Financial Results

Revenues for the third quarter increased by 49% to a record $17.2 million from $11.5 million in the third quarter of 2012.
On a GAAP basis, net income for the period totalled a record $4.0 million, or $0.55 per diluted share ($0.57 per basic share), a 56% increase compared with the $2.6 million, or $0.37 per basic and diluted share, reported in the third quarter of 2012.

Revenues for the first nine months of 2013 increased by 50% to a record $47.9 million from $32.0 million in the parallel period of 2012.
On a GAAP basis, net income for the period totalled a record $10.4 million, or $1.44 per diluted share ($1.47 per basic share), up 52% compared with $6.8 million, or $0.97 per diluted share ($0.99 per basic share), in the first nine months of 2012.

Comments of Management
Commenting on the results, Shaike Orbach, President and CEO, said, “We are extremely excited to report our strongest quarter on record, the outstanding culmination of the past four quarters’ continual success and expansion. The 50% growth that we have achieved over the past TTM (Trailing Twelve Months) demonstrates the accelerating power of all our growth engines – that is, we continue to benefit from the ramp-up of our business with so many of our existing 90+ customers; from our reputation as the ‘de facto’ performance-boosting and features-set standard for server-based appliances, which continues to bring us important new customers and verticals; and from our underlying market insight, which continues to steer our development efforts in the right directions.
“During the third quarter, we reported three significant design wins: one for SETAC modules from one of the world’s largest networking security companies, a long-time Silicom customer, that will ramp their business with us to about $4 million per year; and two from a new Traffic Management and Policy Enforcement customer, one for an Intelligent BYPASS Switch (IBS) and the other for an internal bypass blade. Our close, on-the-ground relationships with these and many other customers give us a unique understanding of market needs and an ability to foresee trends in the making, both of which continue to contribute to our growth.”
Mr. Orbach continued, “As a result, our innovative products are proving their value as performance-enhancing building blocks for some of today’s hottest IT concepts, including SDN, NFV, virtualization and cloud computing, all of which are being fuelled by the rise of Big Data. Leveraging our positioning in these fast-growing markets, we have recently acquired the Virtualization Offload Engine technology and IP developed by the exceptional Net Perform team. We believe this technology could become a key component in many ‘must-have’ solutions for virtualized data centers, and to that end we are now taking advantage of Net Perform’s development capabilities which are fully dedicated to that goal.”
Mr. Orbach concluded, “In addition, we benefit from the operating leverage of our OEM-centric business model, an advantage which is demonstrated by the impressive non-GAAP net margin of 24.4% we have achieved in Q3. In short, with an efficient business model, the industry’s strongest winds at our back and a virtually endless variety of opportunities ahead, we have never felt better positioned and look forward to generating additional growth in the years to come.”
