    Q4 net revenues from continuing operations were $41.0 million down 30% year over year and 14% sequentially. Q4 revenues from the discontinued storage business were $4.5 million and down 65% year over year and 54% sequentially.
 
    Q4 and fiscal 2009 GAAP net loss was $(27.4) million and $(309.3) million or $(0.42) and $(4.74) per share, respectively. Q4 and fiscal 2009 loss from discontinued operations were $(4.6) million and $(48.2) million or $(0.07) and $(0.74) per share, respectively.
 
    Q4 2009 non-GAAP net loss was $(11.8) million or $(0.18) per share and fiscal 2009 non-GAAP net income of $10.2 million or $0.16 per share.
 
    Total cash was approximately $184 million as of March 31, 2009 (before the cash from the sale of the storage business).
 
    On April 21, 2009 AMCC completed the sale of its 3ware storage adapter solutions business for $20 million in cash.
 
    In Q4 2009, AMCC announced a reduction in force impacting slightly over 100 people that will result in anticipated annual savings of $14 to $16 million (this does not include the divestiture of the storage business).
 
    AMCC announced the introduction of the Yahara family of 10GbE Framer/Mapper/PHY devices for multi-service transport platforms and Metro/Long Haul Optical networks.

 


 

Net revenues from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 were $41.0 million compared to $47.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, representing a sequential decline of 14% and a decline of 30% over the $58.6 million in net revenues reported in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Revenues from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 were $214.2 million compared to $194.1 million for last year, a 10% increase.
The net loss on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $(27.4) million or $(0.42) per share. The fourth quarter GAAP net loss compares with a net loss of $(274.5) million or $(4.20) per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and a net loss of $(86.3) million or $(1.33) per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The GAAP net loss for fiscal 2009 was $(309.3) million or $(4.74) per share compared to $(115.1) million or $(1.70) per share for fiscal 2008. The losses for fiscal 2009 and 2008 included $264.1 million and $71.5 million, respectively, relating to the impairment write-down of goodwill.
Non-GAAP loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $(8.4) million or $(0.13) per share, compared to non-GAAP income from continuing operations of $3.3 million or $0.05 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and non-GAAP net income from continuing operations of $5.3 million or $0.08 per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for fiscal 2009 was $11.6 million or $0.18 per share compared to a non-GAAP loss from continuing operations of $(7.1) million or $(0.10) per share for fiscal 2008.
“The lower revenues were in line with our expectations given the overall depressed market conditions. The sale of our 3ware storage adapter business enables us to focus on our core strengths in the development of integrated circuits for energy-optimized packet-based networks. Given our solid product cycles and design-win pipeline combined with our strategic refocus, I am confident we will emerge from this downturn as a much stronger company.” said Kambiz Hooshmand, president and chief executive officer.
Bob Gargus, chief financial officer commented, “The fourth quarter was difficult, but with the divestiture and certain cost control measures that we have put in place, we are confident that it will enable us to optimally focus our resources on our core business sectors and give us a solid base to scale as revenues ramp back.”
AMCC reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP and also provides additional financial data that have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP results and other financial measures reported by the Company exclude certain items that are required by GAAP, such as restructuring charges, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation charges, impairment of goodwill, strategic investment written off and gain on renegotiated design tool agreement, other than temporary impairment on investments, tax provision related to the creation of deferred tax liability relating to a prior asset purchase acquisition transaction, realized gain on sale of strategic equity investment, payroll tax on certain stock option exercises and expenses related to stock option investigation and other litigation.
