Fortune Small Business (FSB) Ranks Pericom Semiconductor 30th on List of 100 Fastest Growing Small Public Companies in America
HDTV, notebook PC, cell phone and GPS, as well as networking applications are prime drivers of Pericom's growth


San Jose, CA, 2008-07-15 - Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEM), a worldwide preferred supplier of PCI Express® connectivity, signal integrity and timing technology, today announced that is has landed on Fortune Small Business' List of the 100 Fastest Growing Small Public Companies in America (a.k.a. the FSB 100), in the July/August issue of the magazine. Ranking 30th overall (higher than soft drink superstar Jones Soda), Pericom was the only semiconductor company named in the top 74 of 100 ranked companies.

The companies were ranked from one to one hundred by their three-year annualized rates of revenue growth, EPS growth, and total return to investors. Pericom also ranked 4th in earnings per share, 4th in the state of California, 25th in revenue, and 38th in net income.

"We are dedicated to being the best in our industry," said Pericom's CEO Alex Hui. "And when we are given an honor such as this, we feel that we are making great strides towards achieving that goal every single day. Our year-to-year growth is strongly driven by a multitude of applications in high growth computer, communications and consumer markets segments."

The company has made a number of lists that have identified it as a fast growing small business to watch. Recently, in April 2008, The Mercury News ranked Pericom in the top 150 Silicon Valley companies, following the company's first appearance on that list in April 2007. In June 2007, Electronic Business ranked Pericom among the 30 Best Small Companies.

"We've been consciously pursuing a sustainable high-growth strategy so it is gratifying to be included in the company of such outstanding businesses," said Pericom's Sr. VP of Marketing, Dr. Gerry Liu. "That the efforts of the team are being noticed at this level is yet more inspiration to work harder and aim even higher."
