Positive
  • Maintained solid gross margin of 69.0% both GAAP and non-GAAP
  • Free cash flow margin more than doubled sequentially to 31%
  • Sequential revenue growth of 2.4% to $127.1 million
  • New AI-PC design wins with Dell XPS models
Negative
  • Year-over-year revenue decline of 33.9%
  • 14% workforce reduction announced
  • Q4 revenue guidance indicates sequential decline to $112-122 million
  • Operating income decreased 86.8% year-over-year

Insights

The Q3 results reveal significant challenges with 33.9% YoY revenue decline to $127.1 million. While quarterly revenue grew 2.4% sequentially, GAAP net income dropped dramatically to $0.05 per share from $0.38 YoY. The company's strategic response includes a 14% workforce reduction and operating expense cuts to drive efficiency.

The 69% gross margin demonstrates resilience in the business model, but guidance for Q4 suggests continued pressure with revenue expected between $112-122 million. The 31% free cash flow margin improvement is a bright spot, indicating strong operational efficiency despite headwinds.

The appointment of Ford Tamer as CEO, known for his successful tenure at Inphi and new AI-PC wins with Dell could help stabilize the business, but near-term industry challenges persist. The cost-cutting measures should support low double-digit earnings growth in 2025.

The expansion of Lattice's presence in AI-PCs through Dell XPS models represents a strategic win in a growing market segment. The Nexus FPGA platform developments, targeting Communications, Computing, Industrial and Automotive applications, demonstrate continued innovation despite cost pressures.

The upcoming Developers Conference featuring major tech players like Dell, Microsoft and SICK suggests strong ecosystem engagement. However, the 14% workforce reduction raises concerns about maintaining innovation momentum and customer support capabilities, though management affirms the product roadmap stability.

HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: LSCC), the low power programmable leader, announced financial results today for the fiscal third quarter ended September 28, 2024.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $127.1 million, with GAAP gross margin of 69.0% and GAAP net income of $0.05 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 69.0% with net income per diluted share of $0.24. Third quarter of 2024 results include a one-time GAAP-only charge of $6.5 million related to actions the Company took to drive a comprehensive reduction in spending during the quarter to better align its resources to support the current business level and drive more efficiency across the business. The actions are expected to result in a 14% workforce reduction and 14% reduction in non-headcount operating expenses. The Company expects the operating expense reduction will help drive annual earnings expansion in the low double-digit range in 2025.

Ford Tamer, Chief Executive Officer, said, "Through my meetings with employees, customers, and partners, since joining Lattice, I’m even more convinced that we are in an excellent position to expand market share over the long-term. Third quarter 2024 results were inline with the Company's prior expectations, which reflects the disciplined execution of our strategy and a continued focus on operational efficiency. After careful consideration, we proactively took action in the third quarter to better align our resources to the current business level, while maintaining the stability and integrity of our leadership product roadmap, customer support and demand creation infrastructure. Importantly, we do not expect any additional reductions will be needed. While we expect continued near-term industry headwinds, I am excited about the opportunity to build on Lattice's strong foundation."

Tonya Stevens, Interim Chief Financial Officer, said, "We delivered a solid 69.0% gross margin on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis, which demonstrates the stability of our business model. Our free cash flow margin more than doubled sequentially to 31%. We proactively implemented operating expense reductions in the third quarter to help drive further improvements in profitability, and efficiency. We remain focused on execution of our operating priorities and capital allocation strategy, while delivering value through the return of capital to our shareholders with our sixteenth consecutive quarter of share repurchases."

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights:

  • Appointed Ford Tamer CEO: Lattice announced the appointment of Dr. Ford Tamer as Chief Executive Officer and to the Company’s Board of Directors. Tamer brings to his role extensive industry experience and leadership spanning semiconductors, networking, and enterprise software. In his most recent operating role, Tamer served as President and CEO of Inphi for over nine years, until its merger with Marvell.
  • Ramping New AI-PC Win: Lattice's hardware and software are now powering AI computer vision on the Dell XPS models, which is in addition to Lattice's previously announced design wins on select Dell Latitude models.
  • Nexus Portfolio Expansion: Built on the award-winning Lattice Nexus™ FPGA platform, Lattice announced additional new offerings, and multiple package options that offer class-leading power efficiency, small size, and reliability with flexible migration options. These devices are designed to accelerate a broad range of Communications, Computing, Industrial, and Automotive applications.
  • Developers Conference Update: Lattice announced its Developers Conference on December 10-11, 2024 will feature guest speaker appearances from Dell, Microsoft, SICK, and Teledyne Flir, amongst others, and a technology showcase of more than 75 Lattice-based applications from Lattice and Lattice partners.

