Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2007 Financial Results
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2007 Financial Results
• | Revenue of $391 million | ||
• | Cash reaches $309 million at end of October |
SAN JOSE, Calif., — November 29, 2007 —Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2007.
The results reported today exclude the contribution from the Company’s IrDA business, which is being sold to Lite-On Technology of Taiwan. This transaction is expected to close before the end of the calendar year following the satisfaction of regulatory requirements and other customary closing conditions.
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2007 GAAP Results
Net revenue of $391 million represents a $10 million, or 3 percent, increase over the previous quarter, driven by the seasonal growth in the consumer and computer peripherals and wireless markets. Gross profit and corresponding gross margin were $129 million and 33 percent respectively. Operating expenses were $111 million resulting in a net loss of $2 million.
Net revenue of $391 million represents a $10 million, or 3 percent, increase over the previous quarter, driven by the seasonal growth in the consumer and computer peripherals and wireless markets. Gross profit and corresponding gross margin were $129 million and 33 percent respectively. Operating expenses were $111 million resulting in a net loss of $2 million.
Cash balances increased by $96 million from the previous quarter to $309 million at the end of October. Key contributors to this increase include $120 million generated from operating activities, partially offset by $15 million used to repurchase the Company’s Senior Notes.
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2007 Non-GAAP Results
Reflecting the change towards wireless, consumer and computer peripherals products, gross margin of $150 million declined sequentially by 1 percentage point to 38.4 percent of sales. Operating expenses and operating margin of $97 million and 25 percent, respectively, were unchanged from the previous quarter.
Benefiting from the strong operating results, non-GAAP net income improved to 8 percent of sales, reaching $31 million, versus $26 million last quarter. Adjusted EBITDA of $82 million was essentially even with the prior quarter.
“Over the last year we have repositioned our product portfolio, made significant progress in improving operating and administrative efficiencies, and strengthened our cash position while lowering our debt and interest payment obligations,” said Hock E. Tan, president and CEO of Avago Technologies. “We are capitalizing on our demonstrated cash generation capabilities to redeem $200 million of our senior floating rate notes, bringing our total debt down by more than $1 billion over the last two years. The actions implemented over recent quarters have yielded these encouraging results, and position the company for better performance as we enter fiscal 2008.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to GAAP reporting, Avago reports net income or loss, as well as gross margin and operating expenses, on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP earnings information excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles and unusual items and their related tax effects. In addition, Avago also discloses Adjusted EBITDA as measured by the Company’s principal debt instruments. Avago believes this non-GAAP earnings information provides additional insight into the Company’s on-going performance and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to emphasize the results of on-going operations. These historical non-GAAP measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP net income (loss) is included in the tables below.

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to give effect to certain items that are required in calculating covenant compliance under our senior and senior subordinated notes as well as under our senior secured credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by subtracting from or adding to EBITDA items of income or expense described above. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent net income (loss), as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance.
Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow available for management or discretionary use as such measures do not consider certain cash requirements such as capital expenditures, tax payments and debt service requirements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures.
