Inphi Corporation Announces Third Quarter 2015 Results

 

Reports 72% Year-over-Year Revenue Growth and 108% Year-over-Year Non-GAAP EPS Growth

 

SANTA CLARA, Calif., October 27, 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Gross margin under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the third quarter of 2015 was 62.1% of revenue, compared with 64.1% in the third quarter of 2014.

GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2015 was $1.1 million, or ($0.03) per diluted common share, compared with GAAP net loss of $6.9 million, or ($0.22) per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2014.

 

GAAP free cash flow in the third quarter of 2015, defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus purchases of property and equipment, was a record source of $14.2 million as compared to a use of $3.8 million for the third 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 third quarter of 2015 increased to 68.4%, compared with 65.0% in the third quarter of 2014.

 

Non-GAAP income from operations in the third quarter of 2015 was $12.7 million, or 20.3% of revenue, compared with $5.1 million, or 14.1% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2014.

 

Non-GAAP net income in the third quarter of 2015 was a record $10.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share. This compares with non-GAAP net income of $3.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share in the third quarter of 2014.

 

“We are pleased to report record revenue, non-GAAP operating profit and free cash flow in the third quarter,” said Ford Tamer, Inphi President and CEO. “We announced significant new offerings during the quarter, including our surface mount quad 100 Gigabit linear driver, our 45 Gigabaud Amplifier and Driver products, our PAM4 dual lambda family for 40, 50, 100 and 400 Gigabit applications, and our new DDR4 buffer product.

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, transition costs and 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.
