"I am very pleased to report better than expected earnings and record cash flow from operations during these difficult economic times. This marks the fourth consecutive quarter that we delivered better than expected earnings," said Mike Chang, CEO of AOS. "Although the market remains challenging, AOS has not wavered from its focus of moving into new geographies and high value, higher margin market segments," he continued.
"Our plan is simple: develop new technology platforms to maintain a leadership position and develop new products to diversify into new market segments to become a full-service power semiconductor company. Further accelerating our diversification strategy we have launched the molded chip scale and XSFET™ product families, and are expanding into the IGBT market. In addition, we introduced the new generation of EZBuck™ Power IC family targeting the fast growing Ultrabook as well as server, high-end consumer goods and networking markets."
Non-GAAP gross margin excludes share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP operating income, net income and diluted EPS exclude share-based compensation expenses and U.S. GAAP conversion costs. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the U.S. GAAP amounts are set forth in the attached schedules.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections of future performance based on management's judgment, beliefs, current trends, and anticipated product performance. These forward looking statements include, without limitation, projected amount of revenues, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, income tax provision, net income, share-based compensation expenses, expectation with respect to the macroeconomic conditions, our ability to achieve profitability, our ability to accelerate technology and product development, expectation with respect to new market opportunities for our products and other information under the section entitled "Fiscal Q2, 2013 Business Outlook". Forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to introduce or develop new and enhanced products that achieve market acceptance; the actual product performance in volume production; the quality and reliability of our product, our ability to achieve design wins, the general business and economic conditions, our ability to integrate and ramp up production at the Oregon fab facility; the state of semiconductor industry and seasonality of our markets, and other risks as described in our SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 filed on August 31, 2012. Other unknown or unpredictable factors or underlying assumptions subsequently proving to be incorrect could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All information provided in this press release is as of today's date, unless otherwise stated, and AOS undertakes no duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with the U.S. GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross margin, operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). These supplemental measures exclude share-based compensation expenses that are non-cash charges and costs incurred for our U.S. GAAP conversion . We believe that non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash and non-recurring expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results. In addition, our management uses non-GAAP measures to compare our performance relative to forecasts and to benchmark our performance externally against competitors. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations in that the non-GAAP
financial measures we use may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. For example, the term used in this press release, non-GAAP net income, does not have a standardized meaning. Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. We seek to compensate for this limitation by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures in the tables attached to this press release. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
