Pixelworks Revises Second Quarter 2003 Tax Provision As a Result of Termination of Merger Agreement With Genesis Microchip

TUALATIN, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14, 2003--Pixelworks, Inc. (Nasdaq:PXLW), a leading provider of system-on-a-chip ICs for the advanced display industry, today announced that it has revised its second quarter 2003 tax provision from the amount reported on July 16, 2003 in the Company's second quarter earnings release. The revision is due to merger-related expenses that became deductible for tax purposes upon the termination of the merger agreement with Genesis Microchip.

Relative to previously announced financial results for the second quarter of 2003, the Company's tax provision decreased to $351,000 from $970,000. Accordingly, net income in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) in the second quarter of 2003 was $420,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, which compared to a previously reported net loss of ($199,000), or ($0.00) per basic and diluted share. There was no change to pro forma financial results for the second quarter.

The Company also announced that it will enter into a contract with its subsidiary in Canada that will enable the Company to benefit on a tax basis from research and development expenses incurred in Canada. Implementation of this contract had been delayed as a result of the pending merger. Upon termination of the merger agreement, the business reasons for entering into the contract again became appropriate. This contract will result in a one-time tax provision charge of approximately $1.0 million in the third quarter, but will offer long-term benefits by reducing the Company's effective tax rate in future periods.

Because merger-related expenses are now deductible for tax purposes, the Company expects to have tax provisions that are different for GAAP and pro forma purposes for the remainder of 2003. The Company expects the tax provision on a GAAP basis to be approximately 23 to 27 percent of income before taxes in 2003, before the one-time approximately $1.0 million tax provision charge in the third quarter. On a pro forma basis, the Company expects the tax provision to be approximately 34 to 38 percent of pro forma income before income taxes, before the one-time $1.0 million tax provision charge in the third quarter.

Pro forma income (loss) before income taxes represents income (loss) before income taxes excluding merger-related expenses and non-cash expenses for the amortization of developed technology, amortization of 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 GAAP.

The GAAP and pro forma financial statements for the second quarter of 2003, as well as a detailed reconciliation between GAAP and pro forma net income (loss), is included in this press release.

The above pro forma financial statements are presented for
informational purposes only. Our presentation of pro forma financial
information excludes non-cash expenses resulting from acquisitions and
the issuance of stock options, as well as unusual or infrequent
expenses that are not directly attributable to our ongoing operations
and are expected to be incurred over a limited period of time.
Because of these exclusions, our presentation is not in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP). Additionally, our presentation of pro forma financial
information may not be consistent with that of other companies.

We believe that the exclusion of intangible non-cash charges may
help the investor better understand our liquidity position and the use
of tangible resources in our operations, and the exclusion of unusual
or infrequent items provides an alternative measure which may help the
investor evaluate our underlying operating performance. Pro forma
information is not, and should not be considered, a substitute for
financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
