Pixelworks Reports First Quarter 2010 Financial Results
73% Increase in Revenue Year over Year
Portland, Ore., April 22, 2010— Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PXLW), an innovative provider of powerful video and pixel processing technology, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
First quarter 2010 revenue was $18.7 million, in the mid-range of management guidance for the quarter. Revenue for the 2010 first quarter decreased 3% sequentially from $19.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and was up 73% from $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2009.
On a GAAP basis, gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2010 was 46.3%, down slightly from 46.6% in the fourth quarter of 2009, and up significantly from 38.6% in the first quarter of 2009 due to better overhead cost absorption. First quarter 2010 GAAP operating expenses were $9.2 million, down from $9.4 million in the previous quarter, and up from $8.7 million in the first quarter of 2009 due to increased spending on new product development. The Company recorded GAAP net income of $4.6 million, or $0.32 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2010, compared to GAAP net loss of $(0.8) million, or $(0.06) per share in the fourth quarter of 2009 and GAAP net income of $5.9 million, or $0.44 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009. As anticipated, GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2010 included a tax benefit of $5.3 million, which resulted primarily from the expiration of previously recorded tax contingencies. A similar $1.6 million GAAP tax benefit was recognized in the first quarter of 2009. First quarter 2009 GAAP net income also included a $9.0 million gain on the repurchase of debt.
On a non-GAAP basis, first quarter 2010 gross profit margin was 49.4%, down from 50.0% in the fourth quarter of 2009, and up from 45.4% in the first quarter of 2009. First quarter 2010 operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis were $8.9 million, compared with $9.2 million in the previous quarter, and $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, net income in the first quarter of 2010 was $5.2 million, or $0.37 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2009, and non-GAAP net loss of $(2.0) million, or $(0.15) per share in the first quarter of 2009. As expected, first quarter 2010 non-GAAP net income included a $5.0 million tax benefit.

| * | Our non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share differs from GAAP gross profit, GAAP operating expenses, GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) per share due to the exclusion of gains on the repurchase of long-term debt, restructuring charges, acquisition-related items, stock-based compensation expense and additional amortization of a non-cancelable prepaid royalty. Pixelworks’ management believes the presentation of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share provides useful information to investors regarding Pixelworks’ results of operations by allowing investors to better evaluate underlying cash flow dynamics. Pixelworks’ management also uses each of these non-GAAP measures internally to better evaluate underlying cash flow dynamics. Pixelworks, however, cautions investors to consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our GAAP financial measures. |
