This is building a solid foundation for a steady growth in royalty revenue. While we would have liked a further one or two of the advanced licensing negotiations to have closed in the first half, the prospect pipeline looks very encouraging giving us confidence in achieving our target of over five new licensing agreements for the year." 18 November 2003 Enquiries: Imagination Technologies Group plc Tel (today): 020 7457 2020 Geoff Shingles, Chairman Tel (thereafter): 01923 260 511 Hossein Yassaie, CEO Trevor Selby, CFO College Hill Tel: 020 7457 2020 Kate Pope Chairman's Statement During the first half the environment that we operated in has been tough but improving steadily. The free fall in the semiconductor market that bottomed out in 2002 has begun to reverse, although somewhat slowly. The total monthly chip volume across the industry has increased by around 20% compared to the lows of 2002. However, price pressures have been a key feature with average selling prices across the industry only stabilising in recent months. This has improved sentiments in the industry but has resulted in a degree of cautiousness and slow decision-making. Overall, the industry appears to have begun its upturn, which will encourage R&D investment by the semiconductor companies. Imagination has continued to make real progress implementing its strategy to create and market a comprehensive portfolio of System-on-Chip (SoC) silicon Intellectual Property (IP). We have said in the past that this IP is a vital strategic investment for us, which we have made at a particularly difficult period in the industry. It enables us to provide a complete spectrum of SoC designs for applications including digital radio, digital television, mobile and handheld devices. The pedigree of our designs is demonstrated best by the quality of the partners which we recently brought on board including Intel, TI, Sharp and Renesas and which have resulted in an increase of 37% in technology revenues in the first half compared to the same period last year. This year, we are aiming to achieve five major license deals. Since the end of the first half, we have concluded a wide-ranging licensing deal with Frontier Silicon. Alongside this licensing and development deal, Frontier Silicon, our partner in DAB ICs and modules, also announced that Apax Partners and Alta Berkeley have provided significant investment to reinforce its position in DAB and build the resources needed to accelerate its continued growth into new markets. Imagination holds a 17% equity stake in Frontier Silicon and under the new deal will receive licence and development fee payments, in addition to loan stock in Frontier Silicon up to a value of #1.25 million. We have many other serious licensing negotiations in the areas of mobile, digital TV, in-car, PC graphics, and amusement in progress and we expect a number of these to conclude during the second half. As expected, royalty revenues in the first half, while growing, have been modest with only one major SoC, namely the Chorus digital radio device shipping in volume. We expect around five devices in total to have reached the production stage by the end of the current financial year. Turning to our systems business we have enjoyed stunning success in the first half year with our range of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) products. As a result the revenues from our systems business amounted to #7.6m in the six months, an increase of over 300% compared with the same period last year. This success has not only been instrumental for developing the DAB market but it has also positioned our PURE brand as the market leader in this exciting new field. Financial Results In the six months ended 30 September 2003, group revenue was #13.1m, an increase of 127% (2002: #5.8m). Gross margins were 51%, with gross profit at #6.6m (2002: #3.9m). Our sales and administration expenses excluding goodwill amortisation have increased by 13% on last year. We have increased our expenditure in research and development by 26%. We continue to invest in research and development as it creates future revenues and supports our growing customer base. The loss before tax excluding goodwill amortisation has declined from #4.1m for the first half last year to #3.1m for the current year. Our loss before tax was #3.6m (2002: #4.6m) after goodwill amortisation. The tax charge in the half has benefited by #0.4m from a Research and Development tax credit, which netted off against withholding tax incurred on overseas earnings has resulted in a net tax credit of #0.2m in the half year. Our balance sheet is strengthened as a result of the placing of 8.5 million shares in July, representing 5% of the issued share capital. This raised #4.4m in cash to give additional working capital until the royalty stream starts to accelerate in the middle of 2004. There was an operating cash outflow during the half of #3.4m and, after allowing for a #1.4m capital spend mainly in state-of-the-art design tools and computer equipment for our engineers, our cash at the end of September was #6.4m (March 2003: #6.1m). We also have a #3m overdraft facility in place. We currently have in excess of #12m of committed business which we expect to recognise as revenue in the second half, of which approximately #5.5m will be technology revenues. This is significantly ahead of where we were at the same time last year. Summary and Outlook In our IP business the first half has presented an improving, but still tough, marketplace for our offerings. We continue to attract the interest of high calibre licensees but a number of potential transactions have moved into our second six months. Our current success in the DAB market has been outstanding with a broadening range of products now entering the market. We are very optimistic about our DAB market share across all manufacturers in general and the prospects for PURE products in particular during the upcoming Christmas season. Overall, our financial performance in the second half will remain primarily dependent on licensing revenues. In this respect we are encouraged by the significant pipeline of prospects but, as always, accurately predicting the timing of deal closures is difficult. As an increasing number of chips encompassing our IP move into the production phase during the next twelve months