PMC Reports Second Quarter 2014 Results


SUNNYVALE, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

PMC-Sierra, Inc. (PMC®) (Nasdaq: PMCS), the semiconductor and software solutions innovator transforming networks that connect, move and store big data, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2014.

Net revenues in the second quarter of 2014 totaled $126.8 million, an increase of 0.2 percent from $126.5 million in the first quarter of 2014, and a decrease of 1.0 percent compared to $127.6 million in the second quarter of 2013.

GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2014 totaled $3.5 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss in the first quarter of 2014 of $4.2 million, or $0.02 per share.

Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2014 totaled $18.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $16.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2014.

"We have closed another solid quarter with both revenue and non-GAAP EPS above the midpoint of our expectations. Strength in both our Optical and Mobile products more than offset lower revenue from our Storage products due to inventory consumption at two of our larger customers," said Greg Lang, PMC president and chief executive officer. "As we look to the balance of 2014, we believe we will see four key areas contribute to growth: 12G SAS, Flash Controllers, OTN and RF products. After years of investment, we are pleased to see these product cycles take hold, fueled by the continued escalation of data traffic."

Net income on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2014 excludes the following items: (i) $9.9 million amortization of purchased intangible assets; (ii) $4.9 million stock-based compensation expense, (iii) $1.6 million of termination related expense, and other adjustments as described in the accompanying GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation table.

For a full reconciliation of each non-GAAP item used herein to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please refer to the schedule included with this release. The Company believes the additional non-GAAP measures are useful to investors for the purpose of financial analysis. Management uses the non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate its in-period operating performance before gains, losses and other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company's core operating results. In addition, the measures are used to plan for the Company's future periods. However, non-GAAP measures are neither stated in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures.

As a supplement to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company provides additional non-GAAP measures for cost of revenues, gross profit, gross profit percentage, research and development expense, selling, general and administrative expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, other income (expense), (provision for) recovery of income taxes, operating expenses, operating income (loss), operating margin percentage, net income (loss), and basic and diluted net income (loss) per share.

 

A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that the additional non-GAAP measures are useful to investors for the purpose of financial analysis. Management uses these measures internally to evaluate the Company's in-period operating performance before gains, losses and other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company's core operating results. In addition, the measures are used for planning and forecasting of the Company's future periods. However, non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Other companies may use different non-GAAP measures and presentation of results.
