Inphi Corporation Delivers Record Revenue in Q4 2020

Strong Year-Over-Year Growth Driven by Cloud

 

SAN JOSE, Calif., February 2, 2021 – Inphi Corporation (NASDAQ: IPHI), a leader in high-speed data movement interconnects, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Inphi Corporation will not host a conference call to discuss its results for the fourth quarter of 2020 due to the proposed acquisition of Inphi Corporation by Marvell Technology Group Ltd.

 

GAAP Results

 

Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2020 was a record $187.5 million on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, up 82.3% year-over-year, compared with $102.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase was due to higher demand for Cloud and Telecommunications products as well as the inclusion of eSilicon revenues as a result of the acquisition that closed on January 10, 2020.

 

Gross margin under GAAP in the fourth quarter of 2020 was 54.9%, compared with 59.9% in the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease was mainly due to amortization of intangibles related to the eSilicon acquisition and product and revenue mix.

 

GAAP operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $2.5 million or (1.3%) of revenue, compared to GAAP operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2019 of $8.8 million or (8.6%) of revenue. The decrease in operating loss was mainly due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher operating expenses.

 

GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $12.0 million or ($0.23) per diluted common share, compared with $13.4 million or ($0.29) per diluted common share in the fourth quarter of 2019.

 

Inphi reports gross profit, operating expenses, operating income (loss), 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 profit, operating expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss), 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 press release.

 

 

 

Non-GAAP Results

 

Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2020 was 64.3%, compared with 69.2% in the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease was due to product mix, mainly from the sale of eSilicon products that have a lower margin.

 

Non-GAAP operating income in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $54.6 million or 29.1% of revenue, compared with non-GAAP operating income of $23.4 million or 22.7% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase is primarily due to higher gross profit and higher operating leverage.

 

Non-GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $50.0 million, or $0.91 per diluted common share. This compares with non-GAAP net income of $23.1 million, or $0.47 per diluted common share in the fourth quarter of 2019.

 

“We are very pleased to report another record revenue quarter demonstrating 82% growth year-over-year driven by strength from acquisitions as well as across all segments highlighted by Cloud revenue, which grew an impressive 69% year-over-year. Additionally, looking at our annual results in 2020 more than half of our growth was organic, growing 46% year-over- year, clearly outpacing broader industry growth projections” said Ford Tamer, President and CEO of Inphi Corporation. “We continue to capitalize on our strategy of leading-edge investments in cloud infrastructure and optical interconnect, opening up new market opportunities to drive revenue growth.”

 

Year Ended 2020 Results

 

Revenue in the year ended December 31, 2020 was $683.0 million, compared with $365.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. GAAP net loss in the year ended December 31, 2020 was $59.7 million, or ($1.20) per diluted share, on approximately 49.9 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. This compares with GAAP net loss of $72.9 million, or ($1.61) per diluted share, on approximately 45.2 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding in the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Non-GAAP net income in the year ended December 31, 2020 was $180.3 million, or $3.37 per diluted weighted average common share outstanding, on approximately 53.4 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. This compares with non-GAAP net income of $76.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2019, or $1.61 per diluted weighted average common share outstanding, on approximately 47.6 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

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, related to acquisitions, including the potential merger with Marvell, purchase price fair value adjustments related to acquisitions, non-cash interest expense and loss on extinguishment related to convertible debt, unrealized gain or loss on equity investments, lease expense on building not occupied 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, income from operations, 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.
