Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal Year 2016 Summary
Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 were $616 million, down approximately 9 percent from $675 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, ended October 31, 2015, and down approximately 28 percent from $857 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, ended January 31, 2015.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, storage revenue increased 12 percent sequentially, reflecting improved demand from HDD customers but was partially offset by slightly lower SSD controller sales. Networking revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 grew 8 percent sequentially due to broad-based demand improvement across most of our product areas. Mobile and wireless revenue decreased 34 percent sequentially, mainly driven by the previously anticipated declines in revenue resulting from Marvell's exit of the mobile handset business. The Company anticipates mobile handset platform-related revenue to decline through fiscal year 2017 due to the restructuring actions announced on September 24, 2015.
For the fiscal year end January 30, 2016, revenue was $2.7 billion, a decrease of 26 percent from $3.7 billion for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015. For the fiscal year 2016, storage revenues declined 31 percent from fiscal year 2015 mainly due to soft PC demand compounded by lower SSD controller shipments. Networking revenue in fiscal 2016 declined 18 percent due to weak enterprise switching/routing demand. Mobile and wireless revenue in fiscal 2016 declined 27 percent mainly due to lower mobile handset platform-related revenue resulting from Marvell's exit of the mobile handset business.
GAAP net earnings for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 was $4 million, or $0.01 per share (diluted) compared with a GAAP net loss of ($58) million, or ($0.11) loss per share (diluted), for the third quarter of fiscal 2016, and GAAP net income of $82 million, or $0.16 per share (diluted), for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
