Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements based on MACOM management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include, among others, information concerning our stated business outlook and future results of operations, our expectations for execution on our three growth drivers in fiscal year 2016, on our GaN vision and qualification, and on program wins with Tier-1 customers addressing mainstream LTE deployments and any other statements regarding future trends, business strategies, competitive position, industry conditions, acquisitions and market opportunities. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and generally may be identified by terms such as "anticipates," "believes," "could," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "may," "plans," "potential," "predicts," "projects," "seeks," "should," "will," "would" or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms.
Forward-looking statements contained in this press release reflect
MACOM's current views about future events and are subject to risks,
uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause
those events or our actual activities or results to differ materially
from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Although MACOM
believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it cannot and does not guarantee future
events, results, actions, levels of activity, performance or
achievements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause
actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the
forward-looking statements, including the potential that the expected
rollout of fiber-to-the-home network technology or other new optical or
other network technology deployments in China, Japan and other
geographies fails to occur, occurs more slowly than we expect or does
not result in the amount or type of new business we anticipate, lower
than expected demand in the optical network infrastructure market or any
or all of our primary end markets or from Huawei or any or all of our
large OEM customers based on seasonal effects, macro-economic weakness
or otherwise, the potential for increased pricing pressure and ASP
erosion based on competitive factors, technology shifts or otherwise,
the potential for inventory obsolescence and related write-offs, the
expense, business disruption or other impact of any current or future
investigations, administrative actions, litigation or enforcement
proceedings we may be involved in, the potential loss of access to any
in-licensed intellectual property or inability to license technology we
may require on reasonable terms, the impact of any claims of
intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, which could
require us to pay substantial damages for infringement, expend
significant resources in prosecuting or defending such matters or
developing non-infringing technology, incur material liability for
royalty or license payments, or prevent us from selling certain of our
products, greater than expected dilutive effect on earnings of our
equity issuances, outstanding indebtedness and related interest expense
and other costs, our failure to realize the expected economies of scale,
lowered production cost and other anticipated benefits of our previously
announced GaN intellectual property licensing program or InP laser
production capacity expansion program, the potential for defense
spending cuts, program delays, cancellations or sequestration, failures
or delays by any customer in winning business or to make purchases from
us in support of such business, lack of adoption or delayed adoption by
customers and industries we serve of Active Antennas, GaN, InP lasers or
other solutions offered by us, failures or delays in porting and
qualifying GaN or InP process technology to our Lowell fabrication
facility or third party facilities, lower than expected utilization and
absorption in our manufacturing facilities, lack of success or slower
than expected success in our new product development efforts, failure of
any announced transaction to close in accordance with its terms, failure
to successfully integrate acquired companies, technologies or products
or realize synergies associated with acquisitions, the potential that we
will experience difficulties in managing the personnel and operations
associated with our acquisitions, loss of business due to competitive
factors, product or technology obsolescence, customer program shifts or
otherwise, lower than anticipated or slower than expected customer
acceptance of our new product introductions, the potential for a shift
in the mix of products sold in any period toward lower-margin products
or a shift in the geographical mix of our revenues, the impact of any
executed or abandoned acquisition, divestiture, joint venture, financing
or restructuring activity, the impact of supply shortages or other
disruptions in our internal or outsourced supply chain, the impact of
changes in export, environmental or other laws applicable to us, the
relative success of our cost-savings initiatives, as well as those
factors described in "Risk Factors" in MACOM's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including its Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2016, as filed with
the SEC on January 27, 2016 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
