Taipei, Taiwan, July 30, 2008 – Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (Nasdaq: SIMO; the “Company”) today announced its second quarter 2008 financial results. Second quarter net sales increased 2% year-over-year to US$48.6 million. GAAP net income decreased 78% year-over-year to US$2.0 million, or US$0.06 per diluted ADS, compared to US$0.27 per diluted ADS in the second quarter of 2007.

Non-GAAP net income, which excludes stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, foreign exchange gain or loss, and one-time items, decreased 44% year-over-year to US$8.8 million, or US$0.26 per diluted ADS, compared to US$0.46 per diluted ADS in the second quarter of 2007.

Commenting on the results, Silicon Motion’s President and CEO, Wallace Kou, said:

“The second quarter turned out to be an extremely challenging period for the Company. Although our overall first half of 2008 revenues are in-line with our original expectations, our second quarter sales, particularly sales of storage products, were unfavorably affected by weak demand from many of our customers, both in our retail as well as bundled card controller segments. Strength in our first quarter revenue performance was largely offset by weakness in the second quarter. Our retail card customers were negatively affected by both higher NAND flash prices during part of the second quarter, together with softening end-consumer demand, primarily in Europe and the US. Our sales to China met expectations, but were nevertheless negatively affected by the devastating earthquake in Sichuan. In the second quarter, NAND flash vendors started reducing their capacity and therefore also reduced their sales of OEM cards and procurement of controllers from us. Our handset bundled business also underperformed, but mostly because of temporary product transition issues. Handset OEMs began taking advantage of improved affordability of NAND flash late this quarter to transition from bundling lower density cards to bundling higher density cards.”

“Our business also had some important positive developments. Increasingly affordable NAND flash continued to create new opportunities for us in SSDs, embedded flash, and for non-consumer applications. This quarter we won embedded flash controller business from Hynix and Numonyx for eMMC solutions designed for tier-1 global handset and GPS OEMs. We also won embedded flash controller business at Micron for an eUSB solution targeting enterprise storage applications. Importantly, we have already started shipping some of these embedded flash controllers. Our embedded flash controller for handsets are on track to ship in the fourth quarter.”

“This quarter, we shipped over one million SSD controllers for ultra low cost PCs and other applications, with a big part of our sales going to the ASUS eeePC and HP Mini-Note. We also shipped increasing numbers of SSD controllers for industrial and enterprise applications. Separately, we are on track to release additional engineering samples of our recently announced series of best-in-class MLC SSD controllers in the third quarter and expect to begin production in the fourth quarter.”

“Our mobile TV IC revenue increased over 31% this quarter. Our overall communications products now account for 21% of our total revenue. We continue to have the leading position in Korea, our home market for this business, and have a developing presence in China with local handset OEM customers that include ZTE and Amoisonic. We remain excited about our mobile TV business and believe we have one of the most comprehensive and competitive portfolios of mobile TV solutions, including for T-DMB, S-DMB, DVB-H, C-MMB, T-MMB, and ISDB-T standards, in the global market.”

Second Quarter 2008 Financial Review (1)

Sales

Net sales in the second quarter totaled US$48.6 million, representing an increase of 2% from the second quarter of 2007 and a decrease of 7% compared with the first quarter of 2008. In the second quarter of 2008, mobile storage products accounted for 73% of net sales, mobile communications 21% of net sales, and multimedia SoCs 7% of net sales.

Net sales of mobile storage products, which include flash memory card controllers, USB flash drive controllers, card reader controllers, SSD controllers, and embedded flash controllers, decreased 6% from the second quarter of 2007 to US$35.4 million for the second quarter of 2008 and decreased 14% from the first quarter of 2008 primarily because of reduced memory card controller sales. Storage controller shipments increased 31% year-over-year and decreased 11% quarter-over-quarter.

Net sales of mobile communication products, which include mobile TV tuners, CDMA RF ICs, and electronic toll collection (ETC) RF ICs, increased 126% from the second quarter of 2007 to US$10.0 million for the second quarter of 2008 and increased 31% from the first quarter of 2008 primarily because of higher mobile TV IC sales.

