Preliminary Financial Results
In the fourth quarter, total net revenues increased 5% from the comparable quarter of last year, and 3% sequentially reaching $129.0 million. On a GAAP basis, Emulex recorded a net loss of $28.8 million, or $0.33 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $15.7 million, or $0.18 per share, in Q4 of fiscal 2011. The fourth quarter preliminary results include a charge of $38.5 million related to the partial patent litigation settlement. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter was $23.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, representing a 62% increase from $14.4 million in the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year.

CEO Jim McCluney commented: "2012 was our second consecutive year delivering double digit top line revenue growth. I’m proud of our team’s execution to meet our corporate objective of record revenues for the year, exceeding $500 million for the first time in our more than 30 year history."

"It’s great to have so many OEMs now in production with our 16GFC technology, solidifying our time-to-market advantage over our nearest Fibre Channel competitor. With these wins and the momentum we have in the x86 market, we are well positioned to gain overall market share during the 16GFC transition, which is expected to account for 30% of all HBA port shipments in calendar 20131," McCluney concluded.

Business Outlook
Although actual results may vary depending on a variety of factors, many of which are outside the company’s control, including uncertainty related to the macro IT spending environment, the timing of new server launches by our customers, and the results and related costs of ongoing patent litigation, Emulex is providing guidance for its first fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2012. For the first quarter of fiscal 2013, Emulex is forecasting total net revenues in the range of $118-$122 million. The company expects non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.14-$0.16 in the first quarter. GAAP estimates for the first quarter reflect approximately $0.13 per diluted share in expected charges arising primarily from amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation and the royalties, mitigation expenses and license fees associated with the Broadcom patent litigation. First quarter results will reflect the payment of the $58 million partial patent litigation settlement. Of this settlement, $38.5 million was charged to the fourth quarter of 2012 and the balance will be amortized over the term of the license.
