The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, the Company supplements reported GAAP financials with non-GAAP measures which are included in related press releases and reports furnished to the SEC, copies of which are available at the Company’s website: http://www.exar.com or the SEC’s website at: http://www.sec.gov. For the periods presented, we are disclosing non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share, which are adjusted to exclude from our GAAP results all stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, fair value adjustment of acquired inventories, acquisition-related costs, exit costs, separation costs of executive officers, acceleration of depreciation on abandoned equipment, impairment of purchased intangible assets, impairment charges on investments and income tax effects. These non-GAAP measures are presented in part to enhance the understanding of the Company’s historical financial performance and comparability between reporting periods.

For its internal purposes, the Company uses the foregoing non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance across reporting periods, determine certain employee benefits as well as plan for and forecast the Company’s future periods. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

A supplemental reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures is included in the financial statements portion of the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Exar Corporation Reports Fiscal 2011 Fourth Quarter Results

Fremont, California, May 5, 2011 – Exar Corporation (Nasdaq: EXAR) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2011 fourth quarter ended March 27, 2011.

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 were $33.8 million compared to net sales of $35.4 million for the prior quarter and $38.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.

The GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was 35.0% compared to 45.5% for the prior quarter and 50.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.

On a non-GAAP basis, the gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was 46.1% compared to 50.0% for the prior quarter and 54.0% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.

The GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was $18.8 million, or $0.42 net loss per share, compared to a net loss of $5.0 million, or $0.11 net loss per share in the prior quarter, and a net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.08 net loss per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.

On a non-GAAP basis, the net loss was $4.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 or $0.10 net loss per share, compared to net loss of $1.9 million, or $0.04 net loss per share in the previous quarter, and the net income of $1.5 million, or $0.03 earnings per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.

The Company ended the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 with cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities of $201 million.

“We completed fiscal 2011 with revenue growth of 8.2% year over year. As the fourth quarter progressed we saw momentum in new orders and shipments,” said Pete Rodriguez, the Company’s president and chief executive officer. “During the period we exited the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Card market as announced on March 4, 2011. We reduced our quarterly operating expenses by approximately $3 million, thereby significantly reducing our revenue breakeven point.”

For the first quarter of fiscal 2012 ending July 3, 2011, the Company projects that net sales will be between $34 million and $36 million. The non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be between 47% and 49%. Operating expenses are expected to be between $18 million and $19 million on a non-GAAP basis.

The Company’s statements about its future financial performance or operating plans are based on current information and expectations and the Company undertakes no duty to update such statements. These statements are forward-looking and actual results could differ materially due to various risks and uncertainties, some of which are described herein.
