Does section 654 of the California Criminal Code apply to a defendant who is convicted of two separate crimes?

At the sentencing hearing, the trial court stated that "[t]he Court does find that [section] 654 is not applicable to this situation. The defendant may be sentenced on both [convictions]." Although the trial court did not specify its findings, "[a] trial court's implied finding that a defendant harbored a separate intent and objective for each offense will be upheld on appeal if it is supported by substantial evidence.
