SAN DIEGO, February 2, 2011 — Entropic Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENTR), a leading provider of silicon and software solutions to enable connected home entertainment, today reported its fourth quarter and fiscal year results for the period ended December 31, 2010. Entropic reported fourth quarter net revenues of $70.8 million, an increase of 15 percent compared with $61.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 and an increase of 102 percent compared to $35.1 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2009.
In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company’s fourth quarter net income was $48.6 million, or $0.55 per share (diluted). This compares with GAAP net income of $11.3 million, or $0.15 per share (diluted) in the third quarter of 2010. Included in GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was a one-time tax benefit of $31.6 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, associated with the reversal of a valuation allowance related to certain deferred tax assets.
Non-GAAP net income in the fourth quarter was $20.3 million, or $0.22 per share (diluted), compared to non-GAAP net income of $14.5 million, or $0.18 per share (diluted) in the third quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 excludes $406,000 in amortization of intangibles, $2.9 million in stock compensation expense and the $31.6 million one-time, non-cash tax benefit associated with the reversal of the valuation allowance described above. A reconciliation of the comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP measures used in this release is included in the attached tables.
Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $210.2 million, an increase of 81 percent from the $116.3 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2009. Net income computed in accordance with GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $64.7 million, or $0.82 per share (diluted), compared with GAAP net loss of $13.2 million, or ($0.19) per share (diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2009. Non-GAAP net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $45.2 million, or $0.55 per share (diluted), compared to non-GAAP net income of $0.1 million, or breakeven on a per share basis (diluted) for the year ended December 31, 2009.
“I am very pleased with our results this quarter and am excited about our long-term opportunities. We turned in record quarterly and year-end revenue and generated more net income in Q4 2010 than we have in any other quarter in the Company’s history,” said Patrick Henry, president and CEO of Entropic Communications. “Entropic continues to penetrate the expanding connected home entertainment market and is building on its leadership position with the world’s first MoCA 2.0 silicon. Looking forward, I expect Entropic will benefit from continued HDTV, DVR and multi-room DVR penetration worldwide, as well as the paradigm shift around streaming IP-based video and multimedia content and services throughout the home.”
David Lyle, chief financial officer, commented, “This quarter marks a turning point in Entropic’s history. As a result of our recent uptick in profitability, we reversed the valuation allowance previously placed on our deferred tax assets, comprised mainly of net operating loss carry forwards and research and development tax credits.

time, non-cash accounting entry indicates strengthened conviction in the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future profits to fully utilize these tax assets. More importantly, our fourth quarter non-GAAP results show the continued strength of our business and the leverage in our model with 41 percent sequential earnings growth on 15 percent sequential revenue growth.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables contain the following non-GAAP financial measures: net income and net income per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effects on the Statement of Operations of, among others, all forms of stock-based compensation, non-cash acquired intangibles amortization and impairment charges, restructuring charges, and the tax benefit associated with the valuation allowance reversal, and their related effects on the number of diluted shares used in calculating non-GAAP income (loss) per share.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to manage the company’s business, including setting operating budgets and executive compensation plans. These non-GAAP measures are also used to (i) supplement the financial results and forecasts reported to the company’s board of directors, (ii) evaluate the company’s operating performance, (iii) compare the company’s performance to internal forecasts, and (iv) manage the company’s business and benchmarking performance internally. The non-GAAP measures have been made available to stockholders consistently in the past to provide transparency on how management manages the company’s operating performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP operating measures are useful to investors, when used as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating the company’s ongoing operational performance.
The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
