-looking statement.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the reader's overall understanding of both its reported results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and its outlook, the Company also presents non-GAAP measures of net income and net income per share which are adjusted from results based on GAAP. In particular, the Company excludes stock-based compensation expenses and the related tax effects. The non-GAAP financial measures which the Company discloses also exclude the effects of stock-based compensation on the number of basic and diluted common shares used in calculating non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per share. The Company provides these non-GAAP financial measures to enhance an investor's overall understanding of its current financial performance and to assess its prospects for the future. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company's business. The economic basis for the Company's decision to use non-GAAP financial measures is that the adjustments to net income did not reflect the on-going relative strength of the Company's performance. The Company's objective is to minimize any confusion in the financial markets by providing non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share measurements and disclosing the related components. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures for internal management purposes to conduct and evaluate its business, when publicly providing its business outlook and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. The Company views non-GAAP net income per share as a primary indicator of the profitability of its underlying business. In addition, because stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense and is offset in full by a credit to additional paid-in capital, it has no effect on total stockholders' equity. As the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures differs between companies, the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Other than stock-based compensation and the related tax effects, these differences may cause the Company's non-GAAP measures to not be directly comparable to other companies' non-GAAP measures. Although these non-GAAP financial measures adjust cost, expenses and basic and diluted share items to exclude the accounting treatment of stock-based compensation, they should not be viewed as a non-GAAP presentation reflecting the elimination of the underlying stock-based compensation programs. Thus, the Company's non-GAAP presentations are not intended to present, and should not be used, as a basis for assessing what its operating results might be if it were to eliminate its stock-based compensation programs. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing full disclosure of the net income and net income per share on a basis prepared in accordance with GAAP to enable investors to consider net income and net income per share determined under GAAP as well as on an adjusted basis, and perform their own analysis, as appropriate. As a result of the foregoing limitations, the Company does not use, nor does the Company intend to use, the non-GAAP financial measures when assessing the Company's performance against that of other companies.

Estimating stock-based compensation expenses and the related tax effects for a future period is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the price of the Company's stock, stock market volatility, expected option life, risk-free interest rates, and the number of option exercises and sales during the quarter.
