KFAR SAVA, Israel, May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicom Ltd.

Financial Results

Silicom's revenues for the first quarter of 2024 totalled $14.4 million compared with $37.2 million for the first quarter of 2023.

On a GAAP basis, the company's net loss for the quarter totalled $(3.4) million, or $(0.55) per ordinary share (basic and diluted), compared with net income of $3.5 million, or $0.52 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the first quarter of 2023.

On a non-GAAP basis (as described and reconciled below), net loss for the quarter totalled $(2.4) million, or $(0.38) per ordinary share (basic and diluted), compared with net income of $4.2 million, or $0.61 per diluted share ($0.62 per basic share), for the first quarter of 2023.

Guidance

Management projects that revenues for the second quarter of 2024 will range from $15 million to $17 million. We believe that excess customer inventories and global economy headwinds will ease moving forward through 2024, resulting in second half revenues that are higher than those of the first half, and full-year revenues of approximately $70 million.

Share Repurchase Plan

In addition, the Company today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new one-year share buyback plan allowing the Company to invest up to $15 million to repurchase its ordinary shares. This plan will take effect as soon as the previously-announced $15 million one-year plan is completed. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend upon a variety of factors, including share market price and general business and market conditions. The plan authorizes management to repurchase ordinary shares using a variety of methods, including open market transactions in compliance with the rules of the US Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements. Repurchases will be funded from available working capital. The plan does not obligate Silicom to buy back any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time at Management's discretion. Management notes that its cash balance provides sufficient working capital and financial flexibility to weather the current environment while completing the Company's current share buyback program and carrying out this new one.

Comments of Management  

Liron Eizenman, Silicom's President and CEO, commented, "During the past three months, execution of the first phase of our 5-Year Strategic Plan has stabilized our operating expenses and strengthened our core business platform. By discontinuing non-core programs and carrying out a company-wide efficiency initiative, our operating expenses are now at a level that will fully support our future growth drivers and return us to profitability at projected revenue levels. We are proud to have delivered an impressive $13 million positive operating cash flow during this challenging quarter, demonstrating the strength and quality of our working capital. We continue to aim for 20% compound average annual growth from 2024 as a baseline, with Earnings Per Share (EPS) increasing gradually to above $3 in 2028."

Mr. Eizenman continued, "At the same time, as part of our re-focus on our Server Adapter and Edge solution portfolios, we are investing significantly to develop two strategic new product families aimed at expanding our leadership and revenues from some of the market's highest growth segments. We have also implemented a new sales compensation plan that has positively impacted our Design Win pipeline, already bringing us an initial flow of new small-to-medium Design Wins."

Mr. Eizenman concluded, "As a concrete indication of our confidence, we continue to execute on our aggressive share buyback program, and the Board has just approved a new repurchase plan for the coming year. During the first quarter, we repurchased approximately 250,000 shares, well ahead of our original schedule for repurchasing 1.6 million shares by the end of 2025. We believe this effort, coupled with our focus on the core and continued strict discipline with expenses, will return us to growth and profitability, creating significant shareholder value over the long term."
