- First Quarter 2008 Royalty and License Fees Grew 34 Percent
Versus Prior Year Quarter -
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 2008--Tessera
Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:TSRA), a leading provider of
miniaturization technologies for the electronics industry, announced
its results for the first quarter ended March 30, 2008.
Revenue Highlights: First Quarter 2008
-- Total revenue was $59.4 million.
-- Royalty and license fees were $50.2 million.
-- Product and service revenue was $9.1 million.
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net income for the
first quarter of 2008 was $2.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share,
and included non-cash charges of $4.5 million for stock-based
compensation, $2.5 million for acquired in-process research and
development and $2.3 million for amortization of acquired intangibles.
Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2008 was $16.1
million, or $0.33 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income and operating
expenses are defined as income and operating expenses adjusted for
non-cash tax expense, acquired intangibles amortization charges,
charges for acquired in-process research and development, and
stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP net income per share equals
non-GAAP net income divided by the non-GAAP weighted diluted share
count as of that period end.
"Our first quarter total revenue was driven by robust DRAM and
wireless unit growth and included a favorable adjustment by one of our
licensees," said Bruce McWilliams, chairman, president and CEO for
Tessera. "Demand for increased memory and functionality in both
computing and consumer devices is driving broader usage of chip scale
packaging in a wide range of applications. From a strategic
perspective, as the features of digital still cameras and cell phones
converge, we believe our platform of consumer imaging technologies is
well positioned to help drive next-generation wireless devices. We
believe this will generate longer term company growth."
Second Quarter 2008 Financial Guidance
"First quarter recurring royalty revenue from current licensees
fully met expectations," stated Charlie Webster, CFO for Tessera. "We
expect second quarter total revenue to be within the range of $54
million to $56 million, which includes projected royalty and license
fees of between $47 million and $49 million. These ranges are one
million dollars above our previous guidance originally given on
January 31, 2008, as we anticipate strong performance in our core
business."
Non-GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2008 are
projected to be approximately $27.5 million to $28.5 million,
excluding litigation expenses. Starting with the second quarter of
2008, Tessera will not provide guidance on litigation expense as it is
highly variable and difficult to predict. The company will, however,
continue to provide actual litigation spending.
As per company policy, quarterly guidance does not include
settlements from the company's current enforcement actions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP),
the company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures
that are adjusted for non-cash tax expense, and stock compensation and
the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-based Payment" ("123R").
The non-GAAP financial measures used by management and disclosed by
the company exclude the income statement effects of non-cash tax
expense, either one-time or ongoing non-cash acquired intangibles
amortization charges, acquired in-process research and development,
and all forms of stock-based compensation and the effects of 123R upon
the number of diluted shares used in calculating non-GAAP earnings per
share. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures used in this
report provide investors with important perspectives into the
company's ongoing business performance. The non-GAAP financial
measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a
substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in
accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in
accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements
should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by
the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not
be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Set forth below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP net income to
our reported GAAP net income.
