Tessera Technologies Announces Second Quarter 2008 Results
    - Second Quarter 2008 Royalty and License Fees of $49.9 Million
              Grew 37 Percent Versus Prior Year Quarter -

  - Third Quarter Royalty and License Fees Expected to Range Between
                     $55 Million and $57 Million -

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 31, 2008--Tessera Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:TSRA), a leading provider of miniaturization technologies for the electronics industry, announced its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

    Revenue Highlights: Second Quarter 2008

    --  Total revenue was $56.3 million.

    --  Royalty and license fees were $49.9 million.

    --  Product and service revenue was $6.4 million.

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $84,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, and included non-cash charges of $5.8 million for stock-based compensation and $2.9 million for amortization of acquired intangibles.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $9.1 million, or $0.18 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.

"The significant year-over-year growth in our high margin, recurring royalties highlights the fundamental strength of our business," said Bruce McWilliams, chairman, president and CEO for Tessera. "In the second half of 2008, we expect to build on the traction gained in our Consumer Imaging business, as illustrated by the new license agreement with Samsung. Long-term, we are well positioned for strong growth in our business of providing high-value electronics and consumer technologies critical to the realization of advanced wireless, consumer and computing products."

    Revenue Highlights: Six-month Period Ended June 30, 2008

    --  Total revenue was $115.7 million.

    --  Royalty and license fees were $100.2 million.

    --  Product and service revenue was $15.5 million.

GAAP net income for the six-month period was $2.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the six-month period was $25.2 million, or $0.51 per diluted share.

Third Quarter 2008 Financial Guidance

Tessera expects third quarter total revenue to be within the range of $62 million to $64 million. Royalty and license fees are expected to range between $55 million and $57 million. Product and service revenue is expected to be approximately $7 million.

"We believe our royalty and license fees will increase significantly in the third quarter of 2008 due to solid unit growth in our core end markets of DRAM and wireless, and catch-up royalty payments that will be recognized in the third quarter," stated Charlie Webster, CFO for Tessera. "These catch-up payments are the result of royalty self-audits by several of our customers, including licensed subcontractors. The self-audits were conducted at the request of some of the respondents in our current litigations and are an encouraging indicator of the progress of our litigation efforts."

Non-GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter of 2008 are projected to range between $29 million to $30 million, excluding litigation expenses.

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.
