“We proudly delivered another quarter of record revenue and enhanced profitability, proving again the strategy we have in place to drive greater scale in our business and increasing profits by focusing our business on cloud connectivity through networking and broadcasting applications, is succeeding,” said Dr. Avi Katz, Founder, Chairman and CEO of GigPeak, Inc. “Our revenue growth continues to be driven by the global demand for more bandwidth and enhanced efficiency of the communication pipes, due to the ever-increasing distribution of video and digital media content across the cloud. GigPeak’s products address the market that transforms the fabric of our society. We support the exploding global data traffic driven by the new mega-trends. This includes mobile and broadband applications, which are projected to grow to 9 billion mobile subscriptions, 7.7 billion broadband subscribers, and 6.3 billion smartphone subscriptions by 2021. It also reflects teen’s increasing their smartphone/video viewing at home by 85 percent over the last 5 year period, and in the data centers, 6 million servers are installed every year to handle more than 200 million emails per minute worldwide and hundreds of petabytes of video per month. Connectivity that provides enough bandwidth, with high-speed and high-quality video compression to enable the highest possible information density streaming, is absolutely a key for today and tomorrow’s socially connected world, and this has become the focus of GigPeak’s business and will remain so for the years to come.

“Committed to our mission, in Q3, we had the highest number of shipments ever for our ICs for data center connectivity applications. Supporting the ever-growing 40Gbps global hyper-scale data center infrastructure, our industry leading drivers and TIAs addressing the Active Optical Cables (AOCs) and transceiver applications, continue to be in even higher demand. 40Gbps remains the primary driver powering the global data center interconnect environment and this platform is expected to last through 2018 and beyond. As we see the increased sales volume for our 40Gbps ICs, and the start of the sales of 100Gbps NRZ datacom ICs mainly for on-board optical connectivity, SFP+ and QSFP+ modules, we will continue to invest in the development and efforts to increase our capacity to meet this strong demand. Trailblazing the technology path to support market trends, we announced at ECOC 2016 the introduction of the VCSEL and DML drivers, and TIA ICs for PAM4 SR and LR Ethernet applications. Customers around the globe are interested in our PAM4 solution, as some of them contemplate potentially switching directly from 40Gbps into 200Gbps, or even 400Gbps, as the next future platform. With our complete data center connectivity product family, GigPeak believes that it is the only IC supplier offering an entire range of 40Gbps and 100Gbps NRZ, as well as 200Gbps PAM4 ICs to support both current and the future data center infrastructure requirements.

“In collaboration with our customers, and to further strengthen our position in the growing telecom metro market, we recently introduced a low power consumption and cost efficient dual channel 32Gbps linear coherent TIA. Our product is now being sampled by key optical module suppliers for 100Gbps coherent metro applications. We believe that this solution provides advantages to our customers and could be disruptive to the current solutions in the market,” said Dr. Katz. “Also, our new line of broadcasting compression SoC and software-stack solutions continue to exhibit strong demand from key lighthouse broadcasting customers. Not only does our broadcast product portfolio drive solid revenue and profitability with meaningful growth potential, but it provides a natural complimentary product line to our well established networking portfolio offering.”

Financial Outlook

“We see no letup in demand and believe Q4 FY16 will be another quarter of record revenue, with the growth coming from our higher margin products. Our current outlook is for revenue to be in the range of approximately $16.0 million to $16.2 million, which would represent an increase of approximately 45 percent from Q4 FY15, while likely maintaining the same high level of profitability. Using the midpoint of this revenue guidance range, our fiscal 2016 revenue will be approximately $59 million, up approximately 45 percent from fiscal 2015,” said Dr. Katz.

1 Non-GAAP Measures - GigPeak reports gross margin, operating expense, operating income and net income (loss) on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP basis. In addition, GigPeak reports Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings before interest, taxes, other expense (income), net, depreciation and amortization, including amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation, acquisition and strategic activities related costs and loss on equity method investment. Adjusted EBITDA differs from net earnings, as calculated in accordance with GAAP, in that it excludes the foregoing items. We have made numerous investments in our business, such as acquisitions and capital expenditures, which we believe we have adjusted for in Adjusted EBITDA, and we have used equity as a compensatory method that is also excluded. Adjusted EBITDA also does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements and thus does not reflect funds available for reinvestments or other discretionary uses. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and the other non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of the ongoing operations of GigPeak’s business and provide an additional metric for comparability between reporting periods and provide an additional baseline for analyzing trends in GigPeak’s operations because these financial measures provide a view of our operations that excludes items that management believes are not reflective of the operating performance, such as items traditionally removed from net earnings in the calculation of EBITDA as well as other expense (income), net. As a result, these non-GAAP measures are provided to supplement investors’ overall understanding of, and an enhanced level of transparency into, GigPeak’s financial performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used in determining compliance with covenants in our term loan and revolving line agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is not presented as an alternative measure of operating performance, as determined in accordance with GAAP; nor should it be considered a substitute for, or superior to the comparable GAAP measures. Rather, these measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP. No other adjustments were made during the three-month and nine-month fiscal periods ended September 25, 2016, and September 27, 2015. A reconciliation of these GAAP to non-GAAP measurements and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015, can be found in the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information” table attached to this press release.
