Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company's non-GAAP measures exclude charges related to stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment charges, gain upon closing sale-leaseback of our corporate headquarters, gain on sale of long-term investments, restructuring charges and exit costs which include costs for personnel whose positions have been eliminated as part of a restructuring or are in the process of being eliminated as part of the discontinuation of a product line, severance costs associated with the former CEO, the financial results of the iML Display business as well as the gain recognized from the sale of the iML business, accruals for and proceeds received from dispute resolutions and patent litigation, merger and acquisition and related integration costs, certain income tax benefits and credits, and related income tax effects on certain excluded items. The Company excludes these items primarily because they are significant special expense and gain estimates, which management separates for consideration when evaluating and managing business operations. The Company's management uses non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share to evaluate its current operating results and financial results and to compare them against historical financial results.  Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating the Company and provide further clarity on its profitability.

Unless otherwise indicated, all non-GAAP financial results exclude the financial results of the iML Display business, which the Company has divested, and are presented in the GAAP results as discontinued operations.

In addition, the Company believes that providing investors with these non-GAAP measurements enhances their ability to compare the Company's business against that of its competitors who employ and disclose similar non-GAAP measures.  However, the manner in which we calculate these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by the Company's competitors to the extent their non-GAAP measures include or exclude other items.  The material limitation associated with the use of the non-GAAP financial measures is that the non-GAAP measures may not reflect the full economic impact of Exar's activities.  Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on non-GAAP information.  The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for net income or net income per diluted share or other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Investors should refer to the reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results to GAAP Results, which is contained in this press release.
