Inphi Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2015 Results

 

Reports 79% Year-over-Year Revenue Growth and 167% Year-over-Year Non-GAAP EPS Growth

 

Q2 15 Non-GAAP Gross Margin Increased to 68.6%

 

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 28, 2015 – 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 the financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

 

Revenue in the second quarter of 2015 was a record $60.7 million, up 2.6% sequentially from $59.2 million reported in the first quarter of 2015 and up 79% year-over-year, compared with $33.9 million in the second quarter of 2014.

 

Gross margin under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the second quarter of 2015 was 61.6% of revenue, compared with 63.8% in the second quarter of 2014. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to the amortization of the acquired intangibles and amortization of inventory fair value step-up related to the acquired Cortina inventories sold during the second quarter of 2015.

 

GAAP results of operations for the second quarter of 2015 were breakeven, compared with GAAP net income of $2.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2014.

 

Inphi reports revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, 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 revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, 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 in the second quarter of 2015 was 68.6%, compared with 64.6% in the second quarter of 2014.

 

Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2015 was a record $9.9 million, or $0.24 per diluted common share. This compares with non-GAAP net income of $2.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2014.

 

“We are pleased to report record non-GAAP revenue and record earnings per share in Q2,” said Ford Tamer, Inphi President and CEO. “While being cautious about a near-term slowdown in the service provider market in China, we remain confident in our ability to grow overall revenue and profitability in the mid- to long-term. We are convinced that our cloud product offerings will continue to position Inphi as a strong participant in the upcoming multi-billion dollar Data Center Interconnect market.”

INPHI CORPORATION

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES

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

 

To supplement the financial data presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude stock-based compensation, legal, other expenses, purchase price fair value adjustments related to Cortina acquisition 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.
