SANTA CLARA, CA — (Marketwired) — 10/28/14 — Inphi Corporation (NYSE: IPHI), a leading provider of high-speed mixed signal semiconductor solutions for the communications, data center and computing markets, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2014.
Revenue for the third quarter of 2014 was $36.3 million, up 7% sequentially from $33.9 million reported for the second quarter of 2014 and up 36% year-over-year compared with $26.6 million reported for the third quarter of 2013.
Gross margin under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the third quarter of 2014 was 64.1% of revenue, compared with 63.2% of revenue for the third quarter of 2013.
GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2014 was $6.9 million, or ($0.22) per diluted common share, compared with GAAP net loss of $2.8 million, or ($0.09) per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2013.
Inphi reports gross margin, net income (loss), and earnings per share in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP gross margin, net income, and earnings per share, as well as a description of the items excluded from the non-GAAP calculations, is included in the financial statements portion of this news release.
Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2014 was 65.0%, compared with 64.2% for the third quarter of 2013.
Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2014 was $3.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share. This compared with non-GAAP net income of $1.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2013.
“2014 is truly becoming a transformative year for Inphi,” said Ford Tamer, president and CEO of Inphi. “We have grown our company organically by nearly 40% year-over-year, and we–re continuing to drive to higher levels of profitability in the third quarter by achieving 14% non GAAP operating margin. By closing the Cortina acquisition, we have added a very profitable $80 million business with more than 110 engineers bringing our growing Communications products to approximately 75% of ongoing revenue. We are excited about this increase in scale, which over the next several years allows us to further capitalize on high growth expected in both the 100G/400G coherent markets — as well as the next-generation data centers.”
For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2014, revenue was $101.4 million, an increase of 38% compared with $73.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. GAAP net loss for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2014 was $5.2 million, or ($0.17) per diluted share, on approximately 31.2 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. This compared with GAAP net loss of $11.9 million, or ($0.41) per diluted share, on approximately 29.3 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2013.
Non-GAAP net income for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2014 was $9.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted weighted average common share outstanding, on approximately 33.2 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. This compared with non-GAAP net income of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, or $0.05 per diluted weighted average common share outstanding.
The following statements are based on our current expectations for the fourth quarter of 2014. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially.
Revenue is expected to be up in the range of $57.6 million to $59.6 million, due in part to the first full quarter of including Cortina Systems, which closed on October 3, 2014.
Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be approximately 66% to 67%.
Stock-based compensation expense is expected to be in the range of $6.5 million to $6.9 million.
GAAP results are expected to be a net loss in a range between $ 0.1 million to $0.9 million, or breakeven — ($0.02) per diluted share, on 37.4 million estimated basic shares outstanding. This estimate does not include certain purchase accounting adjustments (i.e. step up in value of acquired inventory) not available at the time of this press release that may have a further negative impact on forecasted GAAP earnings.
Non-GAAP net income, excluding stock-based compensation expense and other acquisition/transition related expenses, is expected to be in the range of $7.3 million to $8.3 million, or $0.19-$0.21 per diluted share, on 39.1 million estimated fully diluted shares outstanding.

These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated as a result of various factors, including: the Company–s ability to sustain profitable operations due to its history of losses and accumulated deficit; dependence on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of revenue and lack of long-term purchase commitments from our customers; product defects; risk related to intellectual property matters, lengthy sales cycle and competitive selection process; lengthy and expensive qualification processes; ability to develop new or enhanced products in a timely manner; development of the markets that the Company targets; market demand for the Company–s products; reliance on third parties to manufacture, assemble and test products; ability to compete; and other risks inherent in fabless semiconductor businesses.

The following table presents details of stock-based compensation expense included in each functional line item in the consolidated statements of operations above:
To supplement the audited financial data presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude stock-based compensation, abandoned office space costs, legal and other expenses related to Cortina acquisition and deferred tax asset valuation allowance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP. These results should only be used to evaluate the Company–s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The Company believes that its non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because it excludes charges or benefits that management considers to be outside of the Company–s core operating results. The Company believes that the non-GAAP measures of gross margin, net income and earnings per share in combination with the Company–s financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide investors with additional perspective and a more meaningful understanding of the Company–s ongoing operating performance. In addition, the Company–s management uses these non-GAAP measures to review and assess the financial performance of the Company, to determine executive officer incentive compensation and to plan and forecast performance in future periods. The Company–s non-GAAP measurements are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, and are not an alternative to GAAP financial information, and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies.
