Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MaxLinear, Inc. Announces
Third Quarter 2010 Financial Results
Carlsbad, Calif. – October 28, 2010 – MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE: MXL), a provider of highly integrated, radio-frequency (RF) and mixed-signal integrated circuits for broadband communications applications, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) Results
Revenue in the third quarter of 2010 was $18.5 million, compared to $18.2 in the second quarter of 2010 and $16.2 million in the third quarter of 2009.
Net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $1.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010 and net income of $2.2 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009. Gross margin was 70 percent in the third quarter of 2010, compared to 70 percent in the second quarter of 2010 and 66 percent in the third quarter of 2009. Operating income in the third quarter of 2010 was 9 percent of revenue, compared with 9 percent of revenue in the second quarter of 2010 and 15 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 2009.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $97.9 million at September 30, 2010, compared to $17.9 million at December 31, 2009. Cash flow provided by operations totaled $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $8.3 million for the first three quarters of 2010. Net proceeds of $72.9 million from MaxLinear’s March 24, 2010 initial public offering contributed to the increase in cash, cash equivalents and investments at September 30, 2010 as compared to December 31, 2009.
Non-GAAP Results
MaxLinear believes that non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results. These measures should only be viewed in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures. MaxLinear’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of stock-based compensation and an error related to the tax treatment of deferred revenue for 2009 and 2008. They also include the assumed conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock which occurred in connection with our initial public offering. The reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial statements portion of this release.
Net income in the third quarter of 2010, on a non-GAAP basis, was $2.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $2.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2010 and non-GAAP net income of $2.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2009. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2010, on a non-GAAP basis, was 70 percent of revenue, compared to 70 percent in the second quarter of 2010 and 66 percent in the third quarter of 2009. Operating income in the third quarter of 2010, on a non-GAAP basis, was 15 percent of revenue, compared with 15 percent of revenue in the second quarter of 2010 and 16 percent in the third quarter of 2009.
Business Summary
“Growth in our digital television receiver business and our cable system-on-chip products contributed to record revenue in the third quarter although, as previously announced, we began to see softness toward the end of the quarter,” said Kishore Seendripu, Ph.D, Chairman and CEO. “We were pleased to see revenues from our recently introduced CMOS-based cable system-on-chip products gather meaningful momentum in the third quarter, even though the ramp itself was less steep than what we had anticipated. With the addition of our cable system-on-chip products, our high performance, low power cable product portfolio is now addressing rapidly growing opportunities in cable markets in the U.S., Europe and Asia demonstrating our ongoing strategy of TAM expansion.”

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements concerning our future financial performance, our product development efforts, and trends and opportunities in our product markets. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current, preliminary expectations and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including, among others, uncertainties concerning how end user markets for our products will develop, including end user markets for the cable, digital television, and automotive applications of our products; our dependence on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenues; intense competition in our industry; the timing and development of the global transition from analog to digital television; our lack of long-term supply contracts and dependence on limited sources of supply; our ability to continue to develop and introduce new and enhanced products on a timely basis; and potential decreases in average selling prices for our products. In addition to these risks and uncertainties, investors should review the risks and uncertainties contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Additional risks, uncertainties, and other information will be contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, which MaxLinear will file with the SEC in October 2010.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income, operating income, gross margin, and earnings per share. These supplemental measures exclude stock-based compensation and the impact of an error related to the tax treatment of deferred revenue. They include the assumed conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock using the as-if converted method. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with and do not serve as an alternative for GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our GAAP results of operations. These non-GAAP measures should only be viewed in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures. We compensate for the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.
We believe that non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash and other one-time expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results. Among other uses, our management uses non-GAAP measures to compare our performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans and to benchmark our performance externally against competitors. In addition, management’s cash incentive compensation will be determined in part using these non-GAAP measures because we believe non-GAAP measures better reflect our core operating performance.
The following are explanations of each type of adjustment that we incorporate into non-GAAP financial measures:
Stock-based compensation expense relates to equity incentive awards granted to our employees, directors, and consultants. Our equity incentive plans are important components of our employee incentive compensation arrangements and are reflected as expenses in our GAAP results. Stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense for MaxLinear. While we include the dilutive impact of such equity awards in weighted average shares outstanding, the expense associated with stock-based awards reflects a non-cash charge that we exclude from non-GAAP net income.
The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes the correction of an error related to the tax treatment of deferred revenue for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The correction of the error is a one-time out-of-period adjustment; therefore, it is not indicative of our core operating performance.
The shares used to compute non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 include the assumed conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock using the as-if converted method as of the beginning of each period presented or the date of issuance, if later. In March 2010, in connection with the closing of our initial public offering, all of our outstanding preferred stock was converted into shares of our Class B common stock.
