Net income (GAAP) for the third quarter increased quarter-over-quarter to US$15.6 million or US$0.46 per diluted ADS from a net income of US$10.7 million or US$0.32 per diluted ADS in the second quarter of 2012.

Third Quarter 2012 Financial Review

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

“Silicon Motion delivered record quarterly revenue and EPS (non-GAAP) this quarter, with revenue increasing 11% sequentially led by strong New Growth Product sales and a rebound in our card controller business. Sales from our New Growth Products increased 39% sequentially and accounted for 40% of total revenue this quarter, up from 32% last quarter. New Growth Product revenue was driven by strong LTE transceiver sales to Samsung to support its ramping Galaxy SIII LTE smartphones as well as by OEMs bringing new smartphones to market using our eMMC controllers. This year we have more than doubled the number of LTE design-wins with Samsung and are working to secure additional LTE design-wins that should provide the foundation for further growth next year. Separately, this year we started delivering our eMMC controllers to both Samsung and SK Hynix and have design-wins with at least half of the top 10 smartphone OEMs and in a majority of the leading Android and Windows 8 tablets. With these wins, our eMMC controller shipments should account for 5 to 10% of the market in 2012. We believe the eMMC market should grow by about 20% next year and we are well placed to capture 15 to 20% of the market in 2013.

Our card controller business rebounded with a 21% sequential growth as our OEM customers increased procurement of controllers specifically for bundled cards. This very strong card controller growth was not enough to offset weakness at our other Core Products, principally USB flash drive controllers, mobile TV solutions, and CDMA EV-DO transceivers for the China market.”

Sales

Net sales in the third quarter were US$77.1 million, an increase of 11% compared with the previous quarter. For the quarter, mobile storage products accounted for 68% of net sales and mobile communications 28% of net sales.

Net sales of our mobile storage products, which primarily include flash memory cards, USB flash drives, SSD and embedded flash controllers, increased 4% sequentially in the third quarter to US$52.7 million.

Net sales of mobile communication products, which primarily include handset transceivers and mobile TV IC solutions, increased 40% from the second quarter of 2012 to US$21.9 million this quarter.

Gross and Operating Margins

Gross margin (non-GAAP) decreased to 46.4% in the third quarter from 49.1% in the second quarter of 2012. GAAP gross margin decreased to 46.3% in the third quarter from 48.9% in the second quarter of 2012.

Operating expenses (non-GAAP) were US$15.8 million, which was lower than the US$17.2 million in the second quarter. Research and development expenditures (non-GAAP) were US$10.0 million, which was lower than the US$11.3 million in the previous quarter. Selling and marketing expenses (non-GAAP) were US$3.6 million, which was higher compared to the US$3.3 million in the previous quarter. General and administrative expenses (non-GAAP) were US$2.2 million, which was lower compared to the US$2.7 million in the previous quarter. Stock-based compensation was US$3.4 million in the third quarter, unchanged compared to the second quarter. There were no acquisition-related charges in the third quarter of 2012.

Operating margin (non-GAAP) was 25.9%, an increase from 24.3% in the previous quarter. GAAP operating margin was 21.5% for the third quarter, an increase from 19.4% in the second quarter.

Other Income and Expenses

Net total other income (non-GAAP) was US$0.4 million, a slight increase from US$0.3 million in the second quarter. GAAP net total other income was US$0.8 million, an increase from a net total other expense of US$0.2 million in the second quarter. The increase in GAAP net total other income was primarily due to a foreign exchange gain in the third quarter of US$0.4 million compared to a foreign exchange loss in the second quarter of US$0.5 million.

Earnings

Net income (non-GAAP) was US$18.7 million this quarter, an increase from US$14.6 million in the second quarter. Diluted earnings per ADS (non-GAAP) were US$0.54 in the third quarter, an increase from US$0.42 in the second quarter.

GAAP net income was US$15.6 million during the third quarter, an increase from the net income of US$10.7 million in the second quarter. Diluted GAAP earnings per ADS in the third quarter were US$0.46, an increase from US$0.32 in the previous quarter.

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents increased to US$146.6 million at the end of the third quarter of 2012 from US$113.6 million at the end of the second quarter of 2012.

During the third quarter of 2012, we had US$1.0 million of capital expenditures primarily relating to the purchase of testing equipment, software and design tools.

Business Outlook:

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

“Our third quarter sales were stronger than expected principally because of accelerated LTE transceiver orders by Samsung. While originally we were anticipating sequential revenue growth in the fourth quarter, we are now anticipating a slight decrease due to some LTE transceiver sales planned for the fourth quarter having been sold in the third quarter. We are expecting modest growth from our card controllers and similar revenue from our eMMC controllers in the fourth quarter. Based on our fourth quarter revenue guidance, our full year revenue should grow 25 to 27%.”

For the fourth quarter of 2012, management expects:

 

   

Revenue to be down 3% to 9% sequentially

 

   

Gross margin (non-GAAP) to be in the 44% to 46% range

 

   

Operating expenses (non-GAAP) of approximately US$17 to US$18 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 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 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.

 

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.

Acquisition-related charges consist of non-cash charges that can be impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions. We consider our operating results without these charges when evaluating our ongoing performance and forecasting our earnings trends, and therefore exclude such charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the assessment of our operations excluding these costs is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of our competitors. To date in 2012, we have incurred no Acquisition-related charges. Historical acquisition-related charges include the following:

 

   

Amortization of intangible assets relates to the amortization of core technology, customer relationship, and other intangibles acquired as part of an acquisition.

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 these types of charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

Foreign exchange gains and losses prior to January 1, 2012, consist 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$. Beginning January 1, 2012, due to a change in functional currency of our largest operating subsidiary, we changed our reporting currency from the NT$ to US$ and subsequently our foreign exchange gains and losses now 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.

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.
