(1)    In millions, except per share amounts and percentages of net sales.

GAAP net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 were $1.310 billion, down 1.0% from net sales of $1.323 billion in the prior year's first fiscal quarter.

GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $123.6 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, up from GAAP net income of $50.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the prior year's first fiscal quarter. For the first quarters of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, GAAP net income was significantly adversely impacted by purchase accounting adjustments associated with our acquisitions.

Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $401.9 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, up from non-GAAP net income of $357.6 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, in the prior year's first fiscal quarter. For the first quarters of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, our non-GAAP results exclude the effect of share-based compensation, COVID-19 shelter-in-place restrictions on manufacturing activities, expenses related to our acquisition activities (including intangible asset amortization, severance and other restructuring costs, and legal and other general and administrative expenses associated with acquisitions including legal fees and expenses for litigation and investigations related to our Microsemi acquisition), professional services associated with certain legal matters, IT security remediation costs, non-cash interest expense on our convertible debentures, losses on the settlement of debt, and gains related to available-for-sale investments. For the first quarters of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, our non-GAAP income tax expense is presented based on projected cash taxes for the fiscal year, excluding transition tax payments under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP and GAAP results is included in this press release.

Microchip announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a record quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of 36.80 cents per share. The quarterly dividend is payable on September 4, 2020 to stockholders of record on August 21, 2020.

"The June quarter demonstrated what the best of the Microchip culture and its employees represent," said Steve Sanghi, Chief Executive Officer. "Our global team all came together in the middle of a global pandemic, while working on a pay cut, and delivered superb performance during the quarter. I am proud of how rapidly the Microchip team adapted to the new constraints we faced so that our employees would be safe, our customers could be well served and our supply chain partners engaged to achieve mutual success despite the challenges we faced."

Mr. Sanghi added, "Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, we delivered $1.31 billion of net sales which was down 1.3% on a sequential basis compared to our early June updated guidance which was for net sales to be about flat to down 6%. We also delivered outstanding non-GAAP gross margin of 61.7% and operating margin of 38.6%, while reducing our days of inventory from 122 days to 117 days. We believe our inventory is well-positioned to serve the needs of our customers and is within our publicly-stated inventory target of 115 to 120 days."

"In the June quarter, our Data Center and Computing end markets continued to show strength from the shift to a work from home environment," said Ganesh Moorthy, President and Chief Operating Officer. "Medical devices necessary to treat COVID-19 patients in addition to a host of other hospital equipment needed to support increased patient loads were also strong in the quarter. Our Automotive business was very weak, particularly in April and May due to the widespread factory shutdowns, but we are starting to see some improvement in this portion of our business."

Mr. Moorthy added, "Our manufacturing operations worked through varying constraints in the June quarter and were able to ramp up as the quarter progressed and the shelter in place restrictions eased in certain of the higher impacted locations. Our customers and supply chain partners also faced constraints with their factories and logistics, primarily during April and May. As we progressed through May and June, we experienced many short lead time orders from customers due to a variety of factors. We are working with our customers to improve the visibility of their backlog so that we can serve them better."

Eric Bjornholt, Microchip's Chief Financial Officer, said, "We continued to aggressively pay down our debt with another $394.0 million of payments during the June quarter, reflecting a cumulative debt pay down of $2.62 billion over the past eight quarters, as we have actively managed the working capital requirements for the business. In the June quarter, we also issued $2.2 billion of senior notes which was used to repay our senior secured bridge loan facility, repurchased a portion of our convertible debt, and paid down a portion of the borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We believe that the convertible repurchases will significantly reduce share count dilution to the extent our stock price appreciates over time."

Mr. Sanghi concluded, "Our June quarter bookings were soft compared to the March quarter as our customers and distributors did not have the visibility to place long-term orders. Our backlog entering the September quarter was significantly below our backlog entering the June quarter, although bookings have strengthened through the month of July. However, the pace of economic recovery appears to be a bit uncertain due to the resurgence of COVID-19 positive cases in many countries around the world. Taking all of these factors into consideration, we expect our net sales in the September quarter to be flat to down 8% sequentially. The broad guidance range is to help account for the uncertainty from the evolving COVID-19 pandemic."

Microchip's Highlights for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2020:

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2021 Outlook:

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. We are not able to predict whether inventory at our distributors will increase or decrease during the quarter and are therefore providing a range of GAAP net sales guidance. In recent years, we have seen net inventory at our distributors increase or decrease by a significant amount in a single quarter.

