2017-07-31 20:00 2423

TAIPEI, , July 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ: GIGM) today announced its second-quarter 2017 unaudited financial results.

Comments from Management

In the second quarter, the Company went through the transition to a new CEO and the Management has been reviewing the business strategies.

"In the past years, we could see some big fluctuation in traffic for social games. In order not to make our business seems like it's on the roller coaster, we now focus on seeking licensed games which have the potentials to be long-term hits instead of the ones live shortly like a flash in the pan.

GigaMedia will launch a new game this year and we are looking forward to improving performance and delivering positive operating income from mobile games which have long lifespan." said GigaMedia Limited Chief Executive Officer James Huang.

Second Quarter Overview

  • Comparing with the same quarter of 2016, operating revenue increased 51% and the gross profit increased 65.5% this quarter.
  • $1.75 million was received for transferring the license right of ArcheAge to XL Games Inc. and recorded in the non-operating income.
  • Cash flow from operation was with a net inflow of $1 million.
  • Total current assets increased $0.5 million and the total assets remain $70 million quarter-on-quarter.
  • Short-term debt remained the same amount at approximately $2.6 million comparing with the first quarter of 2017 and showed a decrease of almost $3 million comparing with the same quarter of 2016.
  • The net asset value was $5.4 per share.

(A) EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is provided as a supplement to results provided in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). (See, "Use of Non-GAAP Measures," for more details.) 

Second-Quarter Financial Results

  • Consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2017 decreased 24.8% quarter-on-quarter from $4.1 million to $3.1 million and increased 51.2% year-over-year from $2 million to $3.1 million.
  • Consolidated gross profit decreased 23.3% quarter-on-quarter from $2.3 million to $1.8 million and increased 65.5% year-over-year from $1.1 million to $1.8 million.
  • Consolidated operating expenses were $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2017. A decrease of $0.2 million from the first quarter of 2017 which reflected the decease of selling and marketing expense.
  • Consolidated loss from operation of the second quarter of 2017 was $0.7 million, slightly increased from the first quarter of 2017. The increased loss reflected lower proportions of game business revenues. However, a decrease of $0.5 million was seen in year-over-year comparison, the loss was down to $0.7 million from $1.3 million.
  • Consolidated non-operating income during the second quarter of 2017 was $1.6 million compared to a loss of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2016. Results in the second quarter of 2017 primarily included gains from the transaction of ArcheAge.
  • Consolidated net income of the second quarter of 2017 was $0.9 million compared to a loss of $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2017 and a loss of $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2016. The period variations primarily reflected the factors affecting income from operations and consolidated non-operating income.
  • Cash and marketable securities-current in the second quarter of 2017 accounted for $66.5 million which increased 1.68% from the first quarter of 2017.

Financial Position

GigaMedia maintained its solid financial position with cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities-current and restricted cash accounted for $67 million as of June 30, 2017, or $6 per share.

Business Outlook

The following forward-looking statements reflect GigaMedia's expectations as of July 31, 2017. Given potential changes in economic conditions and consumer spending, the evolving nature of online games, and various other risk factors, including those discussed in the Company's 2016 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as referenced below, actual results may differ materially.

Online Games Business

GigaMedia is repositioning its online games business to align itself with steady growth in licensed games. The Company is focusing on licensing in long-lifecycle games which allow us to build up communities, network our customers and accumulate games awareness; hence we will be able to maintain the stability in revenues. Management also targets to launch a new licensed game this year.

As for social games, the Company continues upgrading game server system and integrating the game development environment to enhance efficiencies and strengthen operations. One new slot game is targeted to launch in the third quarter.

Investment

The Company continues seeking suitable strategic investment and acquisition targets with sustainable business models worldwide to increase corporate growth and maximize 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.
