Exhibit 99.1
Virage Logic Reports Second-Quarter
Fiscal 2006 Results; Revenues up 11% and Royalties up 46%
Sequentially; GAAP EPS of $0.01, Including $0.05 Per Share of
After-Tax Stock-Based Compensation Expense
FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2006--Virage Logic
Corporation (Nasdaq:VIRL), a pioneer in Silicon Aware IP(TM) and
leading provider of semiconductor intellectual property (IP)
platforms, today reported its financial results for the second fiscal
quarter ended March 31, 2006.
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 were $15.2 million,
compared with $12.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and
$13.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2006. License revenue
for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $10.4 million, compared with
$10.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and $10.4 million
for the previous quarter. Royalties for the second quarter of fiscal
2006 were $4.8 million, up 81 percent from $2.7 million for the second
quarter of fiscal 2005 and up 46 percent from $3.3 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 2006.
As reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $176,000,
or $0.01 per share, compared with a net loss of $(988,000), or $(0.04)
per share for the same period a year ago and with a net loss of
$(242,000) or $(0.01) per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 included $1.9
million of stock-based compensation expense per the adoption of
FAS123R. Excluding the effects of FAS123R, the company would have
reported net income of $1.3 million, or $0.06 per share. The exclusion
of FAS123R from our net income represents a non-GAAP measure provided
by the company to allow comparability to prior fiscal periods.
"Our historical emphasis on developing semiconductor intellectual
property for advanced process nodes allowed us to post strong,
profitable royalty growth, moving us to the next level in royalty
revenues as designs based on these nodes continued to ramp in volume,"
said Adam Kablanian, CEO and President. "Our future success demands
the efficient development of performance optimized semiconductor IP at
the advanced process nodes. During the quarter, we have taken first
steps toward the expansion of our engineering development capacity and
the build out of scalable infrastructure around our business processes
to further improve our ability to drive leadership at the advanced
process nodes of 90-nanometer and below."
Virage Logic also announced today its business outlook for the
third quarter of fiscal 2006 ending June 30, 2006. The company
currently anticipates total revenues of approximately $15.2 million to
$15.7 million, including royalties of approximately $4.3 million to
$4.6 million. The company expects to report GAAP net income of
approximately $0.00 to $0.01 per share. The company also expects $1.8
million of stock-based compensation expense per FAS123R. Without the
impact of stock-based compensation expense, the company would expect
earnings per diluted share of $0.06 to $0.07 for the third fiscal
quarter. Although this news release will be available on the company's
website, the company disclaims any duty or intention to update these
or any other forward-looking statements.

second-quarter 2006 results at 1:30 p.m. PT / 4:30 p.m. ET today. A
live webcast of management's teleconference regarding second-quarter
