SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb 08, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Silicon Image, Inc. (Nasdaq: SIMG), a leader in semiconductors for the secure storage, distribution and presentation of high-definition content, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2006. Silicon Image also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program.

Fourth Quarter 2006 Financial Highlights
-- Record fourth quarter 2006 revenue of $87.0 million, including $66.3 million in product and $20.7 million in licensing revenue. Fourth quarter licensing revenue included $11.8 million of royalty revenue from the Settlement and License Agreement with Genesis Microchip, Inc., which was announced on Dec. 21, 2006, of which $10.6 million related to royalties earned prior to the fourth quarter of 2006. Total fourth quarter revenue increased 41.7 percent compared with the same quarter of 2005 and 11.0 percent compared with the prior quarter.
-- Fourth quarter gross margins of 61.6 percent compared with 58.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005 and 58.2 percent in the prior quarter. Gross margins for the fourth quarter of 2006 when adjusted for the $10.6 million of Genesis royalties from earlier periods and excluding stock compensation were 57.3 percent compared with 58.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005 and 59.2 percent in the prior quarter.
-- Record fourth quarter GAAP net income of $26.3 million, or $0.29 per diluted share. In comparison, GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $12.6 million, or $0.15 per diluted share. GAAP net income for the prior quarter was $8.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share.
-- Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $18.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted share. In comparison, non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $13.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the prior quarter was $21.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share.
2006 Growth Fueled by HDMI
Total revenue for 2006 was $295.0 million, increasing 38.9 percent from $212.4 million for 2005. Year-over-year growth in revenue associated with sales into consumer electronic markets, the company's largest category, was largely driven by the expanding adoption of High-Definition Multimedia Interface(TM) (HDMI(TM)) by digital TV (DTV) manufacturers.
Net income on a GAAP basis for 2006 totaled approximately $42.5 million, or $0.49 per diluted share. Net income on a GAAP basis for 2005, totaled approximately $49.5 million, or $0.59 per diluted share.
Net income on a non-GAAP basis for 2006 totaled approximately $68.9 million, or $0.79 per diluted share. Net income on a non-GAAP basis for 2005, totaled approximately $46.2 million, or $0.55 per diluted share. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP income is included in the summary financial information attached to this press release.
Cash and short-term investments increased by $99.1 million to approximately $250.6 million or $2.81 per share on a diluted basis at the end of fourth quarter 2006, compared with $151.6 million at the end of 2005.
"2006 was a banner year in revenue and profitability for Silicon Image," said Steve Tirado, president and CEO. "While we expect a seasonally soft March quarter, I am looking forward to another year of solid revenue growth for Silicon Image.
"I am encouraged by customer response to our expanded product line of recently introduced chips, including a family of HDMI input processor switches, and second generation SteelVine storage processors," said Tirado "Our 2007 design wins with many of the top-tier consumer electronics manufacturers, growing momentum for our industry-first HDMI 1.3 products, HDMI's expanding CE adoption and penetration into PC market, and increased usage of eSATA for storage products position us to resume sequential growth in the June quarter.
"Looking beyond 2007," Tirado continued, "our recent strategic activities to acquire additional and complementary IP and engineering talent, we believe, will accelerate and enhance our position to serve our top-tier customers with leading-edge DTV, connectivity and storage products."
Recent Highlights
-- Strengthened IP Portfolio, Engineering Resources and SoC Design Capabilities:
- Acquired in Jan. 2007 for a net $13.6 million in an all cash
transaction from Infineon Technologies AG, sci-worx GmbH (now Silicon
Image Germany), a leading intellectual property (IP) and design
service provider specializing in multimedia, communications, and
networking applications. Silicon Image Germany has approximately 172
employees, more than 80 percent of whom are engineers. The
acquisition brings Silicon Image core competencies in and derives
revenues from more than 50 IP products in the area of video/image
processing, wireline communications, security and bus interfaces.
- Signed a cross licensing agreement in Feb. 2007 with Sunplus
Technology Co., Ltd. to license the use of, and the right to further
develop advanced IP for video processors and DTV products. Silicon
Image will pay Sunplus $40 million upon delivery and completion of
certain milestones. The Sunplus IP, along with the engineering talent
and IP recently acquired in the sci-worx transaction, is expected to
further enhance and accelerate Silicon Image's ability to provide
top-tier consumer electronics customers with a full line of
integrated circuits, ranging from industry-leading discrete HDMI
chips, new integrated front-end DTV input processors and fully-
integrated System-on-a-Chip (SoC) DTV products that advance a new
architecture for premium HD content access throughout the home and
mobile environment.
-- Expanded product line:
- A new series of integrated HDTV input processors, including the
SiI9153 and SiI9155, which support multiple HDMI 1.3 ports with video
resolutions of up to 1080p at 60Hz and 36 bits-per-pixel color depth
and legacy analog video inputs for DTVs. These new processors allow
consumers to enjoy the highest quality content on their HDTVs
transmitted by a new generation of consumer products, such as the
Sony PlayStation 3(TM) or Samsung's BD-P1200 Blu-ray Disc player. In
addition, Silicon Image's input processors support the new, lossless
compressed digital audio formats available in HDMI 1.3: Dolby(R)
TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio(TM), as well as other HDMI-supported
audio formats, including high-bandwidth uncompressed digital audio
and compressed formats such as Dolby(R) Digital, DTS and Super Audio
CD (SACD).
- A new family of HDMI 1.3 switches, including the SiI9181 and SiI9185.
The new, cost-effective HDMI 1.3 switches enable multiple HDMI source
devices to connect to HDTVs with frequency of operation up to 225
megahertz (MHz), allowing consumers to enjoy Deep Color(TM) content.
- A new mid-range HDMI 1.2 transmitter solution: the new SiI9034
extends Silicon Image's broad line of advanced HDMI transmitters that
includes the world's best-selling HDMI transmitter, the SiI9030, and
the high-end SiI9134. The SiI9034 is intended for use in set-top
boxes (STBs), DVD recorders and DVD players.

