Management Commentary
Commenting on the Company’s first quarter financial performance, Len Perham, MoSys’ President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The first quarter remained challenging for MoSys due to the continued uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment as customers delayed or cancelled projects and tightly managed spending levels. During the quarter, we secured two new 1T-SRAM macro licenses, one of which we anticipate will be used in an application in a new market segment for our technology. Royalty revenue decreased from the previous quarter primarily due to the gradual transition by a major integrated device manufacturer licensee to an SoC utilizing a more advanced processing node. As a result of this transition, royalties that were previously being reported and recognized by us in the quarter in which the licensee shipped the SoCs are now being reported and recognized by us in the quarter subsequent to shipment. In response to the global economic crisis, we continued to closely manage expenses while also completing our exit from the analog/mixed-signal product lines, which contributed to a sequential decrease in total operating expenses.”
Mr. Perham continued, “In order to position the Company for future growth, we remain focused on furthering the proliferation of our proven 1T-SRAM technology, strengthening our foundry partnerships, bringing our 1T-FLASH product to market and leveraging our patented IP for the development of new products to serve an expanded available market. 1T-SRAM remains the cost effective solution of choice for designs where high-density, embedded memory is a requirement.”
First Quarter Results
Total net revenue for the first quarter of 2009 was $2.6 million, compared with $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 and $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2008.
First quarter total revenue included licensing revenue of $524,000, compared with $859,000 for the fourth quarter of 2008 and $432,000 for the first quarter of 2008. Royalty revenue for the first quarter was $2.0 million, which includes royalties associated with the Nintendo Wii game console. First quarter royalty revenue compares with $3.1 million for the previous quarter and $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2008.
Gross margin as determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) was 87.5 percent, compared with 83.8 percent for the fourth quarter of 2008 and 83.0 percent for the first quarter of 2008.
Total operating expenses on a GAAP basis for the first quarter were $6.5 million, compared with $9.8 million for the previous quarter and $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2008.
GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $4.1 million, or ($0.13) per share, including a restructuring charge of $275,000 and stock-based compensation expense of $447,000. This compares with a net loss of $6.3 million, or ($0.20) per share, for the fourth quarter of 2008 and a net loss of $4.3 million, or ($0.14) per share, for the first quarter of 2008.
The non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter was $3.4 million, or ($0.11) per share, excluding restructuring and stock-based compensation charges. A reconciliation of GAAP results 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 31,322,000 shares.
Cash, cash equivalents and both long and short-term investments totaled approximately $62.0 million as of March 31, 2009, compared with approximately $67.5 million as of December 31, 2008. The decrease in cash and investments included expenditures of approximately $1.0 million related to the exit of the analog/mixed-signal product lines and approximately $0.9 million of stock repurchases.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement MoSys’ consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, MoSys uses non-GAAP financial measures that exclude from the income statement the effects of restructuring and asset impairment charges related to the Company’s exit from its analog/mixed-signal product lines, stock-based compensation and the effects of certain charges related to acquired intangible assets and other acquisition-related charges. 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 management’s 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 management’s explanation of why it considers such measures to be useful, refer to the Form 8-K dated April 28, 2009, that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
