PR Newswire

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was $657 million, which exceeded the midpoint of the Company's guidance provided on May 30, 2019.

GAAP net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was $(57) million, or $(0.09) per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was $110 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. Cash flow from operations for the second quarter was $73 million.

"Marvell delivered solid second quarter results with revenue above the mid-point of our guidance and we fully achieved the operating expense reductions we had outlined last year, two quarters ahead of schedule," said Matt Murphy, Marvell's President and CEO. "In our third quarter, we face a worsening macro environment along with the ongoing impact from the current restrictions on shipments to Huawei, offset by a stabilizing storage business and the earlier than expected first production shipments of our 5G solutions."

Marvell's third quarter guidance takes into account the U.S. Government's export restriction on Huawei.

Third Quarter of Fiscal 2020 Financial Outlook

  • Revenue is expected to be $660 million +/- 3%.
  • GAAP gross margin is expected to be 53.5% to 54.5%.
  • Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be 63% to 64%.
  • GAAP operating expenses are expected to be $380 million to $390 million.
  • Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be $280 million +/- $2.5 million.
  • GAAP diluted loss per share is expected to be $(0.09) to $(0.05) per share.
  • Non-GAAP diluted income per share is expected to be $0.15 to $0.19 per share.

Conference Call

Marvell will conduct a conference call on Thursday, August 29, 2019 at 1:45 p.m. Pacific Time to discuss results for the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Interested parties may join the conference call by dialing 1-844-647-5488 or 1-615-247-0258, pass-code 1183687. The call will be webcast and can be accessed at the Marvell Investor Relations website at http://investor.marvell.com/ with a replay available following the call until Thursday, September 5, 2019.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of share-based compensation expense, amortization of the inventory fair value step up, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition and divestiture-related costs, restructuring and other related charges, litigation settlement, and certain expenses and benefits that are driven primarily by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to Marvell's core business.

Marvell uses a non-GAAP tax rate to compute the non-GAAP tax provision. This non-GAAP tax rate is based on Marvell's estimated annual GAAP income tax forecast, adjusted to account for items excluded from GAAP income in calculating Marvell's non-GAAP income, as well as the effects of significant non-recurring and period specific tax items which vary in size and frequency. Marvell's non-GAAP tax rate is determined on an annual basis and may be adjusted during the year to take into account events that may materially affect the non-GAAP tax rate such as tax law changes; significant changes in Marvell's geographic mix of revenue and expenses; or changes to Marvell's corporate structure. For the second quarter of fiscal 2020, a non-GAAP tax rate of 4.5% has been applied to the non-GAAP financial results.

Marvell believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Marvell's financial condition and results of operations. While Marvell uses non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of its financial performance, Marvell does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Consistent with this approach, Marvell believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of its financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial measures, allows for greater transparency in the review of its financial and operational performance.

Externally, management believes that investors may find Marvell's non-GAAP financial measures useful in their assessment of Marvell's operating performance and the valuation of Marvell. Internally, Marvell's non-GAAP financial measures are used in the following areas:

  • Management's evaluation of Marvell's operating performance;
  • Management's establishment of internal operating budgets;
  • Management's performance comparisons with internal forecasts and targeted business models; and
  • Management's determination of the achievement and measurement of certain performance-based equity awards (adjustments may vary from award to award).

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of Marvell's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Marvell's results as reported under GAAP. Marvell expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from Marvell's non-GAAP net income should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.
