Net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2010 increased 14% year over year and decreased 2% compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Net income in the fourth quarter of 2010 on a GAAP basis was $10.9 million (GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.05). This compares with GAAP net income of $15.1 million (GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.06) in the fourth quarter of 2009 and GAAP net income of $15.2 million (GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.06) in the third quarter of 2010.

This compares with non-GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2009 of $39.2 million (non-GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.17) and non-GAAP net income in the third quarter of 2010 of $42.9 million (non-GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.18).

For the year ended December 26, 2010, net revenues were $635.1 million compared with $496.1 million for the year ended December 27, 2009, an increase of 28% year over year. GAAP operating income in 2010 was $108.6 million compared with GAAP operating income of $56.6 million reported in the year ended December 27, 2009. Non-GAAP operating income in 2010 was $173.7 million compared with non-GAAP operating income of $119.8 million in the prior year. GAAP net income in 2010 was $83.2 million (GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.35) compared with GAAP net income of $46.9 million (GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.20) for the prior year. Non-GAAP net income in 2010 was $168.6 million (non-GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.72) compared with the non-GAAP net income of $115.8 million (non-GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.50) in the year ended December 27, 2009.

“In 2010, we experienced a broad recovery following a difficult recession the prior year. Revenue growth resumed across all of our major businesses including enterprise storage and WAN infrastructure,” said Greg Lang, president and chief executive officer of PMC-Sierra. “With the improved economic environment in 2010, we experienced 28% year-over-year growth in net revenues and 45% growth in non-GAAP operating income.”

For a full reconciliation of GAAP net income (including certain non-GAAP components thereof) to non-GAAP net income (and the most comparable components thereof), please refer to the schedule included with this release. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures provided herein are useful to investors for the purpose of financial analysis. Management uses the non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate its in-period operating performance before gains, losses and other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company’s core operating results. In addition, the non-GAAP measures are used to plan for the Company’s future periods. However, non-GAAP measures are neither stated in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures.

A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.  The Company believes that the additional non-GAAP measures are useful to investors for the purpose of financial analysis.  Management uses these measures internally to evaluate the Company's in-period operating performance before gains, losses and other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company's core operating results.  In addition, the measures are used for planning and forecasting of the Company's future periods.  However, non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures.  Other companies may use different non-GAAP measures and presentation of results.
