On a non-GAAP basis (excluding non-cash share-based compensation, as described and reconciled below), net income for the period totalled $2.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted and basic share. This is up 22% from $2.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted and basic share, in the third quarter of 2011.
 
Financial results for the first nine months of 2012: Silicom’s revenues for the first nine months of 2012 increased by 12% to a record $32.0 million from $28.6 million in the first nine months of 2011.
 
On a GAAP basis, reported net income for the period totalled $6.8 million, or $0.97 per diluted share ($0.99 per basic share), up 17% from $5.8 million, or $0.83 per diluted share ($0.85 per basic share) in the first nine months of 2011.

Comments of Management
 
Commenting on the results, Shaike Orbach, President and CEO, said, “We are very pleased to report another quarter of record results as measured across all parameters, demonstrating the strong momentum of our sales and the leverage inherent in our business model.
 
“We continue to benefit from some of the IT industry strongest trends – especially the performance and security challenges that are accompanying the rise of Big Data and cloud computing. With a reputation for out-of-the-box technologies, rapid response time and world-class service, we are being sought out by the market’s top server and appliance manufacturers, and they are bringing us a steady stream of new opportunities, Design Wins and ongoing orders. As our customer base continues to grow and diversify, our pool of Design Wins expands, bringing us a growing platform of recurring orders as well as a broader range of new opportunities, often from different divisions within a large corporation. In parallel, our success in remaining a lean organization with an emphasis on brain-power has enabled us to continually increase our profitability as we scale our sales.”
 
Mr. Orbach concluded, “As such, we feel more confident than ever about our ability to continue to grow and flourish over the short and long term. With unique technologies and products, a top-tier customer base and a second-to-none team, we feel ideally positioned to continue growing in step with our fast-growth target markets.”
