Q2 2009 Highlights
-- Leadis divested of its Touch sensor product assets for $6.25 million.
Leadis is now focused solely on the design, development and marketing of
LED drivers and controllers.
-- Leadis achieved 5 new LED driver design wins in the quarter.
-- Leadis announced availability of new LED products in three new product
families: its LDS8161 and LDS8141 for mobile backlight applications; its
LDS8680/81 and LDS8640/41 Flash LED drivers for camera-enabled handsets and
digital still cameras; and its LDS9001 and LDS9003 LED controllers for high-
power lighting applications.
Financial Results
Second quarter revenue was $2.8 million, slightly higher than the company's guidance. Second quarter gross profit was $0.5 million. Under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), second quarter net income was $2.7 million, or $0.09 per share, as compared with the $2.8 million, or $0.09 per share, net loss reported in the previous quarter and the $19.5 million, or $0.67 per share, net loss reported in the second quarter of 2008. The GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2009 included a net gain from the sale of the company's Touch sensor product assets. The GAAP net loss in the first quarter of 2009 included a net gain from sales of the company's display driver and audio product assets as well as assets related to a development stage power management product. The GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2008 included a charge for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets.
In addition to reporting GAAP results, the company reports non-GAAP results, which exclude the net gain on sales of assets and technology, stock-based compensation expense per FAS 123(R), acquisition-related expenses and restructuring charges. Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2009 was $1.9 million, or $0.06 per share, as compared to a net loss of $3.7 million, or $0.13 per share, in the first quarter of 2009 and a net loss of $8.2 million, or $0.28 per share, in the second quarter of 2008. A reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures is included in the financial statements portion of this press release.
Business Summary
"Second quarter revenue growth was 39% from the first quarter, albeit on a small base," said Mr. Tony Alvarez, President and CEO. "With the divestiture of the capacitive Touch sensor business, our operating expenses are expected to decrease to approximately $2.0 million in the third quarter. We have narrowed our focus to LED driver and controller products, and our recent product offerings position us for revenue growth at higher margins within this space. Our entry into the high power lighting market with the LDS9003 family enables us to leverage the intellectual property we developed for the low power consumer market into a rapidly growing new market."
Leadis introduced eight new LED driver products during the quarter, across three separate product families. "The LDS8161 and LDS8141 broaden the available market for our proprietary LED-Sense™ Temperature Sensing and Compensation Engine into a wider range of portable backlighting products," said Mr. Alvarez. "This technology is also available for high-power lighting applications through the introduction of our LDS9001 and LDS9003 LED controllers. These controllers enable system lighting designers to reduce the number of LEDs required to achieve the same level of luminescence by enabling the LEDs to safely operate at higher average temperatures. Additionally, we introduced our first LED drivers targeted at the camera-enabled handset and digital still camera spaces, the LDS8680/81 and LDS8640/41 products."
Q3 2009 Outlook
"We continue to see revenue growth in our legacy display driver products, and expect revenue momentum to build with our LED drivers through the remainder of the year," said Mr. Alvarez.
Based on information currently available to the company, expectations for the third quarter of 2009 are as follows:
-- Revenue is expected to be approximately $3.9 million.
-- Non-GAAP operating expenses will be approximately $2.0 million.

About Leadis Technology, Inc.
Leadis Technology, Inc., headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, designs, develops and markets analog and mixed-signal semiconductors that enable and enhance the features and capabilities of portable and consumer electronics devices.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Leadis reports financial information in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but believes that non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in evaluating its ongoing operating results and comparing its performance to comparable companies. Leadis management uses financial statements that exclude share-based compensation expense; gains and losses on sales of product assets; restructuring expenses, including severance; the impact of purchase accounting expenses, including in-process research and development expenses; amortization of purchased intangible assets; impairment charges for goodwill and other intangible assets; and retention expenses connected with acquisitions, to plan and evaluate its financial performance. Consequently, Leadis has excluded these expenses and charges in deriving calculations of net income (loss), net income (loss) per share, gross profit or margin and certain operating expenses (including cost of sales, research and development, selling, general and administrative, and provision for income taxes). Leadis believes the inclusion of these non-GAAP measures enhances the comparability of current results against the results of prior periods. These non-GAAP measures will enable investors to evaluate the company's operating results and business outlook in a manner similar to how the company internally analyzes its operating results and makes strategic decisions. Investors should note, however, that the non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as that of other companies. The company does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures alone or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures is included in the financial statements portion of this press release. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. For additional information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the Form 8-K regarding this press release furnished today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
