WARREN, N.J., February 22, 2012—ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions in the broadband wireless and wireline communications markets, reported fourth quarter 2011 net sales of $36.5 million, a decrease of 2.0% sequentially and a decrease of 39.4% from the fourth quarter of 2010.  Revenue for the full year 2011 of $152.8 million decreased 29.5% on an annual basis.

As of December 31, 2011, cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term marketable securities totaled $93.6 million.

GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $15.6 million, or ($0.23) per diluted share.  GAAP net loss for 2011 was $49.3 million, or ($0.73) per share. Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $9.5 million, or ($0.14) per share.  Non-GAAP net loss for the year was $31.7 million or ($0.47) per diluted share.

“While revenue declined slightly during the fourth quarter, our Wireless business grew sequentially for the second consecutive quarter and we continued to make notable progress on new product development,” commented Ron Michels, president and CEO. “We have received strong customer interest in our expanding portfolio of PADs, Multi-Mode-Multi-band PAs, and Penta-Band PA for 3G/4G applications, which provide industry-leading performance. Additionally, our new circuit architecture for dual-band PAs gives us a strong competitive advantage that will enable us to increase our 3G/4G market penetration. As we look beyond the seasonal first quarter, our new products serving an expanded addressable market will position us for growth in second half of 2012 and beyond.”

“We are acutely focused on execution in 2012,” said Terry Gallagher, vice president and CFO. “In commenting on the first quarter, we expect revenues to reflect the high end of seasonal softness in addition to a decline in revenue from products sold to our former top customer reaching end of life.”

The statements regarding the Company’s anticipated future performance are forward looking and actual results may differ materially. Please see safe harbor statement at the end of this press release.

This press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP, consisting of non-GAAP net income or loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share. Management uses non-GAAP net income or loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share to evaluate the company's operating and financial performance in light of business objectives, for planning purposes, when publicly providing our business outlook and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. ANADIGICS believes that these measures are useful to investors because they enhance investors' ability to review the company's business from the same perspective as the company's management and facilitate comparisons of this period's results with prior periods. These non-GAAP measures exclude amounts related to stock-based compensation, marketable securities’ adjustments, Thailand flood-related charges, the refund of certain R&D tax credits and restructuring, impairment and management separation charges and recoveries. Non-GAAP measures are used by some investors when assessing the ongoing operating and financial performance of our Company. These financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Management acknowledges that stock-based compensation is a recurring cost and is an important part of our employee’s compensation and impacts their performance. However, the expense is non-cash in nature and there are various valuation methodologies and assumptions used in determining stock-based compensation that may be unrelated to operations, such as volatility and current interest rates. The presentation of the additional information should not be considered a substitute for net income or loss or income or loss per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Limitations of non-GAAP financial measures. The primary material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP measures as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are (i) they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in ANADIGICS industry, and (ii) they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. We compensate for these limitations by providing reconciliations of reported net income or loss and income or loss per share to non-GAAP net income or net loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share, respectively, within this press release.
