  • New First-Time Royalty Contributions; Increase in ARC-Based™ Unit Shipments
    • Post-2003 contracts contributing royalty revenues for the first time
    • Unit shipments reported by ARC customers up 65%
  • Completed 2 Strategic Acquisitions
    • Asset acquisition of Teja Technologies accelerates creation of software platforms and development environments for VRaptor™ Multicore Architecture
    • Acquisition of Tenison Technology EDA speeds time to market for customers' complex SoC designs

Commenting on the company's performance, Carl Schlachte, president and chief executive officer, said, "The industry's adoption of ARC's configurable solutions continues to strengthen.  ARC's growth again outpaced the semiconductor market, and revenue increased at close to twice the rate compared to ARC's performance in the first half of 2006.  The company continued to sign significant agreements with Tier 1 customers.  Also in the first six months ARC completed two strategic acquisitions, which enhances the company's ability to solve customers' chip design challenges by providing more of a complete, integrated solution with optimized hardware and software elements.  Increasingly this is one of ARC's competitive differentiators, and the acquisitions are expected to strengthen ARC's revenue growth in the coming years."
