QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), the lowest power programmable solutions leader, today announced the financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Revenue for the third quarter of 2007 was $9.0 million, up seven percent from $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2007 and up five percent from $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2006. New product revenue increased by $1.0 million sequentially; this growth was partially offset by a decline in end-of-life product revenue. Higher end-of-life and mature product revenue was a major contributor to the year-on-year increase in revenue. New products – ArcticLink™, PolarPro™, Eclipse™ II and QuickPCI® II – contributed 18 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 2007, seven percent in the second quarter of 2007 and 25 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 2006.
Under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the net loss for the third quarter of 2007 was $1.5 million, or $0.05 per share, compared with a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.07 per share, in the second quarter of 2007 and a net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.10 per share, in the third quarter of 2006. Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2007 was $1.0 million, or $0.04 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.06 per share, in the second quarter of 2007 and a non-GAAP net loss of $2.6 million, or $0.09 per share, in the third quarter of 2006.
QuickLogic reports certain financial measures, including net loss, in accordance with GAAP and also on a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP results, where applicable, exclude stock-based compensation recorded in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-based Payment” and the write-off of long-lived assets. For a full reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP net loss, please refer to the schedule on page 5 of this press release.
“We are pleased with our significant increase in revenue compared with the second quarter,” said E. Thomas Hart, chairman, president and CEO. “We are getting good design traction for our Customer Specific Standard Products (CSSPs) with top customers in our target markets. The trend for these customers is to design platforms that enable them to generate multiple products. The inherent flexibility of CSSPs serves well to “future-proof” these platforms, extending their life over several product generations. This allows our customers to bring new products to market more quickly and cost effectively with lower risk.”

QuickLogic reports financial information in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but believes that non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in evaluating its operating results and comparing its performance to comparable companies. Accordingly, the Company excludes charges related to stock-based compensation and the effect of the write-off of long-lived assets in calculating non-GAAP (i) income (loss) from operations, (ii) net income (loss), (iii) net income (loss) per share, and (iv) gross margin percentage. For a full reconciliation of these GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures, please refer to the schedule on page 5 of this press release. The Company provides this non-GAAP information to enable investors to evaluate its operating results in a manner similar to how the Company analyzes its operating results and to provide consistency and comparability with similar companies in the Company’s industry. Management uses the non-GAAP measures, which exclude gains, losses and other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company’s core operating results, internally to evaluate its operating performance against results in prior periods and its operating plans and forecasts. In addition, the non-GAAP measures are used to plan for the Company’s future periods, and serve as the basis for the allocation of Company resources, management of operations and the measurement of profit-dependent cash compensation paid to employees and executive officers.
Investors should note, however, that the non-GAAP financial measures used by QuickLogic may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as that of other companies. QuickLogic does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures alone or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures is included in the financial statements portion of this press release. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
This press release contains forward-looking statements made by our CEO relating to design activity of our new products and the revenue generating potential of such new products, which is dependent on the market acceptance of our products and the level of customer orders. Actual results could differ materially from any such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include delays in the market acceptance of the Company’s new products; the ability to convert design opportunities into customer revenue; our ability to replace revenue from end-of-life products; the level and timing of customer design activity; the market acceptance of our customers’ products; the risk that new orders may not result in future revenue; our ability to introduce and produce new products based on advanced wafer technology on a timely basis; our ability to adequately market the low power, competitive pricing and short time-to-market of our new products; intense competition, including the introduction of new products by competitors; our ability to hire and retain qualified personnel; changes in product demand or supply; capacity constraints; and general economic conditions. These factors and others are described in more detail in the Company’s public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risks discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s prior press releases.
