Fiscal Year 2011 Financial Results
    Net revenue down 4 percent quarter-on-quarter to $550 million
 
    GAAP gross margin increased to 49.3 percent; Non-GAAP gross margin increased to 52.0 percent
SAN JOSE, Calif., and SINGAPORE — February 23, 2011 — Avago Technologies Limited (Nasdaq: AVGO), a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today reported financial results for its first quarter fiscal year 2011, ended January 30, 2011, and provided guidance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011.
First Quarter Fiscal Year 2011 GAAP Results
Net revenue was $550 million, a decrease of 4 percent compared with the previous quarter, and up 21 percent from the same quarter last year.
Gross margin was $271 million, or 49.3 percent of net revenue. This compares with gross margin of $276 million, or 48.3 percent of net revenue last quarter, and gross margin of $194 million, or 42.5 percent of net revenue in the same quarter last year.
Operating expenses were $129 million. This compares with $131 million in the prior quarter and $116 million in the same quarter the previous year.
Income from operations was $142 million. This compares with $145 million in the prior quarter and $78 million in the same quarter last year.
First quarter net income was $119 million, or $0.48 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $164 million, or $0.66 per diluted share last quarter, and a net income of $38 million, or $0.16 per diluted share in the same quarter last year.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance at the end of the first quarter was $363 million, compared to $561 million at the end of the prior quarter. The decrease over the previous quarter is primarily due to $230 million in principal and $28 million in interest and call premium used to redeem the Company’s outstanding senior subordinated debt in December 2010.
In addition, on December 30, 2010 the Company paid an interim cash dividend of 7 cents ($0.07) per ordinary share, totaling approximately $17 million.
First Quarter Fiscal Year 2011 Non-GAAP Results
Gross margin was $286 million, or 52.0 percent of net revenue. This compares with gross margin of $291 million, or 50.9 percent of net revenue last quarter, and gross margin of $209 million, or 45.8 percent of net revenue in the same quarter last year.
Income from operations was $169 million. This compares with $171 million in the prior quarter and $104 million in the same quarter the previous year.

The guidance provided above is only an estimate of what the Company believes is realizable as of the date of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to GAAP reporting, Avago provides investors with net income or loss, as well as gross margin and operating expenses, on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP information excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, share-based compensation expense, restructuring charges and debt extinguishment losses. Management does not believe that the excluded items are reflective of the Company’s underlying performance. The exclusion of these and other similar items from Avago’s non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual. Avago believes this non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company’s on-going performance and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of the Company’s on-going operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons. These non-GAAP measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial data is included in the supplemental financial data attached to this press release.
