SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inphi Corporation IPHI, a leader in high-speed data movement interconnects, today announced an update to its Q2 Outlook based on the Company's understanding of the Executive Order issued to the United States Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) to add Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd and its affiliates to the Bureau's Entity List. The company continues to study the order and the pertinent regulations and as the situation evolves or circumstances change, the Company may make further revisions to its estimates.

The following represents the original Q2 business outlook which was published on April 30, 2019 and a revised current Business Outlook shown below based on current business prospects and our view that Revenues in Q2 2019 will be down approximately 5% compared to what they would have been absent the issuance of the Executive Order pertaining to Huawei. 

The Company does not currently plan to hold a conference call on this revision, but will instead address questions at the Q2 earnings call to be announced in July.

INPHI CORPORATION
RECONCILIATION 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, non-cash interest expense related to convertible debt, unrealized gain or loss on equity investments 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.
