Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., February 1, 2007 – Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (NASDAQ : SIMO; “the Company”), a leading fabless semiconductor company that designs, develops, and markets universally compatible, high-performance, low-power semiconductor solutions for the multimedia consumer electronics market, today announced its fourth quarter 2006 financial results. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), diluted earnings per ADS were NT$10.60 (US$0.32) in the fourth quarter of 2006 (4Q06), an increase of 36% from NT$7.81 (US$0.24) in the same period of the previous year (4Q05) and an increase of 15% from NT$9.23 (US$0.28) in the third quarter of 2006 (3Q06). Net income for 4Q06 was NT$335 million (US$10.2 million), an increase of 36% from NT$246 million in 4Q05 and an increase of 16% from NT$289 million in 3Q06.


US GAAP net income for 4Q06 reflected NT$23 million (US$0.70 million) of stock-based compensation expenses as a result of the Company’s adoption of SFAS No 123(R), effective January 1, 2006. Excluding stock-based compensation, the Company’s non-GAAP net income for 4Q06 was NT$358 million (US$10.9 million). Non-GAAP earnings per ADS were NT$11.15 (US$0.34).

For the full year, diluted earnings per ADS were NT$30.20 (US$0.93), an increase of 30% from NT$23.21 (US$0.72) in 2005. Net income was NT$947 million (US$29.1 million), an increase of 41% from NT$673 million (US$21.0 million) in 2005.

Commenting on the results, Silicon Motion’s President and CEO, Wallace Kou, said:

“We are very happy with our performance in the fourth quarter as we set new records for sales and net income. The strong results were largely a result of robust demand for our controllers as our customers further ramped up their higher density micro-SD card and SD card production for the retail market, which made up for a softness from bundled products. During the quarter, we did see some weakness in NAND flash pricing, some of which might have been a result of price competition among our customers relating to Samsung’s ramping up of 4Gb and 8Gb 63nm MLCs in the fourth quarter. However, we think this softness in pricing actually spurred end demand, and although we saw some mild sequential decreases in our ASP, we more than made up for this with very strong sequential increases in unit shipments.

Unlike in past years, we are quite optimistic heading into the first quarter of 2007 since our product line-up is broader than at any point in the past and because we see fairly strong growth prospects in the markets we serve. We plan to roll out several new controllers over the next few quarters to address specific opportunities that we see in the flash memory market. Additionally, we have more than 10 major contract projects in the pipeline with a number of NAND flash makers and other industry leaders, so more than ever, our success in 2007 depend less on the overall NAND flash memory market and more on our own execution. We are confident that our model of providing an increasingly broad suite of universally compatible devices to a broad array of end customers will help sustain our strong growth in the quarters to come.”

     The Company maintains its accounts and expresses its financial statements in New Taiwan dollars. For convenience only, U.S. dollar amounts presented in the income statement have been translated from New Taiwan dollars, using an average exchange rate of NT$33.4419 to US$1 for the fourth quarter of 2005, NT$32.7605 to US$1 for the third quarter of 2006, and NT$32.8431 to US$1 for the fourth quarter of 2006 based on the average of the noon buying rate for cable transfers of the NT dollar as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Amounts from the balance sheet have been translated using the ending exchange rate for the period. The exchange rate at the end of 4Q06 was NT$32.59 to US$1.


Unit shipments of multimedia SoC products decreased 39% from 4Q05 and increased 47% from 3Q06 to approximately 581,000 units. The ASP per unit for multimedia SoC products declined 14% from 3Q06 because portable audio SoCs, which have lower selling prices compared to multimedia display processors, constituted a greater proportion of the total multimedia SoC product sales in the third quarter.

Expenses

The cost of sales in 4Q06 totaled NT$544 million (US$16.6 million), representing increases of 35% from 4Q05 and 13% from 3Q06. The year-over-year increase was driven primarily by increases in total wafer costs and assembly and test costs, as a result of a 101% increase in unit volume from 4Q05. The sequential increase was driven by an increase in total wafer costs as a result of a 25% increase in unit volume from 3Q06. The gross margin for the quarter was 53.5%, down from 53.9% in 4Q05 and unchanged from 3Q06. The non-GAAP gross margin was 53.6%.

Total operating expenses in 4Q06, which include sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative (G&A) expenses, and research and development (R&D) expenses, were NT$329 million (US$10.0 million), an increase of 59% from 4Q05 and an increase of 25% from 3Q06. Total operating expenses, excluding the stock-based compensation expense and a write-off of a non-trade related receivable the collection of which is doubtful, increased 28% year over year and increased 11% sequentially.

Total operating expenses represented 28.1% of net sales, compared to 23.7% and 25.5% of net sales in 4Q05 and 3Q06, respectively. The Company’s operating margin decreased from 30.2% in 4Q05 and 28.0% in 3Q06 to 25.4% in 4Q06. Excluding the stock-based compensation expense and the write-off of a non-trade related receivable, the Company’s operating margin would have been 27.3%.

Sales and marketing expenses in 4Q06 increased by 9% from 4Q05 and 28% from 3Q06 and represented 5.3% of net sales. The year-over-year increase was driven primarily by higher salary and benefits, stock-based compensation expenses, and professional fees and was offset by lower commissions. The sequential increase was driven mainly by higher salary and benefits and higher commissions and was offset by lower professional fees.


General and administrative expenses in 4Q06 increased 115% year-over-year and 25% sequentially, and represented 6.1% of net sales. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher salary and benefits, professional fees, stock-based compensation expenses, and allowance for bad debt. The sequential increase was primarily due to higher salary and benefits, allowance for bad debt, and miscellaneous expenses.

