MoSys, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results

SUNNYVALE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—July 29, 2008— MoSys, Inc., (NASDAQ: MOSY), a leading provider of high-density system-on-chip (SoC) memory and analog/mixed-signal intellectual property (IP), today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Recent Highlights

Management Commentary

During the second quarter, we recorded sequential growth in both licensing and royalties, which resulted in a sequential increase in total revenue, stated Len Perham, MoSys President and Chief Executive Officer. We secured two additional license agreements with new customers for our DDI technology, which enables mobile handset manufacturers to cost effectively meet the design challenges of todays advanced handsets requiring both high resolution displays and multimedia functionality. Additionally, LG Electronics, a licensee of our DDI technology, began production shipments late in the first quarter.

Mr. Perham continued, With regard to our embedded flash technology, we expect to complete full foundry certification of our 1T-FLASH at the 130 nanometer process node. We continue to engage with our foundry partners and advanced integrated circuit SoC manufacturers for 1T-FLASH at the advanced 90 and 65 nanometer process nodes. Looking at our analog mixed signal IP, we demonstrated our front end Blu-Ray SoC IP in silicon to customers who are looking for comprehensive mixed signal functionality with all-format support in a single IP. The feedback we have received from these demonstrations has been encouraging, and we are in various levels of discussion with customers for applications in the home entertainment market. Also, we recently received our first order for our Serial ATA (SATA) Physical Layer (PHY) IP. This mixed signal IP is highly robust and can easily be integrated into a range of solutions targeted at the home entertainment, storage and PC markets.

Mr. Perham concluded, Going forward, we will continue to execute on our product development roadmap, align ourselves more closely with our foundry partners, increase our sales presence and secure new licensees, while maintaining strong relationships with our existing customer base.

Second Quarter Results

Total net revenue for the second quarter of 2008 was $3.2 million, compared with $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2008 and $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2007.

Second quarter total revenue included licensing revenue of $0.7 million, compared with $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2008 and $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2007. Royalty revenue for the second quarter was $2.5 million, which includes royalties associated with the Nintendo Wii game console. Second quarter royalty revenue compares to $2.4 million for the previous quarter and $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2007.

Gross margin as determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) was 74 percent, compared with 83 percent for the first quarter of 2008 and 84 percent for the second quarter of 2007.

Total operating expenses on a GAAP basis for the second quarter were $7.5 million, compared with $7.7 in the previous quarter and $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2007.

GAAP net loss for the quarter was $4.6 million, or ($0.14) per share, including stock-based compensation expense of $1.3 million and intangible asset amortization charges of $197,000. This compares with a net loss of $4.3 million, or ($0.14) per share, for the first quarter of 2008 and a net loss of $146,000, or ($0.00) per share, for the second quarter of 2007.

The net loss for the second quarter was $3.1 million, or ($0.10) per share, computed on a non-GAAP basis by excluding total stock-based compensation charges of $1.3 million and $197,000 in amortization charges. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the financial statement tables following the text of this press release.

Earnings per share for the quarter on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis were computed using 31,703,000 shares.

Cash, cash equivalents and both long and short-term investments totaled approximately $74.6 million as of June 30, 2008, compared to approximately $78.7 million as of December 31, 2007.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement MoSys consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP (U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), MoSys uses non-GAAP financial measures that exclude from the income statement the effects of stock-based compensation and the effects of certain charges related to acquired intangible assets and other acquisition-related charges from its acquisition of the analog/mixed-signal design teams and the companys extensive related design know-how from Atmel Corporation and LDIC in 2007. MoSys management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors and other interested persons because they are one of the primary indicators that MoSys management uses for planning and forecasting future performance. MoSys believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items is useful to investors because MoSys does not consider these charges part of the day-to-day business or reflective of the core operational activities of the Company that are within the control of management or that would be used to evaluate managements operating performance.

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which is provided in a table immediately below the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The non-GAAP 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 non-GAAP 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. For additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, and managements explanation of why it considers such measures to be useful, refer to the Form 8-K dated July 29, 2008, that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
