Actel Announces Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Oct 27, 2009 -- Actel Corporation (NASDAQ: ACTL) today announced net revenues of $47.2 million for the third quarter of 2009, up 4.5 percent from the second quarter of 2009 and down 11.2 percent from the third quarter of 2008.

Actel reported net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) of $0.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009 compared with a net loss of $(1.4) million, or $(0.05) per basic share, for the third quarter of 2008 and a net loss of $(45.1) million, or $(1.73) per basic share, for the second quarter of 2009.

Non-GAAP net income, which excludes stock-based compensation, certain excess inventory reserves, fixed asset impairment charges, expenses associated with the restructuring, adjustments to deferred tax valuation allowances and other non-recurring adjustments, was $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared with $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2008 and $14,000 for the second quarter of 2009.

Significant Developments

Significant developments during the third quarter included:

-- The availability of a free Mixed-Signal Power Manager (MPM) reference design and graphical user interface (GUI) tool included in the recently announced Fusion® Advanced Development Kit. This tool is key to enabling designers to control and reduce power at the system level, offering fully-verified, timing-closed, proven-in-hardware power supervision and management capabilities.

-- The availability of RTAX-DSP prototype FPGAs for demonstration and timing validation of designs targeted to Actel's RTAX-DSP space-flight FPGAs. These prototypes have the same pin assignment, mechanical footprint and timing properties across the full military temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) as their space-flight counterparts.

-- The continued performance of critical functions by Actel's radiation-tolerant RTAX-S FPGAs aboard the NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS), which will return more data about the moon than any previous mission.

-- The opening of a new development and support center in Hyderabad, India. The facility will house engineering, operations and marketing employees as well as a 24-hour customer support center.

Business Outlook - Fourth Quarter 2009

The Company believes that fourth quarter 2009 revenues will be up two percent to six percent sequentially. Gross margin is expected to be about 59 or 60 percent. Operating expenses are anticipated to come in at approximately $26.9 million, which excludes an estimated $2.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, an estimated $1.2 million charge for the fourth quarter 2009 reduction in force, and $0.6 million associated with the acquisition of Pigeon Point Systems. Other income is expected to be about $0.7 million. The non-GAAP tax rate for the quarter is expected to be about 30 percent. Outstanding fully diluted share count is expected to be about 26.3 million shares.

Conference Call

A conference call to discuss third quarter results will be held Tuesday, October 27, 2009, at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time. A live web cast and replay of the call will be available. Web cast and replay access information as well as financial and other statistical information can be found on Actel's web site, www.actel.com.

Corporate Restructuring

Actel announced in January a company-wide restructuring plan to increase profitability. In conjunction with cost-reduction initiatives taken in the fourth quarter of 2008, the restructuring is expected to result in a quarterly reduction in expenses of approximately $6.5 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared with the third quarter of 2008. The Company expects to record aggregate charges of $5.0 million to $5.5 million for severance and other costs related to the restructuring by the beginning of the third quarter of 2010, when the restructuring will be substantially complete.

Non-GAAP Adjustments and Reconciliation

This release includes non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share data and other non-GAAP line items from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, including total costs and expenses, income from operations, and income before tax provision. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP adjustments are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our operating performance. Actel believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Actel's financial condition and results of operations, in particular by excluding certain expense and income items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. Actel believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. In addition, since we have historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements in the paragraphs under the headings "Corporate Restructuring" and "Business Outlook - Fourth Quarter 2009" are forward-looking statements made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and should be read with the "Risk Factors" in Actel's most recent Form 10-Q, which can be found on Actel's web site, www.actel.com. Actel's anticipated results from its restructuring plan and its projected revenues and operating results for the fourth quarter of 2009 are subject to a multitude of risks, including general economic conditions and a variety of risks specific to Actel or characteristic of the semiconductor industry, such as a failure to achieve the full projected results of the restructuring plan, fluctuating demand, intense competition, rapid technological change and related intellectual property and international trade issues, wafer and other supply shortages, and booking and shipment uncertainties. These and the other Risk Factors make it difficult for Actel to accurately project quarterly revenues and operating results, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Any failure to meet expectations could cause the price of Actel's stock to decline significantly. Actel undertakes no obligation to update any information contained in this press release.
