FISCAL 2004 RESULTS
SUNNYVALE, Calif. – August 20, 2003 – OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq NM:OVTI) reported that in the three months ended July 31, 2003, the first quarter of its fiscal year ending April 30, 2004, it earned $6.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, on revenues of $46.5 million, compared to net income of $1.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, on revenues of $16.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
For the three months ended July 31, 2003, gross profit was $17.4 million, or 37.3% of revenues, and included approximately $343,000 from the sale of previously written-off inventory. Without the sale of previously written-off inventory, gross margin would have been 36.9%, and net income would have been approximately $6.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share. In the comparable period a year ago, gross profit was $6.5 million, or 38.8% of revenues, and included approximately $795,000 from the sale of previously written-off inventory; without the sale of previously written-off inventory, first-quarter fiscal 2003 gross margin would have been 35.8%, and net income would have been approximately $947,000, or $0.04 per diluted share.
Direct sales to original equipment manufacturers and value-added resellers accounted for approximately 61% of revenues, with the balance of approximately 39% coming from sales through the Company’s distributors. Research and development expenses were $3.6 million, or 7.7% of revenues, compared to $3.3 million, or 8.3% of revenues, in the prior quarter. Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses were $4.5 million, or 9.7% of revenues, compared to $3.1 million, or 7.8% of revenues, in the prior quarter.
In July 2003, the Company sold 3,093,226 shares of common stock at a price of $38.75 per share for net proceeds of approximately $113.9 million. As of July 31, 2003, the Company had $181 million in cash and short-term investments, $197 million in working capital, no debt, and stockholders’ equity of $218 million.
For the quarter ending October 31, 2003, the Company currently expects to report earnings in a range of $0.22 to $0.23 per diluted share, on revenues of $48 to $50 million; these expectations do not presume the sale of any previously written-off inventory.
