TAIPEI, Taiwan, May 12, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silicon Motion Technology
Corporation (Nasdaq:SIMO)(the "Company") today announced its first quarter 2009
financial results together with revisions to previously announced results from
the fourth quarter of 2008. For the first quarter of 2009, net sales decreased
33% to $21.5 million. Net loss for the first quarter (GAAP) was $1.4 million or
US$0.05 per diluted ADS.

Net loss excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges,
foreign exchange gain, and one-time items decreased in the first quarter to a
loss of US$0.8 million or US$0.03 per diluted ADS.

Revised Fourth Quarter 2008 Financial Review

When we reported our fourth quarter results in February, we reported unaudited
results. Following the report of our results, new material information regarding
the deteriorating financial condition of certain customers and more limited
growth prospects of several products, which are consequences of on-going
weakness in the global economic outlook, came to management's knowledge. The
majority of issues were largely related to our mobile communications business.
After careful examination, we have revised our fourth quarter results to account
for an increase in obsolete inventory reserves together with an increase in
reserves for doubtful accounts, described below.

Sales

Fourth quarter 2008 net sales of US$32.3 million were unchanged compared with
previously reported sales.

Gross and Operating Margins

Revised gross margins, excluding stock-based compensation, decreased from 50.3%
to 38.5% due to US$3.8 million of additional reserves for end-of-life and
obsolete inventory. Revised operating expenses increased by US$4.2 million
because of additional reserves for doubtful accounts. Revised operating expenses
for the fourth quarter, excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related
charges and one-time items were US$16.5 million compared with previously
reported total operating expenses of US$12.2 million.

Earnings

Revised net loss (GAAP) was US$8.2 million, or US$0.30 per diluted ADS, compared
with previously reported net loss of US$0.9 million, or US$0.03 per diluted ADS.
Revised net loss excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related
charges, foreign exchange gain, and one-time items was US$3.9 million, or
US$0.14 per diluted ADS, compared with previously reported net income of US$3.2
million, or US$0.11 per diluted ADS.

First Quarter 2009 Financial Review (1)

Commenting on the results of the first quarter, Silicon Motion's President and
CEO, Wallace Kou, said:

"As noted in our first quarter pre-announcement, our business continues to be
affected by the ongoing global economic slowdown, specifically weak end demand,
reduced supply of NAND flash components by chipmakers, and more intense
competition with other controller makers. Our revenue growth and profitability
have been impacted by these unfavorable industry conditions. Such factors also
contributed to the need to revise our previously released unaudited results from
the fourth quarter.

"The NAND flash industry this year will grow at a historically unprecedented low
growth rate. Because of weak consumer demand for NAND flash storage devices,
NAND flash chipmakers have been limiting production output by retiring old fabs,
operating their fabs at low utilization rates, and ramping more slowly new
capacity for the production of next generation flash. While these industry
actions have led to a rebound in NAND flash prices, they negatively affect the
availability of flash components to our customers, their related procurement of
controllers, and our revenues. Additionally, our gross margin was weaker than
expected this quarter because of slower transition by the flash industry to
next-generation, sub-50nm NAND products and a resulting sales mix with a larger
proportion coming from lower margin legacy controllers. This issue was
exacerbated by more competition among controller suppliers for a more limited
addressable market. Despite challenging near-term market conditions, we remain
optimistic about our long-term prospects, continue to execute well in bringing
to market next-generation solutions, and expect to benefit from the sales of
these next generation solutions in the near future. We continue to make progress
towards developing and introducing new products for next generation products
such as TLC NAND and controllers to utilize faster interfaces such as USB 3.0
and SD 3.0. We are confident that NAND flash growth will rebound as consumer
confidence returns and device makers continue adopting NAND flash as the
preferred media for digital data storage.

