SANTA CLARA, CA — (Marketwired) — 11/01/16 — Inphi Corporation (NYSE: IPHI), a leader in high-speed data movement interconnects, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2016. The third quarter financial results include the impact of classifying the memory buffer and memory register business as assets recently sold to Rambus. The financial impact of this business has been reclassified out of results from continuing operations.
Revenue from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2016 was $70.7 million on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, up 17% sequentially from $60.5 million in the second quarter of 2016 and up 49% year-over-year, compared with $47.4 million in the third quarter of 2015. The growth in our revenue reflects the increase in consumption of Inphi linear transimpedance amplifiers, linear driver products and CMOS semiconductor-based100G physical layers (iPHY) products.
Gross margin from continuing operations under GAAP in the third quarter of 2016 was 68.1%, compared with 64.9% in the third quarter of 2015. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to increased sales of higher margin products in the communication business.
GAAP income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2016 was $10.2 million or 14.5% of revenue from continuing operations, compared to a GAAP loss from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2015 of $1.7 million or (3.6%) of revenue from continuing operations.
GAAP net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2016 was $6.6 million, or $0.15 per diluted common share, compared with GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $1.9 million, or ($0.05) per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2015.
Inphi reports revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, net income (loss), and earnings per share from continuing operations in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, net income, earnings per share from continuing operations, 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.

We believe the product portfolio of our combined companies will enable us to better support our service provider and cloud customers.”

To supplement the financial data presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude stock-based compensation, legal, transition costs and other expenses, purchase price fair value adjustments related to Cortina acquisition, non-cash interest expense related to convertible debt, indirect expenses associated with discontinued operations 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, income from operations, 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.
