Bob Gargus, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We had a very strong quarter. In spite of industry-wide supply chain constraints, we were able to proactively manage our business and delivered results that exceeded expectations. Through solid execution, we continue to leverage the business towards sustained double digit profitability."

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, impairment of strategic investment 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.