"Currently there are some bright spots in our business. Our mobile
communications product line, primarily our mobile TV and transceiver solutions,
has been executing according to plan and delivering on product roadmap and
revenue targets. We are seeing early validation of our diversification strategy
for our mobile communications business with our recent design-win at a tier one
handset vendor for our ISDB-T product for the Brazil market as well as wins at
various domestic Chinese handset vendors for our CDMA transceiver products.
Sales to China handset customers have been relatively solid, compared to sales
to customers in other regions."

Sales

Net sales in the first quarter totaled US$21.5 million, a decrease of 33%
compared with the previous quarter. This quarter, mobile storage products
accounted for 69% of net sales, mobile communications 22% of net sales, and
multimedia SoCs 9% of net sales.

Net sales of mobile storage products, which include flash memory card
controllers, USB flash drive controllers, card reader controllers, SSD
controllers, and embedded flash controllers, decreased 40% from the fourth
quarter of 2008 to US$14.8 million this quarter.

Net sales of mobile communication products, which include mobile TV IC
solutions, CDMA RF ICs, and electronic toll collection (ETC) RF ICs, increased
2% from the fourth quarter of 2008 to US$4.7 million in the first quarter.

Net sales of multimedia SoC products, which include embedded graphics
processors, MP3 SoCs, and PC camera SoCs, decreased 28% from the fourth quarter
of 2008 to US$1.9 million this quarter.

Gross and Operating Margins

Gross margin excluding stock-based compensation improved from 38.5% in the
fourth quarter to 44.1% this quarter. GAAP gross margin increased to 43.8% from
38.3% in the previous quarter.

Operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related
charges, and one-time items was US$10 million, which was lower than US$16.5
million in the previous quarter due to continued expense management as well as
delayed R&D and other expenses. Research and development expenditures, excluding
stock-based compensation, were US$5.6 million, which was lower than US$7.2
million in the previous quarter. Selling and marketing expenses excluding
stock-based compensation were US$2.0 million, which was lower than US$2.5
million in the previous quarter. General and administrative expenses excluding
stock-based compensation and litigation expenses were US$2.3 million, which was
lower than US$6.8 million in the previous quarter. Stock-based compensation was
US$1.7 million, which was less than US$2.1 million in the previous quarter.
Acquisition-related charges were US$1.4 million, which was slightly lower
compared to the US$1.5 million in the previous quarter. Litigation expenses
decreased from US$0.5 million in the fourth quarter 2008 to less than US$0.1
million in the first quarter.

Operating margin excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related
charges, and one-time items was a negative 2%, which was improved from the
negative 12.5% in the previous quarter. GAAP operating margin was negative
16.7%, which was improved from the negative 25.5% in the previous quarter.

Other Income and Expenses

Net total other income excluding impairment on long-term investment and net
foreign exchange gain was US$0.2 million, which was slightly less than US$0.3
million in the previous quarter. GAAP net total other income was US$2.7 million,
which was significantly higher than US$0.2 million in the previous quarter due
primarily to the impairment on long-term investment in the fourth quarter.

Earnings

Net loss excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, net
foreign exchange gain, and one-time items was US$0.8 million in this quarter, an
improvement from a loss of US$3.9 million in the previous quarter. Diluted loss
per ADS excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, net
foreign exchange gain, and one-time items was US$0.03, an improvement from a
loss per ADS of US$0.14 in the previous quarter.

GAAP net loss was US$1.4 million, which was less than a loss of US$8.2 million
in the previous quarter. Diluted GAAP loss per ADS was US$0.05, representing an
improvement from the loss of US$0.30 in the previous quarter.

Balance Sheet

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments increased from US$51.9
million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2008 to US$57.5 million at the end
of this quarter. The increase was primarily due to the reduction of working
capital. Other long term liabilities, which are comprised of loans from the
Korean government for financing R&D activities, decreased from US$1.4 million at
the end of the fourth quarter of 2008 to US$1.2 million at the end of this
quarter.

