- Q2 Revenues Reach $34.2M with $0.70 Non-GAAP EPS –

KFAR SAVA, Israel, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SILC), a leading provider of high-performance server/appliance networking solutions, today reported its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Financial Results

Second Quarter: Silicom's revenues for the second quarter of 2022 totalled $34.2 million, up 13% compared with $30.3 million for the second quarter of 2021.

On a GAAP basis, net income for the quarter totalled $4.5 million, or $0.67 per ordinary share ($0.68 per basic share), up 122% compared with $2.0 million, or $0.29 per ordinary share ($0.30 per basic share), for the second quarter of 2021.

On a non-GAAP basis (as described and reconciled below), net income for the quarter totalled $4.7 million, or $0.70 per diluted share ($0.71 per basic share), up 61% compared with $2.9 million, or $0.42 per diluted share ($0.43 per basic share), for the second quarter of 2021.

First Six Months: Silicom's revenues for the first half of 2022 totalled $66.2 million, up 12% compared with $59.3 million for the first half of 2021.

On a GAAP basis, net income for the period totalled $6.7 million, or $0.99 per diluted share ($1.00 per basic share), up 45% compared with $4.6 million, or $0.66 per diluted share ($0.67 per basic share) for the first half of 2021.

On a non-GAAP basis (as described and reconciled below), net income for the period totalled $7.7 million, or $1.14 per diluted share ($1.16 per basic share), up 31% compared with $5.9 million, or $0.84 per diluted share ($0.86 per basic share) for the first half of 2021.

Guidance

While multiple large design wins have given us an all-time-record backlog, our ability to deliver continues to be impacted by the global components crisis, which we expect to continue into 2023. We therefore project revenues for the third quarter of 2022 to range between $38 million and $40 million. The midpoint of this range represents 18% year-over-year revenue growth over the third quarter of 2021.

Comments of Management

Liron Eizenman, Silicom's President and CEO, commented, "The second quarter was a period of solid growth in revenues, margins and EPS, driven by stronger-than-ever demand for our products coupled with scrupulous attention to operational efficiency. Our revenue growth continues to reflect the accelerating transition of mainstream players – from industrials and online retail giants to telcos and service providers - to disaggregated/decoupled networks, driving demand for Silicom's must-have enabling solutions. It also reflects our success in maintaining a strong delivery rate in the face of the global shortages, primarily through determined product and operational innovation, and careful inventory management.

"The combination of spot-on products and ability-to-deliver continues to bring us more and larger design wins. For example, during the quarter, one of the SD-WAN market's largest vendors placed $15 million in orders for our SD-WAN Smart Platforms due for shipment in 2022, and guided us to expect annual orders above $25 million for the next several years. In parallel, discussions continue with a broad variety of telcos, networking equipment providers and partners regarding exciting new opportunities."

Mr. Eizenman concluded, "Looking forward, given the all-time-record level of our pipeline and our reputation as a 'can-deliver' provider despite challenges – all compounded by the speed with which our target markets are developing - we are well positioned for continued strong growth in the years ahead."
