June 2, 2015 — Santa Clara, Calif. – Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA), a leading developer of low-power, HD video compression and image processing semiconductors, today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2015.
| • | Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $71.0 million, up 73.5% from $40.9 million in the same period in fiscal 2015. |
| • | Gross margin under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was 64.7%, compared with 62.5% for the same period in fiscal 2015. |
| • | GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $18.9 million, or $0.56 per diluted ordinary share, compared with GAAP net income of $5.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted ordinary share, for the same period in fiscal 2015. |
Financial results on a non-GAAP basis for the first fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2015 are as follows:
| • | Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was 64.8%, compared with 62.7% for the same period in fiscal 2015. |

Ambarella reports gross margin, net income and earnings per share in accordance with GAAP and, additionally, on a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP financial information excludes the impact of stock-based compensation and the associated tax impact. A reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP gross margin, net income and earnings per share numbers, as well as a description of the items excluded from the non-GAAP calculations, is included in the financial statements portion of this press release.
Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand at the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2016 was $235.2 million, compared with $155.6 million at the end of the same quarter a year ago.
“We enjoyed a strong first quarter with revenue up 73.5 percent from the same period last year,” said Fermi Wang, president and CEO of Ambarella. “In addition to continued growth from our existing wearable, IP security and automotive video recorder camera markets, we see increased activity across a wide range of home monitoring cameras including models by U.S. service providers, as well as from quadcopters or flying cameras.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The company has provided in this release non-GAAP financial information including non-GAAP gross margin, net income, and earnings per share, as a supplement to the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing the company’s financial results to assess operational performance and liquidity. The company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. Further, the company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics that the company uses in making operating decisions and because the company believes that investors and analysts use them to help assess the health of its business and for comparison to other companies. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the company’s operating results. The non-GAAP information should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