Net sales of multimedia SoC products, which include embedded graphics processors, MP3 SoCs, and PC camera SoCs, declined 43% from the second quarter of 2007 and increased 8% from the first quarter of 2008 to US$3.2 million for the second quarter of 2008 mainly because of a slight increase in graphics sales.

Gross and Operating Margins

Gross margin excluding stock-based compensation was 47.3%, which was lower than 51.2% in the first quarter of 2008. This decrease was due primarily to a rapid shift of communications products from higher margin tuners to lower margin SiPs, which combine Silicon Motion’s tuners with procured demodulators, and a US$1.0 million write-off of mainly obsolete MP3 SoCs, image processor SoCs, and card reader controllers. Gross margins for mobile storage products in the second quarter of 2008 were unchanged from the first quarter of 2008.

Operating expense excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and one-time items was US$14.5 million in the second quarter of 2008, which was higher than US$11.9 million in the first quarter of 2008. R&D expenditures excluding stock-based compensation was US$8.9 million, which was higher than US$6.3 million in the first quarter of 2008, mainly because of new photomask and product development costs. Selling and marketing expenses excluding stock-based compensation was US$2.3 million in the second quarter of 2008, which was unchanged from the first quarter of 2008. General and administrative expenses excluding stock-based compensation was US$4.0 million in the second quarter of 2008, which was slightly higher than US$3.9 million in the first quarter of 2008. Stock-based compensation was US$2.2 million in the second quarter of 2008, unchanged from the first quarter of 2008. Acquisition-related charges in the second quarter of 2008 were US$1.6 million, which was unchanged from US$1.6 million in the first quarter of 2008. Litigation expenses increased slightly from US$0.6 million in the first quarter of 2008 to US$0.7 million in the second quarter of 2008.

Operating margin excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and one-time items was 17.5% for the second quarter of 2008, which was lower than 28.4% in the first quarter of 2008. GAAP operating margin was 8.2%, which was lower than 19.9% in the first quarter of 2008.

Other Income and Expenses

Net total other income excluding net foreign exchange gain or loss was US$0.6 million, which was unchanged from US$0.6 million in the first quarter of 2008. GAAP net total other income was US$0.4 million, compared to a loss of US$2.1 million in the first quarter of 2008.

Earnings

Net income excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, net foreign exchange gain or loss, and one-time items decreased 44% year-over-year to US$8.8 million in the second quarter of 2008. Diluted earnings per ADS excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, net foreign exchange gain or loss, and one-time items were US$0.26, down 44% from US$0.46 in the second quarter of 2007. One time items affecting earnings in the second quarter of 2008 also include a one-time US$2.1 million FIN48 tax charge, which relates to uncertainties about income tax liabilities that resulted from an arbitrary change in interpretation of tax codes by the Taiwan tax authorities following a routine review of the Company’s tax filings.

GAAP net income decreased 78% year-over-year to US$2.0 million in the second quarter of 2008. Diluted GAAP earnings per ADS were US$0.06, a decrease of 78% from US$0.27 in the second quarter of 2007.

Balance Sheet

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments decreased from US$110.7 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2007 to US$95.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2008. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2007, there were no short-term borrowings, which relate mainly to the current portion of other long term liabilities. There were US$3.3 million in short-term borrowings at the end of the second quarter of 2008. Other long term liabilities, which are comprised of loans from the Korean government for R&D financing, increased from US$1.6 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2007 to US$2.1 million at the end of the second quarter of 2008.

Share Repurchase Program:

On March 12, 2008, the Company announced a US$40 million share repurchase program. During the three months ended June 8, 2008, the Company repurchased 1.5 million ADSs for a total cost of US$25.2. The weighted average price per ADS repurchased was US$17.16.

