LSI Logic Reports Third Quarter Results

** Excludes acquisition-related amortization, restructuring and other special items, and stock-based compensation expense. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) "Share-Based Payment" on January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective transition method.

MILPITAS, Calif., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today reported third quarter 2006 revenues of $493 million, a 2% increase year-over-year compared to the $482 million reported in the third quarter of 2005, and up 1% sequentially compared to the $490 million reported in the second quarter of 2006.

Third quarter 2006 GAAP* net income was $44 million or 11 cents per diluted share, compared to third quarter 2005 GAAP net loss of $73 million or 19 cents loss per diluted share. Third quarter 2006 GAAP results compare to second quarter 2006 GAAP net income of $54 million or 13 cents per diluted share. Third quarter GAAP net income included $11 million of stock-based compensation expense and a net charge of $10 million from special items, acquisition-related amortization, restructuring and their related tax effect.

Third quarter 2006 non-GAAP** net income was $65 million or 16 cents per diluted share, an increase of 43% compared to third quarter 2005 non-GAAP net income of $45 million or 11 cents per diluted share. Second quarter non-GAAP 2006 net income was $57 million or 14 cents per diluted share.

Cash and short-term investments grew 6% sequentially to $1.3 billion, from $1.2 billion in the second quarter and up 50% from the year-ago period.

"Revenues increased modestly during the quarter, with strong growth in storage semiconductors partially offset by expected lower demand for our portable media player products," said Abhi Talwalkar, LSI Logic president and chief executive officer. "Total storage revenues were 17% higher than the year-ago period, fueled in part by increasing demand for SAS-enabled storage solutions. We further strengthened investments in our storage business, entering into a definitive agreement to acquire StoreAge Networking Technologies, a privately held maker of storage management applications software."

"Higher gross margins and improved operating performance contributed to solid third quarter results, with net income significantly exceeding guidance," said Bryon Look, LSI Logic chief financial officer. "SG&A expenditures as compared to second quarter 2006 declined on both a percentage and an absolute basis. Our balance sheet also strengthened, with a $68 million increase in cash and short-term investments."
