Zoran Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results
SUNNYVALE, CA–(Jul 26, 2011) – Zoran Corporation (NASDAQ: ZRAN), a leading provider of digital solutions for applications in the digital entertainment and digital imaging markets, today reported results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $82.9 million, compared to $84.9 million for the previous quarter and $93.4 million for the second quarter of 2010. The Company reported a second quarter GAAP net loss of $25.5 million, or $0.51 per share, which compares with a GAAP net loss of $30.4 million, or $0.62 per share, for the previous quarter and a GAAP net loss of $6.7 million, or $0.13 per share, for the second quarter of the prior year.
Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter was $17.7 million, or $0.36 per share, which excludes $1.3 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets, $994 thousand of restructuring expenses, $1.7 million of acquisition related expenses, $3.3 million of stock-based compensation expenses, and includes an adjustment of $377 thousand for the tax provision to a non-GAAP rate. This compares with a non-GAAP net loss of $21.3 million, or $0.43 per share, for the previous quarter, and a non-GAAP net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.08 per share for the same period last year.
“We are pleased with the improving performance we are seeing in our core markets and remain confident that the pending combination with CSR will enhance and accelerate design-win activity of our proprietary technologies and market leading products,” said Dr. Levy Gerzberg, president and chief executive officer of Zoran. “The highly competitive and rapidly changing consumer electronics markets continue to require feature-rich capabilities while reducing the silicon footprint. Joining forces with CSR will enable Zoran to effectively meet this demand and leverage scale and complementary capabilities between the two companies. We continue to believe this merger is in the best interests of Zoran’s shareholders, customers and employees.”
Recent Highlights

Future Outlook
The following forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and actual results may differ materially.
Zoran currently expects revenues for the third quarter of 2011 to range between $100 million and $105 million, with gross margins ranging between 49.5 and 50.5 percent. The Company expects to record a third quarter GAAP net loss in the range of $0.17 to $0.22 per share on approximately 50 million shares. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes acquisition-related expenses and amortization costs and stock-based compensation expenses, the Company expects to record a third quarter net loss of $0.07 to $0.12 per share.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Zoran provides non-GAAP financial information, including non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP EPS that excludes charges such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expense, shareholder consent revocation expenses, and associated income tax adjustments. Non-GAAP results are reconciled to GAAP results on the attached Schedule.
The Company believes that its non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because it excludes items that management considers to be outside of the Company’s core operating results. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial information, in combination with the Company’s financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provides investors with additional perspective and a more meaningful understanding of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. In addition, the Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to review and assess the financial performance of the Company, to determine executive officer incentive compensation, and to plan and forecast performance in future periods. The Company’s non-GAAP financial information, is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not an alternative to GAAP financial information, and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies.