Business Outlook:

Silicon Motion’s President and CEO, Wallace Kou, added:

“When we provided our 2008 full year guidance earlier this year, we did factor in the effect of a global economic slowdown. However, we believe we may have underestimated the severity of weak global consumer confidence for the second half of 2008, especially as it relates to our mobile storage products. We believe that since the

 

6


economic slowdown and related weakness in consumer confidence weakness are already leading to closures of older NAND flash fabs and push-outs of investments in new flash capacity, it is prudent that we take an even more conservative view of the second half of 2008. Nevertheless, our sales of our mobile TV solutions are tracking well. We expect sales of these products to scale further during the second half of 2008 and become a larger part of our product mix by the end of the year. We are on-track in terms of our MLC SSD controller sampling and production timetable, and sales of multimedia SoCs are expected to grow moderately in the second half of 2008.”

As a result, Management is revising its full year 2008 guidance:

 

   

Revenue of US$200 to US$205 million, which compares to previously announced guidance of US$225 to US$235 million. The new guidance still implies year-over-year growth of 11% to 15%

 

   

Non-GAAP and GAAP gross margin of 48 to 51%, which compares to previously announced guidance of 52 to 53%

 

   

Non-GAAP earnings per ADS of approximately US$1.30 – 1.40, which compares to previously announced guidance of US$1.95 – 2.05. GAAP earnings per ADS of approximately US$0.50 – 0.60, which compares to previously announced guidance of US$1.55 – 1.65

For the third quarter of 2008, management expects:

 

   

Revenue of approximately US$44 – 46 million, which represents 0 to 4% decrease from the third quarter of 2007 and a 5 – 9% decrease over the second quarter of 2008

 

   

Non-GAAP and GAAP gross margin to be in the 48– 50% range

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s unaudited selected financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges and one-time items, including, non-GAAP cost of sales, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted ADS. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We compensate for the limitations of our non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors as these non-GAAP results exclude certain expenses, gains and losses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results and because it is consistent with the financial models and estimates published by many analysts who follow the company. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with our forecasts, and for benchmarking our performance externally against our competitors. Also, when evaluating potential acquisitions, we exclude the items described below from our consideration of the target’s performance and valuation. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing the results from management’s perspective in addition to seeing our GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:

 

   

the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s on-going operating results;

 

   

the ability to better identify trends in the Company’s underlying business and perform related trend analysis;

 

   

a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company’s underlying business; and

 

   

an easier way to compare the Company’s operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of our competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

 

8


The following are explanations of each of the adjustments that we incorporate into our non-GAAP measures, as well as the reasons for excluding each of these individual items in our reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges incurred as a result of the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R relating to the fair value of stock options and restricted stock units awarded to employees. The Company believes that the exclusion of these non-cash charges provides for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to our peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact the application of SFAS 123R has on its operating results.

Intangible amortization consists of non-cash charges that can be impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions. The Company considers its operating results without these charges when evaluating its ongoing performance and forecasting its earnings trends, and therefore excludes such charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that the assessment of its operations excluding these costs is relevant to its assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of its competitors.

In-process research and development consists of one-time charges incurred in connection with the acquisition of FCI in the second quarter of 2007 that otherwise would not have been incurred and therefore we have excluded the effects of these charges from our non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income. In-process research and development consists of technology projects which, as of acquisition date, had not yet reached technological feasibility and there are no future alternative uses that exist. We believe it is useful for investors to understand the effect of this expense on our statement of operations. This non-GAAP adjustment is intended to reflect acquisition-related expense incurred that is not directly associated with our continuing operations.

Litigation expenses consist of the legal expenses relating to complaints SanDisk filed in the US International Trade Commission and the US District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin.

Foreign exchange gains and losses consists of translation gains and/or losses of non-NT$ denominated current assets and current liabilities, as well as certain other balance sheet items which result from the appreciation or depreciation of non-NT$ currencies against the NT$.

FIN48 tax charge relates to uncertainties about income tax liabilities that had resulted from an arbitrary change in interpretation of tax codes by the Taiwan tax authorities following a routine review of our tax filings.
