Avago Technologies Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2007 Financial Results
SAN JOSE, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today reported financial results for its third fiscal quarter, ended July 31, 2007.
Net revenue of $387 million was essentially even with the previous quarter. Consistent with the seasonal trends in its served markets, higher revenue in the consumer and computer peripherals areas was countered by weaker demand in the industrial, automotive, and enterprise infrastructure segments.
Cash balances increased by $13 million to $213 million at the end of July, supported by $56 million generated from operations, partially offset by the payment of $27 million for Infineon's Polymer Optical Fiber business, the disbursement of $43 million for the semi-annual interest obligations, and the repurchase of $6 million of the Company's Senior Notes.
Third Quarter 2007 GAAP Results
Resulting from an evaluation of the Company's remaining manufacturing operations, an analysis was performed on the recoverability of the carrying value of these assets. Based on this review, it was determined that a $158 million write-down was necessary to bring carrying values of certain assets in line with fair market valuations. In addition, $11 million of restructuring charges were recorded in connection with reductions of approximately 15 percent of the workforce due to the expanded outsourcing of back-end activities.
Including the above mentioned impairment and restructuring charges, third quarter net loss was $167 million. Gross margin was negatively impacted by $148 million related to these charges with the remaining $21 million included in total operating expenses of $126 million.
Third Quarter 2007 Non-GAAP Results
Operating margin of 14 percent of sales was essentially flat with the previous quarter. Gross margin of $152 million was 30 basis points below the second quarter and exceeded 39 percent of sales. Operating expenses of $97 million remained unchanged quarter-over-quarter at 25 percent of revenue.
A $3 million decrease in other income combined with a $3 million increase in income tax expense resulted in non-GAAP net income of $27 million versus $33 million last quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $84 million compared with $88 million in the prior quarter.
"Over the last two quarters we have delivered solid operational results during a challenging period in the semiconductor industry," said Hock E. Tan, president and CEO of Avago Technologies. "In July, we successfully completed the purchase of Infineon's Polymer Optical Fiber business, increasing our presence in the growing auto infotainment market. We will continue to drive both organic development as well as pursue strategic acquisitions in our efforts to accelerate revenue growth going forward."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to GAAP reporting, Avago reports net income or loss, as well as gross margin and operating expenses, on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP earnings information excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles and unusual items and their related tax effects. In addition, we also disclose Adjusted EBITDA as measured by our principal debt instruments. Avago believes this non-GAAP earnings information provides additional insight into the Company's on-going performance and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to emphasize the results of on-going operations. These historical non-GAAP measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP net income (loss) is included in the tables below.

======== =========
EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as
EBITDA further adjusted to give effect to certain items that are
required in calculating covenant compliance under our senior and
senior subordinated notes as well as under our senior secured credit
facility. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by subtracting from or
adding to EBITDA items of income or expense described above. EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent net income (loss), as that term
is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an
alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating
performance.
Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be
measures of free cash flow available for management or discretionary
use as such measures do not consider certain cash requirements such
as capital expenditures, tax payments and debt service requirements.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein are not necessarily
comparable to similarly titled measures.
