June 3, 2014 – 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, 2014.
Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $40.9 million, up 21% from $33.9 million in the same period in fiscal 2014. Gross margin under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was 62.5 %, compared with 63.9% for the same period in fiscal 2014. GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $5.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted ordinary share, compared with GAAP net income of $4.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted ordinary share, for the same period in fiscal 2014.
Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was 62.7%, compared with 64.0% for the same period in fiscal 2014. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $7.8 million, or $0.25 per diluted ordinary share. This compares with non-GAAP net income of $6.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted ordinary share, for the same period in fiscal 2014.
Ambarella reports gross margin, net income and earnings per share in accordance with GAAP and, additionally, 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 financial statements portion of this press release.
Total cash and marketable securities on hand at the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2015 were $155.6 million, compared with $104.3 million at the end of the same quarter a year ago.
“We are very pleased with the financial results of our first fiscal quarter of 2015,” said Fermi Wang, president and CEO. “During the first quarter we achieved revenue of $40.9 million, up 21% from the same period last year, driven by continued growth in our IP security camera business. We believe the expanding markets for innovative, high definition professional and consumer cameras will continue to give us the opportunity to grow our revenues in the year ahead.”

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.
