Under the terms of the agreements, Infineon and Qimonda together will pay Tessera a total of $50 million in cash plus future royalties for licenses to Tessera's Compliant Chip (TCC) technology. The agreement provides Infineon and Qimonda access to Tessera patented semiconductor packaging technology.
"With the recent signing of Micron Technology, Infineon and Qimonda, Tessera is now being paid royalties for the use of our chip scale packaging technology by licensees representing more than 80 percent of the DRAM market in 2005, according to Gartner Dataquest," stated Bruce McWilliams, Tessera's chairman, president and chief executive officer. "These settlements were key steps toward our long-term goal of collecting royalties on more than 80 percent of all packages shipped using our chip scale and multi-chip packaging technology. We believe this goal will roughly translate to being paid on 11 billion units in 2008 versus 2.9 billion units in 2005."
Revenue Highlights: Second Quarter 2006
-- Total revenue was $24.3 million.
-- Royalties and License Fees were $19.5 million.
-- Payments for past production were $1.4 million.
-- Services revenue was $3.3 million.
GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2006 was $1.2 million, or $0.03 per share. In the process of securing the Micron settlement, Tessera expended approximately $7 million in additional legal fees for the second quarter, which included a portion of a one time success fee relating to the Micron agreement. This portion of the success fee and other legal expenses were recognized in the second quarter. A $30 million payment from Micron and a $50 million payment from Infineon, as part of the license agreements, will be recognized as revenue in the third quarter.
Pro forma net income for the second quarter of 2006 was $711,000 and pro forma net income per diluted share was $0.01. Pro forma net income is defined as income adjusted for non-cash tax expense and stock-based compensation. Pro forma net income per share equals pro forma net income divided by the weighted diluted share count as of that period end.
Mike Forman, Tessera's interim chief financial officer, stated, "Tessera's full year outlook and long-term growth has been significantly strengthened by the Micron and Infineon transactions. The combined settlements will result in approximately $76 million, classified as past production payments, in the third quarter. Royalty payments for the third quarter shipments for both Micron and Infineon will begin in the fourth quarter, as we recognize royalty revenue one quarter in arrears. We expect Micron and Infineon will be significant royalty paying customers for years to come. We now anticipate royalties for 2006 will grow as much as 70 percent over 2005, even if no further settlements or new licensing agreements are reached during the remainder of this year."
Revenue Highlights: Six-month Period Ended June 30, 2006
-- Total revenue was $47.9 million.
-- Royalties and License Fees were $38.9 million.
-- Payments for past production were $1.6 million.
-- Services revenue was $7.4 million.
GAAP net income for the six-month period was $159,000 or $0.00 per share. Pro forma net income for the six-month period was $7.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share.
McWilliams continued, "Our royalties and license fees grew 55 percent in the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to last year's period. Key drivers continued to be the expanding wireless, consumer and computing electronics industries. With DDR2 as a major user of Tessera's technology, we are in the fastest growing segment of the memory market.
"In July, we completed the acquisition of Digital Optics, through which Tessera entered the field of consumer optics. Tessera intends to introduce a broad range of technologies that enable smaller and lower cost camera phones, next generation DVD drives, and other optical products. We also broadened our Shellcase portfolio with the introduction of the SHELLCASE(R) CF technology platform, which allows us to target the high volume image sensors for camera phones. Overall, we are on track with our long-term strategy to expand our technology portfolio and are well-positioned to generate significant royalties and earnings growth for years to come."

Pro Forma Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company's earnings release contains pro forma financial measures that are adjusted for non-cash tax expense, and stock compensation and the requirements of SFAS No. 123R, "Share-based Payment" ("123R"). The pro forma financial measures used by management and disclosed by the company exclude the income statement effects of non-cash tax expense, and all forms of stock compensation and the effects of 123R upon the number of diluted shares used in calculating pro forma earnings per share. The pro forma 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 pro forma 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.
Set forth below are reconciliations of the pro forma income to our reported GAAP net income/(loss).
