NEWPORT BEACH, CA--(Marketwire - June 8, 2009) - Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: [ MSPD ]), a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for network infrastructure applications, today announced an update to its business outlook for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The company now expects revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to be in the range of $32.0 million to $33.0 million, excluding any potential patent sales. The company's previous guidance for third fiscal quarter revenue was to be in the range of $30.0 million to $32.0 million. The revision in guidance is attributable to strength in all three of the company's businesses, multiservice access (MSA) or voice-over-IP (VoIP), high-performance analog (HPA) and wide area networking (WAN). The company continues to experience better than expected 3G wireless infrastructure and fiber-to-the-building (FTTB) customer demand in China, as well as growth in crosspoint switch solutions.

The company now anticipates non-GAAP gross margin to be approximately 61% for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. In addition, the company now expects non-GAAP operating expenses to be approximately $21.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2009, due to additional charges associated with the previously reported unexpected medical insurance claim.

Mindspeed is scheduled to release its earnings results for the third fiscal quarter of 2009 on July 27, 2009.
