Exhibit 99.1 PMC-Sierra Reports Second Quarter 2006 Results SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 2006--PMC-Sierra, Inc. (Nasdaq:PMCS): -- Q2 Net Revenues: $ 118.8 million -- Q2 Non-GAAP Net Income: $ 19.4 million or $0.09 per share (fully diluted) -- Q2 GAAP Net Loss: $ (31.3) million or $(0.15) per share PMC-Sierra, Inc. (Nasdaq:PMCS), a leading provider of high-speed broadband communications and storage semiconductors, today reported results for the second quarter ending July 2, 2006. Net revenues in the second quarter of 2006 were $118.8 million, an increase of 35% compared with $87.8 million in the first quarter of 2006 and 66% higher than in the second quarter of 2005. Net revenues in the second quarter of 2006 included: (i) $8.8 million in revenue from the previously announced acquisition of Passave Inc., which closed on May 4, 2006; and (ii) a full three months of revenue from the acquisition of the Avago storage semiconductor business compared with only one month of revenue from this acquisition in the first quarter of 2006. Net income in the second quarter of 2006 on a non-GAAP basis was $19.4 million (non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.09) compared with non-GAAP net income of $16.3 million (non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.08) in the first quarter of 2006. GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2006 was $31.3 million (GAAP loss per share of $0.15) compared with GAAP net loss in the first quarter of 2006 of $14.3 million (GAAP loss per share of $0.08). Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter excludes: (i) $20.5 million charge for in-process R&D and a $9.9 million amortization of purchased intangible assets associated with the purchases of Passave and the Avago storage semiconductor business; (ii) $5.7 million in adjustments and acquisition costs included in the Cost of Revenue related to the Passave and Avago acquisitions; (iii) $9.4 million in stock-based compensation expenses; and (iv) $3.2 million to write down an investment in a private company. For a full reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP net income, please refer to the schedule on page 7 of this release. The Company believes the addition of non-GAAP measures are useful to investors for the purpose of financial analysis. Management uses the non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate its in-period operating performance before gains, losses and other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company's core operating results. In addition, the measures are used to plan for the Company's future periods. However, non-GAAP measures are neither stated in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. "In the second quarter, we successfully integrated the Avago storage semiconductor business into PMC's operations and we also closed the acquisition of Passave Inc., the leader in Fiber To The Home semiconductor solutions," said Bob Bailey, chairman and chief executive officer of PMC-Sierra. "And our Enterprise Storage business showed strength in the second quarter as the Fibre Channel transition from 2Gb/s to 4Gb/s has accelerated."

A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that the additional non- GAAP measures are useful to investors for the purpose of financial analysis. Management uses these measures internally to evaluate the Company's in-period operating performance before gains, losses and other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company's core operating results. In addition, the measures are used for planning and forecasting of the Company's future periods. However, non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Other companies may use different non-GAAP measures and presentation of results. PMC-Sierra, Inc.
