PMC-Sierra Second Quarter Revenues Increase to $60.4 Million
7/21/2003 - PMC-Sierra(TM), Inc. (NASDAQ:PMCS - News) reported results for the second quarter of 2003. The Company's net revenues in the second quarter of 2003 were $60.4 million compared to $55.4 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $54.5 million in the same period one year ago. In the second quarter of 2003, net revenues were comprised of $59.6 million of networking revenue and $0.8 million of non-networking revenue.
Non-GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2003 was $3.9 million (non-GAAP net loss per share of $0.02) compared to non-GAAP net loss of $6.9 million (non-GAAP net loss per share of $0.04) in the prior quarter. GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2003 was $9.2 million (GAAP net loss per share of $0.05). This compares to GAAP net loss of $11.5 million in the first quarter of 2003 (GAAP net loss per share of $0.07).
Non-GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2003 excludes the following items: (i) a charge of $7.3 million related to the corporate restructuring announced by the Company in January 2003; (ii) a gain on sale of other investments of $5.5 million; (iii) a $3.5 million charge for the impairment of other investments; and (iv) $0.01 million in amortization of deferred stock compensation. For a full reconciliation of GAAP versus non-GAAP net loss for the first and second quarters of 2003 as well as the second quarter of 2002, please see the schedule on page 6 of this release.
"PMC-Sierra's revenue increased in the second quarter as activity in the service provider sector improved modestly in both Asia and North America," said Bob Bailey, chairman and chief executive officer of PMC-Sierra. "Our continued commitment to investing in next-generation metro transport, MIPS-based(TM) microprocessors, and storage systems related products has resulted in 13 new products being introduced this past quarter."
Termination of Office Lease Obligation
On July 8, 2003, PMC-Sierra announced that it completed a transaction that resulted in the elimination of its lease obligation related to the Mission Towers Two building located at Freedom Circle in Santa Clara, CA. As part of the transaction, PMC-Sierra purchased and resold the facility at a net cost of approximately $102 million to the Company. The transaction eliminates the Company's remaining rental commitments for the building of about $215 million that would have been paid through December 2011. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company recorded a restructuring charge related to excess facilities. The final settlement costs of terminating Mission Towers Two and other facility leases are expected to be slightly less than the initial estimates accrued in 2001.
New Products Announced in Second Quarter of 2003 Include the Following:
- RM9000x2GL - a highly integrated 64-bit MIPS-based dual core multiprocessor with 3 ports of 10/100/1000 Ethernet MAC, Generic Packet Interfaces (GPI), and PCI or HyperTransport(TM).
- RM7900, RM7965, RM7935 - these processors utilize PMC-Sierra's high-end RM9000 family CPU core - - the E9000 - - to optimize performance efficiencies in networking for printer and advanced consumer applications.
- QuadPHY® 10GX - a low power 4 channel bi-directional transceiver to support a broad range of system applications that require multi-gigabit serial interconnect including Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, 10GE, 10G Fibre Channel and InfiniBand 4x.
- ARROW 24xFE and ARROW 8xFE - these devices deliver 10/100 Ethernet to SONET/SDH mapping into STS-48/STM-16 payload and STS-12/STM-4 payload respectively. Fine bandwidth control is supported through low order Virtual Concatenation enabling carrier-class Ethernet services to be delivered with T1/E1 bandwidth increments.
- TUPP(TM) 9953 and WSE 40 - the TUPP 9953 implements a configurable, multi-channel, payload processor that aligns and monitors performance of SONET virtual tributaries or SDH tributary units up to OC-192/STM-64 rates. This device interfaces seamlessly with the WSE 40, a non-blocking, any-casting, multi-mode switch, to provide a complete VT/TU grooming solution.
- TSE(TM) 240 - the TSE 240 is a 96 port STS-1/AU-3 granularity cross-connect fabric with integrated MAPS and centralized transport overhead accessibility. MAPS is a major step towards completely integrating critical protection functions of the control plane into the data plane.
- QuadPHY® RT and QuadPHY® XR - the RT is a leading solution for 1.0625 and 2.125 Gbit/s Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet retimer applications. The XR is the industry's smallest and lowest power 4 channel bi-directional retimer for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel and InfiniBand 4x applications.
- S/UNI® MULTI-48 - this device implements SONET/SDH processing, ATM mapping, and Packet over SONET/SDH (POS) mapping functions at the STS-3c/STM-1 155 Mbit/s, STS-12c/STM-4 622 Mbit/s and STS-48c/STM-16 2488 Mbit/s rate.
