Avago Technologies Announces
First Quarter Fiscal Year 2008 Financial Results
    Revenue up 7% year-over-year
 
    Non-GAAP operating income improved 47% over last year
 
    Adjusted EBITDA of $84 million, an increase of 12% over Q1 FY07
 
    Long-term debt declines 30% year-on-year
SAN JOSE, Calif., — February 28, 2008 — Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter, ended February 3, 2008.
On January 10, 2008 the Company completed the sale of its infrared product line. Accordingly, the contribution from this business is presented as discontinued operations.
First Quarter Fiscal 2008 GAAP Results
Net revenue of $402 million grew sequentially by $11 million, or 3 percent, and increased $27 million, or 7 percent over the same period a year ago. The sequential increase in a period of seasonal weakness underscores market share gains in the wired and wireless communications markets. Record gross margin of $157 million, or 39 percent of sales, represents an improvement of $28 million versus last quarter and $46 million compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
Operating expenses were $125 million, compared with $111 million in the previous quarter and $122 million in Q1 of fiscal 2007. Net income was $4 million, versus a net loss of $2 million last quarter and net income of $6 million in the same quarter a year ago.
Cash balances of $61 million at the end of January include the effect of $204 million used to redeem $200 million of the Company’s Floating Rate Notes. Additionally, $13 million, net, was spent on acquisitions and divestures and $18 million on recurring December year-end payments.
First Quarter Fiscal 2008 Non-GAAP Results
Strong sales of products serving the fiber optics and handset markets, combined with a more favorable product mix were key drivers for the $22 million uptick in gross profit from the previous quarter and a $31 million improvement from the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Corresponding gross margin of 43 percent represents a sequential and year-over-year increase of approximately 500 basis points.
With the conclusion of backend manufacturing outsourcing programs, technical resources previously focused on manufacturing engineering activities were redeployed to product development. This realignment, combined with higher project costs associated with a large number of new product introductions, were the main reason R&D expenses rose to $65 million for the quarter. Sales, general and administrative costs declined by $2 million sequentially, driven by continued cost control efforts.

 


 

Avago Technologies Reports First Quarter Fiscal Year 2008 Financial Results
Benefiting from the strong operating results, income from operations reached $63 million, or 16 percent of revenue, versus 14 percent in the preceding quarter and 11 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
The Company recorded record net income of $36 million in the first quarter. This compares with net income of $31 million in the prior quarter and $12 million in the same quarter a year ago. The positive operating performance resulted in Adjusted EBITDA reaching $84 million, a $2 million increase over the previous quarter and a $9 million improvement over the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
“Our robust revenue and operating performance during what is a seasonally weaker quarter illustrates the early results of aligning our product portfolio to address more profitable niches, and share gains in targeted markets,” said Hock E. Tan, president and CEO of Avago Technologies. “We continued to focus on improving our capital structure with the early redemption of $200 million of the Floating Rate Notes, further reducing our long-term debt to $705 million at the end of January.”
Financial Results Conference Call
Avago Technologies will host a conference call to review its financial results for the first fiscal quarter today at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Those wishing to access the call should dial (480) 629-9031 approximately 10 minutes prior to the start of the call. A replay will be available until Midnight Pacific Time Thursday, March 6, 2008. To access the replay, dial (303) 590-3030, passcode: 3844754.
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, Avago also discloses Adjusted EBITDA as measured by the Company’s 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.
