Additionally, we expect full year non-GAAP EPS to be up more than 6 times our 2013 results.' Summary Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 28, 2014: Revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $230.8 million, up 21% from the second quarter of 2013 and 30% sequentially. Cash and investments increased by $60.0 million this quarter to $223.5 million driven by operating results and cash proceeds from employee stock option exercises. GAAP Gross margin for the second quarter of 2014 was 40.2%, up sharply from 29.8% in the second quarter of 2013 due to higher revenue, product mix and better factory execution. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $85.3 million, up sequentially due to merger and integration related costs. Net income for the second quarter of 2014 was $5.2 million or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $14.9 million or $(0.09) per share in the second quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP Gross margin for the second quarter was 41.7%, up sharply from 31.3% in the second quarter of 2013. Operating expenses for the quarter were $72.0 million, up slightly sequentially. Net income for the second quarter of 2014 was $23.6 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $10.9 million or $(0.07) per share in the second quarter of 2013. Please see the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures below and the attached supplemental schedule for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. Outlook: The company believes second half revenue will be between $550 million and $600 million, up 11% at the midpoint from the prior year.

Third quarter non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be between 43% and 45%, driven by strong execution, higher factory utilization and product mix. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $70 million. Third quarter non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be between $0.23 and $0.25. As of today, the company is 93% booked to the midpoint of Q3 revenue guidance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This press release provides financial measures for non-GAAP net income (loss), diluted earnings (loss) per share, gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses and operating income (loss) that exclude equity compensation expense, non-cash tax expense (benefit), certain entries associated with mergers and acquisitions and other specifically identified non-routine items, and are therefore not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ('GAAP'). The charges associated with mergers and acquisitions reflect the amortization of intangible and tangible assets, transaction costs and changes to the earnout liability estimates recorded in connection with acquisition accounting and charged to the income statement. The non-cash tax expense (benefit) excludes certain deferred tax charges and benefits that do not currently result in a tax payment or tax refund. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information that enhances management's and investors' ability to evaluate TriQuint's operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be used in isolation and should not be considered a substitute for any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool, including that other companies may calculate similar non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool. The company compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amount excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. The company further compensates for the limitations of our use of non-GAAP financial measures by presenting comparable GAAP measures more prominently. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained within this press release with our GAAP net income and net income per share.
