Pixelworks Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2010 Financial Results

San Jose, Calif., January 27, 2011 — Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PXLW), an innovative provider of powerful video and pixel processing technology, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.

For the full year 2010, Pixelworks reported revenue of $69.5 million, an increase of 14% from revenue of $61.1 million in 2009. On a GAAP basis, net income was $0.4 million, or $0.03 per share in 2010, compared with net income of $6.5 million, or $0.47 per diluted share in 2009. GAAP net income in 2009 included a $12.9 million gain on repurchase of debt. On a non-GAAP basis, Pixelworks recorded net income of $1.4 million, or $0.10 per share in 2010, compared with net loss of $(2.5) million, or $(0.19) per share in 2009.

Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2010 was $14.1 million, down 22% from $18.0 million in the 2010 third quarter and down 27% from $19.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, in line with recent guidance, and due primarily to continuing correction in the digital projection market.

On a GAAP basis, gross profit margin in the fourth quarter of 2010 was 46.4%, compared with 46.0% in the third quarter of 2010 and 46.6% in the fourth quarter of 2009. Fourth quarter 2010 GAAP operating expenses were $10.0 million, up 8% compared with $9.3 million in the 2010 third quarter, and up 6% from $9.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 due to increased investment in new product development. The Company recorded GAAP net loss of $(3.2) million, or $(0.24) per share in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to GAAP net income of $7,000, or $0.00 per share in the third quarter of 2010, and GAAP net loss of $(0.8) million, or $(0.06) per share in the fourth quarter of 2009.

On a non-GAAP basis, fourth quarter 2010 gross profit margin was 47.1%, compared with 46.1% in the third quarter of 2010, and 50.0% in the fourth quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2010 were $9.7 million, compared with $9.0 million in the 2010 third quarter, and $9.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company recorded net loss in the fourth quarter of 2010 of $(3.6) million, or $(0.27) per share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share in the third quarter of 2010, and non-GAAP net income of $0.2 million, or $0.02 per share in the fourth quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net loss in the fourth quarter of 2010 excludes a $0.7 million gain on the sale of marketable securities.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s total cash and marketable securities balance was $29.8 million, down $1.4 million from $31.2 million at September 30, 2010 and down $1.1 million from $30.9 million at December 31, 2009.

“2010 was a year of significant new product introductions for Pixelworks, as we delivered innovative new video processing solutions both for the digital projection and advanced TV markets,” said Bruce Walicek, President and CEO of Pixelworks. “We enter 2011 with momentum across our product lines and Pixelworks is well positioned to capitalize on the explosive growth expected to occur from new video applications such as 3D and Internet video.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release makes reference to non-GAAP gross profit margins, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP net income (loss), which exclude a gain on the sale of marketable securities, gains on the repurchase of long-term debt, restructuring charges, acquisition-related items, stock-based compensation expense and additional amortization of a non-cancelable prepaid royalty, all of which are required under GAAP. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide a meaningful perspective on the Company’s operating results and underlying cash flow dynamics, but cautions investors to consider these measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, its 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 Company’s website.

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.

* Our non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share differs from GAAP gross profit, GAAP operating expenses, GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) per share due to the exclusion of gains on the repurchase of long-term debt, gain on sale of marketable securities, restructuring charges, acquisition-related items, stock-based compensation expense, and additional amortization of a non-cancelable prepaid royalty. Pixelworks’ management believes the presentation of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share provides useful information to investors regarding Pixelworks’ results of operations by allowing investors to better evaluate underlying cash flow dynamics. Pixelworks’ management also uses each of these non-GAAP measures internally to better evaluate underlying cash flow dynamics. Pixelworks, however, cautions investors to consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our GAAP financial measures.
