Pixelworks Reports Third Quarter 2002 Financial Results; Record Revenue Up 9 Percent Sequentially and 12 Percent Year-Over-Year

TUALATIN, Ore., Oct 17, 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 third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2002.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2002 was $26.9 million, a 12 percent increase over revenue of $24.1 million in the third quarter of 2001 and 9 percent increase from $24.6 million in the second quarter of 2002.

Net loss in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the third quarter was ($5.1) million, or ($0.12) per share compared to a net loss of ($3.0) million, or ($0.07) per share, in the third quarter of 2001 and net income of $1.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2002. The net loss in the third quarter of 2002 included a one-time $6.3 million charge for in-process R&D expense resulting from the acquisition of Jaldi Semiconductor, which was completed in the third quarter.

Pro forma net income for the third quarter was $2.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share compared to pro forma net income of $3.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2001 and pro forma net income of $1.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2002. Pro forma net income (loss), which differs from net income (loss) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), excludes non-cash charges for amortization of purchased 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 are pleased to report another quarter of record revenue and bookings despite a very difficult economic environment. In particular, we had another quarter of very strong revenue growth in advanced television business, which grew 32 percent sequentially. This rapid growth has resulted in advanced TV revenue going from under five percent of total revenue just a few quarters ago to 20 percent of revenue in the third quarter," said Allen Alley, president, CEO, and chairman of Pixelworks.

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 Sept. 30, 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 company estimates fourth quarter 2002 revenue will be $27.5 to $29.5 million. 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 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 $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 $875,000 in the fourth quarter of 2002.
  • The company expects interest income of approximately $525,000 in the fourth quarter of 2002. This estimate is dependent on no material change to average cash balances and interest rates from those at September 30, 2002.
  • The company expects the tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2002 to be 10 to 15 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 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
