EXHIBIT 99.1 PMC-Sierra Reports First Quarter 2007 Results -- Q1 Net Revenues: $ 103.7 million -- Q1 GAAP Net Loss: $ (15.8) million or $(0.07) per share (fully diluted) -- Q1 Non-GAAP Net Income: $ 4.4 million or $0.02 per share (fully diluted) SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25, 2007--PMC-Sierra, Inc. (Nasdaq:PMCS), a leading provider of high-speed broadband communications and storage semiconductors, today reported results for the first quarter ending April 1, 2007. Net revenues in the first quarter of 2007 were $103.7 million, an increase of 2% compared with $101.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 and 18% higher than in the first quarter of 2006. The revenues in the first quarter of 2007 included revenues related to the acquisitions of both the Avago storage semiconductor business and the Passave Fiber To The Home business, compared with the first quarter of 2006 which included only one month of revenues from the Avago business and no revenue from Passave. Net loss in the first quarter of 2007 on a GAAP basis was $15.8 million (GAAP diluted loss per share of $0.07) compared with a GAAP net loss in the fourth quarter of 2006 of $42.2 million (GAAP loss per share of $0.20). Non-GAAP net income was $4.4 million (non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.02) compared with non-GAAP net income of $4.7 million (non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.02) in the fourth quarter of 2006. Non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2007 excludes the following items: (i) $6.9 million in costs and other charges related to the Company's corporate restructuring announced March 29, 2007; (ii) $9.4 million in stock-based compensation expense; (iii) $9.8 million in amortization of purchased intangible assets; (iv) $1.0 million foreign exchange gain on Canadian taxes; and (v) $4.0 million income tax recovery relating to prior years, and (vi) $2.9 million income tax effect relating to these non-GAAP adjustments. For a full reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP net income, please refer to the schedule on page 7 of this release. The Company believes the additional 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 first quarter, we experienced improved visibility in our telecom, fiber to the home, and microprocessor businesses on a sequential basis," said Bob Bailey, chairman and chief executive officer of PMC-Sierra. "We believe that the overall business environment is improving in each of the markets that we serve, and our recently announced cost reduction initiative will enable us to improve our operating performance going forward." The Company announced on March 29, 2007, that it was undertaking a corporate restructuring expected to reduce on-going annualized operating expenses by an estimated $20 to $24 million per year. The Company's decision to initiate cost reduction activities is part of its on-going effort to improve its corporate operating performance and boost productivity across the organization. The restructuring included the announced closure of two of the Company's R&D centers in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The total work force reduction under the restructuring plan is expected to be approximately 175 positions across the organization. Restructuring activities related to this plan are expected to be substantially complete by the end of the third quarter of this year. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company also announced the appointment of Michael W. Zellner as vice president and chief financial officer of PMC-Sierra. Mr. Zellner has 25 years of high tech business experience and was previously senior vice president and chief financial officer at Wind River Systems, Inc., a device software solutions provider. In this role, Mr. Zellner was responsible for all finance and administration functions. Prior to Wind River, Mr. Zellner was senior director of finance at Applied Materials. The Company made the following product announcements in Q1 2007: -- 6Gbit/s SAS/SATA controller: we announced the PM8000 Tachyon(R) SPC 8x6G, which enables the first generation of SAS 2.0 enterprise-class tiered storage architectures. This 6Gbit/s SAS/SATA controller is the industry's first SAS 2.0 compliant device enabling storage OEMs to provide true enterprise-class SAS/SATA disk-array systems. The device leverages PMC-Sierra's market-leading Tachyon protocol controller technology, preserving storage OEMs' software and hardware investments. The Tachyon SPC 8x6G, together with PMC-Sierra's maxSAS(TM) expander switches and active-active multiplexers, provides a comprehensive end-to-end enterprise-class chip set solution. -- GPON ONT Solution: we announced the availability of the PAS65311 GPON ONT reference design featuring PMC's GigaPASS(TM) architecture.

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.