we look forward to earning significant royalty incomes and having a relatively lesser dependency on licensing income. During the past two years of deep recession in the semiconductor industry Imagination's Board determined to pursue an investment led strategy. In the process, we have significantly expanded our range of IP and our customer base. With the marketplace now beginning to show real signs of recovery we believe firmly that this strategy will be vindicated. The commitment and hard work from our highly capable staff has been and will continue to play a crucial part in our progress. I would like to use this opportunity to thank them. I would also like to thank our shareholders for their continued support. Geoff Shingles Chairman 18 November 2003 Chief Executive's Review Business Update Overview In this period the number of SoC design wins using our IP has increased to fourteen; two for digital radio/audio, four in mobile phone/PDA, four in digital TV/STB, two for in-car and one in amusement market segments. Of these partner chips two devices are now in production, four have reached prototype silicon with the remaining eight in the design and development stage. This is a significant increase compared to the position only two years ago when the company was still in its initial IP exploitation phase and we were able to engage with and support only one or two customer SoCs. This trend is forming a solid basis for growing our future royalty streams. While we have migrated some of our more established IP cores (e.g., MBX and META) to off-the-shelf status, some of our newer IP cores will need time to go through this process and can at this time only be used in "lead partner" projects. This means that our bandwidth to engage with a wider customer base will further grow as more of our IP base becomes off-the-shelf. An increasing feature in the future will be partners developing their own SoCs using off-the-shelf IP from Imagination. Our highly skilled SoC design resources and capabilities will primarily be used to pathfind/develop new market areas as well as to support and servicing new customers with initial implementations. Of the above market segments, the digital radio/audio has been the first target market and is therefore the most advanced in terms of delivery of the end-user products incorporating our technology. Through our partnership with Frontier Silicon, we have been able to capture over 80% of the DAB market with their Chorus chip. Currently over 20 end-user products from various manufacturers, including our own highly successful PURE brand, are based on our technology. As we go forward and our partner chips in other market segments, including digital TV/STB and mobile phone/PDA, are deployed in end-user products, we will significantly increase the penetration and volume of our IP cores as well as Imagination's visibility in global markets. Whilst the closure of new licensing agreements during the first half has been slower than we would have liked, we have continued to see serious interest in our technologies from major semiconductor companies, particularly in the mobile graphics/video and digital TV market segments. More recently, and in addition to interest from new potential partners, as the first round of the projects with our existing partners reach the final stages of development, we are also seeing licensing opportunities in conjunction with their follow-on product plans. These facts give us high confidence in achieving our target of over five new licensing partnership agreements for the full year. We have already announced the significant extension of our licensing agreement and the expansion of our partnership with Frontier Silicon. We have in excess of 10 further serious negotiations in the areas of mobile graphics/video, digital TV, in-car, PC graphics, and amusement underway. Technology Development Update Latest developments in our three families of fundamental technologies PowerVR, Metagence and Ensigma are highlighted below: PowerVR now has a comprehensive set of visual IP cores in 2D/3D graphics, digital video/TV, and display that can address the requirements of many markets including mobile phone, PDA, digital TV/set-top box, In-car, PC/console and arcade. PowerVR MBX, our scalable graphics family, is increasingly taking a leadership position in mobile, in-car, and gaming markets. Currently there are seven SoCs from various partners in the development pipeline that use one of the MBX family members, with two of these also using our digital video acceleration and display pipeline processing cores. Four of these are at prototype silicon stage with the remaining three at earlier development phases. Additionally, ARM recently announced the availability of their PrimeXsys Versatile Platform that is based on a single chip combining ARM9 and MBX, as a development platform for its customers and for content developers. In addition, the market for 3D graphics in mobile phones has taken a significant step forward with the ratification of the Khronos OpenGL ES standard at Siggraph this year, which paves the way for much wider deployment of 3D capable handsets. MBX's technological leadership, the significant partners already committed to MBX, combined with extensive software support, is increasingly making the MBX family a de facto standard in the mobile market with first product shipments expected early next year. Our standard and high-definition digital video engines and our latest advanced interlace-to-progressive technologies play a key role in both the low-cost digital TV space and in next generation advanced flat-panel TV systems. Currently a further five SoCs from our partners use our video and display technologies targeted at global TV markets. The diversity of our range of PowerVR graphics, video and display technologies continues to attract real interest from significant semiconductor companies across a broad range of applications. Licensees for our PowerVR range of IP cores now include Frontier Silicon, Hitachi, Intel, Sharp and Texas Instruments. We continue to develop our next generation advanced graphics technologies to keep our core technology at the leading edge. In this regard, in addition to our work on highly flexible next generation technology for high-end applications such as PC, console and arcade markets, we have