PLX Technology, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results
 
Records in PCI Express Revenue, New Design Wins Reported
 
SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 30, 2012 -- PLX Technology, Inc. (PLX) (NASDAQ: PLXT), a leading global supplier of high-speed connectivity solutions enabling emerging data center architectures, today announced second quarter revenues of $26.1 million and a GAAP net loss of $18.2 million, or $0.41 per share (diluted).
 
“Our PCI Express products continued to thrive during the second quarter by delivering record numbers in both revenue and new design win commitments.  Besides our traditional applications, we remain optimistic in our PCI Express product penetration in traditional Ethernet and InfiniBand based applications,” said Ralph Schmitt, PLX® president and CEO.  “We also had very strong bookings in the quarter and expect to continue to see growth in the coming quarters due to the rapid adoption of our Gen3 products.”

“The net loss reflects the impairment of certain intangible assets associated with PLX’s Ethernet business,” said Art Whipple, chief financial officer, PLX.  “IDT’s stated intention during the second quarter of divesting our Ethernet business and the resulting impact to the business environment during the quarter required an assessment of the carrying value of certain intangible assets.  We have taken a non-cash charge of $10.3 million against these assets.”
 
Product Highlights
PLX and One Stop Systems, Inc. (OSS) announced a collaboration to deliver the world’s first industrial-grade high-performance computing systems and PCIe-over-cable products based on the PCIe Gen3 standard.  The alliance pairs PLX PCIe Gen3 switches with OSS’s premium design architectures, ideal for telecom, data centers and industrial markets.  OSS is a pioneer in PCIe development since the standard’s inception and again leads the industry with these new PLX-enabled Gen3 designs.
 
PLX’s TeraPHY® 10GBase-T transceivers were recognized as “Best of Interop” finalists at the perennial favorite INTEROP Las Vegas event, the foremost industry trade show tailored for highlighting cutting-edge networking solutions.  The committee selected the PLX PHY based on its significant technical impact and potential of advancing the business technology market.
 
Tehuti Networks, a fabless semiconductor company focused on mass adoption of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and PLX announced a collaboration to deliver a superior network interface card (NIC) reference design platform utilizing 10GBase-T connectivity to enable bandwidth-intensive desktop workstation applications and low- to mid-range network appliances.  This combination creates a new gateway to cost-conscious consumer applications, as well as to intensive data environments.
 
Merger and Acquisition Update
On May 7, 2012, in connection with the previously announced merger agreement between PLX Technology and Integrated Device Technology (IDT), dated April 30, 2012, IDT and PLX made premerger filings under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”) with the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.  On July 6, 2012, IDT and PLX each received a request for additional information from the FTC (the “Second Request”).  This Second Request extends the waiting period applicable to the exchange offer under the HSR Act, which was set to expire on July 6, 2012, at 11:59 p.m., New York City time.  The waiting period is extended until 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the thirtieth day (or the next business day) after both IDT and PLX substantially comply with the Second Request, as specified by the HSR Act and the implementing rules, subject to extension by agreement among the parties.
 
On July 11, 2012, PLX announced the sale of a specific direct broadcast satellite intellectual property and corresponding technologies to Entropic Communications, Inc.  The sold assets relates to the design and development of a digital channel stacking switch (dCSS) semiconductor product for up to $8 million. In addition to the asset purchase agreement, Entropic paid a one-time $4 million licensing fee for intellectual property, which is related to the acquired assets.
