Silicon Motion Announces Results for the Period Ended June 30, 2023

Second quarter sales increased 13% Q/Q and decreased 44% Y/Y


Business Review
Wallace Kou, President & CEO of Silicon Motion commented:

“Our business in the second quarter improved as inventory levels at our customers and at PC and handset OEMs continue to come down. We are continuing to see improving order patterns with many of our customers, leading to better visibility and giving us greater conviction for a market recovery towards the end of this year. This led us to accelerate and pull-in design activity this quarter to ensure that we have the right products for our customers to be better positioned and be more competitive later this year. While this has reduced our operating profitability in the second quarter, we believe that these investments will drive stronger revenue growth later this year and expect our operating expense growth will moderate in the second half to deliver higher operating margins throughout the rest of 2023.”

“While the first half of 2023 was challenging, we are optimistic that the industry is well positioned for recovery and growth in the second half of this year. We continue to work closely with our customers to ensure that our roadmaps are aligned to deliver the best-in-class controllers for their storage solutions powering PCs and mobile devices. We are optimistic that inventory levels in the industry will continue to come down as end-market demand stabilizes and improves. We expect that our third quarter 2023 sales will grow 15% to 20% QoQ, and our third quarter 2023 gross margin will be similar or slightly improved QoQ. We believe that we are well positioned to drive long-term growth of our business and increase our profitability levels.”

On July 26, 2023, Silicon Motion and MaxLinear received antitrust approval from the State Administration for Market Regulation in the People’s Republic of China (“SAMR Approval”). After receiving SAMR Approval, Silicon Motion received from MaxLinear a notice of purported termination of the Transaction. Silicon Motion believes that it has complied with its obligations under the merger agreement and Silicon Motion has not suffered a material adverse effect, and as a result that the termination notice is not valid. Silicon Motion expects MaxLinear to abide by its obligations under the merger agreement and intends to vigorously enforce its rights thereunder.
