Commenting on the results of the second quarter,
"In the second quarter, revenue from New Growth Products increased by approximately 30% sequentially as a result of stronger than expected sales of SSD+embedded controllers, in particular, sales of our eMMC controllers. Strong sales of smartphones and tablets, both global flagships and low-cost models, in both global markets and in
While our SSD+embedded sales exceeded expectations, limited flash availability affected the sales of our card and USB flash drive controllers, especially to module maker customers. Our LTE transceiver business also declined in the second quarter as we are transitioning to next-generation LTE-Advanced transceivers for

Business Outlook:
"The continuing growth of our SSD+embedded controllers and the transition away from our card and USB flash drive controllers is improving our long-term prospects. The markets for our SSD+embedded products are growing rapidly and we are expanding our product portfolio and customer base to address these market opportunities. We expect sales of our SSD+embedded products to continue growing in the third quarter, offsetting weakness caused by ongoing flash tightness and more limited consumer demand for cards and USB flash drives."
For the third quarter of 2013, management expects:
- Revenue to decrease 2.5% to increase 2.5% sequentially
- Revenue (excluding LTE transceiver revenue) to increase 2% to 7% sequentially
- Gross margin (non-GAAP) to be in the 47% to 49% range
- Operating expenses (non-GAAP) of approximately
US$17.5 to US$19.5 million
For the full year 2013, management expects:
- Revenue (excluding LTE transceiver revenue) to decrease 5% to 10% compared with full year 2012 (excluding LTE transceiver revenue)
- Gross margin (non-GAAP) to be in the 46% to 48% range
- Operating expenses (non-GAAP) of approximately
US$70 to US$73 million

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's unaudited selected financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges and other items, including non-GAAP cost of sales, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted ADS. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We compensate for the limitations of our non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.
Our non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors as these non-GAAP results exclude certain expenses, gains and losses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results and because it is consistent with the financial models and estimates published by many analysts who follow the Company. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with our forecasts, and for benchmarking our performance externally against our competitors. Also, when evaluating potential acquisitions, we exclude the items described below from our consideration of the target's performance and valuation. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing the results from management's perspective in addition to seeing our GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:
– the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company's on-going operating results;
– the ability to better identify trends in the Company's underlying business and perform related trend analysis;
– a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company's underlying business; and
– an easier way to compare the Company's operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of our competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.
The following are explanations of each of the adjustments that we incorporate into our non-GAAP measures, as well as the reasons for excluding each of these individual items in our reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures:
Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges related to the fair value of stock options and restricted stock units awarded to employees. The Company believes that the exclusion of these non-cash charges provides for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to our peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact of share-based compensation on its operating results.
Foreign exchange gains and losses prior to
Other non-recurring items:
– Litigation expenses consist of legal expenses relating to intellectual property disputes, commercial claims and other types of litigation. While litigation may arise in the ordinary course of our business, we nevertheless consider litigation to be an unusual, non-recurring and unplanned activity and therefore exclude this charge when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.
– Vendor dispute charges relate to the write down of certain unsalable inventory due to defects in the components provided by our vendor. These parts were supplied to us at a quality below levels previously specified and agreed. All parts known to be defective have been identified and are within our control. We have resolved this matter with our vendor and recovered in 1Q 2013 the full value of the inventory being written off. This charge (as well as the amount recovered) has been excluded from our non-GAAP results as we believe this is an unusual, non-recurring and unplanned activity.
