PORTLAND, Ore., Jul 23, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PXLW | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PXLW)

-- 32% Sequential Revenue Growth

-- Proactive Cost Management

-- Positive Cash from Operations

Pixelworks, Inc., an innovative provider of powerful video and pixel processing technology, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Second quarter 2009 revenue was $14.2 million, in the middle of the range of management guidance. Revenue for the second quarter increased 32% sequentially from $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2009 and was down 32% from $20.8 million in the second quarter of 2008.

Second quarter 2009 GAAP gross profit margin was 47.7%, compared with 38.6% in the first quarter of 2009 and 50.5% in the second quarter of 2008. Second quarter 2009 non-GAAP gross profit margin was 52.0%, compared with 45.4% in the first quarter of 2009 and 54.0% in the second quarter of 2008. Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2009 were above the range of guidance provided by management, as a result of continued product cost reductions.

As a result of expense reduction measures implemented prior to and during the quarter and lower than anticipated expenses associated with development projects, second quarter 2009 operating expenses were lower than management's original estimate on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. Second quarter 2009 GAAP operating expenses were $7.9 million, compared with $8.7 million in the first quarter of 2009 and $11.6 million in the second quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2009, down 7% from $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2009 and down 29% from $10.9 million in the second quarter of 2008.

On a GAAP basis, the Company recorded net income of $2.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2009, compared to net income of $5.9 million, or $0.44 per share in the first quarter of 2009 and net loss of $(1.3) million, or $(0.09) per share in the second quarter of 2008. On a non-GAAP basis, net loss was $(0.9) million, or $(0.07) per share in the second quarter of 2009, compared to net loss of $(2.0) million, or $(0.15) per share in the first quarter of 2009 and net loss of $(0.1) million, or $(0.00) per share in the second quarter of 2008.

Included in GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2009 was a net gain of $3.8 million realized on the repurchase of $17.8 million of the Company's convertible subordinated debentures. In the first quarter of 2009, GAAP net income included a net gain of $9.0 million realized on the repurchase of $27.1 million of the Company's convertible subordinated debentures. No such gains were included in the GAAP net loss recorded in the second quarter of 2008.

As a result of the 2009 debenture repurchases, the Company's long-term debt balance has been reduced from $60.6 million at December 31, 2008 to $15.8 million at June 30, 2009. The Company's total cash and marketable securities balance at June 30, 2009 was $28.2 million.

"In spite of a challenging economic environment, we saw strong Q2 results on a number of fronts," said Bruce Walicek, President and CEO of Pixelworks. "We secured significant new design wins and had continued strong performance from new products, which again topped 20% of revenues, validating our strategy of investing in innovative products for markets that demand video quality. Additionally, during the quarter we continued to strengthen our balance sheet by retiring debt through bond repurchases. Going forward, we remain focused on continuing our momentum by delivering shareholder value with innovative new products, tight cost and expense management and consistent revenue growth."

* 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, other-than-temporary
impairment of a marketable security, restructuring charges,
acquisition-related items, stock-based compensation expense,
additional amortization of a non-cancelable prepaid royalty and
other income. 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.
