SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SiTime Corporation, (NASDAQ:SITM), the precision timing company, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) Results

Non-GAAP Results

This press release and its attachments include certain non-GAAP supplemental performance measures. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

In the first quarter of 2023, non-GAAP gross margins were $23.7 million, or 61.8% of revenue, non-GAAP operating expenses were $27.3 million, or 71.2% of revenue, non-GAAP loss from operations was $3.6 million, or 9.4% of revenue, and non-GAAP net income was $2.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share.

The reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial results is provided in the financial statements portion of this release.

SiTime believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to SiTime's financial condition and results of operations. SiTime believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight into SiTime's ongoing performance and core operational activities and has chosen to provide these measures for more consistent and meaningful comparison between periods. These measures should only be used to evaluate SiTime's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation, however prior to the first quarter of 2023, the Company also excluded stock-based compensation related payroll taxes from its Non-GAAP financial measures as well. No changes have been made to non-GAAP financial measures from periods prior to the first quarter of 2023, which continue to exclude the effect of stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes.

Inducement Plan Grants

SiTime granted restricted stock unit awards ("RSUs") on May 2, 2023 that were approved by the Compensation Committee of its Board of Directors under SiTime's 2022 Inducement Award Plan, as a material inducement to employment to 7 newly hired non-executive individuals globally. The RSUs were approved in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The inducement grants consisted of an aggregate of 10,705 RSUs. One-fourth of the RSUs will vest on the first February 20, May 20, August 20, or November 20 falling in the one-year anniversary quarter of the applicable vesting start date, and then 1/16th of the RSUs vest in equal quarterly installments on each February 20, May 20, August 20, and November 20, thereafter, subject to each such employee's continued service on each vesting date. The inducement grants are subject to the terms and conditions of award agreements covering the grants and SiTime's 2022 Inducement Award Plan.
