Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On November 1, 2010, ANADIGICS, Inc. (“ANADIGICS”) is issuing a press release and holding a conference call announcing its financial results for the third quarter 2010. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
The attached press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP, consisting of non-GAAP net income or loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share. Management uses non-GAAP net income or loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share to evaluate the company's operating and financial performance in light of business objectives, for planning purposes, when publicly providing our business outlook and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. ANADIGICS believes that these measures are useful to investors because they enhance investors' ability to review the company's business from the same perspective as the company's management and facilitate comparisons of this period's results with prior periods.  These non-GAAP measures exclude charges related to stock-based compensation, restructuring and impairment charges and recoveries, auction rate securities charges, the refund of certain R&D tax credits and non-comparative charges in 2009 from the settlement of a commercial dispute with a customer and inventory reserves associated with reduced demand and recoveries and non-comparative charges in 2009 resulting from inventory reserves associated with reduced demand.  Non-GAAP measures are used by some investors when assessing the ongoing operating and financial performance of our Company. These financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Management acknowledges that stock-based compensation is a recurring cost and is an important part of our employee’s compensation and impacts their performance. However the expense is non-cash in nature and there are various valuation methodologies and assumptions used in determining stock-based compensation that may be unrelated to operations, such as volatility and current interest rates. The presentation of the additional information should not be considered a substitute for net income or loss or income or loss per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.   The primary material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP measures as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are (i) they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in ANADIGICS industry, and (ii) they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance.
Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, ANADIGICS has included a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

ANADIGICS ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2010 RESULTS

Quarterly Net Sales of $61.3 Million; up18.6% Sequentially and 67% Year-Over-Year
Year-To-Date Net Sales of $156.5 Million; up 58.6% Year-Over-Year
Quarterly Earnings in GAAP and Non-GAAP of $0.03 and $0.06 per diluted Share, respectively


WARREN, N.J., November 1, 2010—ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions in the broadband wireless and wireline communications markets, reported third quarter 2010 net sales of $61.3 million, a sequential increase of 18.6% and an increase of 67% above the third quarter of 2009.  For the nine months ended October 2, 2010, net sales were $156.5 million, up approximately 58.6% over the prior year.

As of October 2, 2010, cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term marketable securities totaled $96 million, up sequentially by $4.2 million.

GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $2.3 million, or $0.03 per share compared with a GAAP loss of $12.9 million or $0.21 per share in the year-ago quarter.   Non-GAAP net income was $4.4 million, or $0.06 per share compared with a Non-GAAP loss of $6.4 million or $0.10 per share in the year-ago quarter.

Mario Rivas, President & CEO, commented, “The strong revenue achieved in the third quarter of 18.6% sequential growth, which was higher than our previous guidance of 11% sequential growth, reflects our increased 3G market share position within our wireless customer base and the positive traction and market share gains realized in both WiMax and cable infrastructure within Broadband.  Specifically, Wireless and Broadband grew sequentially by 18.1% and 20%, respectively.  We believe that the third quarter benefited from stronger order pull in both Wireless and Broadband ahead of the typical fourth quarter holiday trade season, which will affect the revenue in our fourth quarter.

“Looking into 2011, we are very excited about our new product design portfolio for 3G, 4G / LTE and Multi Mode Multi Band (MMMB) and several design engagements with chipset providers and Tier I OEMs.  In particular, we officially signed a Cooperation Agreement with a new reference design partner, initiated design activities with another new reference design partner and increased design activities with an existing reference design partner. Enhancing our business prospects longer term, we also completed negotiations on a Product Purchase Agreement with one of the larger Tier I OEMs.    With the industry’s strong 3G unit growth forecasted next year in wireless handsets, we expect 2011 to be another positive year for our Company.

“In Broadband, we have a line up of new products addressing market drivers in DOCSIS 3.0 enabled devices, cable modems, CATV subscriber home gateways, hybrid line amplifiers and 75-Ohn Gain Blocks for CATV infrastructure, mobile WiMax enabled devices and small-cell Wireless infrastructure for 3G and 4G coverage including Picocells and Femtocells, which positions the Company well in 2011.

“Financially the stronger revenue in the third quarter and operating leverage in our business provided for a healthy increase in earnings, which contributed to a $3.3 million or $0.04 sequential improvement in Non-GAAP earnings per share.  At the same time, we generated cash flow from operations of $5.0 million in the third quarter, contributing to our existing balance in cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term marketable securities of $96 million.  Delivering on four key financial metrics – sales growth, margin expansion, earnings per share and cash generation, was especially satisfying and remains a primary focus of the Company.”

Business Outlook

In regard to the fourth quarter 2010, Tom Shields, Executive Vice President and CFO, commented, “With our past practice of providing revenue guidance equal to our existing order backlog, we are expecting revenue of approximately $57 million.   We believe this reflects a pause in orders, caused by inventory rebalancing, by our Broadband customers following the robust 20% sequential growth reported in the third quarter and shortened order lead times by Wireless customers, particularly in Korea and China, attributable to the solid order pull in the third quarter.  While Broadband revenue could decline sequentially by approximately 25%, this is viewed as temporary given the typical fourth quarter seasonality evidenced in our business in prior years.   Our current backlog for Wireless is equal to the Wireless revenue reported in the third quarter, but higher than historical fill levels.

“Sequentially, we expect slightly higher gross margin and lower operating expenses, with both GAAP and Non-GAAP earnings per share in the fourth quarter to approximate third quarter levels of $0.03 and $0.06, respectively.  We also expect to exit the year above $100 million in cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term marketable securities on anticipated positive cash generation in the fourth quarter.”

The statements regarding the Company’s anticipated future performance are forward looking and actual results may differ materially. Please see safe harbor statement at the end of this press release.

This press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP, consisting of non-GAAP net income or loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share.

ANADIGICS believes that these measures are useful to investors because they enhance investors' ability to review the Company's business from the same perspective as the Company's management and facilitate comparisons of this period's results with prior periods. These non-GAAP measures exclude charges related to stock-based compensation, restructuring and impairment charges and recoveries, auction rate securities charges and recoveries, the refund of certain R&D tax credits and non-comparative charges in 2009 resulting from the settlement of a commercial dispute with a customer and inventory reserves associated with reduced demand.

Limitations of non-GAAP financial measures. The primary material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP measures as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are (i) they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in ANADIGICS industry, and (ii) they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. We compensate for these limitations by providing reconciliations of reported net income or loss and income or loss per share to non-GAAP net income or net loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share, respectively, within this press release.
