GigaMedia Announces Second-Quarter 2023 Financial Results

· Issued by Gigamedia Limited via PR Newswire

TAIPEI, July 31, 2023  /PRNewswire/ -- GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ: GIGM) today announced its second-quarter 2023 unaudited financial results.

Comments from Management

In the second quarter of 2023, GigaMedia reported revenues of $1.03 million, with a gross profit $0.57 million, an operating loss of $0.92 million and the net loss of $0.56 million. Total revenues decreased by 22.6% if compared to the previous quarter.

The decrease in revenues was mainly as a result of seasonality, as the second quarter is usually a slower season than the first. Currently we focused on fine-tuning the operation of our casual games and customer platform for upcoming summer vacation.

Second Quarter Overview

  • Operating revenues decreased by approximately 22.6% quarter-on-quarter, to $1.03 million from $1.33 million in last quarter, and decreased by 24.8% year-over-year from $1.36 million the same period last year. The decrease from last quarter was mainly due to seasonality from high peak during winter vacation in the previous quarter.
  • Gross profit decreased by 28.5% to $0.57 million from $0.79 million in last quarter, and decreased by 26.9% compared to $0.77 million in the same period last year.
  • The net asset value was $4.32 per share.

Financial Position

GigaMedia maintained its solid financial position, with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash amounted to $37.8 million, or $3.42 per share, as of June 30, 2023.

Business Outlook

The following forward-looking statements reflect GigaMedia's expectations as of July 31, 2023. Given potential changes in economic conditions and consumer spending, the evolving nature of digital entertainments, and various other risk factors, including those discussed in the Company's 2022 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as referenced below, actual results may differ materially.

"In the second half of 2023, we will dedicate ourselves to boosting the productivity of our products and services. GigaMedia will stick to the strategy of pursuing healthy growth with a lean operation while seeking for strategic expansion and new business," stated GigaMedia CEO James Huang.

As for new business, our management continues evaluating and pursuing prospects of strategic investment targets that are with potential to expand our business and create greater shareholder value.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement GigaMedia's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with US GAAP, the Company uses the following measure defined as non-GAAP by the SEC: EBITDA. Management believes that EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is a useful supplemental measure of performance because it excludes certain non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization and that EBITDA is a measure of performance used by some investors, equity analysts and others to make informed investment decisions. EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure under GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of using EBITDA is that it does not include all items that impact the company's net income for the period. Reconciliations to the GAAP equivalents of the non-GAAP financial measures are provided on the attached unaudited financial statements.
