GigaMedia Announces Fourth-Quarter and Full Year 2018 Financial Results

 

TAIPEI, Taiwan, April 03, 2019 – GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ: GIGM) today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2018.

Highlights for Year Ended December 31, 2018

Besides continuing our efforts in improving productivity, in formulating GigaMedia’s 2018 business plan, we conducted a comprehensive strategic business review. And it became clear that:

l

Compared to our in-house offerings, the operations of licensed games bear an uncompetitive cost structure where licensing costs and channel costs usually take a huge bite out of earnings, leaving little room for any marketing strategies.

l

The operations of licensed games are inherently dependent on the licensors and hard to take the initiative, and therefore often slow in responding to a fad, a market trend or even a permanent change in customers’ preference.

Accordingly, in 2018 GigaMedia moved boldly forward to executing the strategy of optimizing our product portfolio by trimming off or terminating products or services that were below requirements, and introducing license game more selectively. On the other hand, we set in motion consolidating substantial resources for developing our own offerings, into which direct investment was more than $1 million during 2018.

“With the high margin of our in-house products, we are allowed latitude to act proactively for a flexible combination of marketing and promotional means to boost productivities,” stated GigaMedia Limited CEO James Huang, “and for our own offerings, it is all the more essential and valuable to develop long-term customer relationships.”

In 2018, we invested further to enhance CRM system, which will contribute to our operations in building up relationships, saving marketing costs, and creating capacity for providing augmented products and services. The cultivation of a loyal customer base will eventually further boost customer value and create revenues and profits.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year Overview

Consolidated 4Q revenues decreased 2.59% quarter-over-quarter and 20.17% year-over-year. Full year revenues decreased 38.77% to $7.1 million from $11.6 million in 2017.

l

Income from operations for 4Q was a loss of $1.0 million, representing a loss reduction from $1.5 million in 3Q, mainly due to a decrease in advertising expenses. Full year operating loss, if excluding impairment losses and gain on termination of agreement, was a loss of $4.6 million for 2018, representing a loss increase of $2.4 million from approximately $2.2 million for 2017.

Consolidated loss from operations for 2018 was a loss of $4.8 million, compared to a loss of $0.5 million in the last year. The loss increase was mainly due to lower revenues in 2018, as well as a gain of $1.7 million on termination of licensing agreement was recognized in 2017.

Business Outlook

The following forward-looking statements reflect GigaMedia's expectations as of April 03, 2019. 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 2017 Annual Report

-3-

 


on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as referenced below, actual results may differ materially.

We believe it is critical for us to adopt the strategy of developing in-house offerings and promoting customer relationships. We expect these endeavors will begin contributing to our productivities and profitability in the second half of 2019.

“Meanwhile, we keep seeking strategic investment targets with expertise of AI or big data, in order to strengthen our business and maximize shareholders’ value,” said GigaMedia CEO James Huang, “Such a capacity presents synergies for us in elevating customer experiences and refining our data analytics techniques of extracting value from our vast database.”

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.
