TUALATIN, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 26, 2007--Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PXLW), an innovative provider of powerful video and pixel processing technology, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Second quarter 2007 revenue of $26.9 million increased 12.2 percent sequentially from $24.0 million in the first quarter of 2007, and decreased 13.0 percent from $30.9 million in the second quarter of 2006. The sequential increase in revenue was due primarily to strength in the company's core projector business and shipments of legacy products.

Second quarter 2007 GAAP gross profit margin was 43.1 percent compared to 41.1 percent in the first quarter of 2007 and 37.5 percent in the second quarter of 2006. Cost of sales included restructuring charges and non-cash expenses of $0.8 million in each of the first and second quarters of 2007 as well as the second quarter of 2006. Second quarter 2007 non-GAAP gross profit margin was 46.0 percent, an improvement over 44.5 percent in the first quarter of 2007 and 40.0 percent in the second quarter of 2006. The sequential improvement in non-GAAP gross profit margin resulted primarily from lower material costs and a more favorable mix of products sold.

Second quarter 2007 GAAP operating expenses were $19.4 million, down $3.0 million from $22.4 million in the first quarter of 2007. Second quarter GAAP operating expenses included $2.6 million in restructuring charges and $1.5 million in non-cash expenses, and first quarter GAAP operating expenses included $2.8 million in restructuring charges and $1.8 million in non-cash expenses. GAAP operating expenses in the second quarter of 2006 totaled $157.5 million, and included non-cash charges of $136.2 million for an impairment loss on goodwill and other non-cash expenses, as well as $0.9 million in restructuring charges.

Non-GAAP operating expenses of $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2007 were down $2.5 million from $17.8 million in the first quarter of 2007, and down $5.1 million from $20.4 million in the second quarter of 2006. The significant decrease in GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses was a direct result of the accelerated implementation of the company's restructuring plans, which are focused on returning the company to profitability.

Second quarter 2007 GAAP net loss was $(7.6) million, or $(0.16) per share, compared to $(12.4) million, or $(0.25) per share in the first quarter of 2007 and $(145.6) million, or $(3.02) per share in the second quarter of 2006. Second quarter 2007 non-GAAP net loss was $(2.7) million, or $(0.06) per share, compared to $(7.0) million, or $(0.14) per share in the first quarter of 2007 and $(7.7) million, or $(0.16) per share in the second quarter of 2006.

"We are proud of the progress we have made during the second quarter and we achieved our goal of being non-GAAP EBITDA positive well ahead of our timeline. We are realizing the benefits of our ongoing restructuring efforts that have reduced Pixelworks' quarterly non-GAAP operating expenses by 20 percent over the course of the first half of 2007," said Hans Olsen, President and CEO of Pixelworks, Inc.

"The ongoing focus of the management team is on maintaining our momentum in an effort to move the company back to profitability. We believe we will achieve this by continuing to seek out further operating efficiencies in the company while simultaneously developing and delivering exciting video and pixel processing products to market. We have a number of products in the pipeline that we believe will enable us to maintain our leadership in the digital projector market and will open doors to new markets for our pixel processing technologies," concluded Olsen.

Business Outlook for Third Quarter 2007

The following statements are based on the company's 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, mergers or acquisitions that may be completed after June 30, 2007 or other future events. 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.

The company estimates the net loss per share in the third quarter of 2007 will be $(0.07) to $(0.13) on a GAAP basis and $(0.00) to $(0.05) on a non-GAAP basis, based on the following estimates:

  • The company anticipates third quarter revenue of $26.5 million to $28.5 million. Revenue is highly dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, consumer confidence and spending, seasonality in the consumer electronics market, general economic conditions, the company's ability to secure additional design wins, timely customer transition to new product designs, new product introductions, production yields, growth rates in the advanced television, multimedia projector, flat panel monitor and advanced media processor markets, levels of inventory at distributors and customers, and supply of products from third party foundries.
  • GAAP gross profit margin of approximately 41.5 to 43.5 percent. Non-GAAP gross profit margin of approximately 44.0 to 46.0 percent, which excludes an estimated $0.8 million for the amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring charges and stock-based compensation. Gross profit margin 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 product mix, new product yields, and inventory and warranty reserve changes.
  • GAAP operating expenses of $16.1 million to $17.6 million and non-GAAP operating expenses of $13.5 million to $14.5 million. Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude approximately $2.6 million to $3.1 million in expenses for stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and amortization of acquired intangible assets.
  • Interest and other income, net of approximately $550,000 on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.
  • A tax provision of approximately $300,000 on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.
