Management Commentary
Dr. Avi Katz, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of GigOptix commented, “I am pleased to report another record revenue quarter for GigOptix, representing the fourth consecutive quarter of both double digit growth and approximately $1.0 million or more of revenue growth compared to the prior quarter. Additionally, we achieved our first quarter of non-GAAP profitability and generated our second consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA, which improved by a factor of more than three over the second quarter. Our results were driven by continued momentum and market share gains as we capitalized on our leadership position in 40G and 100G optical products. We believe our expanded product offerings position GigOptix as the only pure play provider of electronic devices for high-speed fiber-optical communications covering all applications (drivers, amplifiers and modulators), all speeds (from 1-120G), and all distances (from Very Short Reach (VSR) to Ultra Long Haul (ULH)).
“Most notable, during the third quarter we introduced our 40G and 100G Bundled Solutions, which we believe sets another industry first by providing a complete solution set comprised of a Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) and a TFPS Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM) with a matched driver for an optical application. Our goal is to simplify our customers’ supply chain and development efforts by offering a one-stop-shop for all of their 40G and 100G requirements, including drivers, receivers and modulators, which will also enhance inter-operability quality and performance. We believe this strategy offers a compelling value proposition to our customers and also represents a competitive advantage for GigOptix, as these products are not currently available from any other single supplier.
“Shortly following the close of the third quarter, we achieved a significant milestone as we began shipping the industry’s first production samples of our TFPS MZM to Tier-1 telecom customers. This proprietary technology enables electro-optical polymer MZMs that establish new performance thresholds in our industry in terms of small size and low power. Our high bandwidth TFPS MZM is optimized for the stringent telecom thermal and optical stability requirements demanded by our customers and we believe greatly strengthens our comprehensive Bundled Solutions of 40G and 100G drivers and receiver TIAs.
“We also introduced a new family of ultralow power multirate SMART Optical Sub-Assemblies (OSAs) targeting short reach datacom applications, which were demonstrated at the European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communications (ECOC) in late September. Our SMART Receive OSA (ROSA) and SMART Transmit OSA (TOSA) are based on a new generation of GigOptix’ VCSEL driver and TIA/limiting amplifier chips that combine advanced RF analog circuit techniques that reduce power consumption with mixed signal circuits to enable a fully digitally controlled TOSA and ROSA. Given their ultralow power dissipation and ease of design, we believe there is significant opportunity for our SMART TOSA and SMART ROSA products not only in the traditional datacom market but also in consumer, industrial and avionics markets.”
Dr. Katz concluded, “The third quarter represents our 13th quarter of consistent execution since the inception of the Company in July 2007, and we are proud of our continuing ability to exceed our original GigOptix growth plan. During this time, we have focused on enhancing our product portfolio to offer complete solutions for all speeds from 10G to 100G and across all reaches from VSR to UHL. As a result, GigOptix now benefits from the most comprehensive portfolio of electronic devices for fiber optic high speed communications that is available in the market today, comprised of drivers, receivers, modulators and enhanced technology offerings. Going forward, we will focus on expanding our customer base and enhancing our product portfolio by achieving a higher level of integration with our Bundled Solutions, as well as continuing to pioneer even higher communication speeds up to 1TBps over the next five years. We are a mission critical company that has a proven record of successful execution against our business plan, and a growing base of outstanding partners and customers. I believe we will continue to further our leadership position in our target markets, while building long-term value for our shareholders in the coming quarters and years.”
Third Quarter Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was $7.2 million, an increase of 130 percent over the $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2009 and a 15 percent increase over the $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2010.
Gross profit on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2010 was $3.8 million, compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2009 and $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2010. GAAP gross margin for the period was 53 percent, compared to 58 percent during the third quarter of 2009 and 56 percent for the second quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP gross profit was $4.0 million, an increase of approximately 104 percent compared to $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2009 and an increase of 9 percent compared to the second quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP gross margin was 55 percent during the third quarter of 2010, compared to 62 percent for the same period last year and 58 percent for the second quarter of 2010.
Total operating expenses on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2010 were $4.1 million, compared with $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2009 and $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2010. The 12 percent sequential decrease in operating expenses was in large part due to a continuous and ongoing focus in managing costs. Third quarter 2010 operating expenses included $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expenses.
GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2010 was $0.4 million, or ($0.03) per share on approximately 12.0 million shares. This compares to a net loss of $1.2 million, or ($0.23) per share, on approximately 5.2 million shares for the third quarter of 2009 and a net loss of $1.4 million, or ($0.15) per share on approximately 9.4 million shares for the second quarter of 2010. The non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $0.3 million, or $0.03 per share based on 13.4 million fully diluted shares, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $0.7 million for the same period in 2009 and a non-GAAP net loss of $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2010. A reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results is provided in the financial statement tables following the text of this press release.
Adjusted EBITDA, defined as income or loss from operations net of depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense and restructuring expenses, for the third quarter of 2010 was income of $0.9 million, compared to a loss of $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2009 and income of $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2010. For a reconciliation of GAAP results to adjusted EBITDA, please see table below.
GigOptix ended the third quarter of 2010 with $4.9 million in cash and investments, compared to $0.8 million at the end of the second quarter of 2010. The sequential increase in cash and investments includes approximately $3.9 million in net proceeds from the Company’s sale of approximately 2.76 million shares, including over-allotment shares, to institutional investors in a public offering transaction that was completed in July 2010. Total expenses of this offering, including the underwriters’ discount and non-accountable expense reimbursement were approximately $0.9 million.
Business Outlook
Ron Shelton, GigOptix’ Chief Financial Officer commented, “The achievement of record revenue during the third quarter and for the first nine months of the year represents our continued execution on our business initiatives. We remain focused on growing revenues and profitability in the coming quarters. For the fourth quarter, we expect revenue to increase sequentially between 7 and 10 percent. These results will be driven by continued demand for our existing product lines, as well as increasing traction of our products for the 40G and 100G markets. Furthermore, we expect to grow non-GAAP profitability and adjusted EBITDA as we move closer towards achieving GAAP profitability.”

NOTES TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement our financial results on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP measures indicated in the tables which we believe provide a more comprehensive understanding of the various factors and trends that affect our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional and useful way to understand our business. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not intended as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:
| • | | Stock-based compensation expense. |
Stock-based compensation expense relates primarily to equity awards such as stock options and restricted stock units. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and may be dependent on market forces.
Restructuring charges primarily relate to activities taken by management to make changes to its infrastructure in an effort to reduce costs. Restructuring charges are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures as they are not considered core activities and have not historically occurred.
| • | | Acquisition-related compensation charge. |
As a result of the acquisition of Helix Semiconductor, the Company is required to pay compensation expense, which is contingent on the employment retention of certain key employees established in accordance with the terms of the acquisition.
| • | | Amortization of acquired intangible assets. |
Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of the amortization of assets acquired in the acquisition of Helix Semiconductor and ChipX and the merger with Lumera Corporation, such as customer relationships, backlog, existing technology, and patents.
In February 2009 we sold certain assets acquired in connection with the Lumera acquisition for $300,000 and recognized a gain on the entire amount and is excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures as it is not reflective of our ongoing business.
