SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 2012--PMC® (Nasdaq:PMCS), the semiconductor innovator transforming networks that connect, move and store big data, today reported results for the second quarter ended July 1, 2012.

Net revenues in the second quarter of 2012 were $137.8 million, an increase of 4% as compared to net revenues of $132.1 million in the first quarter of 2012 and a decrease of 19% compared to $171 million in the second quarter of 2011.

GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2012 was $26.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, including a $28.5 million benefit from the recognition of certain U.S. tax credits, mainly arising from foreign withholding taxes paid in the second quarter related to the intercompany dividend noted below. This compares to a GAAP net loss in the first quarter of 2012 of $96.3 million, or $0.41 per share, including $85.4 million income tax provision related to an intercompany dividend made in preparation for funding the Company’s share repurchase program. Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2012 was $21.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $14 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2012.

Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2012 excludes the following items: (i) $7.3 million in stock-based compensation expense; (ii) $1.1 million in acquisition-related costs; (iii) $0.3 million in termination costs; (iv) $0.3 million in lease exit costs; (v) $11.6 million in amortization of purchased intangible assets; (vi) a $1.1 million foreign exchange gain on foreign tax liabilities; (vii) $0.9 million of non-cash interest expense for the accretion of the debt discount related to the senior convertible notes; and (viii) a $25.7 million recovery of income taxes.


“Our second quarter revenues were in line with expectations.” said Greg Lang, president and chief executive officer of PMC. “The macro environment is challenging the pace of recovery but we are focused on project execution, operational efficiency and tightly managing expenses. PMC is well positioned as the fundamentals behind our key growth drivers remain intact.”

For a full reconciliation of each non-GAAP item used herein to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please refer to the schedule included with this release. The Company believes the additional non-GAAP measures are useful to investors for the purpose of financial analysis. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate its in-period operating performance before gains, losses and other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company’s core operating results. In addition, the measures are used to plan for the Company’s future periods. However, non-GAAP measures are neither stated in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures.

SECOND QUARTER AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

The Company announced the following in the second quarter of 2012:

  • PMC announced that it entered into an Accelerated Stock Buyback agreement (“ASB agreement”) with Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman”) to repurchase an aggregate of $160 million of PMC common stock. The Company will acquire these common shares as part of its $275 million stock repurchase program announced on March 13, 2012.
  • Building on PMC’s industry leadership in providing innovative technologies that accelerate its customers’ efforts to connect, move and store big data, PMC announced the industry’s first 12Gb/s SAS flash manager for the next wave of enterprise solid state drives (SSDs). With this introduction, PMC has delivered the industry's first end-to-end 12Gb/s SAS solution, from the protocol controller to the SSD controller. PMC's SFM-12G enables more than 300,000 IOPS in a 2.5" SAS SSD, more than double the performance of today's 6Gb/s SAS SSDs. When paired with the industry's highest-performing protocol controller, PMC's SPCv 12G, cloud server and big data storage manufacturers can deliver a stunning 2.4 million IOPS in an eight-drive, enterprise-class flash subsystem.

  • Extending its portfolio of low power solutions for the wireless communications market, PMC announced the industry's lowest power and most integrated radio transceiver chipset for macro base station designs. PMC's new UniTRX™ chipset replaces up to 14 discrete devices, and reduces both board space and power by more than 50 percent for equivalent multi-standard base station radio designs. The UniTRX chipset includes three integrated monolithic CMOS devices: the UniTX™ dual-transmitter RFIC for multi-standard, wideband radio designs; the UniRX™ dual-receiver RFIC for multi-standard, wideband radio designs, with an embedded processor included for control and calibration; and, the SyntheCLK™ low-phase-noise clock synthesizer with an integrated jitter attenuator.
  • PMC announced that it was expanding its leadership in optical transport with a second-generation HyPHY OTN processor family that enables Metro OTN. With PMC's HyPHY 20Gflex and HyPHY 10Gflex, Metro OTN doubles packet efficiency and delivers multiservice capabilities and scalability required for metro transport networks worldwide to cope with explosive growth in packet traffic. The HyPHY Flex devices provide OEMs with the lowest cost of development by enabling them to leverage a single device for both OTN-switched and DWDM lambda-switched optical transport equipment.
  • In conjunction with IP Infusion, PMC announced the availability of ZebOS® Advanced Hardware Integration Software (AHIS) on PMC’s WinPath3™ network processor. IP Infusion AHIS is the first solution to provide a scalable, hardware-independent architecture that enables network equipment providers to efficiently develop networking solutions based on leading silicon platforms.
  • As a testament to the Company’s focus on quality, PMC announced that it has received the prestigious 2011 Quality Award from Huawei Technologies, China’s leading telecommunications equipment company. The award, which focuses on quality assurance, acknowledges the high standard of PMC’s products and the quality of technical support delivered in 2011.

A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that the additional non-GAAP measures are useful to investors for the purpose of financial analysis. Management uses these measures internally to evaluate the Company's in-period operating performance before gains, losses and other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company's core operating results. In addition, the measures are used for planning and forecasting of the Company's future periods. However, non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Other companies may use different non-GAAP measures and presentation of results.
