Revenues for the first six months were $151.0 million compared to $108.3 million for the comparable period last year, a 39% increase.
The net loss on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $2.3 million or $(0.04) per share. The second quarter GAAP net loss compares with a net loss of $5.2 million or $(0.08) per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and a net loss of $8.1 million or $(0.12) per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

The non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $10.3 million or $0.16 per share, compared to the non-GAAP net income of $7.7 million or $0.12 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and a net loss of $3.0 million or $(0.04) per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

"I am pleased we were able to execute according to plan though macro economic conditions continued to worsen through the quarter. We expect a negative impact to our business for the next one to two quarters after which we remain optimistic given our strong product cycles and design win pipeline. In the interim, we continue to focus on implementing our growth strategies," said Kambiz Hooshmand, president and chief executive officer.
Bob Gargus, chief financial officer, commented, "This was a solid quarter financially. We were cash flow positive for the fourth straight quarter and our non-GAAP profitability improved as a percent of revenue for the fifth straight quarter. With non-GAAP operating income at 10% of revenue and EBITDA above 14% of revenue, we are clearly demonstrating our ability to leverage incremental revenue growth to the bottom line. We will continue to focus and execute on the financial fundamentals despite the challenging economic environment."
AMCC reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP and also provides additional financial data that have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
