Business Outlook
The following are MPS' financial targets for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2009:
-- Revenues in the range of $43.0 million to $46.0 million.
-- Gross margin at similar levels to the third quarter of 2009.
-- Research and development and selling, general and administrative
expenses between $19.3 million and $20.7 million. Non-GAAP(1) research
and development and selling, general and administrative expenses between
$16.2 million and $17.2 million. This excludes an estimate of
stock-based compensation expense in the range of $3.1 million to $3.5
million.
-- Litigation expense in the range of $2.6 million to $3.0 million.
(1) Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP research and development and selling, general and administrative expense differ from net income, operating expenses, and research and development and selling, general and administrative expense determined in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States). Non-GAAP net income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 excludes the effect of stock-based compensation expense, a credit for the net effect of a litigation provision reversal and their related tax effects. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense and a credit for the net effect of a litigation provision reversal. Projected non-GAAP research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense. A schedule reconciling these amounts is included in this news release. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. MPS utilizes both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to assess what it believes to be its core operating performance and to evaluate and manage its internal business and assist in making financial operating decisions. MPS believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures, together with GAAP measures, provides investors with an alternative presentation useful to investors' understanding of MPS' core operating results and trends. Additionally, MPS believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures, together with GAAP measures, provides investors with an additional dimension of comparability to similar companies. However, investors should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures utilized by other companies are not likely to be comparable in most cases to the non-GAAP financials measures used by MPS.
