MoSys, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — November 3, 2011 — MoSys, Inc., (NASDAQ: MOSY), a leading provider of serial chip-to-chip communications solutions that deliver unparalleled bandwidth performance for next generation networking systems and advanced system-on-chip (SoC) designs, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Third Quarter and Recent Highlights

Management Commentary

“Revenue from license fees and royalties in the third quarter declined sequentially as our IP business was negatively impacted by global economic conditions and delays in customer acceptance of IP delivered under existing projects,” commented Len Perham, MoSys’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the current environment, we remain focused on further advancing our Bandwidth Engine family of ICs by continuing to engage with a growing list of prospective customers and partners. We recently achieved our first Bandwidth Engine design wins with two high-performance board suppliers. Additionally, the Bandwidth Engine IC is now being incorporated into system schematics at a number of design wins in progress with global networking equipment suppliers.

“During the quarter, we continued to make progress successfully demonstrating the interoperability of our Bandwidth Engine IC with high-performance network processing ASICs, such as those available from Avago Technologies. This achievement expands on our current interoperability success with FPGA devices from both Altera Corporation and Xilinx. We continue to work with both the network equipment companies and their SOC suppliers to further expand the acceptance and use of our GigaChip™ Interface for serial chip-to-chip applications in their future generations of line cards. Finally, we have now fully defined our next generation IC, Bandwidth Engine 2, and it has been released to the design team. Bandwidth Engine 2 will include significant performance upgrades and feature enhancements. We are very enthusiastic about the ongoing adoption of our revolutionary Bandwidth Engine family of products and look forward to sharing this information as it becomes available,” concluded Mr. Perham.

Third Quarter Results

Total net revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was $2.1 million, compared with $3.3 million reported in the second quarter of 2011 and $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2010.

Third quarter 2011 total revenue included licensing revenue of $0.8 million, compared with $1.2 million for the previous quarter and $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2010. Third quarter 2011 royalty revenue was $1.4 million, compared with $2.1 million in the previous quarter and $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2010.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2011 was 83 percent, compared with 86 percent in the second quarter of 2011 and 81 percent for the third quarter of 2010.

Total operating expenses on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2011 were $8.6 million, compared with $8.5 million in the previous quarter and $9.2 million for the third quarter of 2010. Third quarter 2011 operating expenses included $0.7 million of amortization of intangible assets and $0.9 million of stock-based compensation expense.

GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2011 was $6.9 million, or ($0.18) per share, compared with a net loss of $5.7 million, or ($0.15) per share, in the previous quarter and a net loss of $6.2 million, or ($0.19) per share, for the third quarter of 2010. The non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2011 was $5.3 million, or ($0.14) per share, which excludes amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense. Earnings per share for the third quarter of 2011 were computed using approximately 38.1 million shares on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results is provided in the financial statement tables following the text of this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement MoSys’ consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, MoSys uses non-GAAP financial measures that exclude from the statement of operations the effects of stock-based compensation and certain acquisition-related charges, including amortization of acquired intangible assets, transaction costs and contingent compensation charges. MoSys’ management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors and other interested persons because they are one of the primary indicators that MoSys’ management uses for planning and forecasting future performance. MoSys’ management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items is useful to investors because MoSys’ management does not consider these charges part of the day-to-day business or reflective of the core operational activities of the Company that are within the control of management or that would be used to evaluate management’s operating performance.

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which is provided in a table below the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. For additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, and management’s explanation of why it considers such measures to be useful, refer to the Form 8-K dated November 3, 2011, that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
