SAN JOSE, Calif., May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zilog(R), Inc. (Nasdaq:
ZILG) a trusted supplier of application specific, embedded system-on-chip
(SoC) solutions for industrial and consumer markets, today reported financial
results for its three and twelve month fiscal periods ended March 31, 2009.
On February 18, 2009, the company announced the sale of its universal
remote control and secured transaction processor businesses to Maxim
Integrated Products, Inc. (Maxim) and Universal Electronics Inc. (UEI) for
approximately $31 million in cash including $3.1 million held in escrow. As a
result, the company's financial statements have been restated to reflect the
activities of these businesses prior to its sale as discontinued operations.
Additionally, a gain on sale of $21.6 million was recorded.
Net sales for the fiscal fourth quarter were $7.0 million, primarily
consisting of microcontroller products. Net sales for the fourth fiscal
quarter declined sequentially by 22 percent and were within the previously
announced sales guidance range. Fourth quarter fiscal 2009 net sales compared
to $10.1 million in net sales for the fourth quarter a year ago, a decline of
31 percent. Fourth quarter sales reflected lower overall demand as a result of
the continued global economic slowdown. This, coupled with the traditional
seasonal market slow-down, negatively impacted sales both in the consumer and
industrial application markets.
GAAP net income for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2009, was $12.2
million, or 71 cents per share, including the gain on sale. This GAAP net
income for the quarter compares to a GAAP net loss in the previous quarter of
$5.7 million, or 33 cents per share, and a GAAP net loss of $1.9 million, or
11 cents per share, in the fourth quarter a year ago. The GAAP net income for
the 2009 fiscal fourth quarter included special charges of $3.5 million
reflecting severance associated with workforce reductions, office closure
costs and tangible and intangible asset write-offs. Special charges were $1.7
million in the previous fiscal quarter and $0.5 million in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2008. Additionally, the Q4 fiscal 2009 GAAP net income included a
net loss from discontinued operations of $3.8 million, including $3.1 million
in charges associated with license write-offs.
"The collapse of global demand in fiscal 2009 was arguably unprecedented
and created economic challenges for all. Even in this uninviting environment,
we made progress in our ongoing strategic review process with the successful
completion of the sale of our universal remote control and secured transaction
businesses. This has in essence been a milestone year for us as we completed
the right-sizing of the company, improved our financial strength and continued
to expand our product portfolio," said Darin Billerbeck, Zilog's Chief
Executive Officer. "We enter fiscal 2010 financially solid and strategically
focused. We are aligned to our traditional core microcontroller business. At
the same time, we are excited with our opportunities to leverage our
technologies and market knowledge into higher level system solutions. This
should position us well as the global economy emerges from the current
worldwide recession."
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, sales were $36.2 million as
compared to $44.6 million for the comparable period a year ago. GAAP net
income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, was $3.2 million or 19 cents
per share as compared to a GAAP net loss of $9.3 million or 55 cents per share
for the comparable 2008 fiscal year. The improvement in profitability reflects
lower revenue and margins offset by lower overall operating expenses and the
gain on sale.
The company expects net sales for its 2010 fiscal first quarter ending
June 27, 2009, to be relatively consistent with the fiscal fourth quarter 2009
levels.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)
The Company may make reference to certain Non-GAAP financial measures.
Management believes that these Non-GAAP measures are useful measures of
operating performance and liquidity because they may exclude the impact of
certain items, such as amortization of intangible assets, stock-based
compensation, depreciation, non-operating interest, income taxes and special
charges. However, these Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to,
not as a substitute for, or superior to, net income (loss) and net cash
provided by (used in) operating activities, or other financial measures
prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Net Loss (Unaudited)
Non-GAAP net loss excludes special charges and non-cash charges relating
to the amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation. We
believe that Non-GAAP net loss is a useful measure as it excludes certain
special charge items as well as certain non-cash charges, which facilitates a
comparison of the Company's operating performance. However, this Non-GAAP
measure should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or
superior to, the net loss measured in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP EBITDA (Unaudited)
Management believes that Non-GAAP EBITDA ("EBITDA"), that is Earnings or
loss Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, is a useful
measure of financial performance. We believe that the disclosure of EBITDA
helps investors more meaningfully evaluate our liquidity position by the
elimination of non-cash related items such as depreciation and amortization.
We believe that our investor base regularly uses EBITDA as a measure of the
liquidity of our business. Our management uses EBITDA as a supplement to cash
flows from operations as a way to assess the cash generated from our business
available for capital expenditures and the servicing of other requirements
including working capital.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited)
EBITDA reflects our Earnings or loss Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation
and Amortization. Additionally, management uses separate "Adjusted EBITDA"
calculations for purposes of determining certain employees' incentive
compensation and, subject to meeting specified Adjusted EBITDA amounts, for
accelerating the vesting of EBITDA-linked stock options. Adjusted EBITDA, as
we define it, excludes interest, income taxes, effects of changes in
accounting principles and non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization,
in-process research and development, and stock-based compensation expense. It
also excludes cash and non-cash charges associated with reorganization items
and special charges and credits, which represent operational restructuring
charges, including asset write-offs, employee termination costs, relocation
costs and lease termination costs. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes changes in
operating assets and liabilities, which are included in net cash provided by
(used in) operating activities. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a
supplement to cash flows from operations as a way to assess the cash generated
from our business available for capital expenditures and the servicing of
other requirements including working capital. This Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA
measure allows management to monitor cash generated from the operations of the
business. However, this Non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to,
not as a substitute for, or superior to, net loss and net cash provided or
used in operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Cautionary Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements (including those related
to its expectations for the June 2009 quarter and the minimum revenue from
which we can generate positive adjusted EBITDA) relating to expectations,
plans or prospects for the company that are based upon the current
expectations and beliefs of the company's management and are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. For
example, continued global economic weakness or reduction in demand for the
company's more mature 8-bit classic products could negatively impact its June
2009 quarter or fiscal 2010 annual results. Unforeseen expenses, price
increases from suppliers and an inability to achieve volume discounts could
impact our ability to achieve or sustain short or long term positive adjusted
EBITDA on our current revenue levels.
Notwithstanding changes that may occur with respect to customer matters
relating to the forward-looking statements, the company does not expect to,
and disclaims any obligation to update such statements until release of its
next quarterly earnings announcement or in any other manner. The company,
however, reserves the right to update such statement, or any portion thereof,
at any time for any reason.
