Second Quarter 2011 Financial Review

Commenting on the results of the second quarter, Silicon Motion's President and CEO, Wallace Kou, said:

"We are excited to report that our US$50.5 million of revenue this quarter represents the second biggest quarter of revenue in our history. For us, the achievement of this milestone demonstrates that the strategies and investments which we have made in the last two years are bearing solid results, whether relating to our mobile storage or mobile communications products.

"Our mobile storage business experienced its sixth consecutive quarter of solid growth momentum as our second quarter revenue increased 9% sequentially. This quarter, our ASPs increased 12% sequentially, and on an annual basis, our ASPs have also been growing for six consecutive quarters. These achievements are the result of our OEM strategy, emphasis on higher value-added products, and focus on new SSD+embedded solutions. Sales to our flash maker customers and other OEMs increased 40% sequentially and accounted for about half of all mobile storage sales, up from about 40% in the prior quarter. Sales of our TLC controllers, which are ideally suited for cards bundled with smartphones, increased 45% and now accounted for over 35% of all our controller sales. Well over 50% of our controllers sold are used in the management of the latest 2x nm NAND flash, whether MLC or TLC--a strong endorsement by customers of our technological excellence. Our SSD+embedded solutions grew 30% sequentially as our sales of controllers for low density industrial and networking storage applications rebounded. For our eMMC solutions, we are currently executing over 12 projects for applications, such as Android smartphones and tablets. We continue to believe in the prospects for significant growth in 2012 from our SSD+embedded business.

"Our mobile communications segment delivered a phenomenal 55% sequential revenue growth, largely as a result of a rebound in mobile TV IC sales relating to Korea T-DMB market share gains and a continued ramp of our 4G LTE transceivers for Samsung Android phones, currently rolling out at Verizon and MetroPCS in the U.S. We have also started shipping our 4G LTE transceiver for the world's first Android LTE tablet."

Sales

Net sales in the second quarter were US$50.5 million, an increase of 16% compared with the previous quarter. For the quarter, mobile storage products accounted for 67% of net sales, mobile communications 25% of net sales, multimedia SoCs 7% of net sales, and others 1% of net sales.

Net sales of our mobile storage products, which primarily include flash memory cards, USB flash drives, SSD and embedded flash controllers, increased 9% sequentially in the second quarter to US$33.9 million.

Net sales of mobile communication products, which primarily include mobile TV IC solutions and handset transceivers, increased 55% from the first quarter of 2011 to US$12.8 million this quarter.

Net sales of multimedia SoC products, which are primarily embedded graphics processors, increased 10% from the first quarter of 2011 to US$3.5 million this quarter.

Gross and Operating Margins

Gross margin excluding stock-based compensation increased to 46.9% in the second quarter from 46.2% in the first quarter of 2011. GAAP gross margin increased to 46.8% from 46.2% in the first quarter of 2011.

Operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and other items were US$13.1 million, which was lower than the US$13.4 million expended in the first quarter. Research and development expenditures, excluding stock-based compensation, were US$7.7 million, which was lower than the US$8.1 million in the previous quarter. Selling and marketing expenses excluding stock-based compensation were US$2.9 million, which was higher compared to the US$2.7 million reported in the previous quarter. General and administrative expenses excluding stock-based compensation and litigation expenses were US$2.5 million, which was comparable to our previous quarter. Stock-based compensation was US$2.4 million in the second quarter, which was higher than the US$0.8 million in the first quarter. Acquisition-related charges were US$0.2 million, a decrease from the US$0.6 million in the first quarter.

Operating margin excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, and other items was 21.1%, an increase from 15.5% in the previous quarter. GAAP operating margin was 15.9%, an increase from the 12.3% in the first quarter.

Other Income and Expenses

Net total other income excluding net foreign exchange gain or loss, and other items was US$0.1 million, similar to the first quarter. GAAP net total other income was a loss of US$2.7 million, a decrease from a gain of US$2.1 million in the first quarter. The decrease in the GAAP total other income was primarily due to a foreign exchange loss in the second quarter of US$2.8 million compared to a foreign exchange gain in the first quarter of US$2.0 million.

Earnings

Net income excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, net foreign exchange gain or loss, and other items was US$9.9 million this quarter, an increase from US$5.8 million in the first quarter. Diluted earnings per ADS excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, net foreign exchange gain or loss, and other items were US$0.29, an increase from US$0.18 in the first quarter.

GAAP net income was US$4.5 million, a decrease from the net income of US$6.4 million in the first quarter. Diluted GAAP earnings per ADS were US$0.14, a decrease from US$0.21 in the previous quarter.

Balance Sheet

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments decreased to US$55.1 million from US$57.6 million at the end of the first quarter of 2011.

During the second quarter of 2011, we spent US$1.2 million in capital expenditures primarily relating to the purchase of testing equipments, software and design tools.

Business Outlook:

Silicon Motion's President and CEO, Wallace Kou, added:

"The second quarter exceeded our expectations as strong OEM sales more than offset weak module maker sales. We continue to believe that while NAND flash industry supply will continue to increase in the second half of 2011, incremental supply of flash could be consumed by growing demand for smartphones, tablets, and SSDs, and less by module makers for the retail market. Our rapidly growing OEM sales currently cater primarily to the increasing demand for cards bundled with smartphones, as well as low density SSD+embedded solutions. Because of the strength of our business year-to-date, we are increasing our full year guidance and believe we are on track to delivering the largest annual revenue in the Company's history."

For the third quarter of 2011, management expects:

  --  Revenue to be down 5% to up 5% sequentially
  --  Gross margin excluding stock-based compensation to be in the 46% to 48%
      range
  --  Operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation,
      acquisition-related charges, and other items of approximately US$14 to
      US$16 million


For the full year 2011, management is increasing guidance as previously announced in April and now expects:

  --  Revenue to be up 40% to 50% compared with full year 2010
  --  Gross margin excluding stock-based compensation to be in the 46% to 48%
      range
  --  Operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation,
      acquisition-related charges, and other items of approximately US$55 to
      US$58 million

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, acquisition-related charges and other items, 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 of these individual items in our reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges related 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 of share-based compensation on its operating results.

Acquisition-related charges consist of non-cash charges that can be impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions. We consider our operating results without these charges when evaluating our ongoing performance and forecasting our earnings trends, and therefore excludes such charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the assessment of our operations excluding these costs is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of our competitors. Acquisition-related charges include the following:

-- Amortization of intangible assets relates to the amortization of core technology, customer relationship, and other intangibles acquired as part of an acquisition.

Litigation expenses consist of legal expenses relating to intellectual property disputes, commercial claims and other types of litigation. While litigation may arise in the ordinary course of our business, we nevertheless consider litigation to be an unusual, non-recurring and unplanned activity and therefore exclude these types of charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

Gain from settlement of litigation relates to the one-time payment in connection with a favorable settlement of certain litigation with ASE and ANP.

Foreign exchange gains and losses consists of translation gains and/or losses of non-NT$ denominated current assets and current liabilities, as well as certain other balance sheet items which result from the appreciation or depreciation of non-NT$ currencies against the NT$. We do not use financial instruments to manage the impact on our operations from changes in foreign exchange rates, and because our operations are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we therefore exclude foreign exchange gains and losses when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

Impairment of long-term investments relates to the other-than-temporary, non-operating write down of the Company's minority stake investments. We do not consider these investments which were made before 2007 to be strategic and exclude the performance of these investments when evaluating our ongoing performance and forecasting our earnings trends, and therefore excludes losses (and gains) from the investments when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.
