Pixelworks Reports Second Quarter 2002 Financial Results; Record Revenue Up 12 Percent Sequentially and 8 Percent Year-Over-Year

TUALATIN, Ore., Jul 16, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Pixelworks, Inc. (Nasdaq:PXLW), a leading provider of system-on-a-chip ICs for the advanced display market, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2002.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2002 was $24.6 million, an eight percent increase over revenue of $22.7 million in the second quarter of 2001 and a 12 percent increase from $22.0 million in the first quarter of 2002.

Net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the second quarter was $1.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share compared to a net loss of ($3.4) million, or ($0.08) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2001 and a net loss of ($3.9) million, or ($0.09) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2002.

Pro forma net income for the second quarter of 2002 was $1.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share compared to pro forma net income of $3.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2001 and pro forma net income of $1.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2002. Pro forma net income (loss), which differs from net income (loss) according to generally accepted accounting principles, excludes non-cash charges for amortization of developed technology, amortization of goodwill and assembled workforce, in-process R&D expense, and amortization of deferred stock compensation. A detailed reconciliation between pro forma and GAAP net income (loss) is included in the attached financial statements.

"We were pleased to have another solid quarter, especially when considering the difficult and unpredictable economic environment. We achieved record revenues driven by record unit shipments into all three of our primary end markets," said Allen Alley, president, CEO, and chairman of Pixelworks.

"These results validate our strategy of developing a balanced product portfolio addressing multiple markets within the advanced display industry," Alley added.

Business Outlook

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially. These statements do not include the potential impact of any investments outside the ordinary course of business, or mergers or acquisitions that may be completed after June 30, 2002, other than some effects of the anticipated acquisition of Jaldi Semiconductor that is expected to close in the third quarter of 2002. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. The inclusion of any statement in this release does not constitute a suggestion by the company or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statements are material. The company does not undertake to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied in this release will not be realized.

Due to very uncertain and unpredictable economic conditions, it is particularly difficult to predict product demand and other related matters.

The business outlook includes certain effects of the anticipated acquisition of Jaldi Semiconductor, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2002. It should be noted, however, due to the uncertainty as to the actual amounts involved, this business outlook does not include all of the effects of the Jaldi Semiconductor acquisition including other anticipated, large, non-cash expenses related to the Jaldi Semiconductor acquisition that the company is expected to incur as required under generally accepted accounting principles pertaining to the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions. These non-cash expenses include, but may not be limited to, the write-off of in-process research and development charges related to the acquisition and amortization of stock compensation expenses.

  • The company estimates third quarter 2002 revenue will be $25.5 to $27.5 million. The company expects revenue for the fourth quarter to increase from 10 to 20 percent over the third quarter of 2002. Revenue is highly dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, timely new product introductions, the company's ability to secure additional design wins with customers, growth rates in the flat panel monitor, multimedia projector, and advanced television markets, levels of inventory at distributors and customers, and increased supply of products from the company's third party foundries.
  • The company expects gross profit margins to be 46 to 48 percent in the third quarter of 2002 and 45 to 47 percent in the fourth quarter of 2002. Gross profit margins may be higher or lower than expected due to many factors including, but not limited to, competitive pricing actions, changes in estimated product costs, revenue levels, and changes in estimated product mix.
  • The company expects combined operating expenses for R&D and SG&A of approximately $11.5 to $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2002 and $12.5 to $13.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2002.
  • The company expects non-cash charges related to the amortization of deferred stock compensation to be approximately $625,000 per quarter for the remainder of 2002.
  • The company expects interest income of approximately $600,000 per quarter for the remainder of 2002. This estimate is dependent on no material change to average cash balances and interest rates from those at June 30, 2002.
  • The company expects the tax rate for the remainder of 2002 to be approximately 20 percent of pro forma income before income taxes. Pro forma income (loss) before income taxes represents income (loss) before income taxes excluding non-cash expenses for the amortization of developed technology, amortization of goodwill and assembled workforce, in-process research and development expense, and amortization of deferred stock compensation. Pro forma income (loss) before income taxes excluding these expenses differs from income (loss) before income taxes according to generally accepted accounting principles.
