IDT Reports Q2 Fiscal Year 2014 Financial Results

Q2 Revenue of $124.6 Million, up 6 Percent Q/Q
Q2 GAAP EPS of $0.54; Q2 Non-GAAP EPS of $0.10
Record Revenue from RapidIO® Solutions Serving Wireless Infrastructure

Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT^® or the Company) (IDTI), the Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal semiconductor solutions, today announced results for the fiscal second quarter ended September 29, 2013.

“We leveraged significant improvements in our operating model to deliver better than expected profitability on sequential sales growth across each of our communications, computing and consumer end markets,” said Jeff McCreary, IDT interim president and chief executive officer.

“Revenue from RapidIO switching solutions was up double digits quarter-on-quarter, as the worldwide 4G/LTE infrastructure build-out continued. In addition, we experienced strength in sales of serial switching products for server applications and also in our standard products for the communications end market.”

“In Q2, we were pleased to demonstrate significant improvement in our operating model. We continued to expand gross margins on better product mix, while simultaneously reducing operating expenses and creating greater profit leverage for our revenue moving forward. Additionally, our board recently increased our share repurchase authorization to $150 million from the $80 million remaining on our prior authorization. We plan to resume share repurchase activity during fiscal Q3 given our increased confidence in the business. I’m excited about the progress we’ve made so far and I believe we can continue to improve operating margins and drive additional shareholder value as we execute on our business plan.”

The following highlights the Company’s financial performance on both a GAAP and supplemental non-GAAP basis. The Company provides supplemental information regarding its operating performance on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain gains, losses and charges which occur relatively infrequently and which management considers to be outside our core operating results. Non-GAAP results are not in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to non-GAAP information provided by other companies. Non-GAAP information should be considered a supplement to, and not a substitute for, financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Reporting

To supplement its consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, IDT uses non-GAAP financial measures which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to exclude certain items, as described in detail below. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional and useful way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed in conjunction with IDT’s GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the various factors and trends affecting the Company’s business and operations. It should also be noted that IDT's non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures used by IDT include:

• Cost of revenues;

• Gross profit;

• Research and development expenses;

• Selling, general and administrative expenses;

• Interest income and other;

• Provision (benefit) for income taxes, continuing operations

• Operating income (loss);

• Net income (loss) from continuing operations;

• Diluted net income (loss) per share, continuing operations; and

• Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted

The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures because the investor community uses non-GAAP results in its analysis and comparison of historical results and projections of the Company's future operating results. These non-GAAP results exclude acquisition related expense, restructuring and divestiture related costs (gain), share-based compensation expense, results from discontinued operations, stockholder expenses and certain other expenses and benefits. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to manage and assess the profitability of the business. These non-GAAP results are also consistent with the way management internally analyzes IDT's financial results.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures supplement, and should be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Investors should review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the accompanying press release.

As presented in the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP” tables in the accompanying press release, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items:

Acquisition related. Acquisition-related charges are not factored into management’s evaluation of potential acquisitions or IDT’s performance after completion of acquisitions, because they are not related to the Company’s core operating performance. Adjustments of these items provide investors with a basis to compare IDT’s performance to other companies without the variability caused by purchase accounting. Acquisition-related expenses primarily include:

• Amortization of acquisition related intangibles, which include acquired intangibles such as purchased technology, patents, customer relationships, trademarks, backlog and non-compete agreements.
• Acquisition related costs such as legal, accounting and other professional or consulting fees directly related to an acquisition.
• Other acquisition related costs which consists of an accrued deferred closing date fee associated with the acquisition of NXP’s high-speed data converter assets.
• Fair market value adjustment to acquired inventory sold.

Restructuring related. Restructuring charges primarily relate to changes in IDT’s infrastructure in efforts to reduce costs and expenses (gains) associated with strategic divestitures and restructuring in force actions. Restructuring charges (gains) are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not considered core operating activities. Although IDT has engaged in various restructuring activities in the past, each has been a discrete event based on a unique set of business objectives. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude restructuring charges (gains) from IDT’s non-GAAP financial measures as it enhances the ability of investors to compare the Company’s period-over-period operating results from continuing operations. Restructuring-related charges (gains) primarily include:

• Severance and retention costs directly related to a restructuring action.
• Facility closure costs consist of ongoing costs associated with the exit of our leased and owned facilities.
• Gain on divestiture consists of gains recognized upon the strategic sale of business units.
• Assets impairments, consists of an impairment charge related to a note receivable and subsequent recoveries.
• Asset impairments, consists of the accelerated depreciation of certain design tools no longer in use.

Other adjustments. These items are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not related to the core operating activities and on-going future operating performance of IDT. Excluding this data allows investors to better compare IDT’s period-over-period performance without such expense, which IDT believes may be useful to the investor community. Other adjustments primarily include:

• Stock based compensation expense.
• Expenses related to stockholder activities reflect advisory fees related to inquiries of Starboard Value LP.
• Compensation expense (benefit) – deferred compensation, consists of gains and losses on marketable equity securities related to our deferred compensation arrangements.
• Loss (gain) on deferred compensation plan securities represents the changes in the fair value of the assets in a separate trust that is invested in corporate owned life insurance under our deferred compensation plan.
• Life insurance proceeds received, represents proceeds received under corporate owned life insurance under our deferred compensation plan.
• Tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments.
• Diluted weighted average shares non-GAAP adjustment, for purposes of calculating non-GAAP diluted net income per share, the GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding is adjusted to exclude the benefits of stock compensation expense attributable to future services not yet recognized in the financial statements that are treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury method.
