Second Quarter and First Half 2007 Highlights:
-- Reported gross margin of 59 percent in the second quarter
-- Achieved second quarter net income of $2.6 million, representing $0.12 earnings per diluted share on a GAAP basis
-- Grew revenues 25 percent during the first half 2007 when compared to the same period of 2006
Net revenue for the second quarter of 2007 was $14.7 million, compared to net revenue of $13.5 million in the preceding quarter and $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2006.
Net revenue in the second quarter for each of the Company's product lines consisted of $9.1 million in security surveillance, $1.5 million in LCD display, $3.9 million in video decoders and $238,000 in other revenue. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2007 was 59 percent, compared to gross margin of 57 percent in the preceding quarter and 59 percent in the same period a year ago. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2007 totaled $5.7 million, or 39 percent of total revenue. This compares to operating expenses of $5.0 million, or 37 percent of revenue, in the preceding quarter and $4.4 million, or 34 percent of revenue, in the same period a year ago.
Net income for the second quarter of 2007 totaled $2.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, which included pre-tax stock-based compensation expenses under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R (SFAS 123R) of $1.2 million, before the tax effect of $283,000, or a charge of $0.04 per diluted share. This compares to net income in the first quarter of 2007 of $2.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, and net income of $2.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2006. Shares used to compute GAAP net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2007 totaled approximately 21.8 million shares.
Cash and cash equivalents, short and long term investments increased by $3.9 million in the quarter resulting in cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term investments of approximately $60.9 million as of June 30, 2007, compared to approximately $54.5 million as of December 31, 2006.
"Business continued to be solid during the quarter driven by the success of our high-performance products for digital video applications. As a result, we recorded another quarter of year-over-year revenue growth and strong gross margins," stated Hiro Kozato, President and Chief Executive Officer of Techwell, Inc. "During the first six months of 2007, we continued to aggressively invest in research and development and expect as new products come to market they will drive future revenue growth."
Mr. Kozato further commented, "Revenue from security surveillance accounted for the majority of our revenue growth during the quarter due to the leading market share we have within this space. Our video decoder business grew sequentially and we anticipate this business to grow in 2008 with the introduction of our integrated audio/video decoder. With regard to LCD Display revenues, we continue to believe that our earlier design wins will result in significant future growth. However, we expect LCD Display revenues in the short term will remain constrained by the slowdown in the sale of vehicles installed with entertainment LCD displays and the lack of available small LCD panels. Overall, we are confident in our product road-map and believe we are well-positioned in the markets we serve."
Business Outlook
Techwell expects revenue for the third quarter of 2007 to be in a range of $14.5 million to $15.5 million.

Non-GAAP Reporting
Techwell reports both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to evaluate our financial results. The non-GAAP measures used are: net income, excluding stock-based compensation expense and related tax effect, and net income per diluted share, excluding stock-based compensation expense and related tax effect. We believe that the non-GAAP measures, excluding stock-based compensation expense, when viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported GAAP results, assist investors in understanding our results of operations. We also believe non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information for investors to evaluate our operating results in the same manner as the research analysts that follow Techwell, all of whom present non-GAAP projections in their published reports. As such, non-GAAP measures provided by Techwell facilitate a more direct comparison of its performance with the financial projections published by the analysts. However, non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