(1)   See the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this release for information regarding our non-GAAP guidance.
(2)   We are not able to estimate the amount of certain Special Charges and Other, net that may be incurred during the quarter ending September 30, 2020. Therefore, our estimate of GAAP operating expenses excludes certain amounts that may be recognized as Special Charges and Other, net in the quarter ending September 30, 2020.
(3)   The forecast for GAAP tax expense excludes any unexpected tax events that may occur during the quarter, as these amounts cannot be forecasted.
(4)   Represents expected cash tax rate for fiscal 2021 excluding any transition tax payments associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Under the new GAAP revenue recognition standard which we adopted on April 1, 2018, we are required to recognize revenue when control of the product changes from us to a customer or distributor. We focus our sales and marketing efforts on creating demand for our products in the end markets we serve and not on moving inventory into our distribution network. Therefore, the elements of our internal performance and executive and employee compensation metrics that are based on sales and operating results are measured using the value of the end-market demand for our products. We use end-market demand for these purposes because we do not believe that the underlying value of our business benefits from increases in the value of inventory that is held in the supply chain. As many of our products are designed into customer applications with relatively long lives, such value is only realized when the end-market demand is created and the supply chain sells the inventory to the end customer. We define end-market demand as the net dollar amount of our products, licensing revenue and other services delivered to our direct (non-distributor) customers and by our distributors to their customers. We are able to calculate end-market demand based on information that our distributors provide us about their product shipments to their customers and inventory holdings. The value of end-market demand from our distributors is calculated as the net transaction value of these shipments. We believe that our end-market demand metric reflects true end-market demand based on when product is sold to direct customers or by our distributors to an end customer. We believe the use of end-market demand is also important to investors and users of our financial statements as it reflects the final outcome of our sales activities whereas our GAAP net sales are based on estimates made earlier in (or before the end of) the process of creating and fulfilling demand is complete. We also manage our manufacturing and supply chain operations, including our distributor relationships, towards the goal of having our products available at the time and location the end customer desires. Management uses end-market demand to manage and assess the profitability of our business and when developing and monitoring our budgets and spending. Many of our investors have requested that we disclose end-market demand metric because they believe it is useful in understanding our performance as it provides better information regarding end-market demand for our products. Therefore, we believe that it is useful to investors for us to disclose end-market demand. Our determination of end-market demand metric might not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Our non-GAAP adjustments, where applicable, include the effect of share-based compensation, COVID-19 shelter-in-place restrictions on manufacturing activities, expenses related to our acquisition activities (including intangible asset amortization, severance and other restructuring costs, and legal and other general and administrative expenses associated with acquisitions including legal fees and expenses for litigation and investigations related to our Microsemi acquisition), professional services associated with certain legal matters, IT security remediation costs, non-cash interest expense on our convertible debentures, losses on the settlement of debt, and gains related to available-for-sale investments. For the first quarters of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, our non-GAAP income tax expense is presented based on projected cash taxes for the fiscal year, excluding transition tax payments under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

We are required to estimate the cost of certain forms of share-based compensation, including employee stock options, restricted stock units and our employee stock purchase plan, and to record a commensurate expense in our income statement. Share-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is affected by the price of our stock at the date of grant. The price of our stock is affected by market forces that are difficult to predict and are not within the control of management. Our other non-GAAP adjustments are either non-cash expenses, unusual or infrequent items or other expenses related to transactions. Management excludes all of these items from its internal operating forecasts and models.

We are using non-GAAP operating expenses in dollars including non-GAAP research and development expenses and non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP other expense, net, and non-GAAP income tax rate, which exclude the items noted above, as applicable, to permit additional analysis of our performance.

Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they enhance the understanding of our historical financial performance and comparability between periods. Many of our investors have requested that we disclose this non-GAAP information because they believe it is useful in understanding our performance as it excludes non-cash and other charges that many investors feel may obscure our underlying operating results. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to manage and assess the profitability of our business and for compensation purposes. We also use our non-GAAP results when developing and monitoring our budgets and spending. Our determination of these non-GAAP measures might not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it should not be construed as a substitute for amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations associated with using these non-GAAP measures, including that they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. Management compensates for this by presenting information on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for investors and providing reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP results.

Generally, gross margin fluctuates over time, driven primarily by the mix of products sold and licensing revenue; variances in manufacturing yields; fixed cost absorption; wafer fab loading levels; costs of wafers from foundries; inventory reserves; pricing pressures in our non-proprietary product lines; and competitive and economic conditions. Operating expenses fluctuate over time, primarily due to net sales and profit levels.

Diluted Common Shares Outstanding can vary for, among other things, the trading price of our common stock, the exercise of options or vesting of restricted stock units, the potential for incremental dilutive shares from our convertible debentures (additional information regarding our share count is available in the investor relations section of our website under the heading "Supplemental Financial Information"), and repurchases or issuances of shares of our common stock. The diluted common shares outstanding presented in the guidance table above assumes an average Microchip stock price in the September 2020 quarter between $100 and $110 per share (however, we make no prediction as to what our actual share price will be for such period or any other period and we cannot estimate what our stock option exercise activity will be during the quarter).
