Second Quarter 2014 Financial Review
Commenting on the results of the second quarter, Silicon Motions President and CEO Wallace Kou said:
The second quarter was an outstanding quarter for the Company as all our new growth products contributed to strong 31% sequential growth. Our SSD plus embedded revenue grew over 55% and accounted for well over 50% of total revenue. Within our SSD plus embedded products, both our eMMC controllers and SATA 3 client SSD controllers grew strongly. Our eMMC controllers grew 65% as one of our Korean NAND flash partners increased its global eMMC market share more rapidly than anticipated and our other NAND flash partner continued ramping its new TLC eMMC. Our eMMC controllers are now used in the devices manufactured by all of the top ten non-iOS smartphone OEMs, two more than last quarter. Our SSD controller sales also grew stronger than expected as our module maker customers aggressively marketed SSDs with our controllers to consumers. Additionally this quarter, we expanded our pipeline of SSD design-wins with OEMs by securing a new SSD platform-win targeting PC OEMs by our SSD OEM partner, a new NAND flash vendor customer and a new project with our first NAND flash OEM. We believe these new SSD and embedded controller businesses should scale through next year.
In the second quarter, we began initial sales of our LTE-Advanced transceiver to our Korean handset partner and secured two additional design wins for mass production in the third quarter of this year.
Sales
Net sales in the second quarter were US$69.4 million, an increase of 31% compared with the first quarter. For the quarter, mobile storage products accounted for 85% of net sales and mobile communications 12% of net sales.
Net sales of our mobile storage products, which primarily include flash memory card, USB flash drive, SSD and embedded flash controllers, increased 30% sequentially in the second quarter to US$58.8 million.
Net sales of mobile communications products, which primarily include handset transceivers and mobile TV IC solutions, increased 54% sequentially to US$8.6 million in the second quarter.
Gross and Operating Margins
Gross margin (non-GAAP) increased to 52.2% in the second quarter as compared to 48.6% in the first quarter. GAAP gross margin increased in the second quarter to 52.2% as compared to 48.5% in the first quarter.

Business Outlook:
Silicon Motions President and CEO, Wallace Kou, added:
While we are pleased with our robust 2014 year-to-date performance and our expectations for the balance of this year, we are also looking forward to 2015 and are excited by our growing pipeline of SATA 3 client SSD and eMMC design-wins at major OEMs. We believe that we will increase our eMMC controller market share to 25% this year and have secured new programs with our NAND flash partners to drive strong continued eMMC growth next year. We now have one SSD OEM and two NAND flash partners with multiple new SSD program-wins that we believe will all start ramping in 1H 2015.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Companys 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 and other 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 to 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 Companys results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Companys 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 users 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 targets performance and valuation. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing the results from managements perspective in addition to seeing our GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Companys GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:
| the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Companys on-going operating results; |
| the ability to better identify trends in the Companys underlying business and perform related trend analysis; |
| a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Companys underlying business; and |
| an easier way to compare the Companys operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of our competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures. |
6
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 related 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 of share-based compensation on its operating results.
Foreign exchange gains and losses consist of translation gains and/or losses of non-US$ denominated current assets and current liabilities, as well as certain other balance sheet items which result from the appreciation or depreciation of non-US$ currencies against the US$. We do not use financial instruments to manage the impact on our operations from changes in foreign exchange rates, and because our operations are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we therefore exclude foreign exchange gains and losses when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.
Other non-recurring items:
| Litigation expenses consist of legal expenses relating to intellectual property disputes, commercial claims and other types of litigation. While litigation may arise in the ordinary course of our business, we nevertheless consider litigation to be an unusual, non-recurring and unplanned activity and therefore exclude this charge when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. |
| Vendor dispute charges relate to the write down of certain unsalable inventory due to defects in the components provided by our vendor. These parts were supplied to us at a quality below levels previously specified and agreed. All parts known to be defective have been identified and are within our control. We have resolved this matter with our vendor and recovered in 1Q 2013 the full value of the inventory being written off. This charge (as well as the amount recovered) has been excluded from our non-GAAP results as we believe this is an unusual, non-recurring and unplanned activity. |
