Inphi Corporation Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2010 Results

Full Year 2010 Revenues of $83 Million Represent 41% Annual Growth

SANTA CLARA, Calif., February 2, 2011 – Inphi Corporation (NYSE: IPHI), a leading provider of high-speed analog semiconductor solutions for the communications and computing markets, today announced results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2010.

Revenue for the fourth quarter was $21.1 million, compared with $17.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2009.

As reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), fourth quarter 2010 net income was $3.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $2.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2009.

Gross margin on a GAAP basis for the fourth quarter of 2010 was 65.2% of revenue, compared to 61.9% of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009.

Inphi reports net income, gross margin, and earnings per share in accordance with GAAP and additionally on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of the preliminary GAAP to non-GAAP net income, gross margin, 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 the press release.

Gross margin on a Non GAAP basis for the fourth quarter of 2010 was 65.5% of revenue, compared to 62.0% of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009.

Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $2.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share. This compared with non-GAAP net income of $3.1 million or $0.16 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2009. The largest difference in the earnings per share number is driven by the issuance of common stock, primarily the 7.8 million shares issued the Company’s initial public offering in November 2010.

“Inphi had an outstanding year in 2010 with revenue growth from our leading high-speed analog products of more than forty percent,” said Young K. Sohn, President and CEO of Inphi. “We believe 2011 will bring exciting opportunities and challenges as we continue to deliver new innovations for datacenter and networking environments. We believe we are well positioned to succeed with our networking products and our Isolation Memory Buffer technology—all designed to solve bandwidth challenges in next generation communications and computing systems.”

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP NET INCOME TO NON-GAAP NET INCOME

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

To supplement the audited financial data presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude stock-based compensation, taxes related to the transition to a more international business structure and the release of the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. It also includes the assumed conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock which occurred in connection with the initial public offering. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP, and do not serve as an alternative to 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, earnings per share and weighted average shares outstanding in combination with the Company’s financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provides 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.
