Business Outlook
“Our client SSD controller sales momentum continues to improve as the cost of NAND has been falling and SSDs are becoming increasingly affordable,” said Wallace Kou, President and CEO of Silicon Motion.  “Full-year sales of our client SSD controllers are now tracking towards a 35% growth rate.  We believe this positive trend will extend further next year.  However, both our SSD solutions and eMMC+UFS controller sales are tracking below prior expectation due to product transition timing and weaker end-market demand. Nevertheless, in spite of weaker than expected sales for the full year, we anticipate that our full-year margins will be better than expected because of stronger SSD controller sales and believe our earnings growth remains strong.”

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 and other items, including gross profit (non-GAAP), operating expenses (non-GAAP), operating profit (non-GAAP), net income (non-GAAP), and earnings per diluted ADS (non-GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to 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.
