California Micro Devices Reports December Quarter Financial Results

MILPITAS, Calif. – Jan. 22, 2008 – California Micro Devices (Nasdaq Global: CAMD) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, which ended December 31, 2007. Meeting revised guidance, revenue was $15.0 million compared to $17.7 million a year ago. Exceeding revised guidance, diluted EPS on a GAAP basis was $0.01 compared to $0.03 a year ago. Also exceeding revised guidance, EPS on a non-GAAP basis, excluding Arques Technology acquisition costs and employee stock-based compensation expenses, and using a cash basis tax rate, was $0.04 compared to $0.06 a year ago.

“Q3 revenue was below the midpoint of our revised guidance due to lower than expected demand for our handset protection devices while revenue from the personal computer and digital consumer markets exceeded guidance and was the highest it has been in the last several years,” said Robert V. Dickinson, president and CEO. “Although our revenue was modestly affected by the late October power failure at one of our foundry partners, we expect to recover most of the shortfall in Q4.” He noted that bookings were down sequentially consistent with lower revenue and seasonal patterns while design wins rebounded driven by record design wins for low capacitance ESD devices as well as an increase in design wins at top 5 mobile handset manufacturers.

“I’m also very pleased to report that we are now shipping to four of the world’s top 5 mobile handset manufacturers, marking an important milestone for our company,” added Dickinson.

Providing guidance for the March quarter, Dickinson expects revenue to be between $13.5 and $15.0 million and diluted EPS on a GAAP basis to be a loss between ($0.03) and ($0.01). On a non-GAAP basis, excluding Arques Technology acquisition costs and employee stock-based compensation expenses, and using a cash basis tax rate, he anticipates diluted EPS to be between breakeven and a profit of $0.02.

All statements contained in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. They are not guarantees of future performance or events. Rather, they are based on current expectations, estimates, beliefs, assumptions, and goals and objectives and are subject to uncertainties that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from the statements made. Often such statements can be identified by their use of words such as will, intends, expects, plans, believes, anticipates, and estimates. Forward-looking statements made in this release include our expected revenues and GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the fiscal 2008 fourth quarter. These forward-looking statements are based upon our assumptions about and assessment of the future, which may or may not prove true, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to whether our customers experience the demand we anticipate for their products based in part upon their input and our order backlog; whether the designed performance of our devices satisfies our customers’ requirements so that they continue to design our devices into their products; whether our devices perform to their design specification; whether we incur unexpected operating expenses;; there not being any unanticipated price reductions for our devices whether due to competitor inroads or otherwise; and there being no interruption in the supply of quality product from our contract manufacturers, contract assemblers and test houses as well as the risk factors detailed in the company’s Form 8K, 10K, and 10Q filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Due to these and other risks, the company’s future actual results could differ materially from those discussed above. These forward-looking statements speak only as to the date of this release, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly release updates or revisions to these statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company’s earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures which, among other items, exclude the effects of employee share-based compensation and the requirements of SFAS No. 123R, “Share-based Payment” (“123R”). The non-GAAP financial measures used by management and disclosed by the company exclude the income statement effects of all forms of employee share-based compensation and the effects of 123R upon the number of diluted shares used in calculating non-GAAP earnings per share. The non-GAAP financial measures also exclude Arques Technology acquisition related costs, including amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and, during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, one-time charges for acquired in-process research and development . In addition, these non-GAAP measures utilize a tax rate that is based upon the income taxes the company expects to actually pay relating to this quarter’s activities and results. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Set forth below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. For additional information concerning the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the Form 8-K dated January 22, 2008 which the company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 22, 2008.
