TAIPEI, Taiwan and MILPITAS, Calif., Jan. 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (NasdaqGS: SIMO) (“Silicon Motion” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. For the fourth quarter, net sales decreased sequentially to $123.4 million from $138.6 million in third quarter 2018. Net income (GAAP) decreased to $17.3 million or $0.48 per diluted ADS (GAAP) from a net income (GAAP) of $29.2 million or $0.81 per diluted ADS (GAAP) in third quarter 2018.

For the fourth quarter, net income (non-GAAP) decreased to $30.2 million or $0.83 per diluted ADS (non-GAAP) from a net income (non-GAAP) of $34.5 million or $0.95 per diluted ADS (non-GAAP) in third quarter 2018.

Fourth Quarter 2018 Review
“Our fourth quarter sales declined as expected, near the midpoint of guidance,” said Wallace Kou, President and CEO of Silicon Motion. “Our client SSD controller sales weakened largely due to more cautious than expected procurement of NAND flash from module makers that face the transitional risk of operating during a period of rapidly falling NAND prices. Our eMMC+UFS controller sales declined because of weak smartphone sales. Sales of our Shannon data center SSDs declined while our Ferri industrial SSDs increased.”
