Fiscal Second Quarter 2010 Details:
Revenue for the second quarter was $15.2 million, an increase of 1 percent over the prior quarter revenue of $15.0 million and a decrease of 25 percent from the $20.3 million reported in the second fiscal quarter a year ago.
Revenue from royalties was $11.4 million, an increase of $1.6 million or 17 percent from the prior quarter and a decrease of $1.2 million from the $12.6 million reported in the second quarter a year ago. License revenue was $3.8 million, a decrease of 27 percent from the $5.2 million reported in the prior quarter and a decrease of 51 percent from the $7.8 million reported in the second quarter a year ago.
The Company’s fiscal Q2 GAAP net income from continuing operations was $3.3 million or $0.07 per share. This compares with a net income of $0.6 million or $0.01 per share from continuing operations in the prior quarter, and a net income of $0.1 million continuing operations in the second quarter a year ago.
Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, which excludes certain costs detailed in the tables below, was $4.1 million or $0.09 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net income from continuing operations of $2.5 million or $0.06 per share in the prior quarter and $1.2 million or $0.03 per share in the second quarter a year ago. The tables below provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures used in this release to the corresponding GAAP results.
“Royalty revenues and earnings per share improved as expected in the second quarter despite a challenging European and North American licensing environment,” said Maury Austin, MIPS Technologies chief financial officer. “With the CEO search now behind us, we are focused on growing our license revenue. We are well-positioned for growth as we look ahead, with an accomplished new CEO, innovative technology, and a management team that is very focused on winning.”
MIPS Technologies announced on January 25, 2010 that Sandeep Vij has joined the Company as president and CEO.

These adjustments reconcile the Company’s GAAP results of operations to the reported non-GAAP results of operations. The Company believes that presentation of net income and net income per share excluding discontinued operations, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring cost, severance adjustment, gain on investment, tax adjustment and tax on change in legal structure provides meaningful supplemental information to investors, as well as management that is indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and budgeting purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s GAAP results, and may be different than non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
