Silicon Image Announces First Quarter 2012 Earnings


SUNNYVALE, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

Silicon Image, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIMG), a leading provider of wireless and wired HD connectivity solutions, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2012 was $55.0 million, compared to $58.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 and $49.0 million for the first quarter of 2011.

"Our strong results were driven by continued growth in our mobile business, and we are pleased to see our MHL-enabled products achieve design wins in mobile, CE products and PC monitors," said Camillo Martino, chief executive officer of Silicon Image (News - Alert), Inc. "We also continued to make progress with our 60GHz low-latency, gigabit wireless video solutions as our third generation of products have been sampled to our key customers for CE applications, and we are currently on track to sample our mobile-oriented wireless product towards the end of this year."

GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $9.6 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to a net loss of $10.2 million, or $0.12 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2011 and a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.01 per share, for the first quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $0.8 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net income of $4.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2011 and a net income of $2.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP net income for these periods excludes stock-based compensation expense, impairment of intangible assets, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, business acquisition related expenses and reversal of a subsidiary's foreign currency translation adjustment.

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

Silicon Image announced that its Board has authorized the repurchase of its common stock to an aggregate purchase of $50 million. The repurchases may occur from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions; provided that the repurchases are made in accordance with the terms of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing and amount of any repurchase of shares will be determined by the company, based on its evaluation of market conditions, cash on hand and other factors, and may be made under a plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

"We believe it is the right time to initiate a share repurchase plan and opportunistically repurchase shares to partially offset dilution. Further, it demonstrates our commitment to our shareholders and our confidence in our business going forward," said Mr. Martino.

The authorization will stay in effect until the authorized aggregate amount is expended or the authorization is modified by the Board of Directors. The program does not obligate the company to acquire any particular amount of stock and purchases under the program may be commenced or suspended at any time, or from time to time, without prior notice. Further the stock repurchase program may be modified, extended or terminated by the Board at any time.

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





Revenue: $60 million - $62 million

Gross Margin: 57% - 58%

GAAP operating expenses: $36 million - $37 million

Non-GAAP operating expenses: approximately $32.5 million
Diluted shares outstanding: approximately 85 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, impairment of intangible assets, 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, (ii) impairment charges and (iii) reversal of a subsidiary's foreign currency translation adjustment. 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. 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 (News - Alert). 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.

Tax adjustments: For the three months ended March 31, 2012, our non-GAAP tax rate was approximately 30% of non-GAAP pre-tax loss. For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and March 31, 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. At the beginning of year 2012, the full fiscal year 2012 non-GAAP effective tax rate expected from our non-GAAP pre-tax income was estimated to be 30%.
