Alex Shubat, president and CEO of the company, said: "Fiscal 2009 marked an inflection point and represented a pivotal year for Virage Logic. We executed well on our inorganic growth initiatives, made continued significant progress on becoming a standard product company versus custom shop, and established deeper, strategic engagements.

"Our sales pipeline continues to increase and points to strong future growth in terms of both dollar value and individual deal size. Finally, the continuing shift the large semiconductor IDMs are making towards a fabless or fab-lite business model, plays to our core strengths and enables us to serve as an increasingly trusted IP partner."
