Forward-Looking Statement Safe Harbor and
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation contains forward-looking statements based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently
available to our management.  Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements concerning the Mindspeed transaction,
including those regarding the potential date of closing of the acquisition, and any potential benefits and synergies, strategic plans,
divestitures, restructuring, cost savings, accretion, and financial and business expectations associated with the acquisition, as well as
any other statements regarding our plans, beliefs or expectations regarding the transaction or its future business or financial results.
Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and generally may be identified by terms such as
"anticipates,"
"believes,"
"could,"
"estimates,"
"expects,"
"intends,"
"may,"
"plans,"
"potential,”
"predicts,"
"projects,"
"seeks,"
"should,"
"will,"
"would"
or
similar
expressions
and
the
negatives
of
those
terms.
Our forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties, and are not guarantees of future results. Actual
results may differ materially from the outcomes stated or implied by our forward-looking statements based on any assumptions and risk
factors
we
may
mention
today
or
otherwise,
including
the
factors
set
forth
in
the
press
release
we
issued
November
5,
2013
related
to
the
Mindspeed
acquisition,
our
Quarterly
Report
on
Form
10-Q
filed
with
the
SEC
on
August
5,
2013,
and
other
information
we
file
with
the
SEC,
which
are
publicly-available
on
the
SEC's
EDGAR
database
located
at
www.sec.gov.
We
undertake
no
obligation
to
update
these statements at a later date. All projections in this presentation are made as of November 5, 2013 only and are not being reaffirmed
hereby. MACOM undertakes no obligation to update them at any future date.
We make references in this presentation to certain financial information calculated on a basis other than in accordance with accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
(GAAP).
These
non-GAAP
measures
are
provided
as
additional
insight
into
on-going
financial
performance
and
to
enhance
the
user’s
overall
understanding
of
the
potential
impact
of
the
Mindspeed
acquisition.
These
non-
GAAP measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in
accordance
with
GAAP.
See
reconciliation
of
MACOM
results
to
the
nearest
GAAP
measure
in
the
appendix.
We
are
unable
to
provide
a
quantitative reconciliation for certain non-GAAP measures presented herein to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because we
cannot reliably forecast acquisition, integration and other costs related to the Mindspeed acquisition, which are difficult to predict and
estimate.  We do not provide a reconciliation for Mindspeed’s historical non-GAAP information presented.
Our fiscal year end is the Friday closest to September 30th. Fiscal year 2014 will be a 53-week year and the first quarter of fiscal year
2014 will have 14 weeks.

APPENDIX


36
Unless
otherwise
disclosed,
non-GAAP
financial
information
excludes
amortization
of
intangibles,
share-based
and
other
non-cash
compensation
expense,
restructuring
charges,
certain
litigation
costs,
changes
in
the
carrying
values
of
liabilities
measured
at
fair
value,
contingent
consideration,
other
non-cash
expenses,
earn-out
costs,
exited
leased
facility
costs
and
certain
income
tax
and
other
items.
Management
does
not
believe
that
the
excluded
items
are
reflective
of
underlying
performance.
The
exclusion
of
these
and
other
similar
items
from
the
non-GAAP
presentation
should
not
be
interpreted
as
implying
that
these
items
are
non-recurring,
infrequent
or
unusual.
“Free
Cash
Flow”
(FCF),
a
non-GAAP
financial
measure,
is
cash
flow
from
operations
reduced
by
purchases
of
property
and
equipment.
We
use
free
cash
flow,
and
ratios
based
on
it,
to
conduct
and
evaluate
our
business
because,
although
it
is
similar
to
cash
flow
from
operations,
we
believe
it
typically
will
present
a
more
conservative
measure
of
cash
flows
from
operations
since
purchases
of
property
and
equipment,
are
a
necessary
component
of
ongoing
operations.
Free
cash
flow
has
limitations
due
to
the
fact
that
it
does
not
represent
the
residual
cash
flow
available
for
discretionary
expenditures.
For
example,
free
cash
flow
does
not
incorporate
the
portion
of
payments
representing
principal
reductions
of
debt,
obligations
related
to
capital
leases
and
leases
accounted
for
as
financing
arrangements,
or
cash
payments
for
business
acquisitions.
Therefore,
we
believe
it
is
important
to
view
free
cash
flow
as
a
complement
to
our
entire
consolidated
statements
of
cash
flows.
“Return
on
Capital
Employed”
(ROCE),
also
a
non-GAAP
financial
measure,
is
non-GAAP
operating
income
after
tax
divided
by
the
sum
of
i)
total
assets
(excluding
cash
and
cash
equivalents)
minus
ii)
current
liabilities.
We
use
the
ROCE
financial
performance
ratio
in
order
to
assess
our
income
generation
from
the
point
of
view
of
our
shareholders
and
creditors,
who
provide
us
with
capital
in
the
forms
of
equity
and
debt.
We
believe
that
the
presentation
of
ROCE
and
the
various
supplemental
financial
measures
involved
in
its
calculation
provides
useful
information
to
investors
because
ROCE
can
be
used
to
determine
whether
capital
invested
in
the
Company
yields
competitive
returns.
As
with
free
cash
flow,
return
on
capital
employed
is
used
in
addition
to
and
in
conjunction
with
results
presented
in
accordance
with
GAAP
and
should
not
be
relied
upon
to
the
exclusion
of
GAAP
financial
measures.
Debt
“Leverage
Ratio”,
also
a
non-GAAP
financial
measure,
is
presented
as
outstanding
debt
divided
by
adjusted
earnings
before
interest,
taxes,
depreciation
and
amortization,
all
on
a
non-GAAP
basis
(EBITDA).
When
outstanding
debt
is
reduced
by
available
cash
and
cash
equivalents
in
the
calculation,
this
is
referred
to
as
“Net
Leverage
Ratio”.
