Ikanos Communications Announces Results for Second Quarter 2015 and

Proposed Sale

Second Quarter Highlights

FREMONT, Calif., August 6, 2015 — Ikanos Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: IKAN), a leading provider of advanced broadband semiconductor and software products for the connected home, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2015, ended June 28, 2015 and its proposed sale.

“As announced earlier today by Qualcomm, Ikanos has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Qualcomm Atheros, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated,” said Dennis Bencala, CFO of Ikanos. “I am also pleased to announce that second quarter revenue was $11.1 million, above the mid-point of our guidance. Gross profit was 51%, which was below our guidance for the quarter, primarily due to a change in our product mix. Operating expenses came in at the low end of our guidance at $17.5 million, resulting in cash and short-term investments of $16.0 million at the end of the quarter.”

About the Tender Offer and Merger

On August 5, 2015, Qualcomm Atheros, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, King Acquisition Co., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Atheros, and Ikanos entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Qualcomm Atheros, through King Acquisition Co., will commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of Ikanos common stock, $0.001 par value, for $2.75 per share, without interest (the “Offer Price”), in cash, subject to any applicable withholding taxes, and assume all outstanding indebtedness at the closing of the transaction.

Consummation of the Offer is subject to various conditions, including, but not limited to at least a majority of Shares being tendered in the Offer; the receipt of required regulatory approvals and other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Following consummation of the Offer, King Acquisition Co. will merge with and into Ikanos with Ikanos surviving as a subsidiary of Qualcomm Atheros (the “Merger”). In the Merger, each Share that is not tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer (other than the Shares held in the treasury of Ikanos, Shares held directly or indirectly by Qualcomm Atheros or its subsidiaries, and Shares as to which appraisal rights have been perfected in accordance with applicable law) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Financial Details

Ikanos reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and additionally on a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP gross profits, and non-GAAP operating expenses, where applicable, exclude the income statement effects of stock-based compensation and the amortization of intangible assets. Ikanos has provided these measures because its management believes these additional non-GAAP measures are useful to investors for performing financial analysis, as these additional measures highlight Ikanos’ recurring operating results. Ikanos’ management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate its operating performance and to plan for its future. However, non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP reporting. For a reconciliation of GAAP versus non-GAAP financial information, please see the attached schedules.
