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 third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Revenues for the third quarter were $99.3 million, compared to $93.4 million last quarter and $115.5 million for the third quarter of 2009. The Company reported a third quarter GAAP net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.08 per share, which compares with a GAAP net loss of $6.7 million, or $0.13 per share, for the previous quarter and GAAP net income of $4.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the third quarter of the prior year.

Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter was $810 thousand, or $0.02 per share, which excludes $109 thousand of amortization of acquired intangible assets, $2.0 million of acquisition related expenses, $2.5 million of stock-based compensation expenses, and an adjustment of $1.3 million for the tax provision to a non-GAAP rate. This compares with non-GAAP net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.08 per share, for the previous quarter, and a non-GAAP net income of $8.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share for the same period last year.

"During the third quarter, strong and widespread demand for our COACH processors drove growth in digital cameras, and we continued to see solid signs of recovery in Printer Imaging," said Dr. Levy Gerzberg, president and chief executive officer of Zoran. "DTV was impacted by share loss by our customers to tier-1 brands combined with severe price erosion in the segments they serve. We were also impacted by one of our customers' decision to add a second source supplier, causing additional share loss for Zoran. In addition, we are seeing rising channel inventory and softening consumer demand. DVD is also showing signs of weakening demand, causing a modest inventory build of red-laser products.

"As a result of these developments, we are reducing our outlook for the remainder of 2010 and are carefully evaluating our current strategies against existing and potential growth opportunities. We are also in the process of working on restructuring alternatives with an emphasis on operating expenses to right size the business. Management remains committed to returning Zoran to a growing and profitable business with a sound financial model, and we are working to take whatever steps are necessary to achieve this objective.

"Also during the quarter, Zoran signed a definitive agreement to acquire Microtune, Inc. (NASDAQ: TUNE), a pioneer in the development and deployment of silicon tuners, a technology that is complementary and synergistic to Zoran's strategic objectives in both the set-top-box and DTV markets. We believe this acquisition will enable Zoran to become a complete provider of solutions for consumer home entertainment, immediately accelerating our position in the STB market and ultimately strengthen our DTV position as global markets transition from analog to digital and to more efficient single-chip TV tuners over the next several years."

Future Outlook

The following forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, and actual results may differ materially.

Guidance for the fourth quarter does not reflect the impact of the acquisition of Microtune, including the purchase price and related acquisition costs, or any income or expenses incurred after the close of the transaction which is expected close on or about November 20, 2010.

The Company is currently expecting fourth quarter 2010 revenues to range between $60 million and $65 million, with gross margins ranging between 52 and 53 percent. Excluding acquisition-related amortization costs and stock-based compensation expense, non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in a range of $52 million to $53 million. Acquisition-related amortization costs are expected to be approximately $109 thousand and stock-based compensation expense is expected to range between $2.7 million and $3.2 million. The Company expects to record a fourth quarter GAAP loss in the range of $0.46 to $0.49 per share on approximately 50 million shares. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes acquisition-related amortization costs and stock-based compensation expenses, the Company expects to record a fourth quarter loss of $0.39 to $0.43 per share. With this outlook, cash is expected to decline by approximately $15 million from operations.

Zoran will provide more commentary on its third quarter results during the quarterly conference call.

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, non-GAAP net income (loss) and EPS that excludes charges such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expense, non-recurring litigation settlements 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 net income (loss), 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 net income (loss) 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.

These forward-looking statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from what is currently expected, including risks associated with: the Company's loss of market share in the DTV market; market share loss by the Company's DTV customers; the Company's ability to acquire new, and increase its business from current, customers, particularly in the DTV market; weakening demand in the DTV market; potential declines in the Company's sales as a result of the continuing global economic slowdown that could continue to reduce demand for consumer electronic and other products; continued tightening in global credit markets, which could result in insolvency of key suppliers, customers, or retailers and customer inability to finance purchases of our products; the rapidly evolving markets for the Company's products and uncertainty regarding the pace and direction of development of those markets; the impact of further ASP declines, particularly in the DTV market; the Company's dependence on sales to a limited number of large customers; cost and length of time required for new product development; timing and impact of new product introductions by the Company and its competitors, and of transitions away from older products; intense competition in the Company's markets and in the markets in which its customers operate; the Company's reliance on other parties for wafer supplies, product assembly and testing, and manufacturing capacity; the effects of changes in revenue and product mix on the Company's gross margins; fluctuations in tax rate caused by projections of the geographic sources of Company income; dependence on key personnel; and reliance on international operations, particularly operations in Israel.

(a) This adjustment reflects the stock-based compensation expense recorded
under ASC 718-10.  The Company excludes this item when it evaluates the
continuing operational performance of the Company as management believes
this GAAP measure is not indicative of its core operating performance.
(see (g) below)

(b) This adjustment represents the amortization of intangible assets
associated with the acquisition of Let It Wave, Inc. in June 2008.  Such
amortization expense does not impact the Company's cash flows and is
excluded by management when evaluating its core operating performance.
(see (g) below)

(c) This adjustment represents acquisition expenses associated with the
acquisition of Microtune, Inc. which is expected to be completed during the
fourth quarter of 2010.  The Company excludes this item when it evaluates
the continuing operational performance of the Company as management
believes this GAAP measure is not indicative of its core operating
performance.  (see (g) below)

(d) This adjustment reflects the restructuring expense recorded by the
Company as part of closing its facility in Netanya, Israel during the
quarter ended March 31, 2009 and the restructuring of its Mobile division
and closing of its Toronto facility during the quarter ended September 30,
2009. The Company excludes these items when it evaluates the continuing
operational performance of the Company as management believes this GAAP
measure is not indicative of its core operating performance.  (see (g)
below)

(e) This adjustment reflects non-recurring expenses associated with IP
licensing related settlements.  The Company excludes this item when it
evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company as

tax rate and the GAAP income tax rate. This adjustment is made by the
Company when it evaluates its continuing operational performance.  (see (g)
below)

(g) 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
