Commenting on the results for the quarter ended October 2, 2010, Ralph Quinsey, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "I am very pleased with our results this quarter and am excited about our long term opportunities. We've turned in record third quarter revenue and, not including favorable non cash tax effects, generated more non-GAAP net income in Q3 than we did in either of the preceding 2 years. Our strategy of RF integration, multi-market innovation, and growth for scale has been effective. Looking forward I expect that the RF market will remain healthy and TriQuint will benefit from a strong product roadmap built on industry leading technology platforms."

Summary Financial Results for the Quarter Ended October 2, 2010:

Revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was $237.0 million, up 37% from the third quarter of 2009 and 14% sequentially. Networks continued to enjoy a strong rebound from the lows of 2009, with revenue growing 61% compared to the third quarter of 2009. Mobile Devices showed robust growth, with revenue increasing 28% sequentially and 37% compared to the third quarter of 2009.

Net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $110.9 million, or $0.68 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter was $44.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share. The company recognized a tax benefit of $72.1 million during the third quarter primarily due to the reversal of a valuation allowance previously placed on our net deferred tax assets which are mostly net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs). This reversal is a non-cash event that indicates strengthened conviction in the company's ability to generate sufficient profits to fully utilize these NOLs. Please see the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures below and the attached supplemental schedule for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2010 was 41.3%, up from 33.8% in the third quarter of 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 42.3%, up from 35.0% in the third quarter of 2009.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2010 were $59.1 million, or 24.9% of revenue, up from $47.7 million in the third quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the quarter were $56.0 million or 23.6% of revenue.

Outlook:

The company believes fourth quarter revenue will be between $245 million and $255 million. At the midpoint, this implies revenue growth in 2010 of 33% over the prior year. Looking to 2011, the company believes continued robust growth in demand should lead to revenue growth of about 20%. For the fourth quarter of 2010, the company expects that strong growth in the mobile devices market will lead to a non-GAAP gross margin between 41% and 42%. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to grow to about $59 million, or 24% of revenue. Fourth quarter net income is expected to be between $0.26 and $0.28 per share on a non-GAAP basis. The company is 91% booked to the midpoint of revenue guidance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This press release provides financial measures for net income, diluted earnings per share, gross profit, operating expenses, and operating income that exclude equity compensation expense, non-cash tax expense, certain charges associated with acquisitions, and other specifically identified non-routine items, and are therefore not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP" ). The non-cash tax expense includes certain deferred tax charges and benefits that do not result in a tax payment or tax refund. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance that enhances management's and investors' ability to evaluate TriQuint's operating results.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be used in isolation and should not be considered a substitute for any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool, including that other companies may calculate similar non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool. The company compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amount excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. The company further compensates for the limitations of our use of non-GAAP financial measures by presenting comparable GAAP measures more prominently. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained within this press release with our GAAP net income and net income per share. For more information, see the consolidated operating statements and reconciliation of non-GAAP measurements contained in this press release.
