Applied Micro Circuits Corporation Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2012 Financial Results

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jul 28, 2011 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) --

Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (Nasdaq:AMCC) ("AppliedMicro") today reported its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, ended June 30, 2011.

  --  Q1 2012 net revenues were $60.8 million, up 4% sequentially and up 0.1%
      year over year.

  --  Q1 2012 GAAP net loss was $6.9 million or $0.11 per share compared to
      net loss of $4.0 million or $0.06 per share for the fourth quarter of
      fiscal 2011.

  --  Q1 2012 non-GAAP EPS was $0.01 per share on net income of $0.6 million,
      compared to $0.04 per share on net income of $2.7 million, from
      continuing operations, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

  --  Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments was
      approximately $142 million as of June 30, 2011 compared to $168 million
      as of March 31, 2011. The decrease in cash is mainly due to stock
      buyback contracts and investment in working capital.

  --  During the quarter, the Company announced the introduction of the
      following products:


  --  APM86491 a high-performance System-on-a-Chip (SoC) featuring a 1.2GHz
      PowerPC(R) 465 processing core for advanced Network Attached Storage
      (NAS), Wireless Access Point (WAP) and media gateway systems for the
      connected home market. The APM86491 offers twice the performance of
      competing devices, reduced bill-of-materials (BOM) cost and
      energy-efficient power consumption as low as 2.5W to bring
      enterprise-class performance to consumer systems.

  --  APM86791 PacketPro(TM) Gen2 embedded processor aimed at growing network
      transport, enterprise and consumer markets. The APM86791 is designed to
      deliver the industry's most advanced but cost effective network security
      measures for enhanced protection against intrusion threats, system
      hacking and theft of system-level intellectual property. The APM86791
      leverages AppliedMicro's SLIMpro(TM) Trusted Management Module (TMM) to
      offer multi-layered encryption and authentication capabilities that
      manufacturers and network administrators need to make systems impervious
      to the most sophisticated attacks on security keys, proprietary software
      code and hardware.

  --  S28010 Gearbox integrated circuit devices for 100 Gigabit Ethernet CFP
      client optical interfaces. As the industry's first single-chip CMOS
      offering, the S28010 enables cost-effective, power-efficient 100GBASE-R4
      optical modules to expand connection speeds from 10Gbps to 100Gbps for
      high-end switching and routing equipment.


Net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were $60.8 million compared to $58.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, representing a sequential increase of 3.8% and an increase of 0.1% over the $60.8 million in net revenues reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

The net loss on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $6.9 million or $0.11 per share. The first quarter GAAP net loss compares with a net loss of $4.0 million or $0.06 per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and a net income of $1.4 million or $0.02 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Non-GAAP income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $0.6 million or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP income from continuing operations of $2.7 million or $0.04 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and non-GAAP net income from continuing operations of $8.3 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

"Although we achieved our revenue targets for the quarter we did experience unfavorable product mix primarily with anticipated "turns" revenue for the quarter. Despite the hit to our gross margins we continue to see a high level of interest in our products and technology and I remain convinced that the long term fundamental growth drivers of our business remain intact." said Dr.Paramesh Gopi, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Bob Gargus, Chief Financial Officer commented, "The unexpected change in gross margin is disappointing and as a result we will take actions to rebalance our operating expenses while retaining focus on the delivery of our new high growth products."

AppliedMicro reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP and also provides additional financial data that have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP results and other financial measures reported by the Company exclude certain items that are required by GAAP, such as restructuring charges, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation charges, other-than-temporary impairment on investments, payroll taxes on certain stock option exercises and non-cash tax adjustments. Income taxes are adjusted to an estimated non-GAAP effective tax rate. These non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures and may not be consistent with the presentation used by other companies. The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and manage its operations. The Company is providing this information to allow investors to perform additional financial analysis and because it is consistent with the financial models and estimates published by analysts who follow the Company. The attached schedule reconciles non-GAAP results and other financial measures reported by the Company with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

AppliedMicro management will be holding a conference call today, July 28, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time/5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss additional details regarding the Company's performance for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and to provide guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
