Eli Fruchter, CEO of EZchip, commented, "We are pleased to report a record quarter in revenues and profits primarily driven by recent improvements in carriers capex towards edge routing. During the third quarter we continued the testing of the NP-5 samples that arrived last quarter and are pleased to report that testing is proceeding according to plan and we expect the NP-5 to move to production next year.
"In its latest NPU market report published last month, The Linley Group discussed the NPS and emphasized that the evolutionary approach to NPU designs will be unable to keep pace with carriers' requirements and that a revolutionary approach is required, such as the bold move that EZchip made in developing the NPS.
"Furthermore, based on the market share analysis provided in The Linley report and taking into account EZchip's sales to Cisco through Marvell, in 2012 EZchip became, for the first time, the overall NPU market share leader, with 23% of the market. With EZchip's current growth rate, we believe our market leadership position will likely strengthen in 2013 and beyond."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this release of operating results also contains non-GAAP financial measures, which EZchip believes are the principal indicators of the operating and financial performance of its business. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expenses recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 718 and amortization of intangible assets. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures provided are useful to investors' understanding and assessment of the Company's on-going core operations and prospects for the future, as the charges eliminated are not part of the day-to-day business or reflective of the core operational activities of the Company. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as a basis for strategic decisions, forecasting future results and evaluating the Company's current performance. However, such measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the schedules attached to this release.
