Silicon Motion Technology Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Silicon Motion Technology’s quarterly revenues increased to $252.4 million from $221.1 million in the prior-year quarter. The top line missed the consensus estimate of $263 million. The company experienced strong growth in SSD controller sales to customers building PCle Gen4 SSDs for PC OEMs. The company’s eMMC + UFS controller sales to both smartphone and non-smartphone end markets also grew. However, sales to channel markets softened.
Other Details
Non-GAAP gross profit was $133.8 million compared with $112.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP total operating expenses rose to $56.8 million from $48.4 million. Non-GAAP operating income was $77 million, up from $64.5 million, with respective margins of 30.5% and 29.2%.
Cash Flow & Liquidity
In the first six months of 2022, Silicon Motion Technology generated $1.2 million of cash for operating activities compared with $77.4 million in the year-ago period. As of Jun 30, 2022, the company had $179.9 million in cash and cash equivalents with $44 million of other liabilities.
Moving Forward
The company is working on the upcoming launch of its next generation enterprise class SSD controllers. The company has also commenced initial sales of 3D SSD controllers to flash partners. However, the semiconductor industry is highly competitive which subjects the company to stiff rivalry from its peer companies such as Micron, Microchip, Marvell and ON Semiconductor. The tense political condition between Taiwan and People’s Republic of China also increases the operating risks of the company.
