Revenue for the third quarter was $27.3 million, an increase of 3 percent over the prior quarter revenue of $26.5 million and an increase of 43 percent from the $19.1 million reported in the third fiscal quarter a year ago. Q3 revenue growth was driven primarily by increased license fees.
Revenue from royalties was $12.6 million, an increase of $0.1 million from the prior quarter and an increase of 17 percent from the $10.7 million reported in the third quarter a year ago. End-user product shipments containing MIPS Technologies' processor IP increased to 115 million units during Q3 from 107 million units in Q2, and 31 percent from the 87 million units recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Contract and license revenue was $14.8 million, an increase of 6 percent from the $13.9 million reported in the prior quarter and an increase of 77 percent from the $8.3 million reported in the third quarter a year ago.
Gross margin was $17.9 million, an increase of $0.8 million from Q2 FY08 and a decrease of $0.7 million from the same quarter a year ago.
Q3 operating expenses of $23.2 million declined $1.2 million from the prior quarter but increased $4.4 million from the same quarter a year ago. The Q3 reduction in operating expenses was the result of previously announced cost reduction programs implemented during that same quarter.
Net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $4.3 million, an improvement of $7.8 million compared with the prior quarter and a decrease from the net income of $1.2 million in the third quarter a year ago. Net loss per share on a basic and diluted basis in the third quarter of 2008 was $0.10, compared with a net loss per basic and diluted share of $0.28 in the prior quarter and net income per share of $0.03 in the third quarter a year ago.
Non-GAAP net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, which excludes the effect of equity based compensation expense, certain costs related to the acquisition of Chipidea and the previously announced restructuring, was $2.4 million or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $2.9 million or $0.07 per basic share in the prior quarter and $3.5 million or $0.08 per basic and diluted share in the third quarter a year ago. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures used in this release to the corresponding GAAP results is provided in the tables below.
"MIPS achieved significant progress in its third fiscal quarter by trimming costs and integrating the two sales teams," said John Bourgoin, president and CEO. "Although we saw continued weakness in overall licensing activity, the processor licensing business did rebound 28 percent from the prior quarter. In fact, unit shipments of MIPS processor-based products are at all-time highs and grew an additional 7 percent relative to the previous quarter. And with the recent announcements of our first multiprocessing core, the MIPS32(R) 1004K(TM), and our new HDMI IP products, MIPS is generating exceptional levels of interest from customers."

These adjustments reconcile the Company's GAAP results of operations to the reported non-GAAP results of operations. The Company believes that presentation of net income and net income per share excluding equity-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, acquired in-process research and development, integration and acquisition expenses in connection with the acquisition of Chipidea provides meaningful supplemental information to investors, as well as management that is indicative of the Company's ongoing operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and budgeting purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's GAAP results, and may be different than non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
(a) This adjustment reflects the equity-based compensation expense related
to the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 123 revised (SFAS 123R)
beginning July 1, 2005. For the third fiscal quarter ending March 31,
2008, $1.8 million of equity-based compensation was allocated as
follows: $604,000 to research and development, $577,000 to sales and
marketing and $618,000 to general and administrative. For the second
fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2007, $2.1 million of equity-based
compensation expense was allocated as follows: $825,000 to research
and development, $636,000 to sales and marketing and $621,000 to
general and administrative. For the third quarter of fiscal 2007
ending March 31, 2007, $2.3 million equity-based compensation expense
was allocated as follows: $871,000 to research and development,
$720,000 to sales and marketing and $660,000 to general and
administrative. Management believes that it is useful to investors to
understand how the expenses associated with the adoption of SFAS 123R
are reflected in net income.
(b) This adjustment reflects the expense related to the amortization of
intangibles acquired in connection with the acquisition of Chipidea.
For the third fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008, $2.4 million of
amortization expense related to these intangible assets was allocated
as follows: $2.3 million to cost of sales, $8,000 to research and
development and $126,000 to sales and marketing. For the second fiscal
quarter ending December 31, 2007, $2.2 million of amortization expense
related to these intangible assets was allocated as follows:
$2.2 million to cost of sales, $9,000 to research and development and
$29,000 to sales and marketing. Management believes that excluding
this charge facilitates comparisons to MIPS' ongoing operating results
because the expense for the amortization of intangibles is not
indicative of operational performance and the amount of such charges
varies significantly based on the size and timing of our acquisitions
and the maturity of the business being acquired.
(c) This adjustment reflects the amortization expense related to the
amount held in escrow and payable to the founders of Chipidea in
connection with the acquisition of Chipidea. This amount is being
recorded in the statement of operations instead of part of the
purchase price of Chipidea since the amount is contingent upon
continued employment of the founders. This adjustment also reflects
legal fees incurred in association with certain financing activities
and the amortization of loan origination fees. For the third fiscal
quarter ending March 31, 2008, $1.7 million was expensed related to
the escrow amount payable to the founders of Chipidea, and $686,000
was expensed related to the amortization of loan origination fees.
For the second fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2007, $1.7 million
was expensed related to the escrow amount payable to the founders of
Chipidea, and $464,000 was expensed related to the amortization of
loan origination fees. Management believes that excluding the
unique charges related to the payment to the founders of Chipidea and
the fees associated with financing activities necessitated by the
acquisition facilitates comparisons to MIPS' ongoing operating results
during periods when there was no amortization of expenses related to
the acquisition of Chipidea or financing activities and also
facilitates investors' understanding of ongoing operating performance.
(d) This adjustment reflects integration expense related to the
acquisition of Chipidea recorded in accounting and legal expense.
Management believes that the integration charges associated with the
acquisition are elements of the acquisition process and that excluding
this charge facilitates comparisons to MIPS' ongoing operating results
during periods when there were no acquisitions and also facilitates
investors' understanding of ongoing operating performance.
(e) This adjustment reflects acquired in-process research and development
expense related to the acquisition of Chipidea. Management believes
that excluding this acquisition related charge facilitates comparisons
to MIPS' ongoing operating results during periods when there were no
acquisitions involving in-process research and development and also
facilitates investors' understanding of ongoing operating performance.
(f) This adjustment reflects restructuring expense related to reduction in
workforce and facilities exit costs. Management believes that
excluding this charge facilitates comparisons to MIPS' ongoing
operating results during periods when there were no restructuring
charges and also facilitates investors' understanding of ongoing
operating performance.
(g) This adjustment reflects the non-GAAP tax adjustment due to the
adjustments described above.

