Recent Highlights
* Announced a collaborative relationship with Intellon Corporation to accelerate the availability of home networking solutions combining coaxial cable and powerline communications. Aligning the capabilities of Entropic's MoCA and Intellon's HPAV solutions will ensure continued compatibility with tens of millions of devices already deployed by service providers and consumers throughout the world and offer customers a solid pathway to the highly anticipated MoCA 2.0 and HPAV2 standards. * Partnered with Intel Digital Home Group to demonstrate the world's first UPnP QoS 3.0 over MoCA on a set-top box platform during the CableLabs Summer Conference in Denver. Entropic and Intel's shared vision for ubiquitous connected home entertainment networking showcased how MSOs can enable and deliver on the future convergence of high-bandwidth, personal content applications without compromising the delivery of premium service offerings. * Demonstrated a MoCA enabled, high-performance, set-top box reference design in collaboration with NXP Semiconductors for the satellite, cable and IP STB markets at the International Broadcasters Convention (IBC) 2009 in Amsterdam. NXP and Entropic are enabling STB OEMs and service providers to bring complete home networked STB solutions to market faster, with lower development costs and ultra-low power consumption. * Combined Entropic's proven MoCA solution with ViXS Systems' advanced video processing technology to deliver a cutting-edge, high-performance MoCA-enabled network attached storage (NAS) reference design that enables premium content capture, storage and sharing over a MoCA home network. The MoCA enabled NAS reference design, which was demonstrated at IBC, will serve as a blueprint for top-tier consumer electronic and service provider OEMs to design a high-performance, feature-rich and cost-effective NAS for a high-quality entertainment experience. * Announced inclusion of Entropic's RF4400 ATSC Tuner in EchoStar's high-definition over-the-air (OTA) module for select HD set-top boxes. The RF4400 is an advanced silicon tuner that provides high performance in a small form factor that will enhance the customer viewing experience for over the air HD reception. * Collaborated with Sigma Designs to develop high definition, MoCA-compliant Cable TV and IPTV set-top box reference designs, powered by Entropic's EN2510 and Sigma Designs' SMP8654. These reference designs will bring highly competitive, full-featured STB solutions to OEMs and service providers globally. * Announced that Inverto's newest family of Black Unicable Multiswitches will utilize Entropic's channel stacking switch (CSS) silicon technology for the free to air market. Entropic's CSS chips are the industry-leading and de facto standard for single-cable solutions that fundamentally change and dramatically simplify direct broadcast satellite (DBS) delivery to the home. * Expanded Entropic's relationship with Cavium Networks and announced support for the ECONA family of processors. Pairing Entropic's 65 nanometer, third-generation MoCA 1.1 compliant EN2510 single-chip solution with Cavium's ECONA dual-core ARM-based processor family will enable the development and fast delivery of best-in-class home networking solutions ideally suited for fiber-to-the-home and IPTV service provider deployments. * Announced collaboration with PMC Sierra for the high-speed access market. By combining PMC's high-speed 10G EPON and Entropic's broadband access silicon solution, MSOs will have a cost effective solution to extend the reach of fiber. * Expanded the executive team with the addition of William R. Bradford as senior vice president of worldwide sales. Mr. Bradford has more than 20 years of direct sales, sales management, marketing, business development and general management experience in the semiconductor industry. Throughout his career, Mr. Bradford has excelled at building sales organizations and developing channels, alliances and OEM partnerships on a global basis. * Recognized as the fastest growing technology company in San Diego and the 5th fastest growing in North America by the Deloitte Technology Fast 500, an annual list of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in the U.S. and Canada, based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth over five years.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effects on the Statement of Operations of, among others, all forms of stock-based compensation, non-cash acquired intangibles amortization and impairment charges, and restructuring charges (benefits), and their related affects on the number of diluted shares used in calculating non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to manage the company's business, including setting operating budgets and executive compensation plans. These non-GAAP measures are also used to (i) supplement the financial results and forecasts reported to the company's board of directors, (ii) evaluate the company's operating performance, (iii) compare the company's performance to internal forecasts, and (iv) manage the company's business and benchmarking performance internally. The non-GAAP measures have been made available to stockholders consistently in the past to provide transparency on how management manages the company's operating performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP operating measures are useful to investors, when used as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating the company's ongoing operational performance.
The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
