TAIPEI, Taiwan, July 30, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (Nasdaq:SIMO) (the "Company") today announced its second quarter 2009 financial results. For the second quarter of 2009, net sales decreased 6% quarter-over-quarter to US$20.3 million. Net loss (GAAP) for the second quarter was US$6.2 million or US$0.22 per diluted ADS.

Net income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, foreign exchange gain (loss), and one-time items improved in the second quarter to an income of US$1.0 million or US$0.03 per diluted ADS as compared to a loss of US$0.8 million in the first quarter of 2009.

Second Quarter 2009 Financial Review [1]

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

"As we had indicated on our second quarter pre-announcement, our business in the second quarter continued to be negatively affected by the global economic slowdown and the shortage in NAND flash available to our customers. While we had originally anticipated the supply of NAND flash to improve steadily throughout the second quarter, the timing and availability of NAND flash to our customers was challenging. NAND flash vendors continued to limit availability of products to card and UFD device makers and this resulted in less procurement of our controllers. Additionally, consumer demand and unit growth was limited by high prices for flash memory.

While the first half of 2009 was challenging, we are beginning to see the potential for improvement in our operating environment for the second half of 2009. We are seeing an increasing supply of flash, especially 4x and 3x nm components. We continue to offer advanced, best-in-class controller technologies that help our NAND flash partners accelerate market adoption of next generation flash. We announced in July that our controllers have been validated by Micron for its 34nm flash and these controllers are already in mass production. Our controllers have also been selected by Intel for its 34nm USB products.

Sales of our mobile communications products this quarter were strong due to increasing sales of T-DMB SoC products for the Korea mobile TV market. We are also showing initial success with our expansion into other markets with our design wins at tier-one global handset OEMs for our ISDB-T SoCs for the Japan and Brazil mobile TV markets and for our CDMA transceiver for the ultra low-cost phone market. We believe that these new design wins will serve as a strong base for our continued mobile communications growth."

Sales

Net sales in the second quarter totaled US$20.3 million, a decrease of 6% compared with the previous quarter. This quarter, mobile storage products accounted for 54% of net sales, mobile communications 33% of net sales, and multimedia SoCs 12% 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 26% from the first quarter of 2009 to US$11.0 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 42% from the first quarter of 2009 to US$6.7 million in the second quarter.

Net sales of multimedia SoC products, which include embedded graphics processors, PMP and DAB SoCs, and PC camera SoCs, increased 28% from the first quarter of 2009 to US$2.5 million this quarter.

Gross and Operating Margins

Gross margin excluding stock-based compensation improved from 44.1% in the first quarter to 48.5% this quarter. GAAP gross margin increased from 43.8% to 48.0% in the second quarter.

Operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and one-time items were US$11.2 million, which were higher than the US$10.0 million reported for the first quarter. Research and development expenditures, excluding stock-based compensation, were US$6.8 million, which were higher than US$5.6 million in the previous quarter. Selling and marketing expenses excluding stock-based compensation were US$2.4 million, which were higher than US$2.0 million in the previous quarter. General and administrative expenses excluding stock-based compensation and litigation expenses were US$2.1 million, which were lower than US$2.3 million in the previous quarter. Stock-based compensation was US$2.2 million, which was higher than US$1.7 million in the previous quarter. Acquisition-related charges were US$1.5 million, which was slightly higher compared to the US$1.4 million in the previous quarter. Litigation expenses were less than US$0.1 million in the second quarter, similar to the previous quarter.

Operating margin excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and one-time items was a negative 6.7%, which was lower compared with the negative 2.3% in the previous quarter. GAAP operating margin was a negative 24.7%, which was lower compared with the negative 16.7% in the previous quarter.

Other Income and Expenses

Net total other income excluding net foreign exchange gain or loss was US$0.1 million, which was slightly less than US$0.2 million in the previous quarter. GAAP net total other income was a loss of US$3.4 million, which was significantly lower than an income of US$2.7 million in the previous quarter due primarily to a foreign exchange loss of US$3.5 million in the second quarter compared to a foreign exchange gain of US$2.5 million in the first quarter.

Earnings

Net income excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, net foreign exchange gain, and one-time items was US$1.0 million in this quarter, an improvement from a loss of US$0.8 million in the previous quarter due to a deferred tax benefit of US$2.2 million. Diluted income per ADS excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, net foreign exchange gain (loss), and one-time items was US$0.03, an improvement from a loss per ADS of US$0.03 in the previous quarter.

GAAP net loss was US$6.2 million, which was higher than a net loss of US$1.4 million in the previous quarter. Diluted GAAP loss per ADS was US$0.22, a decrease compared to the loss per ADS of US$0.05 in the previous quarter.

Balance Sheet

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments increased from US$57.5 million at the end of the first quarter of 2009 to US$60.7 million at the end of this quarter. The increase was partially due to the reduction of working capital.

Cash Flow

Our cash flows were as follows:

During the second quarter of 2009, we spent US$0.9 million in capital expenditures primarily relating to the purchase of software and equipment. There were no shares repurchased in the second quarter.

Business Outlook:

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

"While we are seeing some signs of improving NAND flash supply, flash component sales volume remains constrained, flash prices remain high, and overall consumer demand continues to be lackluster. We are however encouraged by the continuing ramp of next-generation flash and our traction with our NAND flash business partners and customers. We are also encouraged by our recent mobile communications design wins and sales contributions from this product line."

For the third quarter of 2009, management expects:



    * Revenue to be flat to up 10% sequentially
    * Non-GAAP and GAAP gross margin to be in the 46% to 48%
      range
    * Operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation,
      acquisition-related charges, and one-time items of
      approximately US$14 to US$15 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 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.

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$.
