TAIPEI, Taiwan, Jan. 31, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (Nasdaq:SIMO) ("the Company") today announced its fourth quarter 2007 financial results. Fourth quarter net sales increased 48% year-over-year to US$53.4 million and GAAP net income increased 16% year-over-year to US$11.9 million, or US$0.35 per diluted ADS, compared to US$0.33 per diluted ADS in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Non-GAAP net income, which excludes stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and one-time items, increased 35% year-over-year to US$16.4 million, or US$0.47 per diluted ADS, compared to US$0.38 per diluted ADS in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Commenting on the results, Silicon Motion's President and CEO, Wallace Kou, said:
"We are delighted with the strength of our 4Q operating results. We delivered US$53.4 million in revenue for the quarter, which exceeded the upper end of our US$50 to 52 million guidance range. These results were largely a result of excellent performance from both our storage and communications businesses. For full year 2007, we delivered earnings per diluted ADS of US$1.64." "Our 4Q07 storage revenue grew 15% sequentially, which is an improvement from the 17% sequential growth that we achieved in 4Q06 and demonstrates that our solid execution in our flash controller business continues to deliver strong results. For full year 2007, we estimate that the flash card market volume increased almost 50% to 660 million units and that the share of cards in the overall market using our controllers increased from 31% in 2006 to 37% in 2007. We strongly believe that we continue to earn our leadership position in the market because of the competitiveness and reliability of our technology, our established product track record with the broadest set of customers in the industry, and our broad capabilities compared to our competitors for supporting storage device customers and NAND flash partners." "We are excited about the performance of FCI, the mobile communications business we acquired last year. Revenue from this business increased a considerable 47% quarter over quarter and sales of mobile TV silicon tuners in the second half of 2007 accounted for over 7% of our total revenue, which we believe puts us in a strong position with regard to the rapidly growing mobile TV market. In order to strengthen our technological capabilities in this area, we completed a smaller mobile TV related IC acquisition in Korea at the end of November 2007. We believe that this acquisition will foster our ability to bring new integrated mobile TV silicon solutions to the market faster." "FCI generated over US$31 million in net sales for calendar year 2007, which was largely in-line with our expectations. We are presently determining whether FCI met the 2007 product revenue and product margin targets required to trigger an earn-out payment as a part of the previously announced terms of the acquisition." "I am also delighted to note that our fourth quarter gross margin of 53% was our tenth consecutive quarter of 52% or higher -- despite the continued volatility of NAND flash prices."
Fourth Quarter 2007 Financial Review(1)
Sales
Net sales in the fourth quarter totaled US$53.4 million, an increase of 48% from 4Q06 and an increase of 16% compared with 3Q07. Overall unit shipments increased 54% from 4Q06 and 23% from 3Q07.
Our key products, as percentages of net sales, are as follows:

Margins
Gross margin excluding stock-based compensation was 52.7%, which was slightly lower than 53.2% in 3Q07. GAAP gross margin was 52.5%, also slightly lower than 53.0% in 3Q07.
Operating expense excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and one-time items was 21.2% of net sales, which was slightly lower than 21.5% in 3Q07. Research and development expenses, selling and marketing expenses, as well as general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were largely unchanged compared to the previous quarter. Stock-based compensation was US$2.2 million, which was approximately the same as in 3Q07. Acquisition-related charges in 4Q07 were approximately US$1.9 million and included US$0.1 million from our November 2007 mobile TV acquisition.
Operating margin excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and one-time items was 31.5%, which was slightly lower than 31.7% in 3Q07. GAAP operating margin was 23.9%, which was higher than 23.1% in 3Q07.
Earnings
Net income excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and one-time items increased 35% year-over-year to US$16.4 million in 4Q07. Diluted earnings per ADS excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and one-time items were US$0.47, up 24% from US$0.38 in 4Q06.
GAAP net income increased 16% year-over-year to US$11.9 million in 4Q07. Diluted GAAP earnings per ADS were US$0.35, an increase of 6% from US$0.33 in 4Q06.
Business Outlook:
Silicon Motion's President and CEO, Wallace Kou, added:
"We are closely monitoring signs of a potential deterioration in U.S. macroeconomic conditions. Nevertheless, rapidly declining NAND flash prices continue to drive solid state product innovations, improve consumer affordability, and fuel storage device unit growth, as well as related demand for our controllers. Our concerns about U.S. economic slowdown are somewhat mitigated by the fact that a large part of our sales of card controllers and other products are used in devices that do not target US end markets. We expect our handset bundled card business, as well as sales to merchant card makers to continue to grow in 2008. Our card controller shipments to Samsung, for example, will probably increase at least 35% sequentially in the seasonally weak first quarter. We therefore remain cautiously optimistic about our storage business. We also expect to continue benefiting from the rapid growth of mobile TV in 2008, as growing interest in mobile TV by consumers in Asian markets leads to increasing adoption rates."
As a result, Management expects:
* 1Q08 corporate revenue of approximately US$44 - 46 million, which represents a year-over-year increase of 22 - 27% and a quarter- over-quarter decrease of 14 - 18%, mainly because of seasonal factors * 1Q08 storage revenue of approximately US$34 - 35 million, which represents a seasonal quarter-over-quarter decrease of 8 - 10% * 2008 full year corporate revenue of US$225 - 235 million, which represents a 25 - 31% year-over-year increase and is largely in- line with our long-term annual growth target of 25 - 35% * Non-GAAP gross margin to remain in the 52- 53% range and GAAP gross margin to also remain in the 52- 53% range * Non-GAAP earnings per ADS of approximately US$1.95 - 2.05 and GAAP earnings per ADS of approximately US$1.55 - 1.65

