Trident Microsystems Reports Results for Fourth Quarter Ended Dec. 31, 2010
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Trident Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRID), a leader in high-performance semiconductor system solutions for the connected home, today announced results for its fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2010.
For the quarter, the company reported net revenues of $118.6 million, which compares with $176.6 million in the prior sequential quarter and $31.9 million in the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2009. On a generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis, the company reported a net loss for the quarter of $53.8 million, or $0.31 per share. This compares with a net loss of $17.5 million, or $0.10 per share in the prior sequential quarter and a net loss of $23.4 million, or $0.34 per share, in the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2009.
Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter was $25.4 million, or $0.15 per share, which compares with a non-GAAP net loss of $0.0 million, or $0.00 per share, in the prior sequential quarter and a non-GAAP net loss of $15.6 million, or $0.22 per share, in the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2009. A detailed reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP net income (loss) is provided as a supplement to the attached financial statements.
Philippe Geyres, Trident's interim chief executive officer and board member, said, "The disappointing results for the quarter reflected the industry-wide inventory correction in LCD TV, which particularly impacted the mid-range and high-end of our product line, as well as softness in our legacy standard definition retail set-top box products and delayed customer ramps of certain new set-top box programs. These same factors are expected to negatively impact our revenues in the first quarter of 2011, which is seasonally our weakest period."
Mr. Geyres continued, "In the near term, we are focused on serving customers, securing designs for 2012 revenues, and continuing our integration activities to lower the breakeven point. At the same time, we are assessing how best to leverage Trident's technology assets and market presence for profitable growth. The first half of 2011 will be very challenging. We expect to ramp new products and customer programs in the second half and continue ongoing cost reductions, with the goal of positioning the company for cash flow positive operations in the second half of the year and greater success in 2012."
Outlook
The company's outlook for any period is based on current expectations and is subject to various factors, including those set forth in the Forward-Looking Information statement below. Actual results may differ materially. For the quarter ending Mar. 31, 2011, the company offered the following guidance:
- Net revenues are expected to be in the range of $75 million to $85 million.
- Non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be in the range of 27% to 28%.
- Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $50 million to $54 million, with research and development expenses in the range of $34 million to $37 million and selling, general and administrative expenses in the range of $16 million to $17 million.
- Non-GAAP operating loss is expected to be in the range of $27 million to $32 million.
- Provision for income taxes is expected to be approximately $1 million.
- Adjustments to GAAP net income are expected to be in the range of $20 million to $23 million, including cash restructuring charges in the range of $6 million to $8 million.
- Cash balance as of the end of the quarter is expected to be in the range of $55 million to $65 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared under GAAP, Trident uses a non-GAAP conforming, or non-GAAP, measure of net income (loss) that is GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses and gains. Non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP expenses give an indication of Trident's baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that are considered by management to be outside the company's core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP measures as a percentage of net revenues are used to identify key trends in performance and measure key results against objectives. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be materially different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Trident computes non-GAAP net income (loss) by adjusting GAAP net income (loss) for acquisition-related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, expenses related to the stock option investigation and related matters, legal settlements, restructuring charges, expenses related to software license fees, amortization and impairment of intangible assets from acquisitions, impairment loss, backlog amortization, capital gains and losses and dividend income. A detailed reconciliation between net loss on a GAAP basis and non-GAAP net income (loss) is provided in an attached table.
Forward-Looking Information
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding financial expectations for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, expected restructuring activity, and our outlook for 2011. The forward-looking statements made above are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially depending on a number of factors. These risks include, in particular, our ability to realize the benefits from our acquisition of product lines and IP from NXP, our ability to reduce expenses, the timing of new product introductions, the ability to obtain design wins among major OEMs for Trident's products, the availability of wafers from our suppliers, and competitive pressures, including pricing and competitors' new product introductions, the impact of the uncertain global macroeconomic environment, the increasingly competitive TV and Set Top Box semiconductor markets and our ability to retain key employees globally. Additional factors that may affect Trident's business are described in detail in Trident's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission available at http://www.sec.gov.

(1) Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets represents the amortization of identifiable intangible assets. Management deemed that |
|||||||||||
these acquisition-related charges are not related to Trident's core operating performance and it is appropriate to exclude those charges |
|||||||||||
from Trident's non-GAAP financial measures, as it enhances the ability of investors to compare Trident's period-over-period operating results. |
|||||||||||
(2) Stock-based compensation expense relates primarily to the equity awards such as stock options and restricted stock. This is non-cash expense that |
|||||||||||
varies in amount from period to period and is dependent on market forces that are often beyond Trident's control. Hence, management excludes this item |
|||||||||||
from the non-GAAP financial measures. |
|||||||||||
(3) Charges for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets incurred as a result of their carrying value exceeding the fair value. Management believes that these charges are not directly associated with the Company's core operating performance. |
|||||||||||
(4) Software license fees represent an adjustment for prior years' software usage. |
|||||||||||
(5) Stock options related professional fees are excluded from the non-GAAP net loss calculation. Management believes that these professional fees are |
|||||||||||
not related to the Company's ongoing business and operating performance of Trident. |
|||||||||||
(6) Acquisition-related expenses represent external costs incurred in connection with our acquisition, which we generally would not have incurred in the |
|||||||||||
normal course of business. |
|||||||||||
(7) Management believes that restructuring charges are not directly associated with the Company's core operating performance. |
|||||||||||
(8) The preliminary purchase price allocation assigned $48.5 million to gain on acquisition. Subsequently, in accordance with applicable |
|||||||||||
accounting guidance, the preliminary estimate was reduced by $5.1 million as a result of new information received by the Company |
|||||||||||
subsequent to March 31, 2010. Management believes that gain on acquisition is not related to the ongoing business and operating performance of Trident. |
