Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $22.9 million, compared with $17.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.
As reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), fourth quarter 2012 net loss was $16.6 million, or ($0.58) per share, compared with a GAAP net loss of $0.3 million, or ($0.01) per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2011.
Inphi established a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, which resulted in a one-time, non-cash charge of $14.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decision to establish the valuation allowance was based on an assessment made at year-end that considered factors such as passage of new California tax law as well as projected taxable income. The establishment of a valuation allowance does not preclude Inphi from using its loss- carryforward, research and development tax credits and other deferred tax assets in the future.