These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's GAAP results, and may be different than non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
(h) This adjustment reflects the equity-based compensation expense related
to the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 123 revised (SFAS 123R)
beginning July 1, 2005. For the nine month ending March 31,
2008, $6.3 million of equity-based compensation was allocated as
follows: $2.3 million to research and development, $1.9 million to
sales and marketing and $2.1 million to general and administrative.
For the nine month ending March 31, 2007, $6.1 million equity-based
compensation expense was allocated as follows: $2.4 million to
research and development, $1.8 million to sales and marketing and
$1.9 million to general and administrative. Management believes that
it is useful to investors to understand how the expenses associated
with the adoption of SFAS 123R are reflected in net income.
(i) This adjustment reflects the expense related to the amortization of
intangibles acquired in connection with the acquisition of Chipidea.
For the nine month ending March 31, 2008, $5.6 million of amortization
expense related to these intangible assets was allocated as follows:
$5.3 million to cost of sales, $17,000 to research and development and
$291,000 to sales and marketing. Management believes that excluding
this charge facilitates comparisons to MIPS' ongoing operating results
because the expense for the amortization of intangibles is not
indicative of operational performance and the amount of such charges
varies significantly based on the size and timing of our acquisitions
and the maturity of the business being acquired.
(j) This adjustment reflects the amortization expense related to the
amount held in escrow and payable to the founders of Chipidea in
connection with the acquisition of Chipidea. This adjustment also
reflects legal fees incurred in association with certain financing
activities and the amortization of loan origination fees. For the nine
month ending March 31, 2008, $4.0 million was expensed related to the
escrow amount payable to the founders of Chipidea and legal fees of
$335,000 were expensed related to certain financing activities and
$1.5 million was expensed related to the amortization of loan
origination fees. Management believes that excluding the unique
charges for the Chipidea escrow payments and the fees associated with
financing activities necessitated by the acquisition facilitates
comparisons to MIPS' ongoing operating results during periods when
there was no escrow amortization or financing activities and also
facilitates investors' understanding of ongoing operating performance.
(k) This adjustment reflects integration expense related to the
acquisition of Chipidea recorded in accounting and legal expense.
Management believes that the integration charges associated with the
acquisition are elements of the acquisition process and that excluding
this charge facilitates comparisons to MIPS' ongoing operating results
during periods when there were no acquisitions and also facilitates
investors' understanding of ongoing operating performance.

facilitates investors' understanding of ongoing operating performance.
(m) This adjustment reflects restructuring expense related to reduction in

excluding this charge facilitates comparisons to MIPS' ongoing
