“Major product ramps at both of the largest smartphone OEM customers, continued strength in datacenter spending and a stronger than expected contribution from the CyOptics business helped drive sequential revenue growth of 15% in the fourth quarter,” said Hock Tan, President and CEO of Avago Technologies Limited. “Looking into the first quarter of 2014 we expect revenue to decline in all of our target markets with our typical seasonality. We also expect wireless will continue to face volatility throughout the year caused by major product launches.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to GAAP reporting, Avago provides investors with net income, income from operations, gross margin, operating expenses and other data, on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP information excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, share-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, acquisition-related costs, debt extinguishment losses and the income tax effects of these excluded items. Management does not believe that the excluded items are reflective of the Company’s underlying performance. The exclusion of these and other similar items from Avago’s non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual. Avago believes this non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company’s on-going performance and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of the Company’s on-going operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons. These non-GAAP measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial data is included in the supplemental financial data attached to this press release.
