Inphi Corporation (NYSE:IPHI), a leader in high-speed data movement interconnects, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

GAAP Results

Revenue in the second quarter of 2018 was $69.8 million on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, down 17% year-over-year, compared with $84.4 million in the second quarter of 2017.  The year over year decrease was due to lower demand for long haul and metro as well as Cortina legacy products. However, the long haul and metro product revenue grew substantially from the levels in the first quarter of 2018, resulting in a 16% sequential corporate revenue growth.

Gross margin under GAAP in the second quarter of 2018 and 2017 was 56.7%.

GAAP loss from operations in the second quarter of 2018 was $21.9 million or (31.4%) of revenue from operations, compared to GAAP loss from operations in the second quarter of 2017 of $7.9 million or (9.4%) of revenue.

GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2018 was $28.5 million, or ($0.65) per diluted common share, compared with GAAP net loss of $15.0 million, or ($0.36) per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2017.

Inphi reports revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, net income (loss), and earnings per share in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, net income, earnings per share, as well as a description of the items excluded from the non-GAAP calculations, is included in the financial statements portion of this press release.

Non-GAAP Results

Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2018 was 68.4%, compared to 70.3% in the second quarter of 2017.  The decrease was largely due to change in product mix.

Non-GAAP income from operations in the second quarter of 2018 was $7.1 million, or 10.1% of revenue, compared with $17.6 million, or 20.8% of revenue in the second quarter of 2017. However, non-GAAP income from operations did see substantial growth from the first quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of 2018 from negative 3.5% to a positive 10.1%.

Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2018 was $6.6 million, or $0.15 per diluted common share. This compares with non-GAAP net income of $15.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2017.

“Our 16% sequential increase in revenue in Q2 demonstrates the recovery of our core long haul and metro business,” said Ford Tamer, President and CEO of Inphi.  “In addition, going from a non-GAAP net operating loss in Q1, to over 10% operating profit in Q2 shows our success in managing operating expenses to be in line with revenue growth and the market environment.  We remain positive on our business outlook as we continue to introduce new products and grow our “inside data center” revenue as well as re-engaging with ZTE.”   

First Half 2018 ResultsRevenue in the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $129.9 million, compared with $178.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017. GAAP net loss in the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $51.5 million, or ($1.19) per diluted share, on approximately 43.3 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. This compares with GAAP net loss of $26.2 million, or ($0.63) per diluted share, on approximately 41.9 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding in the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Non-GAAP net income in the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $4.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted weighted average common share outstanding, on approximately 44.6 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. This compares with non-GAAP net income of $35.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017, or $0.79 per diluted weighted average common share outstanding, on approximately 44.5 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

Business OutlookThe following statements are based on the Company’s current expectations for the third quarter of 2018. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. A reconciliation between the GAAP and Non-GAAP outlook is included at the end of this press release.

  • Revenue in Q3 2018 is expected to be in a range of $75.5 million to $79.5 million.  The midpoint being $77.5 million including approximately $0.5M forecasted for ZTE.   
  • GAAP gross margin is expected to be approximately 60.1% to 61.3%.
  • Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be approximately 70.2% to 71.0%.
  • Stock-based compensation expense is expected to be in the range of $17.2 million to $17.4 million.
  • GAAP results are expected to be a net loss in a range between a net loss of $19.5 million to $20.3 million, or ($0.44) – ($0.46) per basic share, based on 43.95 million estimated weighted average basic shares outstanding.
  • Non-GAAP net income, excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles and inventory step up fair value related to acquisitions and noncash interest on convertible debt, is expected to be in the range of $12.83 million to $13.83 million, or $0.28-$0.30 per diluted share, based on 45.35 million estimated diluted shares outstanding.

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking StatementsStatements in the press release and certain matters to be discussed on the second quarter of 2018 conference call regarding Inphi Corporation, which are not historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as outlook, believe, expect, may, will, provide, continue, could, and should, and the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These statements include statements relating to: the Company’s business outlook and current expectations for 2018, including with respect to the third quarter of 2018, revenue, gross margin, stock-based compensation expense, operating performance, net income or loss, and earnings per share; the Company’s expectations regarding growth opportunities, increasing demand in Q3, growth inside data centers, slow demand in the metro and long haul markets and benefits of using non-GAAP financial measures.  These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties.

INPHI CORPORATIONRECONCILATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES(in thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts)

To supplement the financial data presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude stock-based compensation, legal, transition costs and other expenses, purchase price fair value adjustments related to acquisitions, impairment of certain intangibles, non-cash interest expense related to convertible debt, unrealized gain or loss on equity investments, loss on claim settlement and deferred tax asset valuation allowance.  These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP. These results should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The Company believes that its non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because it excludes charges or benefits that management considers to be outside of the Company’s core operating results.  The Company believes that the non-GAAP measures of gross margin, income from operations, net income and earnings per share, in combination with the Company’s financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide investors with additional perspective and a more meaningful understanding of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. In addition, the Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to review and assess the financial performance of the Company, to determine executive officer incentive compensation and to plan and forecast performance in future periods.  The Company’s non-GAAP measurements are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, and are not an alternative to GAAP financial information, and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies.
