Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (NasdaqGS: SIMO; the “Company”) today announced its first quarter 2009 financial results together with revisions to previously announced results from the fourth quarter of 2008. For the first quarter of 2009, net sales decreased 33% to $21.5 million. Net loss for the first quarter (GAAP) was $1.4 million or US$0.05 per diluted ADS.

Net loss excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, foreign exchange gain, and one-time items decreased in the first quarter to a loss of US$0.8 million or US$0.03 per diluted ADS.

Revised Fourth Quarter 2008 Financial Review

When we reported our fourth quarter results in February, we reported unaudited results. Following the report of our results, new material information regarding the deteriorating financial condition of certain customers and more limited growth prospects of several products, which are consequences of on-going weakness in the global economic outlook, came to management’s knowledge. The majority of issues were largely related to our mobile communications business. After careful examination, we have revised our fourth quarter results to account for an increase in obsolete inventory reserves together with an increase in reserves for doubtful accounts, described below.

Sales

Fourth quarter 2008 net sales of US$32.3 million were unchanged compared with previously reported sales.

Gross and Operating Margins

Revised gross margins, excluding stock-based compensation, decreased from 50.3% to 38.5% due to US$3.8 million of additional reserves for end-of-life and obsolete inventory. Revised operating expenses increased by US$4.2 million because of additional reserves for doubtful accounts. Revised operating expenses for the fourth quarter, excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges and one-time items were US$16.5 million compared with previously reported total operating expenses of US$12.2 million.

Earnings

Revised net loss (GAAP) was US$8.2 million, or US$0.30 per diluted ADS, compared with previously reported net loss of US$0.9 million, or US$0.03 per diluted ADS. Revised net loss excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, foreign exchange gain, and one-time items was US$3.9

million, or US$0.14 per diluted ADS, compared with previously reported net income of US$3.2 million, or US$0.11 per diluted ADS.

First Quarter 2009 Financial Review (1)

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

“As noted in our first quarter pre-announcement, our business continues to be affected by the ongoing global economic slowdown, specifically weak end demand, reduced supply of NAND flash components by chipmakers, and more intense competition with other controller makers. Our revenue growth and profitability have been impacted by these unfavorable industry conditions. Such factors also contributed to the need to revise our previously released unaudited results from the fourth quarter.

The NAND flash industry this year will grow at a historically unprecedented low growth rate. Because of weak consumer demand for NAND flash storage devices, NAND flash chipmakers have been limiting production output by retiring old fabs, operating their fabs at low utilization rates, and ramping more slowly new capacity for the production of next generation flash. While these industry actions have led to a rebound in NAND flash prices, they negatively affect the availability of flash components to our customers, their related procurement of controllers, and our revenues. Additionally, our gross margin was weaker than expected this quarter because of slower transition by the flash industry to next-generation, sub-50nm NAND products and a resulting sales mix with a larger proportion coming from lower margin legacy controllers. This issue was exacerbated by more competition among controller suppliers for a more limited addressable market. Despite challenging near-term market conditions, we remain optimistic about our long-term prospects, continue to execute well in bringing to market next-generation solutions, and expect to benefit from the sales of these next generation solutions in the near future. We continue to make progress towards developing and introducing new products for next generation products such as TLC NAND and controllers to utilize faster interfaces such as USB 3.0 and SD 3.0. We are confident that

NAND flash growth will rebound as consumer confidence returns and device makers continue adopting NAND flash as the preferred media for digital data storage.

Currently there are some bright spots in our business. Our mobile communications product line, primarily our mobile TV and transceiver solutions, has been executing according to plan and delivering on product roadmap and revenue targets. We are seeing early validation of our diversification strategy for our mobile communications business with our recent design-win at a tier one handset vendor for our ISDB-T product for the Brazil market as well as wins at various domestic Chinese handset vendors for our CDMA transceiver products. Sales to China handset customers have been relatively solid, compared to sales to customers in other regions.”

Sales

Net sales in the first quarter totaled US$21.5 million, a decrease of 33% compared with the previous quarter. This quarter, mobile storage products accounted for 69% of net sales, mobile communications 22% of net sales, and multimedia SoCs 9% 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 40% from the fourth quarter of 2008 to US$14.8 million this quarter.

Net sales of mobile communication products, which include mobile TV IC solutions, CDMA RF ICs, and electronic toll collection (ETC) RF ICs, increased 2% from the fourth quarter of 2008 to US$4.7 million in the first quarter.

Net sales of multimedia SoC products, which include embedded graphics processors, MP3 SoCs, and PC camera SoCs, decreased 28% from the fourth quarter of 2008 to US$1.9 million this quarter.

Gross and Operating Margins

Gross margin excluding stock-based compensation improved from 38.5% in the fourth quarter to 44.1% this quarter. GAAP gross margin increased to 43.8% from 38.3% in the previous quarter.

Operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and one-time items was US$10.0 million, which was lower than US$16.5 million in the previous quarter due to continued expense management as well as delayed R&D and other expenses. Research and development expenditures, excluding stock-based compensation, were US$5.6 million, which was lower than US$7.2 million in the previous quarter. Selling and marketing expenses excluding stock-based compensation were US$2.0 million, which was lower than US$2.5 million in the previous quarter. General and

administrative expenses excluding stock-based compensation and litigation expenses were US$2.3 million, which was lower than US$6.8 million in the previous quarter. Stock-based compensation was US$1.7 million, which was less than US$2.1 million in the previous quarter. Acquisition-related charges were US$1.4 million, which was slightly lower compared to the US$1.5 million in the previous quarter. Litigation expenses decreased from US$0.5 million in the fourth quarter 2008 to less than US$0.1 million in the first quarter.

Operating margin excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and one-time items was a negative 2%, which was improved from the negative 12.5% in the previous quarter. GAAP operating margin was negative 16.7%, which was improved from the negative 25.5% 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$0.2 million, which was slightly less than US$0.3 million in the previous quarter. GAAP net total other income was US$2.7 million, which was significantly higher than US$0.2 million in the previous quarter due primarily to the impairment on long-term investment in the fourth quarter.

Earnings

Net loss excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, net foreign exchange gain, and one-time items was US$0.8 million in this quarter, an improvement from a loss of US$3.9 million in the previous quarter. Diluted loss per ADS excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, net foreign exchange gain, and one-time items was US$0.03, an improvement from a loss per ADS of US$0.14 in the previous quarter.

GAAP net loss was US$1.4 million, which was less than a loss of US$8.2 million in the previous quarter. Diluted GAAP loss per ADS was US$0.05, representing an improvement from the loss of US$0.30 in the previous quarter.

Balance Sheet

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments increased from US$51.9 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2008 to US$57.5 million at the end of this quarter. The increase was primarily due to the reduction of working capital. Other long term liabilities, which are comprised of loans from the Korean government for financing R&D activities, decreased from US$1.4 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2008 to US$1.2 million at the end of this quarter.

Business Outlook:

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

“We believe the supply of NAND flash components by chipmakers will continue to be constrained in the second quarter and do not expect significant improvement until the second half of this year. Even so, given the low utilization rate of the NAND flash industry, any improvement in utilization rates could result in significant increase in the availability of NAND flash components to our customers and increase their procurement of companion controller ICs. We do not believe current high price of flash and related constrained supply are sustainable.”

For the second quarter of 2009, management expects:

 

   

Revenue to be up 5% to 15% sequentially

 

   

Non-GAAP and GAAP gross margin to be in the 44% to 46% 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

 

7


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.

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.

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 investment 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$.

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
