GigaMedia Announces Second-Quarter 2021 Financial Results

TAIPEI,July 30,2021 --GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ: GIGM) todayannounced its second-quarter 2021 unaudited financial results.

Comments from Management

In the second quarter of 2021,GigaMedia reported revenues of $1.23 million,with a gross profit $0.63 million,an operating loss of $1.08 million and the net loss of $0.84 million. Total revenues decreased by 15.3% if compared to the previous quarter.

The decrease in revenues was mainly due to seasonality and the dwindling in certain licensed games. While Taiwan experienced an outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-May,we managed to minimize the disruption caused to our business operations.

"The first half year of 2021 was indeed tough for us," said GigaMedia CEO James Huang,"but after weathering all these,we have gathered pace and are confident for a brighter second half year."

Operating revenues decreased by approximately 15.3% quarter-on-quarter,to $1.23 million from $1.45 million in last quarter,and decreased by 32.9% year-over-year from $1.83 million the same period last year. The decrease was mainly due to seasonality and the slowdown of the upgrades and supports form our licensors affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross profit decreased by 20% to $0.63 million from $0.79 million in last quarter,and decreased by 35.3% compared to $0.98 million in the same period last year.

Business Outlook

The following forward-looking statements reflect GigaMedia's expectations as of July 30,2021. Given potential changes in economic conditions and consumer spending,the evolving nature of digital entertainments,and various other risk factors,including those discussed in the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form20-F filedwith the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as referenced below,actual results may differ materially.

"In the second half of 2021,we will be committing ourselves to boosting the productivity of our in-house developed casual games,mainly by introducing fast-paced playability,building gamers' sense of community to improve stickiness,and enhancing marketing effectiveness," stated GigaMedia CEO James Huang.

Meanwhile,our management continues evaluating and pursuing prospects of strategic investment opportunities which are with potential to expand our business and create greater shareholder value.

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,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.
