Ambarella, Inc. Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2014 Results

Revenue up 31% Year over Year

June 4, 2013 -Santa Clara, Calif – Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA), a leading developer of low-power, HD video compression and image processing semiconductors, today announced financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended April 30, 2013.

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $33.9 million, up 30.9% from $25.9 million in the same period in fiscal 2013. Gross margin under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was 63.9%, compared with 71.0% for the same period in fiscal 2013. GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $4.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted ordinary share, compared with GAAP net income of $2.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted ordinary share, for the same period in fiscal 2013.

Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was 64.0%, compared with 71.1% for the same period in fiscal 2013. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $6.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted ordinary share. This compares with non-GAAP net income of $3.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted ordinary share for the same period in fiscal 2013.

Ambarella reports gross margin, net income and earnings per share in accordance with GAAP, as well as on a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP financial information excludes the impact of stock-based compensation and the associated tax impact. A reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP gross margin, net income and earnings per share numbers, as well as a description of the items excluded from the non-GAAP calculations, is included in the condensed financial statements portion of this press release.

Cash at the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2014 was $104.3 million, compared with $59.7 million at the end of the same quarter a year ago, and $100.5 million at the end of the fourth quarter.

“We are very pleased with our progress in the first fiscal quarter, with total revenue up 31% over the first quarter of last year and with the successful addition of new customers in key markets,” said Fermi Wang, President and CEO of Ambarella. “During the quarter we made excellent progress in the IP security camera market with new design wins at both professional and consumer IP-camera customers. We also saw especially strong revenue growth in the wearable sports camera category, led by market leader GoPro. In the automotive camera after-market we continued to grow revenue while successfully expanding our customer base.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company has provided in this release non-GAAP financial information including non-GAAP gross margin, net income, and earnings per share, as a supplement to the condensed consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing the company’s financial results to assess operational performance and liquidity. The company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. Further, the company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics that the company uses in making operating decisions and because the company believes that investors and analysts use them to help assess the health of its business and for comparison to other companies. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the company’s operating results. The non-GAAP information should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

The company has provided below reconciliations between its non-GAAP financial measures to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
