SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/28/15 -- Inphi Corporation (NYSE: IPHI), a leading provider of high-speed analog and mixed-signal semiconductor solutions for the communications, data center and computing markets, today announced the financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2015.
Revenue in the first quarter of 2015 was $59.2 million, up 8.0% sequentially from $54.8 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2014. This was up 90% year over year compared with $31.2 million in the first quarter of 2014.
Gross margin under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the first quarter of 2015 was 50.6%, compared with 64.5% of revenue in the first quarter of 2014. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to the amortization of inventory fair value step-up related to the acquired Cortina inventories, sold during the first quarter of 2015, and amortization of the acquired intangibles.
GAAP net loss in the first quarter of 2015 was $9.7 million, or ($0.26) per diluted common share, compared with GAAP net loss of $1.0 million, or ($0.03) per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2014.
Inphi reports revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, net income (loss), and earnings per share in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, net income, and earnings per share, as well as a description of the items excluded from the non-GAAP calculations, is included in the financial statements portion of this news release.
Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis in the first quarter of 2015 was 66.6%, compared with 65.3% in the first quarter of 2014.
Non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2015 was $9.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share. This compared with non-GAAP net income of $2.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2014.
"I am pleased to report that our Q1 non-GAAP revenue and earnings per share came in at the high end of our guidance," said Ford Tamer, Inphi President and CEO. "The new technologies that we announced and demonstrated at the Optical Fiber Conference were well received. We are confident this will enable Inphi to participate in an upcoming multi-billion dollar Data Center Interconnect opportunity. In 2015, we will continue to invest for top line growth and we are committed to generating significant EPS and cash flow."
Business Outlook The following statements are based on our current expectations for the second quarter of 2015. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially.
- Revenues are expected to be flat to up 2% sequentially for Q2 2015, resulting in a range of $59.6 million to $60.8 million.
- Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be approximately 68.1% - 68.6%.
- Stock-based compensation expense is expected to be in the range of $7.0 million to $7.4 million.
- GAAP results are expected to be in a range between a net loss of $1.0 million to $1.8 million, or ($0.03) - ($0.05) per diluted share, on approximately 38.4 million basic shares outstanding.
- Non-GAAP net income, excluding stock-based compensation expense, is expected to be in the range of $8.9 million to $9.7 million, or $0.22 - $0.24 per diluted share, on 40.86 million estimated fully diluted shares outstanding.

INPHI CORPORATION
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP NET INCOME TO NON-GAAP NET INCOME
(in thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
To supplement the financial data presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude stock-based compensation, legal, other expenses, purchase price fair value adjustments related to Cortina acquisition and deferred tax asset valuation allowance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP. These results should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The Company believes that its non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because it excludes charges or benefits that management considers to be outside of the Company's core operating results. The Company believes that the non-GAAP measures of gross margin, net income and earnings per share in combination with the Company's financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide investors with additional perspective and a more meaningful understanding of the Company's ongoing operating performance. In addition, the Company's management uses these non-GAAP measures to review and assess the financial performance of the Company, to determine executive officer incentive compensation and to plan and forecast performance in future periods. The Company's non-GAAP measurements are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, and are not an alternative to GAAP financial information, and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies.
