Pixelworks Reports First Quarter 2011 Financial Results

San Jose, Calif., April 20, 2011 — Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PXLW), an innovative provider of powerful video and pixel processing technology, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

First quarter 2011 revenue was $14.7 million, up 4% sequentially from $14.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily as a result of higher sales to the advanced TV market. Year over year, revenues were down 21% from $18.7 million in the first quarter of 2010, due primarily to continuing inventory correction in the digital projection market.

On a GAAP basis, gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2011 was 44.7%, down from 46.4% in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 46.3% in the first quarter of 2010. First quarter 2011 GAAP operating expenses were $9.8 million, compared with $10.0 million in the previous quarter and $9.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. The Company recorded GAAP net loss of $(1.5) million, or $(0.11) per share in the first quarter of 2011, compared to GAAP net loss of $(3.2) million, or $(0.24) per share in the fourth quarter of 2010 and GAAP net income of $4.6 million, or $0.32 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2010. GAAP net loss per share in the first quarter of 2011 included a $1.6 million gain on the sale of patents; and GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2010 included a tax benefit of $5.3 million, which resulted primarily from the expiration of previously recorded tax contingencies.

On a non-GAAP basis, first quarter 2011 gross profit margin was 45.5%, down from 47.1% in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 49.4% in the first quarter of 2010, primarily as a result of product mix. First quarter 2011 operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis were $9.4 million, compared with non-GAAP operating expenses of $9.7 million in the previous quarter and $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2010. On a non-GAAP basis, net loss in the first quarter of 2011 was $(2.8) million, or $(0.20) per share, compared with non-GAAP net loss of $(3.6) million, or $(0.27) per share in the fourth quarter of 2010, and non-GAAP net income of $5.2 million, or $0.37 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP net loss in the first quarter of 2011 excluded a $1.6 million gain on the sale of patents; non-GAAP net loss in the fourth quarter of 2010 excluded a $0.7 million gain on the sale of marketable securities; and non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2010 included a $5.0 million tax benefit.

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 restructuring charges, amortization of acquired developed technology, stock-based compensation expense, gain on sale of patents, gain on sale of a marketable security 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.

Safe Harbor Statement

This release contains statements, including, without limitation, the statements in Bruce Walicek’s quote and the “Business Outlook for 2011 Second Quarter” section above, that are 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. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements for purposes of this release, including any projections of revenue or other financial items or any statements regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. 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. Actual results could vary materially from those contained in forward looking statements due to many factors, including, without limitation: our ability to deliver new products in a timely fashion; our new product yield rates; changes in estimated product costs; product mix; supply of products from third-party foundries; failure or difficulty in achieving design wins; timely customer transition to new product designs; competitive factors, such as rival chip architectures, introduction or traction by competing designs, or pricing pressures; the success of our products in expanded markets; current global economic challenges; levels of inventory at distributors and customers; changes in the digital display and projection markets; changes in customer ordering patterns or lead times; seasonality in the consumer electronics market; our efforts to achieve profitability from operations; insufficient, excess or obsolete inventory and variations in inventory valuation; the outcome of any litigation related to our intellectual property rights; and our lower cash position as a result of our debt repurchases. More information regarding potential factors that could affect the Company’s financial results and could cause actual results to differ materially is included from time to time in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and subsequent SEC filings.

The forward-looking statements contained in this release speak as of the date of this release, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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.
