FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EARNINGS RELEASE

Silicom Reports Q2’23 Results:
$38.1M Revenues with $0.66 Non-GAAP EPS


KFAR SAVA, Israel, July 31, 2023 - Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SILC), a leading provider of high-performance networking and data infrastructure solutions, today reported its financial results for the second quarter and first half ended June 30, 2023.

Financial Results
 
Second Quarter: Silicom’s revenues for the second quarter of 2023 totalled $38.1 million, up 12% compared with $34.2 million for the second quarter of 2022.
 
On a GAAP basis, net income for the quarter totalled $3.8 million, or $0.56 per share (basic and diluted), compared with $4.5 million, or $0.67 per diluted share ($0.68 per basic share), for the second quarter of 2022.
 
On a non-GAAP basis (as described and reconciled below), net income for the quarter totalled $4.5 million, or $0.66 per share (basic and diluted), compared with $4.7 million, or $0.70 per diluted share ($0.71 per basic share), for the second quarter of 2022.
 
First Six Months: Silicom’s revenues for the first half of 2023 totalled $75.3 million, up 14% compared with $66.2 million for the first half of 2022.
 
On a GAAP basis, net income for the period totalled 7.3 million, or $1.07 per diluted share ($1.09 million per basic share), up 10% compared with $6.7 million, or $0.99 per diluted share ($1.00 per basic share) for the first half of 2022.
 
On a non-GAAP basis (as described and reconciled below), net income for the period totalled $8.6 million, or $1.27 per diluted share ($1.28 per basic share), up 12% compared with $7.7 million, or $1.14 per diluted share ($1.16 per basic share) for the first half of 2022.
 
Cash and Buyback
 
Our cash position continues to improve. Our balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased by $10 million during the second quarter, and currently stands at $63 million with no debt. Based on our improved cash position and our expectation that our profitability will continue during the coming years, we intend to accelerate the pace at which we will be repurchasing our shares under the $15 million Share Repurchase Plan that we announced three months ago.


 
Guidance
 
With supply chain issues and component lead times easing, some of the Company’s major customers have begun drawing down the inventories they had stockpiled during the component shortages period. In addition, with broad expectations of a slowing macro economy, some of the Company’s recent design wins have been ramping more slowly and cautiously than originally expected. As such, the Company projects that Q3 will be a slower quarter, with revenues ranging between $30 and $31 million.

Comments of Management  
 
Liron Eizenman, Silicom’s President and CEO, commented, “We are pleased to report another quarter of growing revenues and cash generation for Silicom, especially given the significant macro headwinds that currently characterize our markets. While these factors have impacted our revenue expectations for 2023 and may have an effect on our first half 2024 results, we believe that we are currently under-shipping end-market demand and that our longer-term picture remains strong. Given the sheer breadth of our addressable market, which is proving to be so much larger and faster-growing than we had originally estimated, coupled with our already impressive roster of customers and Design Wins, we believe that we will re-establish a growth trajectory once our customer activities and inventory levels return to normal.”
 
Mr. Eizenman continued, “In fact, several developments during the quarter confirm the potential of our target markets. We were gratified that a leading US telecommunication service provider selected us once again as its partner for developing a strategic Edge Networking product, placing $5 million in initial orders and planning a significant ramp up when development is complete. We also secured two new NIC wins from a major cyber security company, demonstrating the ongoing power and importance of our server adapter business. In parallel, our recent launch of an innovative Edge AI product line in partnership with Hailo has begun opening up entirely new use cases, adding new categories of sales opportunities and customers to our already rich pipeline.”
 
Mr. Eizenman concluded, “Perhaps most important, the continually growing volume of Design Wins, opportunities and interest that we are seeing from top-tier players across a broad variety of industries continues to confirm our unique value proposition: a full-service model with an unmatched Edge Networking portfolio, rapid development and customization capabilities and a partnership approach. All in all, we believe that Silicom is well-positioned as a key player in our industry. We are optimistic about our long-term growth potential and increasingly excited about the opportunities that lie ahead of us.”
