Summary Financial Results for the Quarter Ended April 3, 2010:

Revenue for the first quarter of 2010 was $180.8 million, up 52% from the first quarter of 2009. All markets enjoyed year over year revenue growth with Mobile Devices revenue growing 63% and Networks revenue growing 42%.

Net income for the first quarter of 2010 was $13.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter was $18.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock based compensation charges and certain charges associated with acquisitions. Please see the attached supplemental schedule for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2010 was 37.9%, up from 19.6% in the first quarter of 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 39.0%, up from 21.0% in the first quarter of 2009. Gross margin increased due to an improved product sales mix and solid factory utilization.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2010 were $55.3 million, or 30.6% of revenue, up from $40.0 million, or 33.7% of revenue in the first quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the quarter were $52.4 million or 29.0% of revenue, up significantly from the first quarter of 2009 where short-term cost controls were in place.

Inventory turns were 4.9 and DSO was 50 days for the first quarter of 2010. Cash, cash equivalents, and investments increased to $159.6 million or $1.00 per diluted share during the quarter.

Outlook:

The Company believes second quarter revenue will be between $200 million and $210 million, up over 13% sequentially. The Company expects continued solid demand in our networks market and strong factory utilization will lead to a non GAAP gross margin of about 40%. Non GAAP operating expenses are expected to grow to between $57 million and $58 million. Second quarter net income is expected to grow over 28% sequentially to $0.15 on a non-GAAP basis. As of today, the Company is 92% booked to the midpoint of our revenue guidance.
