Net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $856 million, a 64 percent increase from $521 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, ended May 2, 2009, and a 2 percent sequential increase from $843 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, ended January 30, 2010.  

GAAP net income was $206 million, or $0.30 per share (diluted), for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with a GAAP net loss of $111 million, or $0.18 per share (diluted), for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 was $205 million, or $0.31 per share (diluted).  

Non-GAAP net income was $260 million, or $0.38 per share (diluted), for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared with non-GAAP net income of $32 million, or $0.05 per share (diluted), for the first quarter of fiscal 2010.  Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 was $266 million, or $0.40 per share (diluted).  

"The results for our first quarter are another clear demonstration that the business goals we put in place over the last year are delivering positive benefits," said Dr. Sehat Sutardja, Marvell's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "Sales due to new customer programs and of new products, especially our mobile and wireless products were a significant driver of growth in the most recent quarter.  We continue to believe the product development efficiency of our global workforce will enable us to deliver new products in a timely manner that will enable Marvell to grow in excess of the overall semiconductor industry."  

Marvell reports net income (loss), basic and diluted net income (loss) per share in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and on a non-GAAP basis as outlined below.  Reconciliations of GAAP net income (loss) to non-GAAP net income for the three months ended May 1, 2010, January 30, 2010 and May 2, 2009 appear in the financial statements below.  Non-GAAP net income, where applicable, excludes the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization and write-offs of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs and certain one-time expenses or benefits.  

GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was 59.8 percent, compared to 50.6 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, and 59.7 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.  

Non-GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was 60.6 percent, compared to 51.6 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and 60.0 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.  

Shares used to compute GAAP net income per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 were 678 million shares, compared with 619 million shares in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and 669 million shares in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.  Shares used to compute non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 were 681 million shares, compared with 637 million shares for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and 672 million shares for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.  

Cash flow from operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $256 million, up from the $145 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and down from the $281 million reported in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.  Free cash flow for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $237 million, compared to $132 million in first quarter of fiscal 2010, and down from the $253 million reported in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.  Free cash flow as presented above is defined as cash flow from operations, less capital expenditures and purchases of IP licenses.  

Conference Call

Marvell will be conducting a conference call on May 20, 2010 at 1:45 p.m. Pacific Time to discuss results for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  Interested parties may join the conference call by dialing 1-866-362-4829, pass-code 81729842.  The call will be webcast by Thomson Reuters and can be accessed at the Marvell Investor Relations website at http://investor.marvell.com/ with a replay available following the call until June 20, 2010.  

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense as well as charges related to acquisitions, restructuring, gains and other charges that are driven primarily by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to Marvell's core operating performance.  Non-GAAP earnings per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding (diluted).  For purposes of calculating non-GAAP earnings per share, the GAAP weighted average shares outstanding (diluted) is adjusted to exclude the potential benefits of compensation costs expected to be incurred in future periods, but not yet recognized in the financial statements.  The expected compensation costs are treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method and also include the dilutive/antidilutive effects of common stock options and restricted stock.  

Marvell believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Marvell's financial condition and results of operations.  While Marvell uses non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of its financial performance, Marvell does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial measures.  Consistent with this approach, Marvell believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of its financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial measures, allows for greater transparency in the review of its financial and operational performance.  For further information regarding why Marvell believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses these measures, and some of the limitations associated with the use of these measures, please refer to Marvell's Current Report on Form 8-K filed today with the SEC.  The Form 8-K is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov as well as on the Marvell website in the Investor Relations section at www.marvell.com.
