ENTROPIC COMMUNICATIONS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Conference Call to be Webcast Today at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time

SAN DIEGO, Calif., April 24, 2012 — Entropic Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions for the connected home, today reported its first quarter results for the period ended March 31, 2012. Entropic reported first quarter net revenues of $59.1 million, an increase of five percent compared with $56.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.

In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company’s first quarter net income was $3.9 million, or $0.04 per share (diluted). This compares with GAAP net income of $2.3 million, or $0.03 per share (diluted) in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP net income in the first quarter was $10.6 million, or $0.12 per share (diluted), compared to non-GAAP net income of $10.2 million, or $0.12 per share (diluted) in the fourth quarter of 2011.

“Entropic recorded solid revenue growth and strong profitability for the quarter. This is indicative of the health of our core business, the value of our solutions to customers, and the strength of our operating model,” said Patrick Henry, president and CEO, Entropic Communications. “With the strength of our core business coupled with the addition of our recently closed acquisition of the Trident set-top box system-on-a-chip business, Entropic is poised to benefit from the roll out of advanced service offerings by Pay-TV service providers worldwide. As the only pure-play platform connected home entertainment company in the industry, we will continue to shape the market and provide solutions that enrich the home entertainment experience.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables contain the following non-GAAP financial measures: net income and net income per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effects on the Statement of Operations of all forms of stock-based compensation, due diligence and other costs related to the Trident Microsystems transaction, the loss related to equity method investment, and the cash tax difference.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to manage the Company’s business, including setting operating budgets and executive compensation plans. These non-GAAP measures are also used to (i) supplement the financial results and forecasts reported to the Company’s board of directors, (ii) evaluate the Company’s operating performance, (iii) compare the Company’s performance to internal forecasts, and (iv) manage the Company’s business and benchmarking performance internally. The non-GAAP measures have been made available to stockholders consistently in the past to provide transparency on how management manages the Company’s operating performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP operating measures are useful to investors, when used as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operational performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented 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.

(1) The Company’s non-GAAP net income per share is calculated using the cash tax rate of 14%, (8%) and 7% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. The estimated cash tax rate is the estimated tax payable on the Company’s projected tax returns as a percentage of estimated annual non-GAAP pre-tax net income. The Company uses an estimated cash tax rate to adjust for the historical variation in the effective book tax rate associated with the reversal of valuation allowances, the utilization of research and development tax credits, and the utilization of loss carryforwards which currently have an overall effect of reducing taxes payable. The Company believes that the cash tax rate provides a more transparent view of the Company’s operating results. The Company’s effective tax rate used for the purposes of calculating GAAP net income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011 was approximately 43%, 42% and 35%, respectively.
