LOS ALTOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 10, 2002--Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq:RMBS - news)
Q1 earnings announcement call live on website (www.rambus.com) at 2:00 p.m. PST.

Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq:RMBS - news) today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2001. Net
income for the December quarter was $6.2 million (25% of revenues), compared to $13.0 million in the same period last year
and $6.5 million in the previous quarter. Revenue for the quarter was $24.9 million, down 28% over the same period last year
and down 11% from the previous quarter.
December quarter results include $21.8 million in royalties, down 13% from the previous quarter. Royalties were down
primarily due to continuing DRAM industry price erosion during the third calendar quarter.
Operating expenses in the December quarter declined $2.3 million from last quarter as a result of a significant reduction in
litigation costs. Costs associated with litigation were down to $4.5 million in the December quarter versus $6.8 million in the
prior quarter. Overall, operating expenses were $17.3 million versus $19.6 million last quarter and $15.1 million in the same
period last year.
``The business climate in 2001 was marked by an extreme decline in memory prices and a very difficult economic environment.
The fact that we were profitable demonstrates that our business model has served us well during this turbulent year,'' said Geoff
Tate, CEO of Rambus Inc. ``In 2002, we are looking forward to more product introductions that incorporate Rambus
innovations.''
