Ezchip Semiconductor Ltd

Ezchip Semiconductor Ltd was a publicly traded company that was acquired by Mellanox Technologies in 2016. At the time of its acquisition, Ezchip was a leading provider of high-performance processing solutions for network infrastructure. Its main product was the NPS scalable network processing platform, which offered advanced features such as deep packet inspection, traffic management, and network security.

In terms of financial performance, Ezchip reported strong revenue growth in the years leading up to its acquisition. In 2015, the company reported revenue of $120.3 million, up from $98.9 million in 2014 and $80.9 million in 2013. The company's net income also grew significantly during this time period, reaching $31.1 million in 2015, up from $22.2 million in 2014 and $14.5 million in 2013.

Ezchip's growth was driven by strong demand for its high-performance networking solutions, particularly in the data center and service provider markets. The company's strong financial performance and strategic position in the networking market made it an attractive acquisition target for Mellanox, which saw the acquisition as a way to expand its portfolio of high-speed networking solutions.

Following the acquisition, Ezchip's operations were integrated into Mellanox's business, and the company's products are now marketed under the Mellanox brand. However, investors who held shares of Ezchip at the time of the acquisition received a significant premium for their shares, reflecting the strong financial performance and growth potential of the company.
