outlook and future results of operations, our anticipated
successful commercialization and expansion of our Gallium Nitride
on Silicon (GaN on Si) technology portfolio, future activities or
trends, business strategies, competitive position, industry
conditions, acquisitions and market opportunities. 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,"

Forward-looking statements contained in this press release
reflect MACOM's current views about future events and are subject

activity, performance or achievements. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. A number
of important factors could cause actual results to differ
materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements,
including greater than expected dilutive effect on earnings of our
equity issuances, outstanding indebtedness and related interest
expense and other costs, the potential that the expected rollout of
fiber-to-the-home network technology or other new network
technology deployments in China and other geographies fails to
occur, occurs more slowly than we expect or does not result in the
amount or type of new business we anticipate, lower than expected
demand in any or all of our primary end markets or from any of our
large OEM customers based on seasonal effects, macro-economic
weakness or otherwise, indemnity claims related to or failure to
realize the projected benefits of our Automotive business
divestment, our failure to realize the expected economies of scale,
lowered production cost and other anticipated benefits of our
previously announced GaN intellectual property licensing program or
InP laser production capacity expansion program, the potential for
defense spending cuts, program delays, cancellations or
sequestration, failures or delays by any customer in winning
business or to make purchases from us in support of such business,
lack of adoption or delayed adoption by customers and industries we
serve of GaN, InP lasers or other solutions offered by us, failures
or delays in porting and qualifying GaN or InP process technology
to our Lowell, MA fabrication facility or third party facilities,
lower than expected utilization and absorption in our manufacturing
facilities, lack of success or slower than expected success in our
new product development efforts, loss of business due to
competitive factors, product or technology obsolescence, customer
program shifts or otherwise, lower than anticipated or slower than
expected customer acceptance of our new product introductions, the

any executed or abandoned acquisition, divestiture, joint venture,
financing or restructuring activity, the impact of supply shortages
or other disruptions in our internal or outsourced supply chain,
the impact of changes in export, environmental or other laws
applicable to us, the relative success of our cost-savings
initiatives, the potential for inventory obsolescence and related
write-offs, the expense, business disruption or other impact of any
current or future investigations, administrative actions,
litigation or enforcement proceedings we may be involved in, the
potential loss of access to any in-licensed intellectual property
or inability to license technology we may require on reasonable
terms, the impact of any claims of intellectual property
infringement or misappropriation, which could require us to pay
substantial damages for infringement, expend significant resources
in prosecuting or defending such matters or developing
non-infringing technology, incur material liability for royalty or
license payments, or prevent us from selling certain of our
products, and any failure in the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and
procedures, as well as those factors described in "Risk Factors" in
