Santa Clara, Calif., — August 7, 2007: Trident Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRID), a leading provider of digital TV technology for the consumer digital video marketplace, today announced that it achieved net revenues of $70,593,000 for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2007, ending June 30, 2007, representing a sequential increase of 17% from the $60,579,000 reported in the March quarter and a 33% year over year increase from the $52,882,000 reported in the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The Company announced net revenues for all of fiscal 2007 of $270,795,000, a year over year increase of 58% from the $171,442,000 reported for fiscal 2006.
Net income of $6,650,000 was recorded in the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2007, on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, or $0.10 per share on a diluted basis, which included expenses of $4,467,000 for amortization of stock based compensation, $1,653,000 charged to cost of revenues relating to amortization of intangibles and $3,756,000 of legal and accounting expenses related to the Company’s stock option investigation. This compares to net income on a GAAP basis of $7,753,000, or $0.12 per share on a diluted basis, in the June 30, 2006 quarter, which included expenses of $3,356,000 for amortization of stock based compensation, and $1,523,000 for amortization of intangibles.
Non-GAAP net income in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $16,526,000, or $ 0.26 per share on a diluted basis, and excludes the items noted above. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $12,683,000, or $0.20 per share on a diluted basis, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.
Net income of $30,118,000 was recorded for the year ended June 30, 2007, on a GAAP basis, or $0.48 per share on a diluted basis. This compares to net income on a GAAP basis of $ 26,176,000, or $ 0.42 per share, on a diluted basis for the year ended June 30, 2006. For the year ended June 30, 2007, non-GAAP net income was $68,931,000, or $1.09 per share on a diluted basis, which excludes $15,606,000 for amortization of stock based compensation, $6,345,000 charged to cost of revenues relating to amortization of intangibles and $ 16,761,000 of legal and accounting expenses related to the Company’s stock option investigation, $127,000 related to bonuses paid to compensate for increasing stock option exercise prices related to IRS Code Section 409A and $216,000 for gains on the sale of an investment and a $190,000 charge resulting from an adjustment to the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $43,568,000, or $0.70 per fully diluted share, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, which excludes expenses of $13,182,000 for amortization of stock based compensation, $5,469,000 for amortization of intangibles and $560,000 from a loss on investments, as well as
$1,819,000 in income from the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 123R. A reconciliation between net income on a GAAP basis and non-GAAP net income/loss is provided in a table following the non-GAAP consolidated statement of operations.
“We are pleased to announce that we are again able to report our full financial results to you today. We filed our Form 10-K for fiscal 2006 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today, which includes our restated financials, findings and financial adjustments following our extensive stock option investigation. We reported a cumulative net charge of approximately $56 million covering 14 years of stock option activity. We view this filing as a significant milestone and as a signal that we are beginning to move ahead, focused on continued growth and development of our business,” said Mr. John Edmunds, Trident’s CFO.
The Company ended the June 2007 quarter with $70.6 million of revenues, a sequential increase of 17% from the March quarter and in line with its expectations.
Revenues from top-tier OEMs, Sony, Samsung, Sharp and Philips, continue to account for the majority of the total revenues, collectively representing approximately 85% for the recently concluded quarter.
In the June quarter, all of the Company’s new products, including SVP™ UX, SVP™ WX, SVP™ PXP, and SVP™ CX, ramped up and the total volume accounted for 61% of total shipments. Shipments of SVP™ UX and SVP™ WX, the Company’s ME/MC enabled technology, represented 39% of revenues for the quarter. The SVP™ UX and SVP™ WX are the world’s first display processor chips to have integrated motion-estimation motion-compensation (ME/MC) technology to remove motion-judder artifacts from motion video. In the June quarter, the Company began sampling a second generation ME/MC which is integrated into a new SVP™ WX 170 product that includes a high speed 170MHz ADC. “The SVP-WX 170 has been well received by all of our top-tier OEM customers as we have made significant strides in pushing the envelope of integrated ME/MC video quality,” said Dr. JH Chang, Trident’s President.
On the digital front, the Company recently received its next generation digital SOC product family back from the foundry, comprised of the HiDTV™ Pro UX, HiDTV™ Pro WX and HiDTV™ Pro QX products. This product family will feature integrated HDMI 1.3, 170MHz ADC, second-generation ME/MC technology for 100/120Hz in a single chip, and SOC 90nm technology. “We are beginning to sample our new digital SOC chip with customers this month. With our strong market position in Full HD 1080P technology, now further extended by our lead in integrated ME/MC technology and a new digital SOC, we believe that a significant percentage of mid-range and high-end models manufactured by top-tier OEMs next year will have our ME/MC technology built-in for the world-wide market,” continued Dr. Chang.
In the June quarter, the Company announced the design win of HiDTV™ Pro LX at Westinghouse for its new line of 1080P LCDTV. In the September quarter, the Company expects several other OEM customers, including one top-tier OEM, to start mass production with its HiDTV™ Pro products as the Company continues building up its market momentum with the HiDTV™ Pro product family. Also, the Company is accelerating its pace of integration to counter competitive pressure. The Company is already integrating additional technology into its digital SOC product family which is expected to tape out this fall and further reduce its customers’ system BOM cost. With the HiDTV Pro UX, HiDTV™ Pro WX, HiDTV™ Pro QX and the upcoming cost reduced version of the digital SOC, the Company expects to continue strengthening its product position to become the leading supplier in digital SOC among the top-tier OEM group in 2008.
Although the Company’s market is dynamic and challenging, it continues to make strides in technology innovation which strengthen its position among the high quality Tier I digital TV manufacturers.
September Quarter Forecast
As the market begins to shift gears into the seasonally stronger half of the calendar year, and competitive pressures continue to manifest themselves in the form of ASP erosion, the Company now expects to deliver revenues in the range of approximately $88 to $92 million in the September quarter, a 25 to 30% sequential increase from the June quarter, with gross margin targeted at approximately 48%.
About non-GAAP adjustments
To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared under GAAP, Trident uses a non-GAAP conforming measure of net income that is GAAP net income adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses and gains. Non-GAAP net income gives an indication of Trident’s baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that are considered by management to be outside the company’s core operating results. In addition, non-GAAP net income is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. These measures are neither in accordance with, nor an alternative for, GAAP and may be materially different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Trident computes non-GAAP net income by adjusting GAAP net income for the impact of certain investment gains (or losses) and excluding various items, including stock-based compensation, expenses related to the stock option investigation and related matters and those related to the acquisition of the Company’s minority interest held in its Taiwanese subsidiary, including, amortization of intangible assets and charges for in—process research and development costs. A reconciliation between net income/loss on a GAAP basis and non-GAAP net income is provided in a table following non-GAAP consolidated financial statements.

The Company also announced that it will hold a conference call to discuss its earnings, which will be held on Tuesday, August 7, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time).
