Pixelworks Reports First Quarter 2005 Financial Results

TUALATIN, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 28, 2005--Pixelworks, Inc. (Nasdaq:PXLW):

-- Revenue of $40.3 million in the first quarter decreased 11% from $45.3 million in the first quarter of 2004, and increased 5% over $38.5 million in the previous quarter.

-- Record advanced television revenue increased 13% sequentially and 36% year-over-year.

-- GAAP net income in the first quarter was $836,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, pro forma(a) net income was $1.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.

(a) Pro forma gross profit, income before income taxes, and net income, which differs from gross profit, income before income taxes, and net income in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), excludes non-cash expenses for amortization of purchased developed technology, stock-based compensation and amortization of assembled workforce. A schedule reconciling these amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 is included in this news release. Pixelworks' management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding Pixelworks' results of operations as these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to better evaluate ongoing business performance. Pixelworks' management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to monitor performance of the business. Pixelworks, however, cautions investors to consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Pixelworks, Inc. (Nasdaq:PXLW), a leading provider of system-on-chip ICs for the advanced display industry, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2005 was $40.3 million, an 11 percent decrease from revenue of $45.3 million in the first quarter of 2004 and a 5 percent increase over revenue of $38.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the first quarter of 2005 was $836,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with net income of $6.6 million or $0.14 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2004 and net income of $4.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2004. GAAP results include non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation, amortization of assembled workforce, and amortization of acquired developed technology which, together, totaled approximately $269,000 in the first quarter of 2005 and $417,000 in the first quarter of 2004 (excluded for pro forma reporting purposes).

Pro forma net income in the first quarter of 2005 was $1.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, which decreased from pro forma net income of $7.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2004 and pro forma net income of $4.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2004.

"We were pleased that first quarter revenues came in above our January outlook as better than expected growth in advanced television and LCD monitor business more than offset a decline in projector revenues that was greater than we had forecasted," said Allen Alley, President, CEO and Chairman of Pixelworks. "We continue to believe the advanced television business will continue to grow as a percentage of our revenues and holds great promise for future growth."

Business Outlook for Second Quarter 2005

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 March 31, 2005. 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 net income per share in the second quarter of 2005 will be $0.00 to $0.02 on a GAAP basis and $0.01 to $0.03 on a pro forma basis, based on the following estimates:

-- Revenue of $40.0 to $43.0 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.

-- GAAP gross profit margin of 41.0 to 43.0 percent. Pro forma gross profit margin, which excludes an estimated $132,000 in non-cash expense for the amortization of acquired developed technology, of 41.3 to 43.3 percent. 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 changes in estimated product mix.

-- R&D and SG&A expenses, combined, of $17.0 to $17.5 million.

-- Non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation and amortization of assembled workforce of approximately $125,000 (excluded for pro forma reporting purposes).

-- Interest income of approximately $900,000.

-- Effective tax rate of 22 to 26 percent of net income before income taxes on a pro forma basis and 24 to 28 percent of net income before taxes on a GAAP basis. Both the pro forma and GAAP effective tax rates are subject to significant variation on an ongoing basis due to changes in the level of income before taxes, research and development tax credits, and other factors.

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 U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Additionally, our
presentation of pro forma financial information may not be consistent
with that of other companies.

We believe that the exclusion of 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.
