Pixelworks Reports Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results


SAN JOSE, Calif., October 27, 2016 -- Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW), an innovative provider of video display processing technology, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Quarterly Highlights
Revenue increased 9% sequentially to $13.7 million;
Initiated sampling of 3rd generation mobile display processing chip;
Joined the UHD Alliance as a contributing member; and
Ting Xiong appointed as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales

For the third quarter of 2016, revenue was $13.7 million, compared to $12.6 million in the prior quarter and $16.6 million in the third quarter of 2015. Revenue during the third quarter primarily reflected an expected sequential increase in the sale of chips sold into the digital projection market.

On a GAAP basis, gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2016 was 48.0%, compared to 51.0% in the second quarter of 2016 and 50.0% in the third quarter of 2015. Third quarter 2016 GAAP operating expenses were $7.5 million, compared to $7.8 million in the previous quarter and $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2015.

For the third quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a GAAP net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.06 per share, in the second quarter of 2016, and a GAAP net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.05 per share, in the third quarter of 2015.

On a non-GAAP basis, gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2016 was 48.6%, compared to 51.6% in the second quarter of 2016 and 50.2% in the third quarter of 2015. Third quarter 2016 gross margin was lower compared to the prior periods primarily due to a less favorable revenue mix specific to products sold into the digital projection market. Third quarter 2016 operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis were $6.8 million, compared to $7.0 million in the previous quarter and $8.5 million in the third quarter of 2015. Lower operating expenses compared to the prior periods reflected the net benefit of the Company’s announced restructuring in early 2016.

For the third quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a non-GAAP net loss of $438,000, or $0.02 per share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $756,000, or $0.03 per share, in the second quarter of 2016 and a non-GAAP net loss of $173,000, or $0.01 per share, in the third quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2016 was a positive $670,000, compared to a positive $296,000 in the previous quarter and positive $890,000 in the third quarter of 2015.

President and CEO of Pixelworks, Todd DeBonis, commented, “Third quarter revenue and earnings per share were both at the high-end of our guidance, reflecting continued sequential improvement across our business. Our projector business benefited from increased traction throughout the quarter as order patterns from OEMs and distributors began to normalize following the channel disruptions experienced earlier this year. In our mobile business, we are now sampling our 3rd generation IRIS processor at key smartphone and tablet customers, which in addition to having a smaller footprint and improved power consumption also enables OEMs to differentiate their devices with a superior mobile viewing experience. I’m also pleased to announce the appointment of Ting Xiong as Pixelworks’ senior VP of worldwide sales, who will be based in China and most recently headed the APAC sales organization at Qorvo’s IDP group. Ting fills-out our sales footprint and combined with other additions to the team earlier in the year gives us broad sales coverage across all of the key mobile markets in Asia.”





Business Outlook for the Fourth Quarter of 2016

The Company’s expectations for the fourth quarter of 2016 include:
Revenue to be between $15 million and $16 million;
Gross profit margin of approximately 50% to 52% on both a GAAP basis and non-GAAP basis; and
Operating expenses of $8 million to $9 million on a GAAP basis and $7 million to $8 million on a non-GAAP basis.

The difference in estimated operating expenses on a GAAP basis, versus a non-GAAP basis, is stock-based compensation expense, of which a range between $0.5 million to $1.0 million is included on a GAAP basis. Stock-based compensation expense is excluded from the calculation of estimated operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release makes reference to non-GAAP gross profit margins, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, which excludes restructuring charges, stock-based compensation expense and additional amortization of a non-cancelable prepaid royalty, which are required under GAAP. The press release also reconciles GAAP net loss and adjusted EBITDA, which Pixelworks defines as GAAP net loss before interest expense and other, net, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, as well as the specific items listed above. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide a meaningful perspective on the Company's core 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.

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, 2015 as well as subsequent SEC filings.

* Our non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share differs from GAAP gross profit, GAAP operating expenses, GAAP net loss and GAAP net loss per share due to the exclusion of restructuring expenses, 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 loss and non-GAAP net 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.
