Financial Results for Fiscal Q3 Ended March 31, 2020

“Despite unprecedented challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we finished the March quarter in line with expectations, with revenue in our guidance range. As we navigate through this difficult time, our top priority is the health and well-being of our employees and their families. We are thankful that all 4,000 of our employees are safe and well, our global operations are running, and our manufacturing facilities are operating at expected levels. I am both humbled by and proud of our amazing group of employees, who delivered extraordinary performance with a strong sense of ownership and commitment, while sustaining a safe and healthy work environment,” stated Dr. Mike Chang, Chairman and CEO of AOS.

Dr. Chang continued, “Even with the overall downturn in the economy, near-term end demand for Computing and Gaming is strong. Our JV Company is starting to fulfill its purpose, as highlighted in our strategic plan for sustainable growth. It has played a critical role in enabling us to capture the surge in Computing demand. In difficult times like these, supporting our customers through uninterrupted supply of products is more important than ever. The power semiconductor market is large and growing, and we are determined and committed to accomplish our mission to expand rapidly and become a top-tier supplier to this market.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections of future performance based on management's judgment, beliefs, current trends, and anticipated product performance. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to expected growth rate, our product portfolios, projected amount of revenue, gross margin, operating income (loss), income tax expenses, net income (loss), noncontrolling interest, and share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, tax expenses, and non-GAAP loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, expected increase of demand in PC and gaming markets, our responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ability to expand our sales and market share, increase our capacity and achieve sustained growth and profitability, our ability to support global OEM and ODM customers, the expected ramp-up schedule of the 12-inch fab at the JV Company and target run rate, our ability to provide power solutions and reliable supply chains, and other information under the section entitled “Business Outlook for Fiscal Q4 Ending June 30, 2020”. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on our business, our ability to successfully operate our joint venture in China; our ability to develop and succeed in the digital power business; difficulties and challenges in executing our diversification strategy into different market segments; new tariffs on goods from China; ordering pattern from distributors and seasonality; changes in regulatory environment and government investigation; our ability to introduce or develop new and enhanced products that achieve market acceptance; decline of PC markets; the actual product performance in volume production; the quality and reliability of our product, our ability to achieve design wins; the general business and economic conditions; the state of semiconductor industry and seasonality of our markets; our ability to maintain factory utilization at a desirable level; and other risks as described in our SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 filed on August 23, 2019. Other unknown or unpredictable factors or underlying assumptions subsequently proving to be incorrect could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All information provided in this press release is as of today's date, unless otherwise stated, and AOS undertakes no duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures for our historical performance, including non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating income (loss), net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, net income (loss) and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). These supplemental measures exclude share-based compensation expenses, production ramp up costs and re-production expenses related to the JV Company, as well as legal costs related to government investigation and impairment of privately-held investment. We also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures in our guidance for the next quarter, including non-GAAP gross margin, operating expenses and loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. These forecast supplemental measures exclude estimated pre-production expenses and production ramp-up costs relating to our JV Company, estimated share-based compensation expenses and legal costs related to investigation case. We believe that these historical and forecast non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items and expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results or do not reflect our normal business operations. In addition, our management uses non-GAAP measures to compare our performance relative to forecasts and to benchmark our performance externally against competitors. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations in that the non-GAAP financial measures we use may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. For example, the terms used in this press release, such as non-GAAP net income (loss) or non-GAAP operating expenses, do not have a standardized meaning. Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. In addition, we included amount of income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments in the non-GAAP net income of reconciliation table for all periods presented as the management believes that such non-GAAP presentation provides useful information to investors, even though the amounts are not significant. We seek to compensate for the limitation of our non-GAAP presentation by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures both in the text in this press release and in the tables attached hereto. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
