SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 28, 2016) - Inphi Corporation (
Revenue in the first quarter of 2016 was a record $66.5 million on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, up 3.3% sequentially from $64.4 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2015 and up 12% year-over-year, compared with $59.2 million in the first quarter of 2015.
Gross margin under GAAP in the first quarter of 2016 was 63.5%, compared with 50.6% in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher product cost in the first quarter of 2015 as a result of higher inventory fair value step-up related to the acquired Cortina inventories sold during the first quarter of 2015.
GAAP income from operations in the first quarter of 2016 was $2.5 million or 3.8% of revenue, compared to a GAAP loss from operations in the first quarter of 2015 of $5.5 million or (9.3%) of revenue.
GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2016 was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted common share, compared with GAAP net loss of $9.7 million, or ($0.26) per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2015.
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, 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 2016 increased to 68.8%, compared with 66.6% in the first quarter of 2015.
Non-GAAP income from operations in the first quarter of 2016 was $13.7 million, or 20.6% of revenue, compared with $11.2 million, or 18.7% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2015.
Non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2016 was $11.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share. This compares with non-GAAP net income of $9.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2015.
"We are delighted to report another strong quarter in Q1 and pleased to be forecasting continued growth in Q2," said Ford Tamer president and CEO of Inphi Corporation. "We introduced several new products at March's Optical Fiber Conference this year and we are excited about their potential. We are working hard to get all of these new product offerings into production by the end of the year. Reflecting the market's growing interest in high speed optical communication, we are confident that we have the right team, delivering the right products to leverage this growing market opportunity in the quarters to come," he said.

| RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES |
| (in thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts) |
To supplement the financial data presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude stock-based compensation, legal, transition costs and other expenses, purchase price fair value adjustments related to Cortina acquisition, non-cash interest expense related to convertible debt 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, income from operations, 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.
