SHELTON, Conn. -- (Business Wire)
TranSwitch Corporation (NASDAQ: TXCC), a leading provider of
semiconductor solutions for the converging voice, data and video
network, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended
December 31, 2011.
Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 were approximately $6.3
million, as compared to net revenues of $6.7 million for the third
quarter of 2011 and $10.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Net
loss for the fourth quarter of 2011 was ($11.9) million, or ($0.39) per
basic and diluted common share, as compared to a net loss of ($4.8)
million, or ($0.16) per basic and diluted common share for the third
quarter of 2011, and a net loss of ($1.8) million, or ($0.08) per basic
and diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2010. The Company's
fourth quarter results include non-cash goodwill and intangible
impairment charges aggregating $14.3 million related to an acquisition
made by the Company in 2008 partially offset by a $6.9 million reversal
of accrued restructuring liabilities due to an amendment to a sublease
for approximately 93,000 square feet of excess office space. This
amendment extends the sublease through May 2017.
The GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter was 58%. This is compared
to the Company's GAAP gross margin of 65% for the third quarter of 2011,
and 64% for the fourth quarter of 2010.
Total non-GAAP operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2011 were
$7.7 million, as compared to $7.4 million in the third quarter of 2011
and $7.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP operating
expenses for the fourth quarter of 2011 exclude $0.1 million in
amortization of purchase price intangibles, $0.5 million in stock-based
compensation, $14.3 million in goodwill and intangible impairments, and
benefits of $0.3 million and $6.9 million from the reversal of accrued
royalties and restructuring liabilities, respectively. Total GAAP
operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2011 were $15.4 million, as
compared to $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $8.0 million
in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Non-GAAP operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2011 was ($4.1)
million, compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of ($3.1) million for the
third quarter of 2011 and a non-GAAP operating loss of ($0.9) million
for the fourth quarter of 2010. On a GAAP basis, the operating loss for
the fourth quarter of 2011 was ($11.8) million, compared to an operating
loss of ($4.5) million for the third quarter of 2011 and an operating
loss of ($1.6) million for the fourth quarter of 2010.
Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2011 was ($4.2) million, or
($0.14) per share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of ($3.3) million,
or ($0.11) per share, for the third quarter of 2011 and a non-GAAP net
loss of ($1.1) million, or ($0.05) per share, for the fourth quarter of
2010.
Further information about non-GAAP measures is provided below and a
reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP results

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Comparable U.S. GAAP
Measures (Unaudited)
Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a
reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings
release and related conference call or webcast to the most directly
comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The
reconciliation for historic non-GAAP measures is provided herein on a
quantitative basis and for non-GAAP measures that are forward-looking is
provided herein on a qualitative basis.
The non-GAAP measures used in this earnings release and related
conference call differ from GAAP in that they exclude expenses related
to stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, the
effects of special charges such as asset impairments, restructuring
charges and benefits from the reversal of accrued royalties. The
Company’s basis for these adjustments is described below. Management
uses these non-GAAP measures for internal reporting and forecasting
purposes. The Company has provided these non-GAAP financial measures in
addition to GAAP financial results because it believes that these
non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to certain
investors and financial analysts for comparison across accounting
periods not influenced by certain non-cash items that are not used by
management when evaluating the Company’s historical and prospective
financial performance.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating the
Company’s operating performance and believes that such measures are
useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing the Company’s
operating performance as the Company believes that the presentation of
non-GAAP measures that adjust for the impact of stock-based compensation
expenses, amortization of intangible assets, the effects of special
charges such as asset impairments and restructuring charges and benefits
from the reversal of accrued royalties provides investors and financial
analysts with a consistent basis for comparison across accounting
periods and, therefore, are useful to investors and financial analysts
in helping them to better understand the Company’s operating results and
underlying operational trends.
We do not provide forward-looking GAAP measures or a reconciliation of
the forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures because of our
inability to project special charges, asset impairments, employee
separation costs and stock-based compensation related expenses.
The non-GAAP financial measures we provide have certain limitations
because they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the
operation of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. The
non-GAAP measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for, or
superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance
with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other
companies. We endeavor to compensate for the limitations of these
non-GAAP measures by providing GAAP financial statements, descriptions
of the reconciling items and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures
to the most directly comparable GAAP measures so that investors can
appropriately incorporate the non-GAAP measures and their limitations
into their analyses. Please see our financial statements and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition" that will be included in the periodic report we
expect to file with the SEC with respect to the financial periods
discussed herein.