GAAP represents U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Non-GAAP represents GAAP excluding the impact of certain activities which the Company's management excludes in analyzing the Company's operating results and in understanding trends in the Company's earnings. Additional information relating to these measures is included below in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” For a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results, see accompanying tables "Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Business Outlook - Fourth Quarter of 2024:

  • Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 is expected to be between $112 million and $122 million.
  • Gross margin percentage for the fourth quarter of 2024 is expected to be 68.0% plus or minus 1% on a non-GAAP basis.
  • Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 are expected to be between $52 million and $54 million on a non-GAAP basis.
  • Income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2024 is expected to be between 5% and 6% on a non-GAAP basis.
  • Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 is expected to be between $0.15 and $0.23 per share on a non-GAAP basis.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release makes reference to non-GAAP financial measures. With respect to the outlook for the fourth quarter of 2024, certain items that affect GAAP measurement of financial measures for gross margin percentage and total operating expenses are not accessible on a forward-looking basis because such items cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable efforts due to the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from non-GAAP measures, including certain large and/or unpredictable charges such as stock-based compensation expense; litigation expense outside the ordinary course of business; and restructuring. Consequently, the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of GAAP measurement for non-GAAP gross margin percentage or non-GAAP total operating expenses for quarterly guidance or a corresponding reconciliation to GAAP for the quarter. From a qualitative perspective, the differences between our GAAP measurement of financial measures for gross margin percentage and total operating expenses and our non-GAAP measure of those items will consist of items similar to those described in the financial tables later in this release for such items historically, including, for example and without limitation, certain large and/or unpredictable charges such as stock-based compensation expense; litigation expense outside the ordinary course of business; and restructuring. Additional information regarding the reasons the Company uses non-GAAP measures, a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, and other information relating to these measures are included in this press release.

Investor Conference Call / Webcast Details:

The dial-in number for the live audio call is 1-877-407-3982 or 1-201-493-6780 with conference identification number 13749552. A live webcast of the conference call will also be available on the investor relations section of www.latticesemi.com. The Company's financial guidance will be limited to the comments on its public quarterly earnings call and the public business outlook statements contained in this press release.

Forward-Looking Statements Notice:

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements involve estimates, assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance and may be forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our rapid product portfolio expansion; long-term position; near-term cyclical industry headwinds; accelerating customer momentum; market improvement; durability of our business model; and the statements under the heading “Business Outlook - Fourth Quarter of 2024.” Other forward-looking statements may be indicated by words such as “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “expect,” “plan,” “project,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “forecast,” “future,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “propose,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

Estimates of future revenue and other financial and operational outcomes are inherently uncertain due to factors such as global economic conditions which may affect customer demand, the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, pricing and inflationary pressures, competitive actions, international trade disputes and sanctions, the potential impact of global pandemics, and other significant risks and uncertainties that are beyond our ability to predict or control. Actual gross margin percentage and operating expenses could vary from the estimates on the basis of, among other things, changes in revenue levels, changes in product pricing and mix, changes in wafer, assembly, test and other costs, variations in manufacturing yields, the failure to sustain operational improvements, and the actual amount of compensation charges due to stock price changes. Actual income tax rate and actual net income on a per share basis may differ from our expectations. Actual results may differ materially from our expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that relate more broadly to our overall business, including those described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Lattice’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, especially those under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, all of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference.

Lattice believes these and other risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for the Company to predict all risk factors. You should not rely on forward-looking statements because actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. In addition, any forward-looking statement applies only as of the date on which it is made. The Company does not intend to and undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Included within this press release and the accompanying tables and notes are certain non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the Company's consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including non-GAAP gross margin, gross margin percentage, R&D expense, SG&A expense, operating expenses, income from operations, other (expense) income, net, income tax expense, net income, net income per share – basic, and net income per share – diluted. The non-GAAP measures presented exclude charges and adjustments primarily related to stock-based compensation and related payroll tax effects, litigation expense outside the ordinary course of business, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring plans, transformation activities, and other charges, and the estimated tax effect of these items, non-cash changes in net deferred income taxes, change in tax law and other tax adjustments. These charges and adjustments are a result of periodic or non-core operating activities of the Company. The Company describes these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciles them to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables and notes attached to this press release.

The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional and useful way of viewing aspects of our performance that, when viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the various factors and trends affecting our ongoing financial performance and operating results than GAAP measures alone. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures for strategic and business decision-making, internal budgeting, forecasting, and resource allocation processes and believes that investors should have access to similar data. The non-GAAP financial information used by the Company may differ from that used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures are included solely for informational and comparative purposes and are not meant as a substitute for GAAP and should be considered together with the consolidated financial information located in the tables attached to this press release.
