Himax Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2009 Financial Results


Highlights:

  • Market share expansion in small- and medium-sized display driver segment in 2009, with handset display drivers shipment increasing more than 50% year-over-year
  • Fourth quarter 2009 gross margin in-line, while revenues and EPS beat prior guidance
  • First quarter 2010 guidance: revenues to remain flat or increase slightly; gross margin to decline by less than one percentage point; GAAP earnings per ADS to be in the range of 4-6 cents

TAINAN, Taiwan, Feb. 8, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Himax Technologies, Inc. ("Himax" or "Company") (Nasdaq:HIMX) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2009.

For the fourth quarter of 2009, Himax reported net revenues of $178.7 million, representing a 43.8% increase from $124.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, and a 12.0% decrease from $203.1 million in the third quarter of 2009. Gross margin was 20.0% in the fourth quarter of 2009, down one percentage point year-over-year, and down 0.4 percentage points, sequentially. Operating income in the fourth quarter was $13.1 million, as compared to operating loss of $21.3 million for the same period last year, as compared to operating income of $10.8 million in the previous quarter.

Net income attributable to Himax stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $11.0 million or $0.06 per diluted ADS, beating the Company's previous guidance, up from net loss of $13.2 million or $0.07 per diluted ADS in the fourth quarter of 2008, and up from $8.8 million or $0.05 per diluted ADS in the third quarter of 2009.  

Excluding share-based compensation and acquisition-related charges, non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $15.4 million, up from non-GAAP operating loss of $18.8 million in the same period last year, and down from $20.0 million in the previous quarter.

Non-GAAP net income attributable to Himax stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $12.6 million or $0.07 per diluted ADS, up from non-GAAP net loss of $10.9 million or $0.06 per diluted ADS in the fourth quarter of 2008, and down from $16.2 million or $0.09 per diluted ADS in the third quarter of 2009.

Reconciliation of gross margin, operating margin, net margin and diluted EPS excluding share-based compensation and acquisition-related charges, a non-GAAP financial measure, to GAAP gross margin, GAAP operating margin, GAAP net margin and diluted GAAP EPS, most comparable GAAP figure, is set out in the accompanying reconciliation schedule.

Numbers for shares outstanding and relevant information in the financial statements of the Company's common stocks are retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the effect of the recapitalization plan approved by the Company's stockholders in the general meeting on August 6, 2009. The recapitalization plan led to change in par value of the stock and doubled the total share count, with ADS ratio changing to one ADS representing two common stocks.

Jordan Wu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Himax, commented, "2009 was a dramatic while challenging year for the TFT-LCD industry and us. Starting from the later part of 2008, the global financial crisis had adversely impacted the demand of TFT-LCD panels. As a result, the whole TFT-LCD industry suffered from over-supply and experienced significant pricing pressure. This extremely tough operating environment continued as we entered into 2009. To almost everybody's surprise, demand of TFT-LCD panels rebounded strongly with short notice. Ever since then, the main challenge of the entire supply chain has been the ability for rush order fulfillment."

Mr. Wu continued, "Among our small-and-medium display drivers, share gain in the worldwide handset display drivers was particularly remarkable, with shipment growing more than 50% year-over-year, from both the international brands and the Chinese brands. Our focus is to continue to expand our market share in this strategic segment with our competitive product offering and services. 2009 was also a remarkable year for our non-driver products, we commenced shipments of our white LED driver and CMOS image sensor product lines. Though both were in small quantities initially, we believe the commercial shipment is paving the way for us to tap the great market potential in these two emerging segments.

"During the past year, we further strengthened our leadership in the world's emerging pico-projector industry with a solid shipment record and increasing new design-wins. Notably, our LCOS pico-projector solutions enabled the world's first projector-embedded digital camera, marking another milestone in the field of innovation. Recent customer feedback and intensive design-in activities firmly support our belief that 2010 will be a promising year for our LCOS pico-projector solutions. As both orders and design-ins are picking up strongly, we are planning to expand our in-house capacity to fulfill the increasing demand for our LCOS panels. Looking into 2010 and beyond, we expect to see increasing adoptions of our LCOS pico-projector solutions by our customers in various applications.

"We are proud to announce that our TV and monitor chipset product line multiplied in revenues during the past year. We also have been working closely with our customers in commercializing our innovative technologies, such as iCT, or infinite color technology, and our 2D to 3D conversion solution. We are extremely excited to see these innovations adopted by customers to be key differentiators in their new products, some of which could hit the market as early as the second quarter of 2010. In addition, we made inroads into the leading-edge wafer level optics, which are expected to replace the conventional lens, starting with lower resolution camera modules. Currently, we offer products with VGA and 2 mega pixel resolutions, mainly focusing on cell phones and Notebook PCs. Our wafer level optics have been well-received by a number of the world's first-tier CMOS image sensor and camera module makers."

Mr. Wu continued, "In regards to our dual-listing plan on the main board of the Taiwan Stock Exchange, we continued to make progress during the past quarter. According to the Taiwan-listing requirements, prospect issuers are required to submit 2009 full-year ROC GAAP audited financials by the end of February 2010 in order to continue the review process by the authorities, followed by the update of preliminary prospectus, among other procedures. We now expect to receive the Taiwan-listing approval in the second quarter of 2010, subject to regulatory approvals."

Mr. Wu added, "In the near term, some TFT-LCD panel components are currently experiencing a shortage in supply, as indicated by TFT-LCD makers, which may be a factor leading to uncertainty in our first quarter 2010 guidance. Furthermore, the capacity and equipment tightness at certain of our subcontractors may potentially increase our costs of revenue and negatively impact our gross margin. Moving to our first quarter 2010 guidance, we are seeing rather healthy demand in a traditionally low season. Compared to the previous quarter, we expect revenues to remain flat or go up slightly with a slight gross margin decline of less than one percentage point. GAAP earnings per ADS is expected to be in the range of 4-6 cents."
