Avago Finance Announces Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2009 Financial Results

SAN JOSE, Calif. & SINGAPORE — (BUSINESS WIRE) — June 4, 2009 Avago Technologies Finance Pte. Ltd. (“Avago Finance”), a leading designer, developer and global supplier of analog semiconductor devices, today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2009, ended May 3, 2009.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2009 GAAP Results

Revenue was $325 million, a decline of 11.7 percent when compared with the previous quarter, and down 20.9 percent from the same quarter last year. Gross margin was $98 million, or 30.2 percent of sales. Second quarter gross margin compares with a gross margin of $143 million, or 38.9 percent last quarter.

Net loss was $31 million, compared with net income of $6 million last quarter.

Cash balances at the end of the quarter increased sequentially by $46 million to $241 million primarily due to cash generated from operations.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2009 Non-GAAP Results

Gross margin declined to $115 million, or 35.4 percent. This compares with gross margin of $164 million, or 44.6 percent last quarter. Included in second quarter gross margin were charges of approximately $24 million, primarily related to inventory write-downs.

R&D expenses declined to $58 million, or 17.8 percent of revenue. Last quarter, R&D expenses were $61 million. Selling, general and administrative costs were $39 million, or 12.0 percent of revenue, compared with $41 million in the first quarter.

Net loss was $2 million, down from net income of $37 million last quarter. These overall results translated into Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the indentures governing our outstanding debt securities, of $40 million, versus $81 million in the prior quarter.

“Our second quarter results were impacted by the economic downturn and a continued contraction of our supply chain,” said Hock E. Tan, president and CEO of Avago Technologies. “During these challenging times we have implemented several cost control measures, including a program to reduce our worldwide workforce by 13 percent since January. At the same time, we are continuing to invest in product development critical to our long-term growth plans.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to GAAP reporting, consistent with past practice Avago Finance reports net income or loss, as well as gross margin and operating expenses, on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP earnings information excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, share-based compensation expense, asset impairment charges, restructuring charges, acquired in-process research and development, debt extinguishment (gains) losses and the results of discontinued operations. In addition, Avago Finance also discloses Adjusted EBITDA as measured by the indentures governing the Company’s outstanding debt securities. Avago Finance believes this non-GAAP earnings information provides additional insight into the Company’s on-going performance and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors in its debt securities for a more consistent basis of comparison and to emphasize the results of on-going operations. These historical non-GAAP measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP net income (loss) and a derivation of Adjusted EBITDA in accordance with our note indentures are included in the financial tables attached to this press release.

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to give effect to certain items that are required in calculating covenant compliance under our senior and senior subordinated notes as well as under our senior secured credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by subtracting from or adding to EBITDA items of income or expense described above. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent net income, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance.
 
Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow available for management or discretionary use as such measures do not consider certain cash requirements such as capital expenditures, tax payments and debt service requirements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures.
