PERICOM SEMICONDUCTOR REPORTS
FISCAL THIRD QUARTER 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS

§
Revenues and operating expenses were in line with guidance.
§
Gross margin was below guidance due to higher absorption charges from lower production volume.

San Jose, Calif. – May 4, 2011 - Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEM), a worldwide supplier of high-speed integrated circuits and frequency control products, today announced results for its fiscal third quarter ended April 2, 2011.

Net revenues for the third quarter were $39.6 million, a decrease of 3% from the $40.7 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, and up 8% from the $36.7 million reported in the comparable period last year.  The sequential revenue decline primarily resulted from lower volume associated with customer inventory adjustments to align with end user demand, an adjustment period that we believe has now been completed. The second and third quarters of fiscal 2011 included a full three months of Pericom Technology, Inc. (“PTI”) operations, acquired on August 31, 2010.

GAAP gross margin was 31.3% in the third quarter, down from 33.5% last quarter and from 35.3% in the comparable period last year. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 32.6% in the third 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. The comparable non-GAAP gross margins were 36.3% last quarter and 35.6% in the comparable period last year. The decline in gross margin primarily reflects higher absorption charges from lower production volumes.

GAAP net income attributable to Pericom shareholders for the third quarter was $531,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in the second quarter, and net income of $3.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share in the comparable period last year. GAAP net income for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2011 included share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of fair value adjustments, and other PTI acquisition related expenses.  Excluding these items, non-GAAP net income for the third quarter was $2.5 million or $0.10 per diluted share, compared with $4.1 million or $0.16 per diluted share in the second quarter, and non-GAAP net income of $3.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share in the comparable period last year.

“We believe the inventory corrections are largely complete as our book-to-bill ratio exceeded 1.0 for the first time in three quarters. We reduced in-house inventory 11% and reduced channel inventory by one week to seven weeks at the end of the third quarter. In addition, sales out of our distribution channel increased by 3% from the previous quarter, signaling healthy end user demand” said Alex Hui, President and CEO of Pericom.   

 “We continue to see strong adoption of our second and third generation serial connectivity and timing products for computer, communication and consumer applications. Our near term outlook is positive for all Pericom product areas and end markets and we expect to resume revenue growth and gross margin improvement in the remaining quarters of CY2011.”

New Products
 
 
In the March quarter, Pericom introduced a total of 17 new products across the Signal Integrity, Timing, and Connectivity product areas.

·  
We expanded our solutions for high-speed serial protocol signal integrity by introducing 6 new ReDriverTM products for SATA3, SAS2, and PCIe 2.0/5Gb protocols. These products address volume notebook, server, storage, and embedded market segments, with the SATA3 and SAS2 redrivers offering low power consumption from a competitive standpoint. The PCIe 5Gb ReDriver is optimized for the longer transmission distances in networking and embedded applications.
 
 
 

NEWS RELEASE May 4, 2011
 
·  
Adding to our high-speed connectivity solutions, we introduced 3 new products with highly integrated features for PCIe 3.0 lane and signal switching, HDMI active switching, and USB port charging. The PCIe 3.0 switch targets server, storage, and embedded markets, the HDMI switch targets digital media applications, and the USB Sleep and ChargeTM product for mobile device charging targets the notebook and tablet computing segments.

·  
Expanding our timing solutions for next generation platforms, we introduced 8 new products across 2 new HiFlexTM crystal oscillator (XO) and clock generator product families. These 2 new families offer attractively low jitter and package footprints and target server, storage, networking and embedded market segments.

Fiscal Q4 2011 Outlook

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward looking, and actual results may differ materially.

·  
Revenues in the fourth fiscal quarter are expected to be in the range of $41.5 million to $43.5 million.

NEWS RELEASE May 4, 2011
 
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, restructuring expenses, and the effects of excluding share-based compensation upon the number of diluted shares used in calculating non-GAAP earnings per share.

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, restructuring expenses associated with headcount reductions, 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 Q4 2011 Outlook”, which regard the anticipated revenues, gross margin, operating expenses, other income, net income and effective tax rate in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011, and statements from our CEO quoted on the second page of this press release regarding revenue growth and margin improvement, the completion of inventory adjustments, end user demand, strong adoption of Pericom products, the positive outlook for products and markets, 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 January 2, 2010, and, in particular, the risk factors sections contained in that report.
