Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On February 17, 2011, ANADIGICS, Inc. (“ANADIGICS”) is issuing a press release and holding a conference call announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and year end 2010. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
    The attached press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP, consisting of non-GAAP net income or loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share. Management uses non-GAAP net income or loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share to evaluate the Company's operating and financial performance in light of business objectives, for planning purposes, when publicly providing our business outlook and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. ANADIGICS believes that these measures are useful to investors because they enhance investors' ability to review the Company's business from the same perspective as the Company's management and facilitate comparisons of this period's results with prior periods. These non-GAAP measures exclude charges related to stock-based compensation, restructuring and impairment charges and recoveries, auction rate securities’ adjustments, the refund of certain R&D tax credits and non-comparative charges in 2009 resulting from the settlement of a commercial dispute with a customer and inventory reserves associated with reduced demand. Non-GAAP measures are used by some investors when assessing the ongoing operating and financial performance of our Company. These financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Management acknowledges that stock-based compensation is a recurring cost and is an important part of our employee’s compensation and impacts their performance. However the expense is non-cash in nature and there are various valuation methodologies and assumptions used in determining stock-based compensation that may be unrelated to operations, such as volatility and current interest rates. The presentation of the additional information should not be considered a substitute for net income or loss or income or loss per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The primary material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP measures as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are (i) they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in ANADIGICS industry, and (ii) they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance.
Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, ANADIGICS has included a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

WARREN, N.J., February 17, 2011—ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions in the broadband wireless and wireline communications markets, reported fourth quarter 2010 net sales of $60.2 million, a decrease of 1.7% sequentially and an increase of 44.1% from the fourth quarter of 2009.  Revenue for the full year 2010 grew 54.3% over 2009 to $216.7 million.

As of December 31, 2010, cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term marketable securities totaled $106.1 million, an increase of $13.6 million over 2009.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $3.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.  Net income for 2010 was $1.3 million, or $0.02 per share. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $4.9 million, or $0.07 per share.  Non-GAAP net income for the year was $7.7 million or $0.11 per diluted share.
 
“I am very proud of our accomplishments during this past year in which we significantly increased revenue by 54.3%, consisting of 72% growth in our Wireless business and 20% in Broadband. We also exceeded our goals for both profitability and free cash flow,” said Mario Rivas, president and chief executive officer.Our strong performance in 2010 is a result of successful execution on the strategic initiatives that we outlined at the beginning of the year. Looking forward, we remain well positioned to benefit from the continued growth in the 3G and 4G markets as we strive to expand our market share at new and existing customers, execute on design wins and continue to introduce superior new products.
 
Outlook for the First Quarter 2011
 
Tom Shields, chief financial officer commented, “We are seeing indications of greater than normal seasonality in the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to softness in China and through our distribution channels relating to excess inventories, coupled with a continued market correction expected to further impact our Cable and WiMax revenue. As a result, we currently anticipate total revenue to be in the range of $42 million to $44 million.  Net loss per share on a GAAP basis for the first quarter of 2011 is expected to be ($0.11) to ($0.12).  Non-GAAP loss per share, excluding non-cash stock compensation expense, is expected to be between ($0.07) and ($0.08).  The GAAP net loss and non-GAAP loss per share are based on an estimated weighted average outstanding common share count of 69.2 million.”
 
The statements regarding the Company’s anticipated future performance are forward looking and actual results may differ materially. Please see safe harbor statement at the end of this press release.

This press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP, consisting of non-GAAP net income or loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share.

The presentation of the additional information should not be considered a substitute for net income or loss or income or loss per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.
 
 
Limitations of non-GAAP financial measures. The primary material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP measures as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are (i) they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in ANADIGICS industry, and (ii) they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. We compensate for these limitations by providing reconciliations of reported net income or loss and income or loss per share to non-GAAP net income or net loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share, respectively, within this press release.
