ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--QLogic Corp. (Nasdaq:QLGC), a leading supplier of high performance network infrastructure solutions, today announced preliminary results for its third quarter ended December 30, 2012.
QLogic expects to report net revenue of approximately $119 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The expected net revenue exceeds the high end of the previously forecasted third quarter net revenue range of $112 million to $118 million. The preliminary results were driven by higher than expected revenue from Host Products and particularly strong performance from Network Products.
The Company anticipates reporting GAAP income from continuing operations per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 in the range of $0.14 to $0.15. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company expects to report income from continuing operations per diluted share in the range of $0.19 to $0.20, above the previously forecasted range of $0.14 to $0.19 per diluted share. The non-GAAP income from continuing operations per diluted share amount excludes stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and the related income tax effects.
The Company will announce its third quarter financial results for fiscal year 2013 after the close of the market on Thursday, January 24, 2013. Following the January 24, 2013, press release, QLogic will conduct a conference call at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measure contained herein is a supplement to the corresponding financial measure prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measure presented excludes the items summarized in the above table. Management believes that adjustments for these items assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results and that these items are not indicative of the company’s on-going core operating performance.
The company has presented non-GAAP income from continuing operations per diluted share, on a basis consistent with its historical presentation, to assist investors in understanding the company’s core income from continuing operations per diluted share on an on-going basis. This non-GAAP financial measure may also assist investors in making comparisons of the company’s core net profitability with historical periods and comparisons of the company’s core net profitability with the corresponding results for competitors. Management believes that non-GAAP income from continuing operations per diluted share is an important measure in the evaluation of the company’s profitability. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes the adjustments described in the above table, and thus provides an overall measure of the company’s on-going net profitability on a diluted per share basis.
Management uses non-GAAP income from continuing operations per diluted share in its evaluation of the company’s core after-tax results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that this measure is an important component of its internal performance measurement process. In addition, the company prepares and maintains its budgets and forecasts for future periods on a basis consistent with this non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that providing this non-GAAP financial measure allows investors to view the company’s financial results in the way that management views the financial results.
The non-GAAP financial measure presented herein has certain limitations in that it does not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of the company’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider this non-GAAP financial measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure presented by the company may be different from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
For additional information on the items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure presented and why the company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information to investors, the company refers you to the Form 8-K regarding this release filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
