Trident Microsystems Reports Results for Third Quarter Ended Sept. 30, 2010
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trident Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRID), a leader in high-performance semiconductor system solutions for the connected home, today announced results for its third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2010.
For the quarter, the company reported net revenues of $176.6 million, which compares with $171.6 million in the prior sequential quarter and $31.1 million in the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2009. On a generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis, the company reported a net loss for the quarter of $17.5 million, or $0.10 per share. This compares with a net loss of $48.8 million, or $0.28 per share in the prior sequential quarter and a net loss of $17.2 million, or $0.25 per share, in the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2009.
Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter was $0.0 million, or $0.00 per share, which compares with a non-GAAP net loss of $14.6 million, or $0.08 per share, in the prior sequential quarter and a non-GAAP net loss of $11.6 million, or $0.17 per share, in the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2009. A detailed reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP net income (loss) is provided as a supplement to the attached financial statements.
Sylvia Summers, Trident's chief executive officer, said, "Results for the quarter were in line with our guidance. We achieved increases in both our TV and Set-Top Box product revenues, along with improved gross margins and lower operating expenses in line with our integration plans. In addition, we achieved non-GAAP operating breakeven and positive cash flow a full quarter ahead of the plan we outlined upon announcing the acquisition of the NXP product lines one year ago."
Ms. Summers continued, "Looking to the fourth quarter, we expect Trident revenues will be down 20 to 25 percent from the seasonally strong third quarter as our TV business is impacted by both industry softness and share loss from supply constraints earlier in the year, partially offset by a modest increase in our Set-Top Box business. In total, we expect to be cash flow neutral in the fourth quarter as the decline in revenues is offset by further spending reductions from our acquisition-related restructuring activities. Based on a preliminary view of 2011 demand and design wins, we currently expect the TV industry softness to continue into the seasonally weak first quarter, while we expect full year Trident revenues to be similar to 2010 and operations to be cash flow positive for the year. Just as importantly, over the next few quarters we expect to begin sampling the first products that feature the best of Trident's impressive IP portfolio acquired over the past 18 months. These are the products that we believe will drive market share and revenue gains coming out of next year."
Outlook
For the quarter ending Dec. 31, 2010, Trident is providing the following 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.

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 income (loss) gives 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, non-GAAP net income (loss) is 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 adjustment, 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. (9) Management believes that (Gain) loss on investments are not related to the ongoing business and operating performance of Trident. (10) Management believes that legal settlements are not related to the ongoing business and operating performance of Trident. |
