Power Integrations Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Financial Results

Quarterly revenues increased 18 percent year-over-year to $105.2 million; GAAP earnings were $0.16 per diluted share; non-GAAP earnings were $0.30 per diluted share

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI) today announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2024. Net revenues for the fourth quarter were $105.2 million, down nine percent from the prior quarter and up 18 percent from the fourth quarter of 2023. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter was $9.1 million or $0.16 per diluted share compared to $0.25 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $0.25 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2023. Cash flow from operations for the fourth quarter was $14.7 million.

In addition to its GAAP results, the company provided non-GAAP measures that exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and the related tax effects. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $17.2 million or $0.30 per diluted share compared to $0.40 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $0.22 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2023. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results is included with the tables accompanying this press release.

For the full year, net revenues were $419.0 million, compared to $444.5 million in the prior year. Full-year GAAP net income was $32.2 million or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to $0.97 per diluted share in the prior year. Non-GAAP net income was $1.16 per diluted share, compared to $1.29 per diluted share in the prior year. Cash flow from operations for the full year was $81.2 million.

Commented Balu Balakrishnan, chairman and CEO of Power Integrations: “Fourth-quarter revenues were up 18 percent year-over-year, and we expect another double-digit increase in the first quarter. While the demand outlook is cloudy, especially in light of uncertainty around trade policy, we expect growth in a variety of end-markets in 2025, including renewable energy, high-voltage DC transmission, metering, automotive, appliances and more. Products featuring our proprietary PowiGaN™ technology should contribute significant growth this year as adoption accelerates across a broad set of high-voltage power-conversion applications.”

Additional Highlights

  • Power Integrations paid a dividend of $0.21 per share on December 31, 2024. A dividend of $0.21 per share will be paid on March 31, 2025, to stockholders of record as of February 28, 2025.

  • The company utilized $1.9 million for share repurchases during the fourth quarter, leaving $48.1 million remaining on its repurchase authorization as of December 31.

Financial Outlook

The company issued the following forecast for the first quarter of 2025:

  • Revenues are expected to be flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, plus or minus five percent.

  • GAAP gross margin is expected to be between 55 percent and 55.5 percent, and non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be between 55.5 percent and 56 percent. The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP is primarily attributable to stock-based compensation, with a smaller impact from amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.

  • GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $54 million; non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $45 million. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to exclude approximately $9 million of stock-based compensation.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the company’s consolidated financial statements, which are presented according to GAAP, the company provides certain non-GAAP financial information that excludes stock-based compensation expenses recorded under ASC 718-10, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and the tax effects of these items. The company uses these measures in its financial and operational decision-making and, with respect to one measure, in setting performance targets for compensation purposes. The company believes that these non-GAAP measures offer important analytical tools to help investors understand its operating results, and to facilitate comparability with the results of companies that provide similar measures. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial information. For example, stock-based compensation is an important component of the company’s compensation mix and will continue to result in significant expenses in the company’s GAAP results for the foreseeable future but is not reflected in the non-GAAP measures. Also, other companies, including companies in Power Integrations’ industry, may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures are attached to this press release.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The above statements regarding the company’s forecast for its first-quarter financial performance and expectation of growth across a wide range of end-markets in 2025 are forward-looking statements reflecting management’s current expectations and beliefs. These statements are based on current information that is, by its nature, subject to rapid and even abrupt change. Due to risks and uncertainties associated with the company’s business, actual results could differ materially from those projected or implied by these statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the company’s ability to supply products and its ability to conduct other aspects of its business such as competing for new design wins; changes in global economic and geopolitical conditions, including such factors as inflation, armed conflicts and trade negotiations, which may impact the level of demand for the company’s products; potential changes and shifts in customer demand away from end products that utilize the company’s integrated circuits to end products that do not incorporate the company’s products; the effects of competition, which may cause the company’s revenues to decrease or cause the company to decrease its selling prices for its products; unforeseen costs and expenses; and unfavorable fluctuations in component costs or operating expenses resulting from changes in commodity prices and/or exchange rates. In addition, new product introductions and design wins are subject to the risks and uncertainties that typically accompany development and delivery of complex technologies to the marketplace, including product development delays and defects and market acceptance of the new products. These and other risk factors that may cause actual results to differ are more fully explained under the caption “Risk Factors” in the company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2024. The company is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any obligation) to update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
