Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 were $541 million, down approximately 12 percent from $616 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, ended January 30, 2016, and down approximately 25 percent from $724 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, ended May 2, 2015.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, storage revenue declined 16 percent sequentially, reflecting lower HDD industry demand partially offset by growth in SSD. Networking revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 grew 5 percent sequentially due to improved enterprise networking demand. Mobile and wireless revenue decreased 29 percent sequentially, mainly driven by the previously anticipated declines in revenue resulting from Marvell's exit of the mobile handset business. Mobile handset revenues in the first quarter of 2017, fourth quarter, and first quarter of fiscal 2016 were $22 million, $69 million and $65 million, respectively. The Company anticipates mobile handset platform-related revenue to decline through fiscal year 2017 due to the restructuring actions announced on September 24, 2015.

Marvell reports net income, basic and diluted net income per share, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and on a non-GAAP basis as outlined below. Reconciliations of GAAP net income to non-GAAP net income for the three months ended April 30, 2016, January 30, 2016, and May 2, 2015, appear in the financial statements below. Non-GAAP net income, where applicable, excludes the effect of share-based compensation, amortization and write-off of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related costs, restructuring and other related charges, estimated litigation reserves and settlements, and certain expenses and benefits that are driven by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to Marvell's core operating performance.
