Taipei, Taiwan, February 6, 2009 – Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (NasdaqGS: SIMO; the “Company”) today announced its fourth quarter 2008 financial results. Fourth quarter net sales
decreased 28% quarter-over-quarter to US$32.3 million. Net income (GAAP) was a loss of $0.9 million or US$0.03 per diluted ADS, compared to earnings of US$8.1 million in the third quarter.
Non-GAAP net income, which excludes stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, foreign exchange gain, and one-time items, decreased 63% quarter-over-quarter to US$3.2 million, or US$0.11 per diluted ADS, compared to US$0.27 per diluted ADS in the third quarter of 2008.
Commenting on the results, Silicon Motion’s President and CEO, Wallace Kou, said:
“Although our fourth quarter sales performance was affected by the global economic slowdown, we believe that we continue to execute well under this current environment. Consumer demand for memory cards and USB flash drives was weak in most markets around the world. Because of weakened demand, there were higher levels of finished card and UFD inventory in the food chain. Additionally, our bundled card controller business was affected by weak sales of handsets. Furthermore, output of NAND flash components from the major flash vendors, while still growing rapidly, began to decelerate as less productive fabs were retired. These factors contributed to weaker demand for our controllers. However, in spite of weak end-market conditions, for full year 2008, our total flash storage controller unit shipment increased a solid 32%. This growth rate is towards the higher end of the 18% to 39% original range forecasted by Gartner and IDC. We continue leveraging our strong R&D and sales capabilities, as well as unparalleled relations with card makers and NAND flash business partners to aggressively support the current ramp of next generation NAND flash components with a portfolio of best-in-class controllers.
During the quarter our SSD business achieved key product, technology, and design-win goals—although it is important to note that the timing of any material increase in our SSD revenue remains uncertain. Goals achieved include releasing the world’s first SLC/MLC hybrid controller for SSDs, which provides OEMs with an effective solution to utilize lower cost MLC flash. We have also developed the world’s first Turbo MLC controller technology for SSDs that offers OEMs the advantage of significantly increasing the durability of MLC NAND flash with performance similar to SLC flash and at lower cost than using SLC flash. We have also secured an important SSD design-win for an important consumer electronics application, which is a demonstration that SSDs are being designed into many applications other than notebook PCs. We received an SSD controller design-win at Samsung for its flagship HMX series of camcorders, of which the HMX-106 is the world’s first 64GB SSD camcorder.
2
Our mobile communications business, which remains focused on the Korean market, was affected by domestic macroeconomic issues. Our mobile communications sales volume as a result fell sharply from the previous quarter as domestic handset sales contracted about 30%. However, we have rolled-out our T-DMB mobile TV tuner plus demodulator SoC solution according to schedule, have secured a series of design-wins at Samsung, LG, Pantech & Curitel, and other OEMs, and have already started shipping our SoC.”

Operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and one-time items was US$12.2 million, which was lower than US$14.1 million in the previous quarter largely due to reversal of accrued compensation expenses. Research and development expenditures, excluding stock-based compensation, were US$7.2 million, which was lower than US$7.7 million in the previous quarter. Selling and marketing expenses excluding stock-based compensation were US$2.5 million, which was lower than US$2.9 million in the previous quarter. General and administrative expenses excluding stock-based compensation and litigation expenses were US$2.6 million, which was lower than US$3.4 million in the previous quarter. Stock-based compensation was US$2.1 million, which was less than US$2.3 million in the previous quarter. Acquisition-related charges were US$1.5 million, which was slightly lower compared to the US$1.6 million in the previous quarter. Litigation expenses remained unchanged at US$0.5 million compared to the previous quarter.
Operating margin excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and one-time items was 12.4%, which was lower than 19% in the previous quarter. GAAP operating margin was negative 0.1%, which was lower than 9.1% in the previous quarter.
Other Income and Expenses
Net total other income excluding impairment on long-term investment and net foreign exchange gain was US$0.3 million, which was slightly less than US$0.4 million in the previous quarter. GAAP net total other income was US$0.2 million, which was significantly lower than US$4.2 million in the previous quarter due primarily to an impairment loss on investment and less foreign exchange gains.
Earnings
Net income excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, net foreign exchange gain, and one-time items was US$3.2 million in this quarter, which was lower than US$8.7 million in the previous quarter. Diluted earnings per ADS excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, net foreign exchange gain, and one-time items were US$0.11, down from US$0.27 in the previous quarter.
GAAP net loss was US$0.9 million, which was lower than a gain of US$8.1 million in the previous quarter. Diluted GAAP loss per ADS was US$0.03, down from a gain of US$0.26 in the previous quarter.
Balance Sheet
Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments decreased from US$59.5 million at the end of the third quarter of 2008 to US$51.9 million at the end of this quarter. The decrease was primarily due to capital expenditures, the repayment of short-term borrowings, and share repurchases. Repayment of short-term borrowings reduced external bank debt to zero. Other long term liabilities, which are comprised of loans from the Korean government for financing R&D activities, increased slightly from US$1.3 million at the end of the third quarter of 2008 to US$1.4 million at the end of this quarter.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, Silicon Motion spent US$4.8 million to repurchase ADSs, eliminated its short-term debt of US$3.3 million, and spent US$2.7 million in capital expenditures primarily relating to the implementation of a new SAP ERP system, as well as for design tools.
Share Repurchase Program:
The Company temporarily suspended its share repurchase program early in the fourth quarter in order to conserve cash as business conditions deteriorated. Prior to the repurchase suspension, in the fourth quarter of 2008 the Company repurchased 1.3 million ADSs for a total cost of US$4.5 million. The weighted average price per ADS repurchased was US$3.58.
Business Outlook:
Silicon Motion’s President and CEO, Wallace Kou, added:
“Although we believe we are executing well, whether on next generation flash controllers, SSD controllers, or mobile TV IC solutions, and are optimistic about the longer term growth potential of our business, we continue to see a difficult environment
5
over the next few quarters for companies involved in the NAND flash and mobile communications food chains and therefore believe that we must be prudent in the near term and focus on reducing unnecessary expenses and maximizing cash flow.”
For the first quarter of 2009, management expects:
| • | Revenue to be down 20% to 30% sequentially |
| • | Non-GAAP and GAAP gross margin to be in the 48 to 50% range |
| • | Operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and one-time items of approximately US$12 to 13 million |

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. |
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 or 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.
7
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 and the acquisition of Centronix in the fourth 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.
Impairment of long-term marketable securities relates to the other-than-temporary, non-operating write down of the Company’s minority stake investments in Spright Co., Ltd and Vastview Technology Corp. These investments were written down after the Company determined that these shares have been other-than-temporarily impaired.
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.

While Silicon Motion believes these estimates to be meaningful, these amounts could differ materially from actual reported amounts for the first quarter.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although such statements are based on our own information and information from other sources we believe to be reliable, you should not place undue reliance on them. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual market trends or our actual results of operations, financial condition or business prospects may differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward looking statements for a variety of reasons. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our belief in the outcome of any claim or lawsuit, including those uncertainties relating to litigation filed against the Company relating to whether its products are covered by patents not owned by the Company; unpredictable volume and timing of customer orders, which are not fixed by contract but vary on a purchase order basis; the loss of one or more key customers or the significant reduction, postponement, rescheduling or cancellation of orders from these customers; integration of our recently announced acquisitions; general economic conditions or conditions in the semiconductor or consumer electronics markets; decreases in the overall average selling prices of our products; changes in the relative sales mix of our products; changes in our cost of finished goods; the availability, pricing, and timeliness of delivery of other components and raw materials used in our customers’ products; our customers’ sales outlook, purchasing patterns, and inventory adjustments based on consumer demands
