Silicon Image (SIMG) Continues Revenue and Earnings Growth in the Third Quarter

Oct. 26, 2010 (Business Wire) — Silicon Image, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIMG), a leader in advanced, interoperable HD connectivity solutions for consumer electronics, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was $60.5 million, compared to $44.6 million for the second quarter of 2010 and $37.2 million for the third quarter of 2009. Revenue for the third quarter of 2010 includes the benefit of a $7.5 million royalty revenue catch-up. Excluding the royalty revenue catch-up, our revenue for the quarter would have been $53.0 million.

GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $9.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010 and net loss of $15.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009.

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $13.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $2.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010 and non-GAAP net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net income (loss) for these periods exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, certain professional fees, and net tax adjustments. A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP items is provided in a table following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

“Silicon Image experienced another positive quarter,” said Camillo Martino, chief executive officer of Silicon Image, Inc. “Our standards-plus product strategy continues to drive sales in our core DTV and Home Theater segments, in particular our revenue in Japan grew 38% quarter over quarter. We continue to make progress with the MHL standard as demonstrated by the recent announcement of our first MHL-enabled products. We are currently sampling products with customers and are on track to achieve our design-win goals for 2011.”

The following are Silicon Image’s financial performance estimates for the fourth quarter of 2010:

Revenue: $46 million – $48 million

Gross margin: 55% – 56%

GAAP operating expenses: approximately $26 million

Non-GAAP operating expenses: approximately $24 million

Interest income: approximately $0.5 million

Diluted shares outstanding: approximately 78.5 million

Non-GAAP tax rate: approximately 2% of revenue

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 and goodwill impairment 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: We provide non-GAAP information relative to our expense for stock-based compensation. We began to include stock-based compensation expense in our GAAP financial measures in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“FASB ASC Topic 718”) since January 2006. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types, which affect the calculations of stock-based compensation, we believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation allows for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to our peer companies. Stock-based compensation is very different from other forms of compensation. The expense associated with granting an employee a stock option is spread over multiple years unlike other compensation expenses which are more proximate to the time of award or payment. For example, we may recognize expense on a stock option in a year in which the stock option is significantly underwater and typically would not be exercised or would not generate any compensation for the employee. The expense associated with an award of a stock option for 1,000 shares of stock by us in one quarter, for example, may have a very different expense than an award of an identical number of shares in a different quarter. Further, the expense recognized by us for such an option may be very different than the expense recognized by other companies for the award of a comparable option. This makes it difficult to assess our operating performance relative to our competitors. Because of these unique characteristics of stock-based compensation, management excludes these expenses when analyzing the organization’s business performance.
(2)		Amortization of Intangible Assets: We exclude the amortization of purchased intangible assets associated with our acquisitions. Such amortization results in our recording expenses in our GAAP financial statements that were already expensed by the acquired company before the acquisition. 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, acquisitions result in non-continuing operating expenses, which would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our business operations. We believe that providing non-GAAP information for this item 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)		This adjustment represents the professional fees we incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2009 associated with a potential strategic acquisition which we evaluated and decided not to pursue. As this was a one-time expense and that this unique transaction limits the comparability of our on-going operations with prior and future periods, we believe that this expense does not accurately reflect the underlying performance of our continuing operations in the period in which this expense was incurred. We believe that providing non-GAAP information for this item 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.
(4)		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) impairment charges. It is difficult to estimate the amount or timing of these items in advance. Restructuring and impairment 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. 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.
(5)		Tax adjustments: For fiscal year 2010, we expect our Non-GAAP tax rate to approximate 2% of revenue. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, and the three months ended June 30, 2010, we used a non-GAAP tax rate of 2% of revenue. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we used a non-GAAP tax rate of 25% of non-GAAP pretax income. Our non-GAAP tax rate is primarily based on our net expected cash flow for taxes.
