MoSys, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Achieved Record Quarter of New Design Wins

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — November 4, 2015MoSys, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOSY), a leader in semiconductor solutions that enable fast, intelligent data access for network and communications systems, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Third Quarter and Recent Developments

Management Commentary

"The third quarter was our best design win quarter to date, primarily driven by our Bandwidth Engine products," commented Len Perham, president and CEO of MoSys. "These additional design wins with both new and existing customers expand the number of applications we serve, while broadening our customer base and increasing the scope of our market penetration. We now anticipate that we will exceed our corporate goal to double design wins year over year.

"Our product portfolio is also increasing. We taped out Bandwidth Engine 3 in the quarter and recently announced the first three ICs in this new product family, including the MSRZ30 designed for use with the EZchip NPS-400 network processor. We also introduced a new family of LineSpeed Flex 100G PHY ICs comprised of five new devices and have customer engagements in process."

Mr. Perham concluded, "In summary, during the quarter, we achieved further progress by broadening our customer base, significantly increasing our design win count and introducing new products that will expand our market opportunities. The design wins secured in 2012 and 2013 have begun to ramp into early production volumes. While production ramp rates can vary, we anticipate this upward trend will continue as we move into 2016. We remain encouraged by the total number of design wins secured in the quarter, as well as the high level of activity in our sales funnel. With a broader range of applications benefiting from our high-performance products and solutions, we are well positioned to achieve additional progress going forward."

Third Quarter Results

Total net revenue for the third quarter of 2015 was $1.0 million, consistent with the previous quarter and compared with $1.1 million reported in the third quarter of 2014.

Third quarter 2015 total revenue included product revenue of $0.6 million as compared with $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $0.4 million in the year ago period. Royalty and other revenue for the third quarter of 2015 was $0.5 million, consistent with the previous quarter and compared with $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2014.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2015 was 22 percent, compared with 43 percent in the second quarter of 2015 and 61 percent for the third quarter of 2014. The sequential decrease in gross margin was due primarily to a $0.2 million reserve recorded in the quarter to cost of goods sold for slow-moving Bandwidth Engine 1 inventory.

Total operating expenses on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2015 were $10.3 million, compared with $7.3 million in the previous quarter and $9.2 million for the third quarter of 2014. The sequential increase in operating expenses was primarily due to tape-out expenses for Bandwidth Engine 3 and LineSpeed products. The Company does not expect to incur additional tape-out expenses in 2015, but may incur additional tape-out expenses in 2016. Third quarter 2015 operating expenses included $0.8 million in amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense.

GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2015 was $10.1 million, or ($0.15) per share, compared with a net loss of $6.9 million, or ($0.11) per share, in the previous quarter and a net loss of $8.5 million, or ($0.17) per share, for the third quarter of 2014. Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2015 was $9.3 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 2015 were computed using approximately 65.3 million weighted 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 amortization of recorded intangible assets. 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 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 4, 2015, that the company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
