TechFaith Reports First Quarter 2013 Financial Results
BEIJING, May 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- China TechFaith Wireless Communication Technology Limited (NASDAQ: CNTF) ("TechFaith" or the "Company") today announced unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
For the first quarter of 2013, TechFaith reported net revenues of US$28.2 million, compared to US$31.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and US$42.7 million in the first quarter of 2012. This is in line with the Company's previously issued guidance for revenues in the first quarter of 2013, which estimated revenues for the quarter to be in the range of US$28.0 million to US$33.0 million, and primarily reflected a decline in revenues from the Company's gaming segment. Revenues in the first quarter of 2013 from the Company's gaming segment declined by US$3.9 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 and declined by US$4.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2012. Revenues in the first quarter of 2013 from the Company's brand name phone sales segment declined by US$1.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2012, and declined by US$5.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2012. Revenues in the first quarter of 2013 derived from the Original Developed Product, or ODP increased US$2.5 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 and declined by US$4.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2012.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2013 was US$4.6 million compared to US$5.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and US$10.8 million in the first quarter of 2012. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2013 was 16% compared to 19% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and 25% in the first quarter of 2012. The decline in gross margin on a sequential and year-over-year basis is mainly attributable to overall lower revenues combined with increased manufacturing costs. Net income attributed to TechFaith for the first quarter of 2013 was US$0.3 million or US$0.01 per basic and diluted weighted average outstanding ADS, compared to a net loss of US$3.0 million or US$0.06 loss per basic and diluted weighted average outstanding ADS in the fourth quarter of 2012, and a net loss of US$0.4 million or a US$0.01 loss per basic and diluted weighted average outstanding ADS in the first quarter of 2012.
Ms. Ouyang Yuping, TechFaith's Chief Financial Officer, said, "Revenues in the first quarter was in line with our previously issued guidance for the quarter, despite continued headwinds from higher competition and the significant decline of business in our gaming segment. While manufacturing costs have increased, we remained diligent in our efforts to absorb all fixed costs and to reduce operating costs where possible. As a result, we were able to achieve profitability in the first quarter of 2013 despite the lower revenues base. We also remain focused on maximizing our free cash flow; our cash and cash equivalents increased by US$3.2 million in the first quarter of 2013, raising our balance of cash and cash equivalents to US$261.2 million."
Mr. Deyou Dong, President and Chief Operating Officer of TechFaith, said, "We believe the first quarter will come to represent a low turning point for our sales in 2013. This year, the impact from seasonality was magnified by continued higher competition and higher costs. We finished the first quarter with some encouraging signs as the units of shipment in our ODP segment increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. Separately, our operating expense had a reduction of US$5.5 million, or 57%, compared to the first quarter of 2012. We will continue to work to build on our unit shipment momentum in the second quarter as we continue to work with customers to provide the tailored mobile solutions they need, while also working to further reduce our operating expenses as much as possible."
Mr. Defu Dong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TechFaith, said, "We continue to work to best position TechFaith for success in the face of higher competition and higher unit costs in the mobile segment. We remain focused on higher margin niche opportunities and are working closely with our enterprise customers worldwide to achieve this goal. We think that this is the right business strategy for our mobile business. In our gaming segment, we have shifted our business model away from hardware sales to focus on software and mobile platforms in order to expand our existing customer base. When these business segments eventually return to more healthy levels of revenues, we will be able to improve overall profitability given our reduced operating expenses. We also continue to prudently move forward with the development of facilities, currently represented on our balance sheet by the US$10.6 million in land use rights and the US$38.9 million in construction in progress balance at the end of the first quarter of 2013. We will evaluate our development program as we move forward with the ability to use facilities for our own operations or to potentially lease or sell such facilities to third parties as we seek to increase value for our shareholders."

The forecast below is TechFaith's current and preliminary view, which is subject to change. TechFaith currently expects total revenues for the second quarter of 2013 to be in the range of US$28.0 million to US$33.0 million.
