History and Business of Company (this information may include date of incorporation)
LSI Logic Corporation (together with its subsidiaries collectively referred to as "LSI Logic", "LSI" or the "Company" and referred to as "we", "us" and "our") is a leader in the design, development, manufacture and marketing of complex, high-performance integrated circuits and storage systems. We are focused on four markets: communications, consumer products, storage components and storage systems. Our integrated circuits are used in a wide range of communication devices, including devices used for wireless and broadband data networking applications. We also provide other types of integrated circuit products and board-level products for use in consumer applications, high-performance storage controllers and systems for storage area networks. We operate in two segments - the Semiconductor segment and the Storage Systems segment - in which we offer products and services for a variety of electronic systems applications. Our products are marketed primarily to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") that sell products targeted for applications in our major markets. For the year ended December 31, 2003, revenues from the Semiconductor segment were $1,270 million (75% of total consolidated revenues) and the loss from operations was $296 million. In the Semiconductor segment, we use advanced process technologies and comprehensive design methodologies to design, develop, manufacture and market highly complex integrated circuits ("ICs"). These system-on-a-chip solutions include both application specific integrated circuits, commonly referred to as ASICs, and standard products. Semiconductor segment product offerings also include redundant array of independent disks ("RAID"), host bus adapters and related products and services. ASICs are designed for specific applications defined by the customer, whereas standard products are for market applications that we define. See also "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 7 of Part II. We have developed methods of designing integrated circuits based on a library of building blocks of industry-standard electronic functions, interfaces and protocols. Among these is our CoreWare(r) design methodology. Our advanced submicron manufacturing process technologies allow our customers to combine one or more CoreWare library elements with memory and their own proprietary logic to integrate a highly complex, system-level solution on a single chip. We have developed and use complementary metal oxide semiconductor ("CMOS") process technologies to manufacture our integrated circuits. For the year ended December 31, 2003, revenues from the Storage Systems segment were $423 million (25% of total consolidated revenues) and the income from operations was $23 million. In the Storage Systems segment, our enterprise storage systems are designed, manufactured and sold by our wholly owned subsidiary - LSI Logic Storage Systems, Inc. ("Storage Systems" or "Storage Systems segment"). Our high-performance, highly scalable open storage area network systems and storage solutions are available through leading OEMs and a specialized network of resellers. Products and solutions distributed through these channels may exclude LSI Logic Storage Systems' brand identification. When included, LSI Logic Storage Systems' brand identity may appear alone or in tandem with OEM brand identification. In November 2003, the Company announced its intention to separate the Storage Systems segment and create an independent storage systems company. On February 19, 2004, LSI Logic Storage Systems, Inc. filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the initial public offering of its common stock. LSI Logic Corporation was incorporated in California on November 6, 1980, and was reincorporated in Delaware on June 11, 1987. Our principal offices are located at 1621 Barber Lane, Milpitas, California 95035, and our telephone number at that location is (408) 433-8000. Our home page on the Internet is www.lsilogic.com.
