E[acute accent]RESULTS OF OPERATIONS E[acute accent]Revenues E[acute accent]First quarter revenues grew 30.7% to $613.9 million from $469.7 million in the same period a year ago. PC revenues increased just over 20% on strong sales of discrete A component or device that is separate and distinct and treated as a singular unit. desktop products to the add-in board (AIB AIB n abbr (BRIT) (= Accident Investigation Bureau) → oficina de investigación de accidentes AIB n abbr (Brit) (= Accident Investigation Bureau) → ) channel and from PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002.

(computer) notebook - laptop computer. 2. (tool) notebook - Labtech Notebook. revenues increased by about 20% on strong sales of discrete products. This was partially offset by lower sales of integrated products, which form a growing portion of the notebook market overall and where our market share is lower than that of discrete. Handset The part of the telephone that contains the speaker and the microphone. On a desktop phone, the part you hold in your hand is the handset. On a cellphone, the entire phone is the handset. See multihandset cordless and headset. chip revenues grew about 80% due to a growing number of design wins and robust market demand for feature phones in general. Revenues from digital television products grew dramatically based on market growth, design wins and the continued penetration of our products among top digital TV manufacturers. E[acute accent]Gross Margin E[acute accent]Gross margin percentage for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was down 1.7 percentage points to 34.2% from 35.9% for the same period a year ago. The margin percentage for our desktop discrete products declined relative to the first quarter of the previous year primarily due to production costs associated with the introduction and ramp of our new PCI Express products. The overall margin percentage decline was partially offset by the sales growth in our consumer business, which has margins that are typically higher than our corporate average. E[acute accent]The royalty Compensation for the use of property, usually copyrighted works, patented inventions, or natural resources, expressed as a percentage of receipts from using the property or as a payment for each unit produced. income we received from Nintendo for our graphics technology used in their GAMECUBE products also increased year-over-year, which has a positive impact on gross margin percentage. E[acute accent]Operating Expenses E[acute accent]In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, ATI announced a Restricted Share Unit program. A component of the program was a one-time one-time adj. 1. or one·time a. Occurring or undertaken only once: a one-time winner in 1995. b. cash payment to non-executive non-executive adj non-executive director → direttore m senza potere esecutivo employees.

Notes: For example, the payment of employees wages are an operating expense. Also known as OPEX. in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. This was not a factor in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. E[acute accent]Selling and marketing expenses increased 10.3% to $34.3 million, but declined as a percentage of revenues to 5.6% from 6.6% in the first quarter of last year. The absolute increase was related primarily to increased staffing levels for sales and technical support, which was partially offset by lower advertising costs and the cash payment in fiscal 2004 referred to above. E[acute accent]Administrative expenses were up 10.4% to $12.7 million from $11.5 million, but declined as a percentage of revenue to 2.1% from 2.5% in the first quarter of last year. The absolute increase was related primarily to increased staffing to support our growth, which was partially offset by lower costs associated with the cash payment in fiscal 2004 referred to above. E[acute accent]Research and development expenses increased 15.5% year-over-year to $73.1 million, but declined as a percentage of revenue to 11.9% from 13.5% in the first quarter of last year. The absolute increase was largely a result of adding technical staff across the organization to support our growth, but higher prototyping costs - particularly in desktop, integrated notebook and handheld handheld: see personal digital assistant. devices - also contributed to the increase. These were partially offset by lower costs associated with the cash payment in fiscal 2004 referred to above. E[acute accent]Stock-based Compensation E[acute accent]In accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, effective the first quarter of fiscal 2005, ATI is expensing compensation costs associated with stock options granted to employees after September 1, 2002. This expense item, along with the expense associated with restricted share units and deferred share units, is reflected in the expense for stock-based compensation included in the attached consolidated con·sol·i·date v. con·sol·i·dat·ed, con·sol·i·dat·ing, con·sol·i·dates v.tr. 1.

It is recorded under shareholders equity on the balance sheet. . Prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the expense associated with restricted share units and deferred share units were reflected in selling and marketing, research and development and administrative expenses.

In the law governing patents—grants of an exclusive right or privilege to make, use, or sell an invention or product for a term of years—the term comprise all stock-based compensation currently awarded by ATI to our employees and directors. Stock-based compensation costs were $10.6 million in the quarter as compared with $0.8 million in the same period last year. The increase in stock-based compensation was primarily related to ATI commencing the expensing of stock options in compliance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. E[acute accent]The $10.6 million expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 included $8.0 million for compensation costs associated with stock options, $2.0 million for compensation costs associated with restricted share units and $0.6 million for deferred share units.

E[acute accent]Interest and Other Income (Loss) E[acute accent]Interest and other income was $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared with a charge of $1.8 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2004. The increase partially reflects investment income derived de·rive v. de·rived, de·riv·ing, de·rives v.tr. 1. To obtain or receive from a source. 2. from interest on our higher cash balances.

E[acute accent]Net Income E[acute accent]Net income increased 34.3% to $63.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 from $47.4 million in the same quarter last year largely due to substantial growth in revenue. Net income per share increased to $0.25 from $0.19 over the same period. Net income and net income per share excluding the compensation costs associated with stock options described above were $71.4 million and $0.28 respectively for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. E[acute accent]Liquidity and Financial Resources E[acute accent]Inventory levels of $291.6 million at the end of the first quarter increased from $254.9 million at August 31, 2004. The increase was a result of increased sales and our need to maintain adequate levels of inventory to meet customer demands. Inventory turnover was just over our target of 60 days.

E[acute accent](i) Under Canadian GAAP, effective September 1, 2004, the Company adopted the fair value method of recognizing stock-based compensation. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the intrinsic value Intrinsic Value 1. The value of a company or an asset based on an underlying perception of the value. 2. For call options, this is the difference between the underlying stock's price and the strike price. method is used to account for stock-based compensation for employees. Compensation expense of $7.6 million, net of taxes recognized under Canadian GAAP would not be recognized under U.S. GAAP for the three months ended November 30, 2004. The exercise price of stock options is equal to the market value of the underlying shares at the date of grant, therefore there is no expense under the intrinsic value method for U.S. GAAP purposes for the three months ended November 30, 2004 and 2003. E[acute accent](ii) Under U.S. GAAP, options granted after January 18, 2001 with an exercise price denominated in a currency other than the currency of the primary economic environment of either the employer or the employee, should be accounted for under the variable accounting method. Under Canadian GAAP, there is no equivalent requirement. There were no such options granted after February 28, 2002. E[acute accent](iii) Under U.S. GAAP, the intrinsic value of the stock options issued under an incentive plan entered into in July 2002 is calculated as the increase in the Company's stock price between the grant date and the date on which all the conditions of the specified spec·i·fy tr.v. spec·i·fied, spec·i·fy·ing, spec·i·fies 1. To state explicitly or in detail: specified the amount needed. 2. To include in a specification. 3. business arrangement were determined to have been met. The compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the options. Under Canadian GAAP, there is no equivalent requirement. E[acute accent]14.
