SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 13, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Spansion Inc., the world's largest pure-play provider of Flash memory solutions, today announced financial results for its fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2009.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060118/SFW077LOGO)
Spansion Japan Limited, a subsidiary of Spansion Inc., commenced corporate reorganization proceedings in Japan on March 3, 2009. As a result, Spansion Inc. is no longer able to consolidate the financial results of Spansion Japan Limited in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, Spansion Japan Limited remains fully dependent on Spansion Inc. as its sole source of funding, its sole foundry customer, and its sole distribution agent. In addition, Spansion Japan Limited and Spansion Inc. continue to operate, as they did prior to the commencement of the reorganization proceedings, on a collaborative basis. Therefore, in the accompanying tables, Spansion Inc. is presenting certain non-GAAP financial information reflecting the consolidation of Spansion Japan Limited, because management believes their collective financial results are relevant to investor, creditor, and other stakeholder understanding of the company's business, particularly during the reorganization process.
Net Sales
Non-GAAP net sales for the first quarter of 2009 were $401 million, down 14% from the prior quarter, largely in line with seasonal trends. Non-GAAP net sales were down 30% compared to the first quarter of 2008, primarily due to decreased global demand for Flash memory as a result of the continued deterioration of the macroeconomic environment. On a GAAP-basis, Spansion Inc. net sales for the first quarter of 2009 were $400 million.
In the first quarter of 2009, the company's Consumer, Set-top Box and Industrial Division (CSID), which focuses on the embedded solutions market, generated non-GAAP net sales of $224 million, a decrease of 8% compared to the prior quarter and 18% from Q1 of 2008. Non-GAAP net sales for the Wireless Solutions Division (WSD), which focuses on the wireless handset market, were $174 million, a decrease of 21% compared to the prior quarter and 41% from the first quarter of 2008. Spansion Inc. GAAP net sales for CSID were $222 million, and $174 million for WSD in the first quarter of 2009.
Gross Margin
Non-GAAP gross margin was 6% in the first quarter of 2009, down from approximately 17% in the first quarter of 2008 due to the underutilization of Spansion's manufacturing facilities during the early part of the first quarter of 2009. GAAP gross margin for Spansion Inc. was (2%) in the first quarter of 2009.
The company experienced a relatively stable pricing environment in Q1 of 2009.
Operating Expenses
During the first quarter of 2009, management continued its aggressive cost reductions as part of its restructuring efforts. Total operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis were $112 million in the first quarter of 2009 and included $13 million of restructuring charges, down approximately 43% from the first quarter of 2008. The company believes that its cost reduction efforts have further reduced its operating expense run rate by approximately 15% since the end of its first quarter of 2009. GAAP operating expenses for Spansion Inc. in the first quarter 2009 were $106 million and included $13 million of restructuring charges.
In addition to operating expense reductions, the company reduced non-GAAP capital expenditures to $7 million in the first quarter of 2009, down from $177 million in the first quarter of 2008. Capital expenditures on a GAAP basis in the first quarter of 2009 were $4 million.
Net Loss
Non-GAAP net loss in the first quarter of 2009 was $112 million compared to a net loss of $120 million in the first quarter of 2008. The non-GAAP net loss in the first quarter 2009 was primarily driven by $104 million in underutilization costs, due mostly to the temporary shutdown of facilities in the first half of the quarter, and $21 million in restructuring and bankruptcy-related charges. In the first quarter of 2009, net loss on a GAAP basis for Spansion Inc. was $89 million.
Cash
Spansion's consolidated operations ended the first quarter with approximately $124 million in cash, on a non-GAAP basis. On a GAAP basis, Spansion Inc. ended the first quarter of 2009 with cash of approximately $95 million. Since the close of the first quarter of 2009, cash collections from customers have outpaced cash disbursements. As a result, non-GAAP total cash on hand as of May 3, 2009 was approximately $208 million, of which approximately $132 million was held by Spansion LLC, the U.S. operating subsidiary of Spansion Inc. GAAP cash on hand as of May 3, 2009 was $141 million. Spansion believes it has adequate liquidity for ongoing normal operations throughout the reorganization process.
"Q1 was a pivotal quarter for Spansion. We took definitive actions to cut our operating expenses, restructure our balance sheet, and refocus the company," said John Kispert, CEO of Spansion. "Our cost structure is improving and with our long-term focus on embedded solutions and licensing, we are driving towards an operating model with improved gross margins and operating cash flows."
Additional information regarding the company's full year 2008 financial results is available in the company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the company's first quarter of 2009 financial results will be available in the company's Form 10-Q when it is filed with the SEC.

Cautionary Statement:
This release contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those statements. The risks and uncertainties include statements related to the success of cost reductions, the presence of adequate liquidity, the completion of the Chapter 11 restructuring process, the ability to reach a sustainable business model and the ability survive as a stand-alone entity. The risks and uncertainties related to working capital include the fact that the company has cash in various geographical locations and all or part of the total worldwide cash may not be available in either the U.S. or for working capital as a result of the limitation inherent in the Chapter 11 proceedings in the U.S. or the corporate reorganization proceeding in Japan or as a result of various restrictions in certain geographies as to the ability to remit funds back to the parent company. The risks and uncertainties related to Chapter 11 filings include: any negative impacts on Spansion's business, results of operations, financial position or cash management arrangements; the inability to freely deploy its cash resources throughout the company; the negative impact on relationships with employees, customers, suppliers and contract manufacturers and other stakeholders; the failure of Spansion to obtain initial court orders substantially on the terms applied for; the adequacy of Spansion's cash on hand to fund its ongoing operations or ability to arrange for sufficient DIP financing during the bankruptcy proceeding; actions or orders taken by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court that may impact Spansion operations; the failure of Spansion to obtain the requisite approvals of affected creditors or the courts for any restructuring plan, or to successfully implement such a plan or obtain sufficient exit financing, if required, within the time granted by any court, leading to the likely liquidation of Spansion's assets; that Spansion's common stock could have no value in and following the approval of a restructuring plan and could be cancelled. In addition, risks and uncertainties relating to the company's ability to restructure successfully include Spansion and Spansion Japan Limited's ability to continue their operations while in their respective Chapter 11 or corporate reorganization proceedings, respectively; the ability to capture anticipated cost savings related to the previously- announced reduction in force and other measures taken by the company; and the implementation and success of Spansion's plan to narrow its focus on the embedded solutions market. In addition, the instability of the global economy and tight credit markets could continue to adversely impact Spansion's business in several respects, including adversely impacting credit quality and insolvency risk of the company and its customers and business partners, including suppliers and distributors; bookings; and reductions and deferrals of demand for Spansion products. The company urges investors to review in detail the risks and uncertainties discussed in the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2008. Unless otherwise required by applicable laws, the company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
