Post# of 301275
HSINCHU, Taiwan, Jan. 12, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SemiLEDs Corporation (NASDAQ: LEDS ), “SemiLEDs” or the “Company,” a developer and manufacturer of LED chips and LED components, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, ended November 30, 2016.
Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $2.7 million, a 43% increase compared to $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $0.7 million, compared to a loss of $12.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, or a net loss of $0.20 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.07 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. The GAAP net loss of $0.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 included $0.5 million in other income from a breach of contract lawsuit payments consisting of the $0.3 million advance receipt payment made in March 2015 and the $0.2 million settlement payment made in November 2016.
On a non-GAAP basis, net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $0.6 million, or a net loss of $0.17 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders of $2.8 million, or a loss of $0.94 in the fourth quarter of 2016.
GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was 4%, compared with gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 of negative 66%. Operating margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was negative 41%, compared with negative 614% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, which was negatively impacted by the impairment of long-lived assets and investments. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents was $4.8 million at November 30, 2016, compared to $6.0 million at the end of fiscal 2016. Cash used in operating activities was $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, compared with $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.
We expect revenue for the second quarter ending February 28, 2017 to be about $2.1 million +/- 10%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
SemiLEDs has provided in this press release adjusted financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. SemiLEDs uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to, but not as a substitute for, GAAP measures, in evaluating the Company’s operational performance. SemiLEDs believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in SemiLEDs’ industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The historical non-GAAP financial measures presented above exclude the following items required to be included by GAAP: non-cash stock-based compensation charges, non-cash impairment charges on long-lived assets, goodwill and investments and the related tax effect, if any. In addition to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed above, SemiLEDs also uses free cash flow as a measure of operating performance. Free cash flow represents cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
