MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Jul 29, 2008 -- Actel Corporation (NASDAQ: ACTL) today announced net revenues of $57.6 million for the second quarter of 2008, up 5 percent from the first quarter of 2008 and up 18 percent from the second quarter of 2007.

Non-GAAP net income, which excludes stock-based compensation, option restatement expenses, and other nonrecurring adjustments, was $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared with $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2008 and $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2007. Non-GAAP earnings were $0.15 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2008 compared with $0.11 for the first quarter of 2008 and $0.10 for the second quarter of 2007.

Including stock-based compensation, option restatement expenses, and other adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Actel reported net income of $2.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2008 compared with net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008 and net loss of $2.6 million, or ($0.10) per basic share, for the second quarter of 2007.

Gross margin was 60.0 percent for the second quarter of 2008 compared with 58.5 percent for the first quarter of 2008 and 59.2 percent for the second quarter of 2007.

Business Outlook - Third Quarter 2008

The Company believes that third quarter 2008 revenues will be one percent up to three percent down sequentially. Gross margin is expected to be around 57 percent. Operating expenses are anticipated to come in at approximately $30.7 million, which excludes an estimated $2.0 million of stock-based compensation expense. Other income is expected to be about $1.8 million. The tax rate for the quarter is expected to be about 30 percent. Outstanding fully diluted share count is expected to be about 26.2 million shares. This guidance does not include any one-time charges for the Pigeon Point Systems acquisition, which will be determined during the third quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share data, and other non-GAAP line items from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, including total costs and expenses, income from operations, and income before tax provision. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP adjustments are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our operating performance. Actel believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Actel's financial condition and results of operations, in particular by excluding certain expense and income items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. Actel believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. In addition, since we have historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting.

Forward-Looking Statement Safe Harbor

The statements in the paragraph under the heading "Business Outlook - Third Quarter 2008" are forward-looking statements made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and should be read with the "Risk Factors" in Actel's most recent Form 10-Q, which can be found on Actel's web site, www.actel.com. Actel's quarterly revenues and operating results are subject to a multitude of risks, including general economic conditions and a variety of risks specific to Actel or characteristic of the semiconductor industry, such as fluctuating demand, intense competition, rapid technological change and related intellectual property and international trade issues, wafer and other supply shortages, and booking and shipment uncertainties. These and the other Risk Factors make it difficult for Actel to accurately project quarterly revenues and operating results, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Any failure to meet expectations could cause the price of Actel's stock to decline significantly.
