GigaMedia Announces First-Quarter 2024 Financial Results, Business News
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

, /PRNewswire/ — GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ: GIGM) today announced its first quarter 2024 unaudited financial results.

Comments from Management

For the first quarter of 2024, GigaMedia reported revenues of $0.73 million with a gross profit of $0.35 million, an operating loss of $1.11 million and the net loss of $0.90 million.

If compared to the previous quarter, the revenues decreased by 16.7%. In this quarter, we continued scaling back and consolidating resources from underperforming products, and certain disruptive factors in our sales channel were gradually remediated. While the turnaround of financial performance may not be immediate, after the optimizing measures we are encouraged to see gamers’ traffic is stabilizing in our higher margin legacy casual games.

With a slimmer team in place, for 2024 we plan to continue our exploration of digital entertainment to further develop and promote our own products and services.

First Quarter Overview

Operating revenues decreased by 16.7% in quarter-on-quarter comparison. While loss from operations increased to $1.11 million from $0.65 million last quarter, net loss of $0.90 million represented a decrease of loss from net loss of $2.02 million last quarter, mainly due to certain year-end evaluation in the previous quarter for our investments.

Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results

GigaMedia Limited is a diversified provider of digital entertainment services. GigaMedia’s digital entertainment service business FunTown develops and operates a suite of digital entertainments in Taiwan and Hong Kong, with focus on mobile games and casual games.

(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.)

First-Quarter Financial Results

Consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2024 decreased by 16.7% quarter-on-quarter to $0.73 million, from $0.87 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, and by 45.3% year-over-year from $1.32 million in the first quarter of 2023. Consolidated gross profit decreased to $0.35 million from $0.50 million in last quarter and decreased by 56.3% from $0.79 million in the same quarter last year. Consolidated operating expenses were $1.46 million in the first quarter of 2024, approximately increased by 27.1% when compared to prior quarter. Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $0.90 million, which was a decrease of loss from $2.02 million net loss last quarter. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at the first quarter-end of 2024 amounted to $36.82 million, decreased by approximately $1.96 million from $38.78 million at the fourth quarter-end of 2023.

Financial Position

GigaMedia maintained its solid financial position, with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash amounting to $36.82 million, or approximately $3.33 per share as of March 31, 2024.

Business Outlook

The following forward-looking statements reflect GigaMedia’s expectations as of May 3, 2024. 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 2023 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as referenced below, actual results may differ materially.

“Since late 2023, we have being re-examining mechanisms in our legacy casual games and to reconstruct players’ ecosystem,” said GigaMedia CEO James Huang. “While the effect would take some time to exhibit, we believe that will lead to a healthier gross margin in the long-run for our own offerings.”

Meanwhile, our business strategies always include expanding through mergers and acquisitions. We will keep looking for investment opportunities that have strategic capacity to accelerate our growth and enhance shareholders’ value.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement GigaMedia’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. 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.
