Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)

Net loss for the third quarter of 2009, on a GAAP basis,
was $4.2 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to a
net loss of $6.2 million, or $0.15 per share in the
second quarter of 2009, and net income of $1.8 million,
or $0.04 per diluted share in the third quarter of last
year. Gross margins were 51.5% in the third quarter
of 2009 compared to 46.8% in the second quarter of 2009
and 58.8% in the third quarter of 2008. Total cash and
cash equivalents were $70.7 million at September 30,

Non-GAAP Results
Cavium Networks believes that the presentation of non-GAAP
financial measures provides important supplemental information
to management and investors regarding financial and
business trends relating to the company's financial
condition and results of operations. These measures
should only be used to evaluate the Company’s
results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding
GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures in the third
quarter of 2009 exclude expenses totaling $4.9 million
related to stock-based compensation and related payroll
expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets
and acquisition related compensation expense and related
payroll taxes. The reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP
financial results is provided in the financial statements
portion of this release.
Net income for the third quarter of 2009, on a non-GAAP
basis, was $0.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share,
compared with non-GAAP net loss of $1.0 million, or
$0.02 per share in the second quarter of 2009 and net
income of $4.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share in
the third quarter of last year. Gross margins, on a
non-GAAP basis, were 55.7% in the third quarter of 2009
compared to 52.0% in the second quarter of 2009.
“We had record sales this quarter, due to primarily
strong growth in our Enterprise and Data Center business
driven by several new product ramps and a continuing
recovery in the run rate business. In addition, non-GAAP
gross margins expanded 370 basis points sequentially,
due to improved product mix, reduced product costs as
well as improved manufacturing overhead absorption.
The increased sales along with expanding gross margins
significantly improved sequential operating performance
this quarter” said Syed Ali, president and CEO
of Cavium Networks. “We have recently introduced
a number of new products, including our Next Generation
OCTEON™ II family of multi-core processors (from
one to 32 cores), our NITROX DPI Family of Layer 7 Content
Processors, as well as our new ECONA ARM-Based processors
for the connected home and office applications and the
PureVu family of products for highly interactive video
applications and display which helped drive extremely
robust design win rates during the quarter”.
