Silicon Image Announces Third Quarter 2012 Earnings

Non-GAAP EPS Grows 83% Year-over-Year

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Silicon Image, Inc. (NAS: SIMG) , a leading provider of HD connectivity solutions, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2012.


Revenue for the third quarter of 2012 was $73.9 million, a 16% increase from $63.8 million in the second quarter of 2012 and a 24% increase from revenue of $59.7 million in the third quarter of 2011.

"We are proud of our execution this quarter," said Camillo Martino, Chief Executive Officer of Silicon Image, Inc. "Earnings growth has been robust in our seasonally strongest quarter. Mobile continues to be our key growth driver as MHL® technology gains momentum across top tier phone and tablet manufacturers. We remain on track with our 60 GHz WirelessHD technology and expect to sample mobile-oriented ICs late this year."

GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $7.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $0.9 million, or $0.01 per share, for the second quarter of 2012 and a net income of $0.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $8.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with a net income of $4.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012 and a net income of $5.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP net income for these periods excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, business acquisition related expenses and reversal of a subsidiary's foreign currency translation adjustment.

During the quarter, pursuant to the share repurchase plan announced in April 2012, Silicon Image repurchased approximately 271 thousand shares of its common stock for approximately $1.3 million. The company's cash balance as of September 30, 2012 was $145.3 million.

"Our revenue outlook for the fourth quarter reflects growth on a year-over-year basis," said Mr. Martino. "While the 2012 fourth quarter outlook reflects a seasonal decline which is higher than our typical 5-10%, our product revenues in the first quarter of 2013, in a departure from the typical pattern, are expected to be flat to modestly up, compared with our fourth quarter 2012 guidance."

A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP items is provided in a table following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following are Silicon Image's financial performance estimates for the fourth quarter of 2012:

Revenue: approximately $64 million to $67 million
Gross Margin: approximately 58% to 59%
GAAP operating expenses: approximately $35 million to $36 million
Non-GAAP operating expenses: approximately $32 million to $33 million
Diluted shares outstanding: approximately 83 million
Non-GAAP tax rate: approximately 30% of non-GAAP pre-tax income

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Silicon Image presents and discusses gross margin, operating expenses, net income (loss) and basic and diluted net income (loss) per share in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and on a non-GAAP basis for informational purposes only. Silicon Image believes that non-GAAP reporting, giving effect to the adjustments shown in the attached reconciliation, provides meaningful information and therefore uses non-GAAP reporting to supplement its GAAP reporting and internally in evaluating operations, managing and monitoring performance, and determining bonus compensation. Further, Silicon Image uses non-GAAP information as certain non-cash charges such as amortization of intangibles, stock based compensation, restructuring charges, business acquisition related expenses and reversal of a subsidiary's foreign currency translation adjustment do not reflect the cash operating results of the business. Silicon Image has chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of its operating results and to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to such non-GAAP adjustments. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(1)

Stock-Based Compensation Related Items: Stock-based compensation expense relates primarily to equity awards, such as stock options and restricted stock units. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is dependent on market forces that are often beyond our control. As such, management excludes this item from our internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that non-GAAP measures adjusted for stock-based compensation provide investors with a basis to measure our core performance against the performance of other companies without the variability created by stock-based compensation as a result of the variety of equity awards used by companies and the varying methodologies and subjective assumptions used in determining such non-cash expense.

(2)

Business Strategic Initiative and Acquisition Related Items: We exclude certain expense items resulting from our business strategic initiative and acquisitions including the following, when applicable: (i) amortization of purchased intangible assets associated with our acquisitions; or relating to our unconsolidated affiliates and (ii) business strategic initiative and acquisition-related charges. The amortization of purchased intangible assets associated with our acquisitions results in our recording expenses in our GAAP financial statements that were already expensed by the acquired company before the acquisition and for which we have not expended cash. Moreover, had we internally developed the products acquired, the amortization of intangible assets, and the expenses of uncompleted research and development would have been expensed in prior periods. Accordingly, we analyze the performance of our operations in each period without regard to such expenses. In addition, our business strategic initiatives and acquisitions result in non-continuing operating expenses, which would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our business operations. During January 2012, we established a research and development center in Hyderabad, India, whereby we hired 75 employees from our subcontractor and had to incur a onetime fee of approximately $3.056 million towards acquiring these employees. We will amortize this fee over the first two quarters of 2012 amounting to $1,528 million per quarter. We do not expect a fee of similar nature to be paid in our normal course of business and consider it infrequent and non-recurring. We believe that providing non-GAAP information for business strategic initiative and acquisition-related expense items in addition to the corresponding GAAP information allows the users of our financial statements to better review and understand the historic and current results of our continuing operations, and also facilitates comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies.

(3)

Other Items: We exclude certain other items that are the result of either unique or unplanned events including the following, when applicable: (i) restructuring and related costs and (ii) reversal of a subsidiary's foreign currency translation adjustment. It is difficult to estimate the amount or timing of these items in advance. Restructuring charges result from events which arise from unforeseen circumstances, which often occur outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations. Although these events are reflected in our GAAP financials, these unique transactions may limit the comparability of our on-going operations with prior and future periods. As such, we believe that these expenses do not accurately reflect the underlying performance of our continuing operations for the period in which they are incurred. Reversal of a subsidiary's foreign currency translation adjustment relates to the reversal from accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) to income of the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment of our wholly owned subsidiary in Germany whose facilities and offices had been substantially liquidated during 2010. Our decision to take the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment to income was based on the provisions of FASB ASC. No. 830-30-40, which states that currency translation adjustment should not be released from accumulated OCI into income until complete or substantially complete liquidation of an investment in a foreign entity. As this was a one-time income and that this unique transaction limits the comparability of our on-going operations with prior and future periods, we believe that this income does not accurately reflect the underlying performance of our continuing operations in the period in which this income was incurred. We assess our operating performance both with these amounts included and excluded, and by providing this information, we believe the users of our financial statements are better able to understand the financial results of what we consider our continuing operations.

(4)

Tax adjustments: For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and for the three months ended June 30, 2012, our non-GAAP tax rate was approximately 30% of non-GAAP pre-tax income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, our non-GAAP tax rate was approximately 18% of non-GAAP pre-tax income. Non-GAAP tax rate is primarily based on net expected cash flow for income taxes.
