Avago Technologies Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2007 Financial Results
SAN JOSE, Calif., – May 31, 2007 – Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter, ended April 30, 2007.
Net revenue increased to $386 million, compared with $384 million in the previous quarter and $373 million in the same period a year ago. Strong sequential growth in the industrial and automotive market was partially offset by the seasonal weakness in the wired infrastructure and consumer and computer peripherals segments.
Second Quarter 2007 GAAP Results
Gross margin of $137 million improved sequentially by $24 million to 35 percent of revenue, primarily driven by a $13 million reduction in restructuring charges. Total operating expenses of $110 million declined $15 million from the first quarter reflecting lower restructuring and stock compensation expenses recorded in the second quarter.
Including an $11 million earnout primarily from the disposed Printer ASICs business, net income in the second quarter was $4 million. This compares with $6 million in the previous quarter, which benefited from a $49 million gain generated mainly from the sale of the CMOS Image Sensor business.
During the second quarter the Company repurchased a portion of its Senior Notes, using $85 million in cash to retire $77 million principal amount of this debt tranche. Cash generation of $54 million by operating activities partially offset this outflow, resulting in cash balances of $200 million at the end of April.
Second Quarter 2007 Non-GAAP Results
Gross margin of $153 million, or 40 percent of revenue, represents a sequential improvement of 240 basis points. A more favorable product mix and higher manufacturing yields contributed to the sequential improvement. Continued efforts to optimize corporate infrastructure costs resulted in total operating expenses declining by $4 million to $96 million in the second quarter. Expanding gross margin and reduced operating expenses drove operating margin up 4 percentage points versus the first quarter, to an all time high of 15 percent of revenue.
Non-GAAP net income increased nearly three-fold sequentially to $33 million, while Adjusted EBITDA improved to $88 million from $74 million in the prior quarter.
“Our improved financial performance for the second quarter reflects the benefit of our broad product portfolio and an increasingly variable cost structure,” said Hock E. Tan, president and CEO of Avago Technologies. “Additionally, capitalizing on our cash generation capabilities, we recently initiated a strategic acquisition, expanding future opportunities for revenue growth within the attractive industrial and automotive market.”

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, 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.
