Insights

Silicon Motion reports declining Q1 revenue with improved margins; expects recovery in H2 with new product introductions targeting $1B run-rate.

Silicon Motion's Q1 2025 results show revenue pressure across all segments, with total sales of $166.5 million, declining 13% quarter-over-quarter and 12% year-over-year. Product-specific declines were significant: SSD controllers down 10-15% Q/Q and 20-25% Y/Y, eMMC+UFS controllers down 15-20% Q/Q and 0-5% Y/Y, and SSD solutions down 20-25% Q/Q and 35-40% Y/Y.

Despite revenue contraction, the company achieved gross margin of 47.1%, a notable improvement from 45.8% in Q4 2024 and 45.0% in Q1 2024. This margin expansion during a revenue decline demonstrates effective cost management. Operating margin decreased to 5.9% from 9.3% the previous quarter, reflecting reduced operational leverage from lower sales volume.

The company's PCIe Gen 5 controller showed stronger than expected demand, partially driven by growing AI inference applications in white box servers. This highlights Silicon Motion's potential to capitalize on AI-related growth. The company also reported market share gains in smartphone-focused eMMC and UFS controllers, providing some offset to broader market weakness.

Management initiated a $50 million share repurchase program, with $24.3 million already executed in Q1 at an average price of $56.96 per ADS. This signals management's confidence in the company's value and future prospects.

For Q2 2025, Silicon Motion projects sequential growth of 5-10% with revenue between $175-183 million, while maintaining robust gross margins of 47.0-48.0%. The company's roadmap includes several product launches in 2025, including 8-channel and 4-channel PCIe Gen 5 controllers, UFS 4.1 and 2.2 controllers, and enterprise/AI-class products. Despite near-term headwinds from tariffs and potential trade wars, management targets a $1 billion revenue run rate by year-end, representing significant acceleration from current levels.

SIMO's diversification into PCIe Gen 5 and AI inference markets provides growth potential despite current revenue contraction across core segments.

Silicon Motion's Q1 results reveal the dual challenges of cyclical weakness in consumer storage markets and macroeconomic headwinds. The bright spot in an otherwise challenging quarter is the company's PCIe Gen 5 controller performance, which exceeded expectations due to adoption in AI inference applications by white box server manufacturers. This represents a key diversification beyond traditional consumer markets.

The company's product roadmap strategically targets both high-performance and value segments. The 8-channel PCIe Gen 5 controller addresses high-performance computing needs, while the upcoming 4-channel version targets mass-market applications. Similarly, in mobile storage, Silicon Motion is developing both premium UFS 4.1 and cost-optimized UFS 2.2 controllers.

Silicon Motion's MonTitan enterprise/AI products, introduced in late 2024, are expected to begin production ramp with initial customers in H2 2025. This represents the company's entry into higher-margin data center storage markets, historically dominated by vertically-integrated providers. The automotive segment expansion mentioned also diversifies revenue beyond consumer markets.

The sequential recovery projected for Q2 (5-10% growth) suggests the beginning of stabilization, though full recovery depends on second-half strength. The targeted $1 billion exit run rate would require quarterly revenue approaching $250 million by Q4, a significant acceleration from current levels of $166.5 million. This ambitious target hinges on successful execution of new product introductions and improvement in the broader economic environment, particularly regarding tariffs and trade tensions mentioned in the release.

TAIPEI and MILPITAS, Calif., April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (NasdaqGS: SIMO) ("Silicon Motion," the "Company" or "we") today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. For the first quarter of 2025, net sales (GAAP) decreased sequentially to $166.5 million from $191.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Net income (GAAP) decreased to $19.5 million, or $0.58 per diluted American depositary share ("ADS") (GAAP), from net income (GAAP) of $21.6 million, or $0.64 per diluted ADS (GAAP), in the fourth quarter of 2024.

For the first quarter of 2025, net income (non-GAAP) decreased to $20.3 million, or $0.60 per diluted ADS (non-GAAP), from net income (non-GAAP) of $29.4 million, or $0.87 per diluted ADS (non-GAAP), in the fourth quarter of 2024.

All financial numbers are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

First Quarter of 2025 Review

"Despite the challenging macro environment in the first quarter of 2025, we executed our plan and delivered quarterly revenue at the high end of our guided range and delivered another quarter of gross margin expansion," stated Wallace Kou, President and CEO of Silicon Motion. "Our industry leading PCIe Gen 5 controller experienced stronger than expected demand during the quarter, partially driven by growing AI inference demands from white box server makers leveraging more mainstream hardware components. Our eMMC and UFS controllers also experienced better than expected demand given a rebound in the smartphone market and our ongoing market share gains. While the near-term remains challenging given the broader economic challenges associated with tariffs and potential trade wars, we remain focused on delivering strong, sustainable long-term growth through product diversification; expanding into new markets; and growing market share across our portfolio of consumer, enterprise, automotive, industrial and storage solutions."

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company's unaudited selected financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation and other items, including gross profit (non-GAAP), gross margin (non-GAAP), operating expenses (non-GAAP), operating profit (non-GAAP), operating margin (non-GAAP), non-operating income (expense) (non-GAAP), net income (non-GAAP), and earnings per diluted ADS (non-GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We compensate for the limitations of our non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors as these non-GAAP results exclude certain expenses, gains and losses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results and because they are consistent with the financial models and estimates published by many analysts who follow the Company. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with our forecasts, and for benchmarking our performance externally against our competitors. Also, when evaluating potential acquisitions, we exclude the items described below from our consideration of the target's performance and valuation. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing the results from management's perspective in addition to seeing our GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:

  • the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company's on-going operating results;
  • the ability to better identify trends in the Company's underlying business and perform related trend analysis;
  • a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company's underlying business; and
  • an easier way to compare the Company's operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of our competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

Thefollowingareexplanationsofeachoftheadjustmentsthatweincorporateintoournon-GAAP measures,aswellasthereasonsforexcludingeach of these individual items in our reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges related to the fair value of restricted stock units awarded to employees. The Company believes that the exclusion of these non-cash charges provides for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to our peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact of share-based compensation on its operating results.

Foreign exchange loss (gain) consists of translation gains and/or losses of non-US$ denominated current assets and current liabilities, as well as certain other balance sheet items, which result from the appreciation or depreciation of non-US$ currencies against the US$. We do not use financial instrumentsٴmanage theimpactonouroperationsfromchangesinforeignexchange rates,andbecause ouroperationsaresubjectٴfluctuationsin foreign exchange rates, we therefore exclude foreign exchange gains and losses when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.
