Q2 2015 earnings announcement call live on http://investor.pmcs.com at 1:30 p.m. PT

Conference call: 1 (888) 364-3108 or 1 (719) 325-2458 outside North America; passcode 8830911#

Replay available shortly after end of conference call through August 22, 2015

SUNNYVALE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 23, 2015 — PMC-Sierra, Inc. (PMC®) (Nasdaq: PMCS), the semiconductor and software solutions innovator transforming networks that connect, move and store big data, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 27, 2015.

Net revenues in the second quarter of 2015 totaled $124.8 million, a decrease of 1.6 percent, compared to $126.8 million in the second quarter of 2014, and a decrease of 6.2 percent from $133.1 million in the first quarter of 2015.

GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2015 totaled $8.6 million or $0.04 per share, compared to GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2014 of $3.5 million or $0.02 per share, and GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2015 of $4.7 million or $0.02 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2015 totaled $18.0 million or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2014 of $18.3 million or $0.09 per diluted share, and to non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2015 of $20.9 million or $0.10 per diluted share.

The Company also today initiated steps to reduce spending across the organization by approximately 14 percent. This reorganization involves a reduction in force of approximately 200 employees worldwide and other reductions that are together expected to result in approximately $40 million per year in savings. The full savings resulting from these workforce reductions will not be realized until the fourth quarter of the current year, although some impact from these measures will be noticeable in the Company’s third quarter results.

“2015 has started weaker than expected in the carrier and storage end markets,” said PMC President and Chief Executive Officer, Greg Lang. “Given the tepid growth environment, we are taking immediate action to reduce spending and accelerate our return to target model profitability.”

For a full reconciliation of each non-GAAP item used herein to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please refer to the schedule included with this release. The Company believes the additional non-GAAP measures are useful to investors for the purpose of financial analysis. Management uses the non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate its in-period operating performance before gains, losses and other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company’s core operating results. In addition, the measures are used to plan for the Company’s future periods. However, non-GAAP measures are neither stated in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures.

As a supplement to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company provides additional non-GAAP measures for cost of revenues, gross profit, gross profit percentage, research and development expense, net, selling, general and administrative expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, other income (expense), benefit from (provision for) income taxes, operating expenses, operating (loss) income, operating margin, net (loss) income, and net income per share - basic and diluted.

A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that the additional non-GAAP measures are useful to investors for the purpose of financial analysis. Management uses these measures internally to evaluate the Company's in-period operating performance before gains, losses and other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company's core operating results. In addition, the measures are used for planning and forecasting of the Company's future periods. However, non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Other companies may use different non-GAAP measures and presentation of results.
