SANTA CLARA, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 22, 2015 — MoSys (NASDAQ: MOSY), a leader in semiconductor solutions that enable fast, intelligent data access for network and communications systems, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Second Quarter and Recent Highlights

• More than doubled IC revenue sequentially as early customer production ramps begin;
• Secured a new Bandwidth Engine® design win with existing Tier One customer in a new application;
• Expanded both our customer and application base with multiple wins at the data center edge; and
• Ended the quarter with total cash and investments of $35.3 million.

Management Commentary

"Our second quarter reflected continuing progress as IC revenue more than doubled over the previous quarter and backlog increased, while we fulfilled early production orders for the initial ramping of our first Bandwidth Engine 2 programs," commented Len Perham, president and CEO of MoSys. "We expect our IC revenues to continue to increase in the coming quarters, as our broader design win base begins to cycle into production.

"Also, during the quarter, we further increased our design win count, which reflects the continued expansion of our Bandwidth Engine customer base. Additionally, the Bandwidth Engine application footprint is expanding, as demonstrated by our design wins in both the router and switch space, as well as at the edge of the data center. We are gratified by the amount of activity in our sales funnel at present. The goal to double design wins year over year remains achievable from our current vantage point."

Mr. Perham continued, "I am pleased to report that the Bandwidth Engine 3 tape out is imminent. Most importantly, we remain closely aligned with the development schedules of our NPU partner, EZchip Semiconductor, our Bandwidth Engine 3 alpha customers, and our FPGA partners. We also made further progress with the sampling of our latest LineSpeed™ 100G PHY ICs and expect to release several new products and secure additional design wins over the next few quarters. With our strong global sales efforts, robust pipeline and active collaboration with strategic partners, I believe we are well positioned for growth in the coming quarters."
