NetLogic Microsystems Announces Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results


MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:NETL), the leader in the design and development of knowledge-based processors, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2007.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2007 was $27.5 million, a 6.6 percent sequential increase from $25.8 million for the second quarter of 2007.

Third quarter 2007 net income, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), was $3.5 million or $0.16 per share. By comparison, GAAP net income was $2.3 million or $0.11 per share for the second quarter of 2007. GAAP net income includes stock-based compensation expense, the amortization of intangible assets, a fair value inventory adjustment and a net impact of deferred tax asset valuation allowance release. Excluding these items, non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $7.7 million or $0.34 per share, an increase of 21.4 percent from $0.28 per share for the second quarter of 2007.



Cash and short-term investments at the end of the third quarter were $99.8 million, compared with $104.7 million at the end of the prior quarter. The decrease in our cash and short-term investments reflect the $14.6 million acquisition of the Cypress Semiconductor NSE products and related inventory.

Acquisition of Aeluros, Inc.


NetLogic Microsystems separately announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Aeluros, Inc., a privately-held, fabless provider of industry-leading 10-Gigabit Interface technologies and semiconductor products, located in Mountain View, CA. Through the acquisition, NetLogic Microsystems expects to expand its worldwide leadership in knowledge-based processors by delivering next-generation processors that incorporate the industry's best-in-class, ultra low power interface technology from Aeluros to support bandwidth-hungry video applications in the enterprise and datacenter.

NetLogic Microsystems expects to pay approximately $57 million in cash upon the closing of the transaction in exchange for all of the outstanding equity securities of Aeluros. NetLogic Microsystems also expects to reserve approximately 115,000 shares of common stock for future issuance upon the exercise of unvested employee stock options of Aeluros that will be assumed by NetLogic Microsystems and which will be subject to continued employment vesting requirements. In addition, under the terms of the definitive agreement, NetLogic Microsystems may pay up to an additional $20 million upon the attainment of performance milestones for the acquired business. A portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of Aeluros will be placed into escrow pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreement. The acquisition has been approved by both companies' Board of Directors and is subject to customary closing conditions. The acquisition is expected to close within the next 10 days.

Management Qualitative Comments

"This is an exciting time for the company," said Ron Jankov, president and chief executive officer. "As we have discussed throughout the year, there are several important industry trends that are driving the long-term demand for knowledge-based processing across the network, such as the proliferation of on-demand delivery of video to the home, office and mobile devices, the growing popularity of voice-over-IP and the transition to an all-IP network to support these and other applications. As a result, our addressable market has expanded from mostly high-end enterprise networking to now also include cable infrastructure, telecommunication infrastructure, advanced mobile infrastructure, security, desktop switching and the datacenter. Further, with our acquisition of Aeluros, we will greatly expand the depth of our engineering team and our technology portfolio, and will significantly enhance our ability to offer our customers truly differentiated solutions to address the growing complexity of the network and communications infrastructure."

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this announcement of operating results contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the income statement effects of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, an in-process research and development charge, a fair value inventory adjustment, a net impact of deferred tax asset valuation allowance release and the effects of excluding stock-based compensation upon the number of diluted shares used in calculating non-GAAP earnings per share.

We excluded stock-based compensation expense as well as amortization of intangibles as they are non-cash in nature. We excluded an in-process research and development charge, a fair value adjustment related to acquired inventory and a net impact of deferred tax asset valuation, as they are considered one-time items.

We use the non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate the Company's current performance. We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items is useful to investors because we do not consider these charges part of the day-to-day business or reflective of the core operational activities of the Company that are within the control of management or that would be used to evaluate management's operating performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. For additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, and management's explanation of why it considers such measures to be useful, refer to the Form 8-K dated October 24, 2007 that the Company has submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
