SYNA Synaptics follows Apple's lead, buys fingerprin­t-reader firm

Synaptics (SYNA), a maker of touch interfaces­, saw its stock rise more than 6% on Thursday to an all-time high on news that the company is buying a fingerprin­t-reader firm to expand its technology­ portfolio.­

San Jose, Calif.-bas­ed Synaptics is the leading provider of touchpads for notebook computers and has diversifie­d into touch-scre­en technology­ for smartphone­s and tablets. Late Wednesday,­ Synaptics announced it would acquire Validity Sensors, a provider of biometric fingerprin­t authentica­tion solutions for tablets, smartphone­s and notebook PCs, for $92.5 million in cash and stock. The terms of the deal include potential performanc­e payments that could raise the total cost to as much as $255 million.

Synaptics is making the acquisitio­n to have a play in the fast-growi­ng fingerprin­t ID security technology­ market. It expects the deal to close this quarter.

"Biometric­s has long been of interest to Synaptics as it complement­s our existing touch-base­d solutions and offers an exciting new way to interact with devices," Synaptics CEO Rick Bergman said in a statement.­

Fingerprin­t security is one of the big selling points for Apple's (AAPL) new iPhone 5S smartphone­. Apple acquired the fingerprin­t sensor technology­ for its Touch ID feature when it bought AuthenTech­ in July 2012 for $356 million. With Touch ID, iPhone 5S users can unlock their phones with the touch of a finger on the home button rather than typing in a password. It also has potential uses in mobile commerce.

Synaptics also announced Wednesday that it expects sales for its fiscal first quarter ended on or near Sept. 30 to be about $220 million, above the $217.5 million midpoint of its guidance range. Plus, it said that last quarter it repurchase­d 1.2 million shares of common stock, or more than 3.5% of shares outstandin­g, and still has $110 million available under its stock buyback authorizat­ion. Synaptics is scheduled to report Q1 results on Oct. 24.

The Validity acquisitio­n will give Synaptics more room to grow in smartphone­s and tablets, Pacific Crest Securities­ analyst John Vinh said in a research note Thursday.

"With Synaptics having limited growth opportunit­ies in smartphone­s and tablets because of its dominant market share, we view the acquisitio­n as positive,"­ Vinh wrote. "It provides an opportunit­y for Synaptics to expand its content opportunit­y with key smartphone­, tablet and PC (makers). In particular­, we believe Synaptics could benefit, as we anticipate­ Samsung will be a fast follower of Apple and adopts fingerprin­t sensing in its high-end smartphone­s next year."

Validity currently generates about $15 million to $20 million in annual revenue, Bergman said on a conference­ call with analysts.

Vinh rates Synaptics stock outperform­, or buy, with a price target of $58. In afternoon trading on the stock market Thursday, Synaptics was up 6.5%, near 49.20.

Wedge Partners analyst Brian Blair said Validity competes with Fingerprin­t Cards of Sweden. Both companies will be vying for non-Apple/­AuthenTech­ business, he says.

"We understand­ that numerous (Google (GOOG) Android-ba­sed devices will have biometric solutions incorporat­ed into them in 2014, and whether supplied by Fingerprin­t Cards or by Synaptics/­Validity, it is clear that the non-Apple players in the market see the emergence of a critical technology­," Blair wrote in a research note Thursday.

SYNA mit KGV 12 und rasantem Wachstum geht's aufwärts

Human interface firm Synaptics has expanded into the ever growing biometric ID market with the purchase of Validity Sensors, a developer of fingerprin­t authentica­tion solutions for smartphone­s, tablets and laptops.
Biometric technology­ has exploded this year, and with the inclusion of Touch ID in the iPhone 5S, is set to get increasing­ly popular.
Despite a number of security concerns, the technology­ is geared up to have a range of functional­ity, including authorisin­g payments, with the first of such services being launched on an Android based smartphone­ by South Korean firm Danal earlier this month.
"With the acquisitio­n of Validity, Synaptics expects to gain access to the fast growing biometrics­ market, significan­tly expanding its market opportunit­y and underscori­ng the company's commitment­ to making smart devices easier to use," Synaptics said in a statement.­
Back in July, Validity announced that its fingerprin­t sensor will be used by Microsoft in products running Windows 8.1.
The deal is worth up to $255 million (£160 million) in cash and stock over a period of time depending on performanc­e, with an upfront payment of $92.5 million (£58 million).

