    TAIPEI, Taiwan and MILPITAS, Calif., July 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (NasdaqGS: SIMO) (“Silicon Motion” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. For the second quarter of 2022, net sales (GAAP) increased sequentially to $252.4 million from $242.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. Net income (GAAP) declined to $51.6 million or $1.55 per diluted ADS (GAAP) from net income (GAAP) of $54.5 million or $1.60 per diluted ADS (GAAP) in the first quarter of 2022.

    For the second quarter of 2022, net income (non-GAAP) increased to $62.8 million or $1.88 per diluted ADS (non-GAAP) from net income (non-GAAP) of $58.9 million or $1.72 per diluted ADS (non-GAAP) in the first quarter of 2022.

    Second Quarter 2022 Review
    “In the second quarter, our revenue continued to grow despite market conditions affected by Covid-19 lockdowns in China, Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine and a slowing global economy,” said Wallace Kou, President and CEO of Silicon Motion. “Growth of our SSD controller sales to customers building PCIe Gen 4 SSDs for PC OEMs remained very strong while sales to channel markets softened. Our eMMC+UFS controller sales to both smartphone and non-smartphone end-markets also grew.”

    Returning Value to Shareholders
    On October 25, 2021, our Board of Directors declared a $2.00 per ADS annual dividend to be paid in quarterly installments of $0.50 per ADS. On May 26, 2022, we paid $16.5 million to shareholders as the third installment of the annual dividend.

    On December 7, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized a new program for the Company to repurchase up to $200 million of our ADSs over a six-month period. During the second quarter of 2022, prior to discontinuation of share repurchases with the announcement of our pending transaction with MaxLinear, Inc. (“MaxLinear”), we repurchased $28.7 million of our ADSs at an average price of $75.58.

    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 and other items, including gross profit (non-GAAP), operating expenses (non-GAAP), operating income (non-GAAP), net income (non-GAAP), and earnings per diluted ADS (non-GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to 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 they are 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 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.

    SSD solutions restructuring are charges related to the restructuring of our underperforming Shannon product lines, the write-down of NAND flash and SSD inventory valuation attributable to these product lines.

    M&A transaction expenses consist of legal, financial advisory and other fees related to our pending sale to MaxLinear.

    Loss from settlement of litigation relates to an expense accrued in connection with a potential settlement of a lawsuit.

    Foreign exchange gains and losses consist of translation gains and/or losses of non-US$ denominated current assets and current liabilities, as well as certain other balance sheet items which result from the appreciation or depreciation of non-US$ currencies against the US$. 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.
