GigaMedia Announces Third-Quarter 2020
Financial Results
TAIPEI, Taiwan, October 30, 2020 – GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ: GIGM) today announced its third-quarter 2020 unaudited financial results.
Comments from Management
In the third quarter of 2020, GigaMedia reported revenues of $2.03 million, with a gross profit of $1.20 million, an operating loss of $0.36 million and a net loss of $0.25 million. Total revenues increased by 11.1% if compared to last quarter, and gross profit margin improved to 59.0% from 53.6% last quarter.
“It became clear that our efforts accumulated in past quarters are gradually paying off, and our improvement in profitability is gathering pace,” said GigaMedia CEO James Huang.
Meanwhile, GigaMedia has entered and executed a convertible note purchase agreement to acquire ownership of $10 million principal amount of convertible promissory note issued by Aeolus Robotics Corporation (“Aeolus”), an R&D company engaged in developing AI-enabled service robots. An announcement for this agreement has been made on August 31, 2020, immediately after the closing of the agreement. The issuance of this convertible note provided Aeolus its much-needed working capital, and through this funding, GigaMedia will explore possibilities of further strategic cooperation with Aeolus.
Third Quarter Overview
|
• |
Revenues increased by 11.1% quarter-on-quarter to approximately $2.03 million from $1.83 million last quarter, and by 6.3% if compared to the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to our efforts in revitalizing Tales Runner, a 14-year-old game we have been licensed to operate in Hong Kong, where students have just experienced a prolonged summer vacation. |
|
• |
Consolidated loss from operations for the third quarter of 2020 amounted to $0.36 million, a reduction of loss from a loss of $0.55 million last quarter. |
|
• |
The net asset value was around $4.94 per share. |
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results

(A) |
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is provided as a supplement to results provided in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). (See, “Use of Non-GAAP Measures,” for more details.) |
|
• |
Consolidated revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $2.03 million, representing an increase of 11.1% compared to $1.83 million in the prior quarter, and 6.3% year-over-year from $1.91 million the same quarter last year. |
|
• |
Consolidated gross profit increased by 22.3% quarter-on-quarter to $1.20 million from $0.98 million last quarter, or 14.0% year-over-year from $1.05 million in the third quarter last year. |
|
• |
Consolidated loss from operation of the third quarter of 2020 was $0.36 million, a decrease in loss by approximately $0.19 million from a loss of $0.55 million in last quarter. |
|
• |
Consolidated net loss of the third quarter of 2020 was $0.25 million compared to $0.42 million in last quarter. |
|
• |
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of the end of the third quarter of 2020 accounted for $46.9 million, decreasing by 17.46% from $56.8 million at the end of the second quarter of 2020. The decrease was mainly due to the strategic investment in Aeolus’ $10 million convertible note. |
Financial Position
GigaMedia maintained its solid financial position, with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash accounted for $46.9 million as of September 30, 2020, or $4.24 per share.
Business Outlook
The following forward-looking statements reflect GigaMedia's expectations as of October 30, 2020. 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 2019 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as referenced below, actual results may differ materially.
“Up to now, we have laid a solid groundwork for FunTown M, our own mobile platform for casual games,” said GigaMedia CEO James Huang, “and from here we will actively pursue a steady expansion of customer base, as well as an organic growth in revenues and profitability.”
“Meanwhile, we will also continue exploring prudently possibilities of expanding our business through strategic investments, including the one we have already made in Aeolus. We believe they would present opportunities to strengthen our business and maximize shareholders’ value,” stated CEO James Huang.
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.
