PERICOM SEMICONDUCTOR REPORTS
FISCAL SECOND QUARTER 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS


San Jose, Calif. – February 1, 2011 - Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEM), a worldwide supplier of high-speed integrated circuits and frequency control products, today announced results for its fiscal second quarter ended January 1, 2011.

Net revenues for the second quarter were $40.7 million, a decrease of 5% from the $42.8 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, and up 14% from the $35.8 million reported in the comparable period last year.  The sequential revenue decline primarily resulted from customer inventory adjustments to align with end user demand. The second quarter of fiscal 2011 included a full three months of Pericom Technology, Inc. (“PTI”) operations, acquired on August 31, 2010.

GAAP gross margin was 33.5% in the second quarter, down from 34.0% last quarter and from 33.6% in the comparable period last year. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 36.3% in the second quarter, which reflects exclusion of share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, and amortization of fair value adjustments and compensation expense accruals from the PTI acquisition.

GAAP net income attributable to Pericom shareholders for the second quarter was $1.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared with net income of $9.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share in the first quarter, and net income of $2.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share in the comparable period last year. GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 included share based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of fair value adjustments, and other PTI acquisition related expenses. GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 included these same items and in addition a one-time gain on the previously held interest in PTI.  Excluding these items, non-GAAP net income for the second quarter was $4.1 million or $0.16 per diluted share, compared with $4.3 million or $0.17 per diluted share in the first quarter, and non-GAAP net income of $3.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share in the comparable period last year.

“We are pleased to deliver good operating results in the quarter. Pericom generated strong cash flow with our operating profit, reduction in inventory and better DSOs, ” said Alex Hui, President and CEO of Pericom.

“The design activities for our serial connectivity and timing product solutions continue to be strong. We see an expanding adoption of our first and second generation serial connectivity and timing solutions across computer, communication and consumer applications.  We also see strong interest and design in activities for our third generation solutions from computing/storage customers who are early adaptors of next generation high speed serial connectivity designs. We believe these design activities position us well for healthy growth as the industry completes its inventory adjustment cycle.”

New Products

In the December quarter, Pericom introduced a total of 9 new products across the Signal Integrity, Timing, and Connectivity product areas.

 
·
We expanded our solutions for high-speed serial protocol signal integrity by introducing 2 new ReDriverTM products for SATA3, SAS2, and eSATA protocols. These products address volume notebook, server, storage, and embedded market segments.
 
 
·
Adding to our high-speed connectivity solutions, we introduced 4 new products; 2 are advanced HDMI and LVDS graphics display switches targeted to consumer video and computing segments, and 2 are next generation USB ‘sleep and charge’ (mobile device charging) products for the NB computing segment.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this announcement of operating results contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the income statement effects of share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, fair value adjustments of acquired inventory,  acquisition-related expenses, a one-time gain on the previously held interest in PTI, and the effects of excluding share-based compensation upon the number of diluted shares used in calculating non-GAAP earnings per share.

NEWS RELEASE February 1, 2011
   
 
We have excluded share-based compensation expense in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures.  These expenses are non-cash in nature and rely on valuations of the future market price of our common stock that is difficult to predict and is affected by market factors that are largely not within the control of management. We have excluded amortization of intangible assets, amortization of the fair value adjustments related to acquired inventory, acquisition related expenses, the gain on the previously held interest in PTI, and the corresponding tax effect because we do not consider them to be related to our core operating performance.

We use the non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate the Company’s current performance. We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items is useful to investors because we do not consider these charges either part of the day-to-day business or reflective of the core operational activities of the Company that are within the control of management or that are used to evaluate the Company’s operating performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements as defined under The Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements in this release include the statements under the captions ”Fiscal Q3 2011 Outlook”, which regard the anticipated revenues, gross margin, operating expenses, other income, net income and effective tax rate in the third fiscal quarter of 2011, and statements from our CEO quoted on the first page of this press release regarding revenue growth and other future expectations. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from what is set forth in such forward-looking statements due to a variety of risk factors, including softness in demand for our products, price erosion for certain of our products, unexpected difficulties in developing new products, customer decisions to reduce inventory, economic or financial difficulties experienced by our customers, or technological and market changes. All forward-looking statements included in this document are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof, and Pericom assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Parties receiving this release are encouraged to review our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 2, 2010, and, in particular, the risk factors sections contained in that report.