Research and development expenses in 4Q06 increased 33% year-over-year and declined 3% sequentially and represented 13.1% of net sales. The year-over-year increase was driven by higher salary and benefits and stock-based compensation expenses, as well as higher development tools, rental, and miscellaneous expenses, and was offset by lower project, royalty, and travel expenses. The sequential increase was primarily driven by higher salary and benefits, professional fees, and miscellaneous expenses and was offset by lower project and stock-based compensation expenses.

The company-wide headcount increased 8% from 334 at the end of 3Q06 to 361 at the end of 4Q06. A majority of the headcount increase took place in the R&D and sales and marketing departments.

Earnings

Net income totaled NT$335 million (US$10.2 million) in 4Q06, an increase of 36% from NT$246 million in 4Q05 and an increase of 16% from NT$289 million in 3Q06. Non-GAAP net income was NT$358 million (US$10.9 million). The net margin was 28.6%, which was up from 28.2% in 4Q05 and 27.9% in 3Q06. The non-GAAP net margin was 30.6%. Diluted earnings per ADS were NT$10.60 (US$0.32), up 36% from NT$7.81 (US$0.24) in 4Q05 and 15% from NT$9.23 (US$0.28) in 3Q06. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS were NT$11.15 (US$0.34).

Balance Sheet

At the end of 4Q06, the Company had NT$1,808 million (US$55.5 million) in cash and cash equivalents and NT$1,459 million (US$44.8 million) in short-term investments. Accounts receivable (A/R) increased from NT$807 million at the end of 3Q06 to NT$842 million (US$25.8 million) at the end of 4Q06. The average A/R days decreased from 65 days to 64 days. Inventory increased from NT$318 million at the end of 3Q06 to NT$427 million (US$13.1 million) at the end of 4Q06. The average inventory days increased from 57 days to 62 days. Total assets at the end of 4Q06 were NT$5,529 million (US$169.6 million), up from NT$5,010 million at the end of 3Q06.


Current liabilities increased from NT$777 million at the end of 3Q06 to NT$959 million (US$29.4 million) at the end of 4Q06, primarily due to increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses. There were no material changes in the Company’s long-term liabilities.

There were 123.780 million ordinary shares outstanding at the end of 4Q06, which was equivalent to 30.945 million units of ADS.

Business Outlook:

“The first quarter is typically a slow season for us,” continued Mr. Kou. “However, given that the Company is ramping up several new products, we currently expect sales in the first quarter of 2007 to decline 15%-20% from 4Q06, compared with sequential declines of 32% and 35% in the first quarters of 2005 and 2006 respectively. We estimate our gross margin in 1Q07 will likely be similar to our gross margin in 4Q06 and our operating margin will be in the mid-20 percent range.

For full-year 2007, we believe significant growth opportunities remain in the NAND flash controller market and we think we are well positioned to capture a substantial portion of the growth opportunities in both the NAND flash controller market and the multimedia SoC markets. In addition, we anticipate that our contract development and joint development efforts with major NAND flash manufacturers and major OEM customers will speed up our market penetration. As a result, we expect to achieve full-year earnings per ADS of between US$1.20 and US$1.30.”

Webcast of Conference Call:

The Company’s management team will conduct a conference call at 10:00 am Eastern Time on February 2. A webcast of the conference call will be accessible on the Company’s web site at http://www.siliconmotion.com.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Company’s earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of share-based compensation and the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R). The non-GAAP financial measures used by management and disclosed by the Company exclude the income statement effects of all forms of share-based compensation and the effects of 123(R) upon the number of diluted shares used in calculating non-GAAP earnings per share.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with US GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.


Non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin are GAAP gross margin and GAAP operating margin excluding stock-based compensation expenses that are driven by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to the Company’s core operating performance. Similarly, Non-GAAP net income consists of net income excluding stock-based compensation expenses that are driven primarily by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to the Company’s core operating performance. Non-GAAP net income per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by adjusted GAAP weighted average diluted shares outstanding. For this purpose, the calculation of GAAP weighted average diluted shares outstanding is adjusted to exclude the benefit of compensation costs attributable to future services and not yet recognized in the financial statements that are treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.

Listed below are the items included in net income that management excludes in computing the non-GAAP financial measures referred to in the text of this press release:

Silicon Motion Technology Corporation

Announces Resignation of Chief Financial Officer

Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., February 1, 2007- Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (NASDAQ: SIMO) today announced that Richard Wei, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, resigned from his position effective January 31, 2007. He has been recruited by a pre-IPO company in China.

Jason Chiang, Vice President and Special Assistant to Chief Executive Officer of Silicon Motion, will assume the additional responsibilities of Chief Financial Officer until a replacement for Richard is named. Silicon Motion has already narrowed its search for Richard’s replacement to a short list of candidates. Management believes a replacement will be named before the end of the first quarter.

Wallace Kou, Chief Executive Officer of Silicon Motion, said, “We are thankful to Richard for his many contributions to Silicon Motion and wish him the best in his future endeavors. Richard joined us in April 2005 prior to our IPO listing on June 30 of the same year. He was instrumental in bringing our financial controls, procedures and reporting up to global standards and he will truly be missed.”

Mr. Kou continued, “Jason Chiang is a perfect fit for us as he takes on the interim role. Jason joined Silicon Motion in 2002 and was our CFO from June 2002 to March 2005 prior to Richard’s arrival. This experience gives him a very close familiarity with both our company and our financial reporting, and I am very confident that he will be able to effectively transition us to a full-time CFO once we decide on a replacement.
