SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Inphi Corporation (NYSE: IPHI), a leader in high-speed data movement interconnects, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2020.
GAAP ResultsRevenue in the second quarter of 2020 was a record $175.3 million on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, up 103.2% year-over-year, compared with $86.3 million in the second quarter of 2019. The increase was due to higher demand for Cloud and Telecommunications products as well as the inclusion of eSilicon revenues as a result of the acquisition that closed on January 10, 2020.Gross margin under GAAP in the second quarter of 2020 was 53.0%, compared with 56.9% in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was mainly due to amortization of intangibles, step up value of inventories related to the eSilicon acquisition and product and revenue mix.GAAP operating loss in the second quarter of 2020 was $4.3 million or (2.4%) of revenue, compared to GAAP operating loss in the second quarter of 2019 of $14.2 million or (16.5%) of revenue. The decrease in operating loss was mainly due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher operating expenses.GAAP net loss includes a charge of $13.3 million associated with the extinguishment of approximately $403.5 million in face value of convertible notes of which $180.4 million were coming due in December 2020 and $223.1 million were coming due in September 2021. We paid the principal value in cash and settled the excess spread in shares of our common stock. In most cases a very small premium was paid in either cash or stock to induce early extinguishment and thereby capped any further dilution if the stock price were to continue to rise before maturity. Approximately, $4.0 million in cash inducements, advisory fees and other transaction costs were paid on the debt extinguishment. Approximately, 4.9 million shares of common stock were also issued at a weighted average price of $112 per share, of which approximately 3.3 million shares were already included in the first quarter non-GAAP weighted average shares calculation using an average stock price of approximately $78.GAAP provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2020 include a one-time benefit of approximately $5.6 million primarily from the reversal of a previously accrued reserve for transfer pricing as the result of the formal closure of an income tax audit. This benefit was offset by a corresponding change in income tax valuation allowance.GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2020 was $24.1 million or ($0.49) per diluted common share, compared with $20.6 million or ($0.46) per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2019. Inphi reports gross profit, 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 gross profit, operating expenses, operating income, 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 press release.Non-GAAP ResultsGross margin on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2020 was 64.1%, compared with 70.1% in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was due to product mix, mainly from the sale of eSilicon products that have a lower margin.Non-GAAP operating income in the second quarter of 2020 was $50.3 million, compared with non-GAAP operating income of $16.5 million in the second quarter of 2019. The increase is primarily due to higher gross profit and higher operating leverage.Non-GAAP benefit for income taxes for the second quarter of 2020 include a one-time benefit of approximately $5.6 million primarily from the reversal of a previously accrued reserve for transfer pricing as the result of the formal closure of an income tax audit.Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2020 was $50.9 million, or $0.95 per diluted common share. This includes the one-time tax benefit referred to above which represents approximately $0.10 per diluted share as part of the $0.95 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2020. This compares with non-GAAP net income of $16.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2019.“In Q2 our product offerings were firing on all cylinders. On a year-over-year basis, our Cloud revenue grew 92% driven by our PAM4 products inside data centers and our COLORZ solution between data centers. Our Telecom revenue grew 119% driven by both our new ASIC and PAM4 for 5G and our coherent solutions for long haul and metro,” said Ford Tamer, President and CEO of Inphi Corporation. “We continue to invest in resources both organically and through strategic acquisitions that can scale Inphi to larger opportunities ahead. Although we are cautious with regard to the macro uncertainties, we believe our continued success and breadth of product cycles will drive sequential growth in the third quarter.”First Half 2020 Results
