Centillium Communications (CTLM)
June Quarter Preview

Summary

We believe that Centillium will slightly exceed our $41.4 million revenue
estimate for 2Q, and believe that both our $163 million revenue model and
consensus estimates of $166 million could be nudged up for the year.

We believe CTLM continues to benefit from the Japanese ADSL buildout where it
currently maintains 95%+ market share. Similar to last quarter, we believe
Japanese revenue could make up 85-90% of CTLM's sales this quarter, mostly
from
NEC, Sumitomo, and Xpeed (a U.S. vendor that sells into the Japanese market).
In addition to ICs used on central office line cards and traditional
stand-alone
modems, CTLM is also selling PCI-based ADSL chips that are going into NEC's
PCs
that should ramp in high volume during 2H01. We believe CTLM also has a VoP
design win with NEC for CTLM's Entropia product-this could also support solid
Japanese sales exiting 2001.

We also expect CTLM to clarify how Softbank/Yahoo's entrance into the market
will not affect Centillium's dominance for Japan's "Annex C" version of DSL.
Softbank indicated that it is considering the "Annex A" version of DSL-while
this may have driven down CTLM's stock recently, we view this as odd
considering
Annex A is unable to deal with the crosstalk and interference specific to
Japanese copper plant.

We estimate that by 4Q at least 5-10% of sales could be generated from the
Entropia product (for VoP), but we believe CTLM will keep current 2002 growth
projections in the conservative 35-45% range.
