Taipei, Taiwan, February 2, 2010 – Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (NasdaqGS: SIMO; the “Company”) today announced its fourth quarter and full year 2009 financial results. For the fourth quarter of 2009, net sales decreased 1% quarter-over-quarter to US$22.8 million. Net loss (GAAP) for the fourth quarter increased quarter-over-quarter to US$17.3 million or US$0.62 per diluted ADS from a GAAP net loss of US$4.7 million or US$0.17 per diluted ADS in the third quarter of 2009.

Net income excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, foreign exchange gain, and other items decreased in the fourth quarter to a loss of US$7.8 million or US$0.28 per diluted ADS as compared to a gain of US$0.8 million or US$0.02 per diluted ADS in the third quarter of 2009.

In addition, and as discussed below under “Potential Impairment Charge”, the Company is in the process of assessing potential impairments to goodwill and acquisition-related intangible assets relating to our FCI acquisition in 2007 and anticipates that it will record non-cash impairment charges to GAAP earnings in its 2009 audited financial statements.

Fourth Quarter 2009 Financial Review (1)

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

“Our mobile storage product line continued to rebound in the fourth quarter. Our mobile communications product line however declined sequentially because of continued product transitions in the Korea market. We are encouraged by the overall momentum of our business as new growth drivers and our pipeline of design wins continue to improve and position us for a strong 2010.

Although NAND flash industry component supply remains tight, we are encouraged by the improving outlook for supply and demand. This quarter, our mobile storage controller shipments increased 8% as compared to the third quarter. Our mobile storage business benefited from both increasing unit shipments of our controllers to cards and USB flash drives as well as increasing adoption of SSDs in industrial, networking, and consumer applications. Our shipment of controllers for SSD applications increased over 35% sequentially after growing over 100% the previous quarter. We believe that the continuing migration of NAND flash to finer process geometry, ramp of 3-bits per cell MLC flash, and accelerating NAND flash fab wafer capacity investments will improve NAND supply in 2010 and the following years.

The vast majority of controllers that we are shipping are for 40nm and 30nm NAND flash and we are on track to deliver controllers for 20nm NAND flash that is expected to be available in the second half 2010. In the fourth quarter, we also began shipping 3-bits per cell MLC controllers and these products accounted for nearly 10% of our card controller sales. We continue to lead the industry in developing next generation NAND flash controllers, whether for cutting edge process geometries, 3-bits per cell MLC, or differentiated quality NAND flash, and believe that the performance of our controllers is significantly better than those of our competitors.

During the fourth quarter, our mobile communications business decreased due to the impact of continued product transitions in the Korea domestic market. We will be rolling out a more advanced T-DMB mobile TV SoC in mid-2010. We are excited by our increasing pipeline of mobile TV design wins in new mobile TV markets and are delighted to announce that new LG and Lenovo TD-SCDMA handsets in China are using our CMMB mobile TV solutions. For the Brazil market, in addition to our first ISDB-T mobile TV solution that we started shipping in the third quarter with a Samsung handset, we have received another important ISBD-T design win. We have also received another ISDB-T design win for the Japan market.”

Sales

Net sales in the fourth quarter were US$22.8 million, a decrease of 1% compared with the previous quarter. This quarter, mobile storage products accounted for 66% of net sales, mobile communications 16% of net sales, multimedia SoCs 14% of net sales, and others 4% of net sales.

Net sales of mobile storage products, which include primarily flash memory card controllers, USB flash drive controllers, SSD controllers, and embedded flash controllers, increased 7% from the third quarter of 2009 to US$15 million this quarter.

Net sales of mobile communication products, which include primarily mobile TV IC solutions and CDMA RF ICs, decreased 41% from the third quarter of 2009 to US$3.6 million in the fourth quarter.

Net sales of multimedia SoC products, which include primarily embedded graphics processors and PC camera SoCs, increased 13.2% from the third quarter of 2009 to US$3.3 million this quarter.

Gross and Operating Margins

Gross margin excluding stock-based compensation and reserves for obsolete and end-of-life products was 52.1%. Gross margin excluding only stock-based compensation decreased to 42.2% compared with the third quarter. GAAP gross margin decreased to 40.1% from 48.1% in the third quarter.

 

3


Operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and other items were US$14.0 million, which was higher than the US$12.0 million reported for the third quarter. Research and development expenditures, excluding stock-based compensation, were US$7.5 million, which were higher than the US$7.3 million in the previous quarter. Selling and marketing expenses excluding stock-based compensation were US$2.9 million, which was higher than the US$2.4 million from the previous quarter. General and administrative expenses excluding stock-based compensation and litigation expenses were US$3.7 million, an increase from the US$2.2 million reported in the previous quarter. The increase in our G&A expenses was primarily due to a US$1.1 million bad debt reserve, largely attributed to accounts receivable relating to our ETC business. Stock-based compensation was US$7.6 million in the fourth quarter, which is higher than the US$2.2 million in the third quarter. Acquisition-related charges were US$1.5 million, unchanged compared with the previous quarter. Litigation expenses were less than US$0.1 million in the fourth quarter, similar to the previous quarter.

In the fourth quarter, we accelerated the vesting of certain soon-to-vest restricted stock units (RSUs) granted to our employees and cancelled a small portion of outstanding RSUs previously granted to our employees. Together, these two actions resulted in a one-time stock-based compensation charge of US$5.1 million. We are currently planning a new and more effective long-term employee incentive program and will implement this shortly.

Operating margin excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and other items was a negative 19.1%, a decrease from 3.2% in the previous quarter. GAAP operating margin was also lower at negative 59.1% compared with the negative 19.3% reported for the third quarter.

Other Income and Expenses

Net total other income excluding net foreign exchange gain or loss, and other items was US$0.1 million, which was unchanged from the previous quarter. GAAP net total other expense was US$0.3 million, which was significantly lower than US$1.6 million in the previous quarter due primarily to lower foreign exchange loss in the fourth quarter.

Earnings

Net loss excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, net foreign exchange loss, and other items was US$7.8 million in this quarter, a decrease from the income of US$0.8 million in the third quarter. Diluted loss per ADS excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, net foreign exchange gain (loss), and other items was US$0.28, a decrease from earnings per ADS of US$0.02 in the previous quarter.

 

4


GAAP net loss was US$17.3 million, an increase from the net loss of US$4.7 million in the third quarter. Diluted GAAP loss per ADS was US$0.62, an increase from loss per ADS of US$0.17 in the previous quarter.

Balance Sheet

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments increased slightly from US$60.6 million at the end of the third quarter of 2009 to US$61.2 million at the end of this quarter.

Potential Impairment Charge

Because of weaker than expected performance of our mobile communications product line and push outs of market opportunities, we are currently assessing potential impairments to goodwill and acquisition-related intangible assets relating to our FCI acquisition and anticipate impairment charges to our 2009 financial statements. We acquired FCI in April 2007 for US$102 million. The net carrying cost of FCI at the end of 2009 and before potential impairment charges was US$71.7 million. We will be appointing an appraiser to assist the Company in determining the extent of the non-cash impairment charge to GAAP earnings and will disclose this as soon as practicable either in the Company’s 20-F filing for the 2009 fiscal year or through an earlier, supplemental press release.

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 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 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.

 

7


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 (acquisition-related charges) 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 losses on long-term investment relates to the other-than-temporary, non-operating write down of the Company’s minority stake investments in Vastview Technology Corp. The investment was 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$.
