Our fourth-quarter revenue was $184.1 million and our non-GAAP earnings per share was $0.13. We continued to execute on our operating expense management initiatives, which led to a year-over-year 33% increase to $0.52 in 2014 non-GAAP earnings per share. We thus are prepared to deliver strong operating leverage as we grow in 2015.

Our planned merger with Spansion has cleared review by the government agencies in the U.S. and Germany. We remain confident that the post-merger company will position us as a leading global provider of microcontrollers, flash and SRAM memories, and automotive components required for today's embedded systems.

BUSINESS REVIEW
+ Our non-GAAP consolidated gross margin for the fourth quarter was 52.4%, down 1.1 percentage points from the previous quarter, primarily due to product and customer mix. Excluding our Emerging Technologies Division, our core semiconductor gross margin was 54.6%.
+ Net inventory at the end of the fourth quarter was $88.2 million, down 0.6% from the third quarter.
+ Cypress announced that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable to holders of record of the company’s common stock as of the close of business on December 26, 2014. This dividend was paid on January 15, 2015.

FOURTH-QUARTER 2014 HIGHLIGHTS

+ Cypress and Spansion announced a definitive agreement to merge in an all-stock, tax-free transaction valued at approximately $4 billion. The merger is expected to achieve more than $135 million in cost synergies on an annualized basis over three years and to be accretive to non-GAAP earnings within the first full year after the transaction closes. The combined company will continue to pay $0.11 per share in quarterly dividends to shareholders.

+ Cypress introduced two highly integrated, single-chip Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) solutions that simplify the design of low-power, sensor-based systems for the Internet of Things (IoT) and other applications. The new PSoC® 4 BLE Programmable System-on-Chip delivers unprecedented ease of use and integration to applications for the IoT, home automation,


healthcare equipment, sports and fitness monitors, and other wearable devices. The PRoC™ BLE Programmable Radio-on-Chip provides a cost-effective, turnkey solution for wireless human interface devices, remote controls and applications that require wireless connectivity.

+ Cypress announced the qualification of its BLE solutions under the Bluetooth 4.1 specification, which is designed to coexist with faster 4G cellular technologies, such as LTE, and to deliver better connections and data transfer. The qualification further simplifies customer Bluetooth Smart designs.

+ Cypress introduced its TrueTouch® Gen5 TMA568 capacitive touchscreen controller for large-screen smartphones, tablets and e-readers with advanced features: gloved-finger tracking, 1-mm passive stylus support and hover functionality that enlarges touchscreen content to improve ease of use.

+ Casio selected Cypress’s TrueTouch capacitive touchscreen controller and low-power SRAM products for its wearable EX-FR10 camera. TrueTouch provides best-in-class waterproofing, while MoBL® (More Battery Life™) asynchronous SRAMs enable fast throughput and fluid image buffering.

+ Yota Devices announced production of its next-generation YotaPhone with Cypress’s TrueTouch Gen5 touchscreen controllers in the smartphone’s two displays. The premium Android phone uses the TMA568 controller for advanced multitouch functionality in its standard display and the TMA545 controller for its “electronic paper” display.

+ iConnectivity, a leading developer of digital audio interfaces for musicians, is using Cypress’s CapSense® MBR3 mechanical button replacement solution in its next-generation iConnectAUDIO4+ audio interface system. The easy-to-use MBR3 solution enables the implementation of a dynamic, reliable touch-sensing user interface for this system.

+ Cypress began sampling its EZ-USB® HX3™ hub controller in a 36-mm2 ball grid array (BGA) package. The new package makes the hub controller the industry’s smallest, saving board space in Ultrabook™ devices, tablets and other mobile and consumer devices.



+ Cypress and Icron Technologies successfully completed interoperability testing between Cypress’s EZ-USB FX3™ USB 3.0 peripheral controller and the EZ-USB CX3™ camera controller and Icron’s USB 3.0 Spectra™ 3001-15 active copper extension cable. The Icron cable extends USB 3.0 performance to 15 meters and enables the Cypress controllers to address a broader range of machine vision and industrial applications.

+ Cypress’s RadStop™ radiation-hardened 72-Mb QDR-II+ SRAMs and 4-Mbit fast asynchronous SRAMs have met the Qualified Manufacturers List Class V and Class Q standards-the highest quality and reliability standards for aerospace-grade ICs in satellites and other applications.

+ United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) licensed Cypress’s SONOS (Silicon Oxide Nitride Oxide Silicon) embedded flash memory intellectual property (IP) for its 40-nanometer process technology. UMC had licensed Cypress’s 55-nanometer SONOS IP in 2014. This ongoing collaboration strengthens the position of SONOS as the next-generation embedded-flash solution of choice for foundries.

Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Cypress uses the following non-GAAP financial measures which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures:

•
Gross margin
•
Research and development expenses
•
Selling, general and administrative expenses
•
Operating income (loss)
•
Net income (loss)
•
Diluted net income (loss) per share

The non-GAAP measures set forth above exclude charges primarily related to stock-based compensation, which represented 72% of total adjustments for the year ended December 28, 2014, as well as restructuring charges, acquisition-related expenses and other adjustments. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional and useful way of viewing aspects of Cypress’s operations that, when viewed in conjunction with Cypress’s GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the various factors and trends affecting Cypress’s business and operations. Management uses these non-GAAP measures for strategic and business decision-making, internal budgeting, forecasting and resource allocation processes. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Cypress’s historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G and to make clear to our investors the adjustments we make to GAAP measures, we have provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
