2013, ended February 2, 2013, and a 8% decrease from revenue of $796
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, ended April 28, 2012.

GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $53 million, or
$0.11 per share (diluted), compared with GAAP net income of $50
million, or $0.09 per share (diluted), for the fourth quarter of fiscal
2013, and $95 million, or $0.16 per share (diluted), for the first
quarter of fiscal 2013.

fiscal 2013, and $139 million, or $0.23 per share (diluted), for the

"Our results in the first quarter were at the high-end of our
guidance mainly due to better than normal seasonal demand and share
gains in our storage and networking end markets,
" said Dr. Sehat Sutardja, chairman and CEO. "Starting
in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we expect many of our investments
and key initiatives across all of our end markets to produce tangible
results. More specifically, we expect growth to be driven by increased
traction in areas such as mobile handsets, tablets, connectivity and
SSDs

Abstracts the earnings call transcript:

Sehat Sutardja, president, CEO and COB:
"As you recall, Marvell's shares in HDD increased by roughly 5 percentage points in fiscal 2013 due to the ramp of our 2.5-inch, 500GB per platter devices at all the drive OEMs. In fact, we are now seeing adoption of our 500GB per platter technology in new types of desktop applications, such as all-in-one PCs, which are slowly replacing traditional desktops. Moving forward, our advanced product roadmap is creating strong traction at customers for new enterprise and traditional 3.5-inch desktop and nearline applications. As a result, we expect continued steady HDD share gains this year.
"In addition to better trends in HDDs, we have stronger than initially expected double-digit sequential growth for SSD business in Q1. Our strategy of partnering with top-tier NAND OEMs is resulting in excellent traction for our advanced SSD solutions. Consequently, we expect to gain at least 5 percentage points share in SSD along with the expected growth in the overall SSD TAM this year.
"For Q2, despite the continued weakness in the PC market, we expect our storage end market to be roughly flat with double-digit growth in SSDs, offset by a slight decline in HDDs."


Brad Feller, interim CFO:
"In storage, our overall revenue was roughly flat from the prior quarter and represented approximately 53% of total sales. Our HDD business declined less than we expected due to better-than-typical seasonal demand and continued share gains. In addition, we continued to see strong growth in our SSD business during the quarter.
"By end market, we expect storage to be flat, with double-digit growth in SSDs, offset by a slight decline in HDDs."
