PLX Technology, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results
Records in PCI Express Revenue, New Design Wins Reported
(firmenpresse) - SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/30/12 -- PLX Technology, Inc. (PLX) (NASDAQ: PLXT), a leading global supplier of high-speed connectivity solutions enabling emerging data center architectures, today announced second quarter revenues of $26.1 million and a GAAP net loss of $18.2 million, or $0.41 per share (diluted).
"Our PCI Express products continued to thrive during the second quarter by delivering record numbers in both revenue and new design win commitments. Besides our traditional applications, we remain optimistic in our PCI Express product penetration in traditional Ethernet and InfiniBand based applications," said Ralph Schmitt, PLX® president and CEO. "We also had very strong bookings in the quarter and expect to continue to see growth in the coming quarters due to the rapid adoption of our Gen3 products."
The above non-GAAP financial information (other than net revenues, which are presented on a GAAP basis) excludes share-based compensation, acquisition, restructuring and impairment charges, and amortization of acquired intangibles. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" below.
"The net loss reflects the impairment of certain intangible assets associated with PLX's Ethernet business," said Art Whipple, chief financial officer, PLX. "IDT's stated intention during the second quarter of divesting our Ethernet business and the resulting impact to the business environment during the quarter required an assessment of the carrying value of certain intangible assets. We have taken a non-cash charge of $10.3 million against these assets."
PLX and One Stop Systems, Inc. (OSS) announced a collaboration to deliver the world's first industrial-grade high-performance computing systems and PCIe-over-cable products based on the PCIe Gen3 standard. The alliance pairs PLX PCIe Gen3 switches with OSS's premium design architectures, ideal for telecom, data centers and industrial markets. OSS is a pioneer in PCIe development since the standard's inception and again leads the industry with these new PLX-enabled Gen3 designs.
PLX's TeraPHY® 10GBase-T transceivers were recognized as "Best of Interop" finalists at the perennial favorite INTEROP Las Vegas event, the foremost industry trade show tailored for highlighting cutting-edge networking solutions. The committee selected the PLX PHY based on its significant technical impact and potential of advancing the business technology market.
Tehuti Networks, a fabless semiconductor company focused on mass adoption of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and PLX announced a collaboration to deliver a superior network interface card (NIC) reference design platform utilizing 10GBase-T connectivity to enable bandwidth-intensive desktop workstation applications and low- to mid-range network appliances. This combination creates a new gateway to cost-conscious consumer applications, as well as to intensive data environments.
