Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables contain the following non-GAAP financial measures: net income and net income per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effects on the Statement of Operations of all forms of stock-based compensation, transaction and integration costs related to the Trident Microsystems, PLX Technology and Mobius Semiconductor transactions, amortization of intangible assets, the loss related to equity method investment, the impairment of investment, the impact of fair value adjustments related to contingent consideration payable in the acquisition of PLX Technology assets, deferred tax asset valuation allowance, the cash tax difference and the restructuring charge.

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.

(1) The Company's non-GAAP net (loss) income per share is calculated using the cash tax rate of (9)%, (4)%, and 13% for the three month periods ended December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company's non-GAAP net (loss) income per share is calculated using the cash tax rate of (11)% and 18% for the years ended December 31,2013 and 2012, respectively. The estimated cash tax rate is the estimated tax payable on the Company's projected tax returns as a percentage of estimated annual non-GAAP pre-tax net income. The Company uses an estimated cash tax rate to adjust for the historical variation in the effective book tax rate associated with the valuation allowances, the utilization of research and development tax credits, and the utilization of loss carryforwards which have had an overall effect of reducing taxes payable. The Company believes that the cash tax rate provides a more transparent view of its operating results. The Company's effective tax rate used for the purposes of calculating GAAP net (loss) income for the three month periods ended December 31, September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012 was approximately 10%, 7%, and (NM), respectively. The Company's effective tax rate used for the purposes of calculating GAAP net (loss) income for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately (45)% and 48%, respectively.
                   
(2) In June, 2013, we incurred a restructuring charge of $1.8 million pursuant to a plan to rebalance our operations in an attempt to leverage synergies from our acquisitions and refine our business operations. This plan resulted in a reduction of our personnel by 66 employees, or approximately 10% of our workforce. In November, 2012, we incurred a restructuring charge of $0.9 million pursuant to a plan to rebalance our operations in an attempt to leverage synergies from our acquisitions. This plan resulted in a reduction of our personnel by 40 employees or approximately 6% of our workforce.