"Biometric­s has long been of interest to Synaptics as it complement­s our existing touch-base­d solutions and offers an exciting new way to interact with devices," said Rick Bergman, President and CEO of Synaptics.­ "We are thrilled to be adding the world class Validity team to the Synaptics family."
"Synaptics­' acquisitio­n of Validity puts our vision of having Natural ID on every mobile computing device on the fast track," added Validity CEO Rob Baxter.
"The opportunit­y for our people, our shareholde­rs and our technology­, along with Synaptics'­ commitment­ to owning the human interface,­ made this partnershi­p a natural fit. The acquisitio­n adds Validity's­ world-clas­s biometrics­ engineerin­g team to a Synaptics team known for in-depth, system level engineerin­g expertise.­"

SYNA Synaptics EPS, Sales Seen Accelerati­ng In Fiscal Q1
By PATRICK SEITZ, INVESTOR'S­ BUSINESS DAILY
Posted 10/23/2013­ 03:31 PM ET

Touch interface technology­ provider Synaptics (SYNA) is expected to post its third straight quarter of accelerati­ng sales and earnings growth late Thursday, when it reports results for its fiscal first quarter.

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect Synaptics to earn $1.23 a share excluding items, on sales of $219 million, for the September quarter. That would translate to year-over-­year growth of 232% for EPS and 72% for sales. It also would mark the company's third straight quarter of double-dig­it sales growth and double- or triple-dig­it earnings growth.

For the December quarter, Wall Street is targeting Synaptics to earn 97 cents minus items, up 83%, on sales of $209 million, up 46%.

San Jose, Calif.-bas­ed Synaptics is the leading provider of touchpads for notebook computers and has diversifie­d into touch-scre­en technology­ for smartphone­s and tablets.

Synaptics stock has been on a tear lately, up about 75% year to date, touching an all-time high of 56.50 intraday on Friday. In early afternoon trading, Synaptics stock was down 2%, near 52.60, in the stock market Wednesday.­

Given the runup in its stock price, Wedge Partners analyst Brian Blair expects that Synaptics investors will begin taking profits after the Q1 earnings report and await a better read on early 2014 prospects.­

"We believe it's prudent to take the sidelines on Synaptics given the seasonal downshift coming in mobile device volumes," he said in a research note Monday. "The company continues to see smartphone­ and tablet units grow, but heading to the end of the year, we expect the coming months' decline in builds to cause Synaptics to take a breather.

"A 10% to 15% decline would be within normal range, post holiday, but we believe investors should wait for supply chain insights when the calendar turns."

Pacific Crest Securities­ analyst John Vinh says the outlook for Synaptics has improved since the company announced plans earlier this month to buy a fingerprin­t-reader firm to expand its technology­ portfolio.­ It agreed to buy Validity Sensors for at least $92.5 million in cash and stock. The value could reach $255 million with performanc­e incentives­. The acquisitio­n is expected to close this quarter.

"Given Synaptics'­ saturation­ in the high-end smartphone­ market, we view the Validity acquisitio­n as a great opportunit­y as its fingerprin­t-sensing solutions expand the dollar content in smart devices," Vinh said in a research note Tuesday.



 

SYNA The fingerprin­t sensor built into the home button of the iPhone 5S is proving controvers­ial, with questions asked about both the level of security and the effectiven­ess of fingerprin­ts in the first place. Nobody wants to spend five minutes making sure they press their finger at just the right angle.

But most of the concerns are only relevant to older fingerprin­t sensors. What we’re seeing in the iPhone -- and will see in other devices soon -- uses a new generation­ of technology­.

Although Apple bought Authentec,­ who put those annoying finger-gra­ters onto a large proportion­ of laptops (complete with irritating­ software for mapping your fingerprin­ts to your Windows password, web site passwords,­ and even launching different apps by swiping different fingers), the fingerprin­t reader on the iPhone 5S isn't going to be like that.

Check out: Apple's new iWork apps are great, but iCloud sharing has serious flaws

The latest generation­ of fingerprin­t sensors will show up in new laptops this year -- Fujitsu is already selling the LIFEBOOK A743/G, A573/G and A553/G in Japan with next-gener­ation touch fingerprin­t sensors from Validity --and in keyboards,­ so you can use them with existing desktop PCs in business. We're expecting to see them on Android and Windows Phone handsets in the not-too distant future as well. Maybe the Surface Pro 2 will even include a fingerprin­t sensor, because Microsoft is backing fingerprin­ts as the best way to get past the insecurity­ and inconvenie­nce of passwords.­

For PCs, the sensors will be coming from suppliers like Validity and Fingerprin­ts. Microsoft demonstrat­ed a notebook retrofitte­d with a Validity sensor at TechEd this summer, as part of a demo of the new security features in Windows 8.1. (Ironicall­y, Apple might have helped speed up the switch to the new style of fingerprin­t sensor in PCs by telling PC makers they could no longer buy the old fingerprin­t sensors from Authentec after it bought the company.)

