Mellanox Technologies Announces Financial Results for Q1 2007
Third Consecutive Quarter of Record Revenue
SANTA CLARA, Calif. and YOKNEAM, ISRAEL – April 25, 2007 –Mellanox™ Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX), a leading supplier of semiconductor-based, high-performance interconnect products, today announced record financial results for its fiscal first quarter of 2007, ended March 31, 2007.
In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company recorded revenue in the first quarter of $16.9 million, up seven percent from the $15.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 and up 98 percent from $8.5 million in the first quarter a year ago.
Gross margins in the first quarter were 74.7 percent, compared with 75.1 percent in the fourth quarter and 70.5 percent in the first quarter a year ago. GAAP net income in the first quarter was $3.3 million or 20 percent of revenue.
On a non-GAAP basis, the company recorded first quarter net income of $3.9 million, compared with $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. These non-GAAP net income results exclude share-based compensation expenses.
The company generated a record $6.7 million of cash from operations during the quarter. Total cash and investments were $132.8 million at March 31, 2007.
“We are very pleased to report that our first quarter 2007 revenues nearly doubled from the comparable quarter of 2006 and represented the third consecutive quarter of record revenues, further demonstrating the increasing rate of InfiniBand adoption in the markets we are addressing,” said Eyal Waldman, chairman, president and CEO. “We continue to see our InfiniBand products being adopted in new applications, both in the Enterprise Data Center and the High Performance Computing markets. During the quarter we began sampling ConnectX IB, the first InfiniBand product from our fourth generation ConnectX architecture, to our major OEM customers. Interest in our ConnectX family of products continues to build, and we plan to begin sampling our ConnectX EN Ethernet adapters during the second quarter.”

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Mellanox uses non-GAAP measures of net income which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expenses. The company believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors, as these non-GAAP results exclude expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results. Management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation expenses because it enhances investors’ ability to review our business from the same perspective as management, which believes that stock-based compensation expenses are not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the company’s business operations. Further, management uses non-GAAP information as certain non-cash charges such as share-based compensation do not reflect the cash operating results of the business. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures may be different than the non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP condensed consolidated statements of operations is also presented in the financial statements portion of this release.

• Under GAAP, shares used in computing income per share attributable to ordinary shareholders are adjusted for the amount of time they are outstanding during the period. Because the shares issued pursuant to our initial public offering were issued, and all of our then outstanding preferred shares converted into ordinary shares, on February 13 2007, those shares were adjusted for the amount of time they were outstanding during the period as part of the GAAP SHARES- BASIC calculation. The GAAP SHARES-BASIC have been adjusted to a non-GAAP measure as if those ordinary shares were outstanding during the entire period to provide a comparable share number in future quarters.
• This adjustment adds back the GAAP effect of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares from stock options had been issued under the treasury method.
