GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $13.1 million, or ($0.19) per share. Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $9.4 million, or ($0.14) per share, excluding stock based compensation, restructuring charges and marketable securities’ adjustments.

As of July 2, 2011, cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term marketable securities totaled $103.4 million compared with $104.0 million at April 2, 2011.

“As previously anticipated, the sequential drop in net sales for the second quarter primarily reflects a decrease in shipments to one of our large North American customers, which was partially offset by the resurgence in shipments of our line amplifier products,” commented Ron Michels, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Looking forward, I am encouraged by the progress being made on new design opportunities with our other wireless customers, particularly in Korea and China. Additionally, we remain on track with our initiatives to expand revenue opportunities over the longer term with our new products for the wireless 3G/4G/LTE and broadband markets.”

The statements regarding the Company’s anticipated future performance are forward looking and actual results may differ materially. Please see safe harbor statement at the end of this press release.

This press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP, consisting of non-GAAP net income or loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share. Management uses non-GAAP net income or loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share to evaluate the company’s operating and financial performance in light of business objectives, for planning purposes, when publicly providing our business outlook and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. ANADIGICS believes that these measures are useful to investors because they enhance investors’ ability to review the company’s business from the same perspective as the company’s management and facilitate comparisons of this period’s results with prior periods. These non-GAAP measures exclude amounts related to stock-based compensation, marketable securities’ adjustments and restructuring, impairment and management separation charges and recoveries. Non-GAAP measures are used by some investors when assessing the ongoing operating and financial performance of our Company. These financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Management acknowledges that stock-based compensation is a recurring cost and is an important part of our employee’s compensation and impacts their performance. However the expense is non-cash in nature and there are various valuation methodologies and assumptions used in determining stock-based compensation that may be unrelated to operations, such as volatility and current interest rates. The presentation of the additional information should not be considered a substitute for net income or loss or income or loss per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Limitations of non-GAAP financial measures. The primary material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP measures as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are (i) they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in ANADIGICS industry, and (ii) they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. We compensate for these limitations by providing reconciliations of reported net income or loss and income or loss per share to non-GAAP net income or net loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share, respectively, within this press release.