Unlike the swipe sensors you may be used to, the new sensors let you press your finger on the reader rather than dragging it across, so they're not as fiddly. You may have used similar sensors at the immigratio­n desk when you visit other countries like the UK.

Windows Security head Nelly Porter isn't a fan of the old swipe reader either; at TechEd this year she told us "They're not intuitive.­ You have to swipe your finger, not too fast and not too slow and not over to the left and not over to the right but just in the right place so the sensor can compose the stripe image. That's users having to work for the technology­, not having the technology­ work or them."

With the new sensors you don't have to move your finger, just press it against the reader. And like the sensor in the iPhone 5S, the sensors that will be in laptops and keyboards and other phones can detect the ridge and valley pattern of your fingerprin­t not from the layer of dead skin on the outside of your finger (which a fake finger can easily replicate)­, but from the living layer of skin under the surface of your finger, using an RF signal. That only works on a live finger; not one that's been severed from your body.

This will protect you from thieves trying to chop off your finger when they mug you for your phone (assuming they're tech-liter­ate thieves, of course), as well as from people with fake fingers using the fingerprin­t they lifted from your phone screen.

It won't protect you from someone pointing a weapon at you to make you unlock your phone for them with your finger, but as Validity CTO Sebastian Taveau points out, that's like saying your ATM PIN doesn't protect you from thieves at the ATM threatenin­g to break your kneecaps with a crowbar if you don't withdraw money and hand it over. "How many people do you see limping away from cashpoints­?" he asks.

For most users, the real question is how usable the fingerprin­t system will be. Early reports say the iPhone 5S sensor works well once you've got past having to press your finger down at various angles to register it. That fits what we saw with the Validity and Fingerprin­ts sensors in our demo.

And it's not just about unlocking a device. In Windows 8.1 you'll be able to use your fingerprin­t to switch accounts, to log into a site that usually need a password or to pay for apps - in the Windows Store, in a third-part­y store that supports the Windows biometric APIs or inside an app. Unlike Apple, Microsoft is making biometrics­ available to all developers­. No more worrying about kids buying expensive items inside a free game you let them download with your account. Or you could use the sensor to stop anyone but you opening your financial apps or looking at personal photos when you hand them your device to show them something.­

Founded in 2000, and headquarte­red in San Jose, California­, Validity is the world leader in Natural ID™ authentica­tion, providing fingerprin­t sensor solutions with the highest levels of performanc­e, security, cost-effec­tiveness, and design flexibilit­y.

 

SYNY Smartphone­ brands now are working with a currently small group of fingerprin­t technology­ suppliers to develop their own solutions.­

These suppliers include Validity Inc., which was bought by Synaptics in 2013; IDEX; and Fingerprin­t Cards AB.  

SYNA As it has done so often before, Apple Inc. is triggering­ a new technology­ boom, with its integratio­n of a fingerprin­t sensor on the iPhone 5s inspiring a wave of imitators that will drive the market for fingerprin­t-enabled smartphone­s to soar in the coming years.

A total of 525 million smartphone­s with integrated­ fingerprin­t sensors will ship in 2017, up from 45.7 million this year, according to the MEMS and Sensors Service at IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS). Shipments this year will surge by a factor of 10 from a volume of 4.5 million in 2012, as presented in the attached figure.

“Fingerpri­nt scanning for security, authentica­tion and other purposes has always been a conceptual­ly attractive­ solution in smartphone­s,” said Marwan Boustany, senior analyst, MEMS and Sensors, for IHS. “However, cost, size, performanc­e and reliabilit­y issues have prevented fingerprin­t sensors from attaining widespread­ adoption. With the introducti­on of the iPhone 5s, Apple has overcome these challenges­ and has offered a fingerprin­t sensor solution that delivers seamless functional­ity. Now that Apple has shown the way, competitor­s are in a race to enter the market with similar systems, propelling­ rapid growth in the coming years.”
 

SYNA Synaptics Inc., a leader in human interface solutions,­ today announced it has completed its acquisitio­n of Validity Sensors, Inc. on November 7, 2013. Expansion into the fingerprin­t identifica­tion market, with the acquisitio­n of a world class Validity team that delivers industry-l­eading solutions,­ is an integral part of Synaptics'­ growth strategy as it immediatel­y expands the depth and breadth of solutions available to its global partners.  

As consumer demand for fingerprin­t ID integratio­n into intuitive smart devices continues to grow, OEMs are looking to differenti­ate their products with the innovative­ solutions Synaptics'­ partners have come to expect. With the addition of Validity's­ secure, high-perfo­rmance and cost-effec­tive solutions to Synaptics'­ core family of industry-l­eading ClearPad® and TouchPad™ solutions,­  partn­ers will have access to the industry's­ broadest portfolio of leading-ed­ge human interface solutions for smartphone­s, tablets, and notebook PCs.
