ZORAN CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2010 RESULTS
Sunnyvale, Calif. — July 26, 2010 — Zoran Corporation (Nasdaq: ZRAN), a leading provider of digital solutions for applications in the digital entertainment and digital imaging markets, today reported results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Revenues for the second quarter were $93.4 million, compared to $90.5 million last quarter and $102.7 million for the second quarter of 2009. The Company reported a second quarter GAAP net loss of $6.7 million, or $0.13 per share, which compares with a GAAP net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.08 per share, for the previous quarter and a GAAP net loss of $13.8 million, or $0.27 per share, for the second quarter of the prior year.
Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter was $4.0 million, or $0.08 per share, which excludes $109 thousand of amortization of acquired intangible assets, $2.4 million of stock-based compensation expenses, but includes an adjustment of $100 thousand for the tax provision to a non-GAAP rate. This compares with non-GAAP net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.03 per share, for the previous quarter, and a non-GAAP net loss of $4.3 million, or $0.08 per share for the same period last year.
During the quarter, the Company repurchased 2.1 million shares of its outstanding common stock for approximately $20 million in accordance with its stock repurchase program.
“The results of the second quarter were mixed, with digital cameras once again out-performing expectations, while DTV continued to face challenges,” said Dr. Levy Gerzberg, president and chief executive officer of Zoran. “Our outlook for DTV for the remainder of the year has been substantially reduced, primarily due to customer program delays and customer share loss to tier-1 brands. We believe our leading edge Frame-Rate-Conversion solution as well as our internet connected SOCs, which started shipping with a tier-1 DTV manufacturer during the quarter, will drive additional customer wins in the future. In digital cameras, we believe we are gaining market share and are seeing new opportunities for
growth in segments such as DSLR and HD video recording. Printer Imaging is recovering and we are beginning to ship our highly-integrated Blu Ray solution.”

Future Outlook
The following forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, and actual results may differ materially.
The Company is currently expecting third quarter 2010 revenues to range between $98 million and $103 million, with gross margins ranging between 51 and 52 percent. Excluding acquisition-related amortization costs and stock-based compensation expense, non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in a range of $52 million to $54 million. Acquisition-related amortization costs are expected to be approximately $109 thousand and stock-based compensation expense is expected to range between $2.3 million and $2.8 million. The Company expects to record a third quarter GAAP loss in the range of $0.09 to $0.11 per share on approximately 50 million shares. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes acquisition-related
amortization costs and stock-based compensation expenses, the Company expects to record a third quarter loss of $0.03 to $0.06 per share.
Zoran will provide more commentary on its second quarter results during the quarterly conference call.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Zoran provides non-GAAP financial information, consisting of non-GAAP operating expense and non-GAAP net income (loss) and EPS that excludes charges such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expense, non-recurring litigation settlements and associated income tax adjustments. Non-GAAP results are reconciled to GAAP results on the attached Schedule.
The Company believes that its non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because it excludes items that management considers to be outside of the Company’s core operating results. The Company believes that this non-GAAP net income (loss), in combination with the Company’s financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provides investors with additional perspective and a more meaningful understanding of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. In addition, the Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to review and assess the financial performance of the Company, to determine executive officer incentive compensation, and to plan and forecast performance in future periods. The Company’s non-GAAP net income (loss) is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not an alternative to GAAP financial information, and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies.

These forward-looking statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from what is currently expected, including risks associated with: the Company’s loss of market share in the DTV market; the Company’s ability to acquire new, and increase its business from current, customers, particularly in the DTV market; potential declines in the Company’s sales as a result of the continuing global economic slowdown that could continue to reduce demand for consumer electronic and other products; continued tightening in global credit markets, which could result in insolvency of key suppliers, customers, or retailers and customer inability to finance purchases of our products; the rapidly evolving markets for the Company’s products and uncertainty regarding the pace and direction of development of those markets; the impact of further ASP declines, particularly in the DTV market; the Company’s dependence on sales to a limited number of large customers; cost and length of time required for new product development; timing and impact of new product introductions by the Company and its competitors, and of transitions away from older products; intense competition in the Company’s markets and in the markets in which its customers operate; the Company’s reliance on other parties for wafer supplies, product assembly and testing, and manufacturing
capacity; the effects of changes in revenue and product mix on the Company’s gross margins; fluctuations in tax rate caused by projections of the geographic sources of Company income; dependence on key personnel; and reliance on international operations, particularly operations in Israel.
