Inphi Corporation Announces First Quarter 2014 Results

Reports 38% Year over Year Growth and 7.1% Sequential Growth

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 29, 2014 – Inphi Corporation (NYSE: IPHI), a leading provider of high-speed analog and mixed signal semiconductor solutions for the communications, data center and computing markets, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2014 was $31.2 million, up 7.1% sequentially from $29.1 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2013. This was up 38% year over year compared with $22.6 million for the first quarter of 2013.

Gross margin under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the first quarter of 2014 was 64.5%, compared with 63.3% of revenue for the first quarter of 2013.

GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2014 was $1.0 million, or ($0.03) per diluted common share, compared with GAAP net loss of $7.7 million, or ($0.27) per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2013.

Inphi reports gross margin, net income (loss), and earnings per share in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP gross margin, net income, and earnings per share, as well as a description of the items excluded from the non-GAAP calculations, is included in the financial statements portion of this news release.

Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis for the first quarter of 2014 was 65.3%, compared with 64.3% for the first quarter of 2013.

Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2014 was $2.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted common share. This compared with non-GAAP net income of $31,000, or $0.00 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2013.

“We are pleased that several of our recent product investments drove our 38% year-over-year revenue growth,” said Ford Tamer, President and CEO of Inphi Corporation. “We are working closely with our Tier 1 customers to deliver on the next generation of data movement interconnects, and meet the increased demand for faster, better and more cost effective bandwidth in service provider networks and data centers.”

The following statements are based on our current expectations for the second quarter of 2014. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially.

    Stock-based compensation expense is expected to be in the range of $5.6 million to $5.8 million.

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in the press release and certain matters to be discussed on the first quarter of 2014 conference call regarding Inphi Corporation, which are not historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as outlook, believe, expect, may, will, provide, could, and should, and the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These statements include statements relating to: our business outlook and current expectations for the second quarter of 2014, including our revenue, gross margin, stock-based compensation expense, operating performance, net income, earnings per share; expectations of our growth; expectations of economic trends and macroeconomic conditions; and benefits of using non-GAAP financial measures. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated as a result of various factors, including: the Company’s ability to sustain profitable operations due to its history of losses and accumulated deficit; dependence on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of revenue and lack of long-term purchase commitments from our customers; product defects; risk related to intellectual property matters, lengthy sales cycle and competitive selection process; lengthy and expensive qualification processes; ability to develop new or enhanced products in a timely manner; development of the markets that the Company targets; market demand for the Company’s products; reliance on third parties to manufacture, assemble and test products; ability to compete; and other risks inherent in fabless semiconductor businesses.

INPHI CORPORATION

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP NET INCOME TO NON-GAAP NET INCOME

(in thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts)

To supplement the audited financial data presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude stock-based compensation, abandoned office space costs and deferred tax asset valuation allowance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP. These results should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The Company believes that its non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because it excludes charges or benefits that management considers to be outside of the Company’s core operating results. The Company believes that the non-GAAP measures of gross margin, net income and earnings per share in combination with the Company’s financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide investors with additional perspective and a more meaningful understanding of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. In addition, the Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to review and assess the financial performance of the Company, to determine executive officer incentive compensation and to plan and forecast performance in future periods. The Company’s non-GAAP measurements are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, and are not an alternative to GAAP financial information, and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies.

(a) Reflects the stock-based compensation expense recorded relating to stock-based awards. The Company excludes this item when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company as management believes this GAAP measure is not indicative of its core operating performance.
(b) Reflects the cost of abandoned office space. The Company excludes this item when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company as management believes this GAAP measure is not indicative of its core operating performance.
(c) Reflects the change in valuation allowance and delta in interim period tax allocation from GAAP to non-GAAP related to non-GAAP adjustments. Starting 2014, the Company, prospectively changed its method of calculating income taxes on a non-GAAP basis related to considering $213,000 – the quarterly amortization of a deferred tax charge on an ARB 51 related intercompany transfer of assets. The deferred tax charge relates to intercompany transfer of intellectual property in 2010 for which taxes were already paid. The Company decided to exclude the amortization from the calculation prospectively as it is strictly non-cash accounting amortization that will never convert into cash tax expense. The change is only made prospectively, therefore, a similar amount remains included in the comparable Q1 2013 Non GAAP tax expense. The Company excludes this item when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company as management believes this GAAP measure is not indicative of its core operating performance.
