MINDSPEED® REPORTS FISCAL 2007 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Company Returns to Non-GAAP Operating Profitability on Schedule
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., July 23, 2007– Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSPD), a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for network infrastructure applications, today announced revenues of $33.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, which ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 8 percent compared to $30.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and down 7 percent from the $35.9 million reported for the third quarter of fiscal 2006.
The company’s operating income on a non-GAAP basis was $300 thousand for the third fiscal quarter of 2007 compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $4.1 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2007. Presented on a GAAP basis, the operating loss was $1.9 million compared to $7.3 million for the second quarter.
The net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 on a non-GAAP basis was $300 thousand, or $0.00 per share, compared to $4.4 million, or $0.04 per share, for the second fiscal quarter. Presented on a GAAP basis, the net loss was $2.5 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to $7.6 million, or $0.07 per share, for the second fiscal quarter. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures are included in the accompanying financial data.
Revenues from high-performance analog (HPA) products increased 15 percent sequentially, contributing 28 percent of total third quarter revenues. Revenues from multiservice access voice-over-IP (VoIP) solutions were approximately flat sequentially, contributing 28 percent of the total. Revenues from wide-area networking (WAN) communications products increased 10 percent sequentially, contributing the remaining 44 percent of third quarter revenues.

“I am very proud of the efforts of the entire Mindspeed organization in returning our company to non-GAAP operating profitability, on schedule, in our third quarter of fiscal 2007,” said Raouf Halim, Mindspeed’s chief executive officer. “We delivered 8 percent sequential revenue growth and our non-GAAP gross margins returned to historical levels this past quarter. We also achieved our quarterly non-GAAP operating expense target of $22.5 million in the third quarter, a goal we established at the beginning of fiscal 2007.
“Most important, based on the continued strength of our backlog and anticipated ordering trends, we expect to improve our non-GAAP operating profitability in the current fourth fiscal quarter,” Halim said.
Outlook
Mindspeed expects fourth fiscal quarter revenues to be flat to up 5 percent sequentially. The company expects fourth quarter non-GAAP gross margin and operating expenses to be approximately flat sequentially.

Non-GAAP Measures
We provide non-GAAP measures as a supplement to financial results based on GAAP. A detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is set forth above under the heading “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP Measures.” Investors are encouraged to review this reconciliation. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP measures provides investors with additional insight into underlying operating results and prospects for the future by excluding stock-based compensation, employer taxes on stock-based compensation and/or the effects of special charges such as restructuring charges. We have historically reported similar financial measures and believe that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting.
We use non-GAAP gross margin, research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, operating loss, net loss, net loss per share and cash consumption internally to evaluate our operating performance and to determine certain components of management compensation. In addition, we use these non-GAAP measures for internal budgets and forecasts. We believe that these non-GAAP measures can be useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making.
Non-GAAP gross margin excludes stock-based compensation expense and employer taxes on stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, operating loss, net loss and net loss per share exclude stock-based compensation expense, employer taxes on stock-based compensation and special charges. Non-GAAP cash consumption is the net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents excluding the sales and purchases of marketable securities.
As a result of our adoption of SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment” in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, our GAAP statements of operations for periods in fiscal year 2006 include stock-based compensation expense. We believe that excluding stock-based compensation from non-GAAP measures facilitates a comparison of our results with prior periods and can enhance the understanding of our performance. We exclude employer taxes on stock-based compensation because we believe it provides a helpful perspective on our operating performance. We exclude special charges from non-GAAP measures because it includes restructuring charges and other significant discrete items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operations and economic performance. We provide cash consumption because we believe it is important for investors to understand changes in our total liquidity period to period.
We do not provide forward-looking GAAP measures or a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures because of our inability to project special charges and stock-based compensation related expenses.
The non-GAAP financial measures we provide have certain limitations because they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operation of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We endeavor to compensate for the limitations of these non-GAAP measures by providing GAAP financial statements, descriptions of the reconciling items and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures so that investors can appropriately incorporate the non-GAAP measures and their limitations into their analyses. For complete information on stock-based compensation and special charges, please see our financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” that will be included in the periodic report we expect to file with the SEC with respect to the financial periods discussed herein.
