MACOM
Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“MACOM” or the “Company”)
(NASDAQ: MTSI), a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions, today
announced it has implemented a restructuring plan that will provide an
expected annual expense savings of approximately $50 million dollars
once fully implemented.
The Restructuring Plan Includes:
-
A permanent reduction in MACOM’s hourly, salaried and management
workforce of approximately 250 employees, or 20% of the total
workforce—including personnel in Research and Development, Production,
Sales and Marketing and General and Administrative functions.
Substantially all affected employees have been notified and customary
transition assistance will be provided as a result of the
restructuring. -
The closure of seven product development facilities, including
locations in France, Japan, the Netherlands, Florida, Massachusetts,
New Jersey and Rhode Island.
The Company also announced it will no longer invest in the design and
development of optical modules and subsystems for Data Center
applications. Going forward, MACOM will be a merchant supplier of
semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) and photonic devices and will
support optical module manufacturers at the semiconductor component
level.
“We do not make these decisions lightly, however, these actions are
necessary in order to strengthen our strategic plan,” said Stephen Daly,
President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Company expects approximately $14 million in restructuring charges
including $7 million for employee severance obligations, a majority of
which are expected to be incurred during the third fiscal quarter of
2019. In addition, the Company is performing a recoverability assessment
for its long-lived assets, most specifically its intangible assets that
may be impacted by the restructuring plan. As of March 29, 2019, MACOM’s
intangible assets had a carrying value of $472 million. To date, the
Company has identified approximately $15 million of non-cash impairment
charges in addition to the restructuring charges discussed above,
associated with these restructuring actions.
Updated Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2019 Guidance:
-
Revenue in the quarter is expected to be between $107 million and $109
million, compared to prior guidance of $120 million to $124 million.
The updated guidance reflects the impact of discontinuing shipments to
Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. and certain of its subsidiaries and
affiliates as a result of the U.S. Department of Commerce action of
adding Huawei to its “Entity List.” In addition, the updated guidance
also reflects reduced shipments to certain of MACOM’s distribution
channel partners. -
Non-GAAP gross margin is now expected to be between 39% and 41%, which
includes approximately $14 million in inventory reserves, or 1,300
basis points of gross margin impact. These inventory reserves are
primarily associated with certain Data Center products and products
that would otherwise be shipped to Huawei. This compares to prior
non-GAAP gross margin guidance of 53% to 55%. -
Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share is now expected to between be a
loss of ($0.41) to ($0.45), and does not include any restructuring- or
impairment-related charges. This compares to prior guidance for
non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share of ($0.08) to ($0.04).
