Results; Revenue Up 41 Percent Year-Over-Year and
11 Percent Sequentially

 

 

•                  Record revenue of $45.3 million in the first quarter increased 41% from $32.0 million in the first quarter of 2003, and increased 11% over $40.8 million in the previous quarter

•                  Record GAAP net income in the first quarter of $6.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, improved from $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2003

•                  Record pro forma* net income of $7.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share; increased 195% from $2.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2003

 

*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 merger-related and restructuring expenses, and non-cash expenses for amortization of purchased developed technology, and stock-based compensation and amortization of assembled workforce.  A schedule reconciling these amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 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.

 

 

Tualatin, Ore., April 19, 2004 — Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PXLW), a leading provider of system-on-a-chip ICs for the advanced display industry, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004.

 

Revenue for the first quarter of 2004 was $45.3 million, a 41 percent increase over revenue of $32.0 million in the first quarter of 2003 and an 11 percent increase over revenue of $40.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2003.

 

Net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the first quarter of 2004 was a record $6.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared with net income of $248,000 or $0.01 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2003 and net income of $2.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2003.  First quarter 2004 GAAP results include non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation, amortization of assembled workforce, and amortization of acquired developed technology of approximately $417,000 (excluded for pro forma reporting purposes).

 

Pro forma net income in the first quarter of 2004 was a record $7.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, which increased from pro forma net income of $2.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2003 and pro forma net income of $5.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2003.

 

“Clearly, we were very pleased with our first quarter financial results as they exceeded even the high end of our expectations,” said Allen Alley, President, CEO, and Chairman of Pixelworks.  “Our record revenue and net income was led by growth in our advanced television business, which was up 28 percent sequentially and 283 percent year-over-year.  Within our advanced television business we experienced across-the-board sequential revenue growth from LCD, plasma, and digital CRT television manufacturers with LCD TV business growing the fastest at 58 percent sequentially and 468 percent year-over-year,” added Alley.  “The first quarter was a great start to what we believe will be a solid year of growth for us in 2004,” concluded Alley.

 

 

Business Outlook for Second Quarter 2004

 

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, 2004.  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 net income per share in the second quarter of 2004 will be $0.10 to $0.12 on a GAAP basis and $0.11 to $0.13 on a pro forma basis, based on the following estimates:

 

 

•                  Revenue of $47.0 to $49.0 million, a year-over-year increase of 44 to 50 percent. 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 47.0 to 49.0 percent. Pro forma gross profit margin, which excludes an estimated $132,000 in non-cash expense for the amortization of acquired developed technology, of 47.3 to 49.3 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 $14.5 to $15.0 million.

•                  Non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation and amortization of assembled workforce of approximately $300,000 (excluded for pro forma reporting purposes).

•                  Interest income of approximately $250,000.

•                  Effective tax rate of 34 to 36 percent of net income before income taxes on both a GAAP and pro forma basis.

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 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.