effective storage solution that is simple, scalable, reliable and
secure. The processor, part of the second generation of SteelVine
processors, offers advanced storage capabilities including automatic
drive locking, drive cascading for dynamic capacity expansion,
RAID 0, RAID 1 and two multi-RAID modes, SAFE33 and SAFE50, without
requiring any software, drivers or special user knowledge.
-- HDMI continues to gain traction:
- Total number of companies having adopted HDMI now total over 500, up
approximately 200 firms from one year ago, including more than 100
companies in China. In November, 2006 the market research firm In-
Stat projected an estimated 63 million HDMI-enabled devices were
shipped worldwide in 2006 and that another 130 million such devices
would be shipped in 2007.
- The Consumer Electronics Association awarded HDMI Licensing, LLC, on
behalf of the HDMI Founders, its International CES Innovations 2007

Hitachi, Matsushita (Panasonic), Philips, Silicon Image, Sony,
Thomson and Toshiba.
- The introduction of Microsoft's new operating system in Jan. 2007,
Vista, with its content digital rights management requirements, has
generated increased interest by PC manufacturers in HDMI
connectivity. More than 50 HDMI PC products are currently available,
including nearly two dozen desktop and notebook PCs, families of HDMI
PC monitors from major manufacturers and a broad range of
motherboards and graphics cards with HDMI outputs.
- Simplay Labs, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Silicon Image, has

Outlook
Silicon Image expects
- Revenue for the full year 2007 to range between $340 million and
$360 million driven by higher licensing, new products and wider HDMI
penetration.
- Revenue for the first quarter ending March 31, 2007 to range between
$68 million and $72 million, a decrease of approximately 6 to 11
percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2006, after adjusting for
the Settlement and License Agreement with Genesis Microchip, Inc.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Silicon Image reports net income and basic and diluted net income per share in accordance with GAAP and supplementally on a non-GAAP basis for informational purposes only. Silicon Image believes that the non-GAAP reporting giving effect to the adjustments shown in the attached reconciliation addresses the lack of comparability between periods presented with respect to stock-based compensation as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R and other items provides management with meaningful information to evaluate operations, manage and monitor performance and determine bonus compensation. Silicon Image's presentation of non-GAAP financial information excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets recorded in connection with our acquisitions, gain on investment security and the non- cash portion of the income tax provision recorded to additional paid in capital. Silicon Image has chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of our operating results and to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to such non-GAAP adjustments. Management excludes the tax expense (benefit) when reviewing our performance because it depends upon the timing of stock option exercises, which are outside of our control and are unrelated to our ongoing business operations. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

(1) For the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2006, these
adjustments represent the non-cash amortization of stock-based
compensation associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. For the three
months and twelve months ended December 31, 2005, these adjustments
represent stock-based compensation (benefit) associated with stock option
modifications, including repricings, and certain stock options issued to
employees of acquired companies and to non-employees in exchange for
services, net of tax. Stock-based compensation (benefit) in 2005
fluctuated in large part based on changes in our stock price. Management
excludes this expense (benefit) because of the lack of comparability
between periods as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R. In addition,
when reviewing our cost of revenue and operating expenses management does
not consider this expense (benefit) to be relevant to an assessment of our
ongoing operations.
(2) This adjustment represents the reversal of royalty revenue and
reversal of contra expense for reimbursement of litigation expenses from
Genesis for all quarters prior to Q4' 2006 for the quarter ending
December 31, 2006, and all quarters prior to 2006 for the year ending
December 31, 2006, net of tax.
(3) This adjustment represents expenses for the amortization of intangible
assets recorded in connection with our acquisitions. These on-going
expenses pertain to intangible assets that are not expected to be replaced
when fully amortized, as might a depreciable tangible asset.
(4) This adjustment represents the non-cash tax benefits from employee
stock transactions and other discrete items included in the GAAP tax
provision and recorded to additional paid in capital.
(5) This adjustment relates to warrants and stock received by the company
from a transaction involving the licensing of certain of our intellectual
property. These types of losses are infrequent and unusual, and reflect
market and other conditions unrelated to our ongoing business operations.
