SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 29, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (Nasdaq:AMCC) today reported its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 ended December 31, 2008.
* Q3 net revenues were $57.6 million down 13% year over year. * Q3 GAAP net loss of $274.5 million or $(4.20) per share primarily due to a $264.1 million non-cash write-down of Goodwill and an other than temporary $10.1 million impairment of investments. * Q3 non-GAAP net income of $3.9 million or $0.06 per share. * Total cash was approximately $188 million. * AMCC further demonstrated its 10G OTN product leadership with the announcement that its Pemaquid S19258, a member of the Metro Ethernet (MEtrON) family of products, received the PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2008 award from Electronic Products Magazine.
Net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 were $57.6 million compared to $76.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, representing a sequential decline of 25% and a decline of 13% over the $66.3 million reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Revenues for the first nine months were $208.6 million compared to $174.6 million for the comparable period last year, a 19% increase.
The net loss on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $274.5 million or $(4.20) per share. The third quarter GAAP net loss compares with a net loss of $2.3 million or $(0.04) per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and a net loss of $4.3 million or $(0.06) per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Year to date, GAAP net loss was $281.9 million or $(4.33) per share compared to $28.8 million or $(0.42) per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2008. The large loss was due primarily to a $264.1 million write-down of goodwill and a $10.1 million impairment of cash investments.
The non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $3.9 million or $0.06 per share, compared to the non-GAAP net income of $10.3 million or $0.16 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and a net income of $3.9 million or $0.06 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Year to date, non-GAAP net income was $22.0 million or $0.34 per share compared to non-GAAP net loss of $6.4 million or $(0.09) per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2008.
"This was a difficult quarter across the board. General economic conditions continue to be unpredictable and order visibility remains very low. However, I am confident our solid product cycles and design win pipeline will enable us to emerge from this crisis in a stronger position," said Kambiz Hooshmand, president and chief executive officer.
Bob Gargus, chief financial officer commented, "This was a challenging quarter but we did an excellent job of controlling costs and managing our working capital. As the global economic crisis continues to evolve, we will continue to focus on prudent Op-Ex management while executing our long range plan."
AMCC 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, impairment of goodwill, gain on renegotiated tool agreement, other than temporary impairment on investments, realized gain on strategic equity investment, tax provision related to the creation of deferred tax liability relating to a prior asset purchase acquisition transaction, payroll tax on certain stock option exercises and expenses related to stock option investigation and other litigation. Expenses related to stock option investigation consist primarily of fees paid to professional service firms in connection with the Company's internal investigation of historical stock option grant practices and the resulting restatement of the Company's financial statements, the investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Attorney's office arising from the internal investigation and the defense of derivative lawsuits arising from the Company's internal investigation and other litigation relates to an accrual made for a potential litigation settlement. 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.