Cash Flow

Our cash flows were as follows:

During the first quarter of 2009, Silicon Motion spent US$0.6 million in capital
expenditures primarily relating to the purchase of software and equipment. There
were no shares repurchased in the first quarter.

Business Outlook:

Silicon Motion's President and CEO, Wallace Kou, added:

"We believe the supply of NAND flash components by chipmakers will continue to
be constrained in the second quarter and do not expect significant improvement
until the second half of this year. Even so, given the low utilization rate of
the NAND flash industry, any improvement in utilization rates could result in
significant increase in the availability of NAND flash components to our
customers and increase their procurement of companion controller ICs. We do not
believe current high price of flash and related constrained supply are
sustainable."

For the second quarter of 2009, management expects:

* Revenue to be up 5% to 15% sequentially
* Non-GAAP and GAAP gross margin to be in the 44% to 46% range
* Operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-
related charges, and one-time items of approximately US$12 to US$13
million

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, acquisition-related charges and one-time items, including non-GAAP
cost of sales, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP selling, general, and
administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and
non-GAAP earnings per diluted ADS. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance
with or an alternative for 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 it is 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 or these
individual items in our reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges incurred as a
result of the Company's adoption of SFAS 123R relating to the fair value of
stock options and 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 the application of SFAS 123R has on its operating
results.

Intangible amortization consists of non-cash charges that can be impacted by the
timing and magnitude of our acquisitions. The Company considers its operating
results without these charges when evaluating its ongoing performance and
forecasting its earnings trends, and therefore excludes such charges when
presenting non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that the assessment
of its operations excluding these costs is relevant to its assessment of
internal operations and comparisons to the performance of its competitors.

Litigation expenses consist of the legal expenses relating to complaints SanDisk
filed in the US International Trade Commission and the US District Court for the
Western District of Wisconsin.

Impairment of long-term investment relates to the other-than-temporary,
non-operating write down of the Company's minority stake investments in Spright
Co., Ltd and Vastview Technology Corp. These investments were written down after
the Company determined that these shares have been other-than-temporarily
impaired.

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

Forward-Looking Statements:

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including without limitation,
statements about Silicon Motion's expected second quarter 2009 revenue, gross
margin and operating expenses, all of which reflect management's estimates based
on information available at this time of this press release. While Silicon
Motion believes these estimates to be meaningful, these amounts could differ
materially from actual reported amounts for the second quarter. Forward-looking
statements also include, without limitation, statements regarding trends in the
multimedia consumer electronics market and our future results of operations,
financial condition and business prospects. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should,"
"expect," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict,"
"potential," "continue," or the negative of these terms or other comparable
terminology. Although such statements are based on our own information and
information from other sources we believe to be reliable, you should not place
undue reliance on them. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, and
actual market trends or our actual results of operations, financial condition or
business prospects may differ materially from those expressed or implied in
these forward looking statements for a variety of reasons. Potential risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our belief in the outcome of any
claim or lawsuit, including those uncertainties relating to litigation filed
against the Company relating to whether its products are covered by patents not
owned by the Company; unpredictable volume and timing of customer orders, which
are not fixed by contract but vary on a purchase order basis; the loss of one or
more key customers or the significant reduction, postponement, rescheduling or
cancellation of orders from these customers; integration of our recently
announced acquisitions; general economic conditions or conditions in the
semiconductor or consumer electronics markets; decreases in the overall average
selling prices of our products; changes in the relative sales mix of our
products; changes in our cost of finished goods; the availability, pricing, and
timeliness of delivery of other components and raw materials used in our
customers' products; our customers' sales outlook, purchasing patterns, and
inventory adjustments based on consumer demands and general economic conditions,
including the general global economic slowdown as it effects the Company, its
customers and consumers; our ability to successfully develop, introduce, and
sell new or enhanced products in a timely manner; and the timing of new product
announcements or introductions by us or by our competitors. For additional
discussion of these risks and uncertainties and other factors, please see the
documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed on May 12, 2008. We assume no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the
date of this press release.