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's unaudited selected financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation and acquisition-related charges, including, non-GAAP cost of sales, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted ADS. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We compensate for the limitations of our non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.
Our non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors as these non-GAAP results exclude certain expenses, gains and losses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results and because it is consistent with the financial models and estimates published by many analysts who follow the company. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with our forecasts, and for benchmarking our performance externally against our competitors. Also, when evaluating potential acquisitions, we exclude the items described below from our consideration of the target's performance and valuation. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing the results from management's perspective in addition to seeing our GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:
-- the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons
of the Company's on-going operating results;
-- the ability to better identify trends in the Company's underlying
business and perform related trend analysis;
-- a better understanding of how management plans and measures the
Company's underlying business; and
-- an easier way to compare the Company's operating results against
analyst financial models and operating results of our competitors
that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial
measures.
The following are explanations of each of the adjustments that we incorporate into our non-GAAP measures, as well as the reasons for excluding each or these individual items in our reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures:
Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges incurred as a result of the Company's adoption of SFAS 123R relating to the fair value of stock options and restricted stock units awarded to employees. The Company believes that the exclusion of these non-cash charges provides for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to our peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact the application of SFAS 123R has on its operating results.
Intangible amortization consists of non-cash charges that can be impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions. The Company considers its operating results without these charges when evaluating its ongoing performance and forecasting its earnings trends, and therefore excludes such charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that the assessment of its operations excluding these costs is relevant to its assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of its competitors.In-process research and development consists of one-time charges incurred in connection with the acquisition of FCI in 2Q 2007 that otherwise would not have been incurred and therefore we have excluded the effects of these charges from our non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income. In-process research and development consists of technology projects which, as of acquisition date, had not yet reached technological feasibility and there are no future alternative uses that exist. We believe it is useful for investors to understand the effect of this expense on our statement of operations. This non-GAAP adjustment is intended to reflect acquisition-related expense incurred that is not directly associated with our continuing operations.
Impairment of long-term marketable securities relates to the other-than-temporary, non-operating write down of the Company's investments in Spright Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Flash Media Corporation) in 2006 and 2005. As the performance of Spright deteriorated in 2007, the Company determined that these shares have been other-than-temporarily impaired and therefore they were written down in the fourth quarter of 2007. These charges are not factored into the Company's internal evaluation of net income as it believes they are non-operating charges that do not impact the Company's core operating performance.
Gain from litigation settlement consists of a one-time payment in September 2006 by Phison Electronics Corporation to the Company for settlement of legal action filed by the Company in August 2002 against Phison for infringement of certain intellectual property rights to compact flash controller IC owned by the Company.
Write-off of other receivables consists of a one-time write-off in December 2006 of a US$1.2 million non-trade receivable, the collection of which we believed was doubtful. The Company did not have a similar write-off for the year ended December 31, 2007.

These flash memory storage products are widely used by consumers to store data on multimedia consumer electronics devices such as mobile phones, digital still cameras, personal digital assistants, personal navigation devices and personal multimedia players, and notebook and desktop personal computers. Our multimedia SoC business is composed of products that support MP3 and personal multimedia players, PC cameras and embedded graphics applications. Our mobile communications business is composed of mobile TV tuners, CDMA RF ICs and electronics toll collection RF ICs, which became our new product line as a result of our recent acquisition of FCI.
Forward-Looking Statements:
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including without limitation, statements about Silicon Motion's expected fourth quarter 2007 revenue, gross margin and operating margin and full fiscal year 2007 diluted earnings per ADS, all of which reflect management's estimates based on information available at this time of this press release. While Silicon Motion believes these estimates to be meaningful, these amounts could differ materially from actual reported amounts for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year. Forward-looking statements also include, without limitation, statements regarding trends in the multimedia consumer electronics market and our future results of operations, financial condition and business prospects. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although such statements are based on our own information and information from other sources we believe to be reliable, you should not place undue reliance on them. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual market trends or our actual results of operations, financial condition or business prospects may differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward looking statements for a variety of reasons. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our belief in the outcome of any claim or lawsuit, including those uncertainties relating to litigation filed against the Company relating to whether its products are covered by patents not owned by the Company; unpredictable volume and timing of customer orders, which are not fixed by contract but vary on a purchase order basis; the loss of one or more key customers or the significant reduction, postponement, rescheduling or cancellation of orders from these customers; integration of our recently announced acquisitions general economic conditions or conditions in the semiconductor or multimedia consumer electronics markets; decreases in the overall average selling prices of our products; changes in the relative sales mix of our products; changes in our cost of finished goods; the availability, pricing, and timeliness of delivery of other components and raw materials used in our customers' products; our customers' sales outlook, purchasing patterns, and inventory adjustments based on consumer demands and general economic conditions; our ability to successfully develop, introduce, and sell new or enhanced products in a timely manner; and the timing of new product announcements or introductions by us or by our competitors. For additional discussion of these risks and uncertainties and other factors, please see the documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed on July 2, 2007.
