Pixelworks Reports Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

PXLW

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW), a leading provider of power efficient visual processing solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Digital Projector revenue grew 31% sequentially
  • Mobile revenue grew 66% sequentially and 29% year-over-year, on increased production volume shipments of both 3rd and 4th generation Iris processors to smartphone OEM customers
  • Secured multiple new wins and increased pipeline of customer engagements in both mobile and video delivery

President and CEO of Pixelworks, Todd DeBonis, commented, “Second quarter revenue of $19.3 million was above the high-end of our guidance range, reflecting strong sequential growth in both the digital projector and mobile markets. Additionally, consolidated revenue in the second quarter grew more than 20 percent year-over-year after adjusting for the end-of-life revenue we recognized in 2017. Operating expenses were in-line with our expectations, and we achieved breakeven bottom-line results on a non-GAAP basis.

“Complementing our solid financial results, we announced several notable wins during the second quarter. In mobile, we shipped increased volumes of 3rd and 4th generation Iris processors in support of announced wins on Xiaomi Blackshark’s gaming smartphone and ASUS’ flagship ROG Phone. In our video delivery business, we announced our XCode transcoding SoCs were selected to enable multiple leading OTA devices, including AirTV and Nuvyyo’s Tablo Dual-Lite DVR.

“Prevailing video consumption trends among consumers are continuing to drive increased momentum for the incorporation of Pixelworks’ advanced display technologies in next-generation devices. As evidence, today we have the largest pipeline of customer and program engagements in recent history, and we anticipate being able to announce multiple new wins in mobile during the second half of the year. Specific to the third quarter, we expect to report healthy sequential and year-over-year consolidated revenue growth, with our video delivery business anticipated to be accretive and contribute to our improvement in overall profitability.”

Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Revenue in the second quarter of 2018 was $19.3 million, compared to $15.3 million in the first quarter of 2018. The sequential increase reflects a combination of seasonal growth in the Company’s digital projector business and expanded shipments of Iris mobile processors in support of new product launches at multiple smartphone customers. Revenue in the second quarter of 2017 was $20.7 million, which included $5.1 million of legacy end-of-life product revenue.

On a GAAP basis, gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2018 was 49.5%, compared to 51.0% in the first quarter of 2018 and 54.1% in the second quarter of 2017. Second quarter 2018 GAAP operating expenses were $12.0 million compared to $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $9.2 million in the year-ago quarter.

For the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a GAAP net loss of $2.6 million, or $(0.07) per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $598,000, or $(0.02) per share, in the first quarter of 2018 and GAAP net income of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter.

On a non-GAAP basis, second quarter 2018 gross profit margin was 52.7%, compared to 54.2% in the first quarter of 2018 and 54.4% in the year-ago quarter. Second quarter 2018 non-GAAP operating expenses were $10.0 million, compared to $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $7.6 million in the year-ago quarter. Operating expenses in both the first quarter of 2018 and second quarter of 2017 included the recognition of approximately $2 million of offsets to R&D related to the Company’s ongoing co-development project with a large digital projector customer.

For the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a non-GAAP net loss of $140,000, or $(0.00) per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $38,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2018 and non-GAAP net income of $3.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2018 was $1.1 million, compared with $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $4.7 million in the year-ago quarter.

Business Outlook

For the third quarter of 2018, Pixelworks expects revenue to be in a range of between $21 million and $22 million. Additional guidance will be provided as part of the Company’s earnings conference call.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release makes reference to non-GAAP gross profit margins, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, which exclude inventory step-up and backlog amortization, amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expenses, discount accretion on convertible debt fair value and gain on extinguishment of convertible debt, which are all required under GAAP as well as the tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments. The press release also makes reference to and reconciles GAAP net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA, which Pixelworks defines as GAAP net income (loss) before interest expense and other, net, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, as well as the specific items listed above.

Pixelworks management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the business and establish its operational goals, review its operations on a period to period basis, for compensation evaluations, to measure performance, and for budgeting and resource allocation. Pixelworks management believes it is useful for the Company and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information and non-GAAP financial measures to help assess the performance of Pixelworks’ continuing businesses and to evaluate Pixelworks’ future prospects. These non-GAAP measures, when reviewed together with the GAAP financial information, provide additional transparency and information for comparison and analysis of operating performance and trends. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items to facilitate management’s review of the comparability of our core operating results on a period to period basis.

In calculating the above non-GAAP results, management specifically adjusted for certain items related to the acquisition of ViXS Systems, Inc., including amortization of acquired intangible assets, impact of inventory step up both related to fair valuing the items, restructuring expenses related to a reduction in workforce, accretion on convertible debt of ViXS. Management considers these items as either limited in term or having no impact on Pixelworks’ cash flows, and therefore has excluded such items to facilitate a review of current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

Because the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial results as presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is included in this earnings release which is available in the investor relations section of the Pixelworks' website.

These statements may be identified by use of terms such as “begin,” “continue,” “will,” “expect”, “believe,” “anticipate” and similar terms or the negative of such terms, and include, without limitation, statements about the Company’s digital projection, mobile and OTA businesses, including market movement and demand, customer engagements, mobile wins and the timing thereof, growth in the mobile and video delivery markets, synergies and additional guidance.

Such statements are based on management's current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company's business. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Actual results could vary materially from those contained in forward looking statements due to many factors, including, without limitation: whether the Company will be able to implement the restructuring program as planned, whether the expected amount of the costs associated with the restructuring program will differ from or exceed the Company's estimates and whether the Company will be able to realize the full amount of estimated savings from the restructuring program or within the timeframe expected; our ability to execute on our strategy, including the integration of ViXS; competitive factors, such as rival chip architectures, introduction or traction by competing designs, or pricing pressures; the success of our products in expanded markets; current global economic challenges; changes in the digital display and projection markets; seasonality in the consumer electronics market; our efforts to achieve profitability from operations; our limited financial resources and our ability to attract and retain key personnel. More information regarding potential factors that could affect the Company's financial results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements is included from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 as well as subsequent SEC filings.