begun a programme that brings our latest know-how from this area into next generation MBX technology. We are also continuing to strengthen our video offering for the emerging digital flat panel TV and mobile TV/DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcast) markets. Metagence's RISC/DSP processor, by virtue of its revolutionary multi-threaded capabilities, is able to address the multimedia/audio, communication and general processing demands of many modern and emerging systems. META IP cores are now supported by our industry-leading CodeScape development tools, a variety of major operating systems including Linux, Nucleus and Intent from Tao as well as a range of Ensigma multimedia application software including personal and home audio. META has to-date been designed in a total of seven SoCs from our partners in the areas of radio/audio, TV and consumer applications. Of these, two are in production and four are at design stage. META licensees include Digital One, Frontier Silicon and Sharp. In addition to developing future META technologies we are also extending META's market coverage by developing co-processors that target video encoding and compression to address camera, mobile TV, mobile video communication and next generation video recording devices. Among the technologies to be supported are MPEG-4, H264 and Microsoft WMA and WMV codecs. The META architecture is being recognised as the leader in embedded multi-threading with a very favourable recent review in the much-respected Microprocessor Report. Ensigma has, in addition to providing audio/multimedia application software IP running on META, developed the first generation of the innovative and important Universal Communications Coprocessor (UCC). This IP core offers programmable, customisable, and multi-standard engines that can, under a common architecture, address the requirements of a number of radio and TV broadcasts (e.g., terrestrial, satellite and their geographical variations), global analogue TV standards (NTSC, PAL and SECAM), emerging mobile digital TV formats, and wireless communication standards (e.g., 802.11), which will be essential for future home media communication. UCC cores with support for DAB and DVB-T are in production. The UCC developments for DVB-S, analogue TV (NTSC, PAL, SECAM) are at a very advanced stage with ongoing development on Japanese (ISDB-T), American digital TV standards (ATSC) and wireless (802.11) standards underway. A key benefit of this technology is the concept of the "multi-standard TV" where a single programmable engine can be used to implement many digital terrestrial and /or satellite reception standards as well as traditional analogue TV processing. Such flexibility has huge advantages when one considers the geographical markets that a universal TV could address efficiently and economically and we believe this unique capability will have far reaching market implications. Currently there are 6 committed partner SoCs that utilise a member of UCC family. Of these two are in production and four are at the design stage. PURE Digital continues to do an outstanding job in promoting and demonstrating our technologies, pathfinding and developing new markets, and offering system-level engineering design capabilities to our partners and customers. It achieves these objectives by using SoCs, that our licensing partners develop using our IP cores, in innovative and market developing products. PURE has become well established as a leading brand through its acclaimed digital radio range of products, particularly the EVOKE-1 and EVOKE-2 products, which use our own META & Ensigma based DAB IP through our Frontier Silicon partnership. PURE Digital has transformed the DAB market and secured a significant market share. The new PURE hi-fi DAB tuner, DRX-702ES, based on our own META and Ensigma IP, followed the standard set by its two predecessors and for the third year running won the prestigious "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision Tuner Product of the Year 2003 " award. PURE Digital will continue to showcase and deliver our IP in state-of-the-art products including highly integrated products that combine DAB with other major functionality as part of its effort to encourage standardisation of DAB in everyday consumer audio products in general and use of our technology in particular. In the longer term, PURE Digital will create wireless communication products to enable the linking of many home appliances that use our technologies. Market Exploitation Progress Update During the first half we have made significant progress in developing our technologies to focus on the following market areas: * Digital Radio & Audio - the Chorus SoC, marketed by Frontier Silicon, has continued to take the vast majority of the new and growing DAB market despite increased competition. Our multi-threaded META core, its extensive peripherals and Ensigma DAB technology have resulted in Chorus' unparalleled competitive edge in terms of super-integration, low-cost, low-power and high-audio quality. During the first half Frontier Silicon shipped close to quarter of a million Chorus chips and modules. Currently over 20 end-user products from various manufacturers, including our own highly successful PURE brand, are based on our technology and we expect this number to exceed 40 by the end of this financial year including products from top tier consumer electronic brands. We expect the DAB market to reach 700K+ units this financial year, which represents a 400% growth over last year with our technology having the lion's share. We expect to play a significant role in this market as it develops further and the volume ramps up with mass adoption of digital radio at home, in-car and on the move. In the home segment, a key focus has been to use META's flexibility and performance headroom to enable Chorus to address a wide range of audio and radio applications such as clock/alarm, CD, MP3, software FM, and more advanced user interfaces for little additional cost. As a result, DAB-enabled end-user products will in the near future begin to encompass most form factors including mini-systems, clock radios, advanced personal systems, in-car and hi-fi. We have also engaged in an important cooperation with Microsoft to deliver 5.1-surround sound audio over DAB as part of trial in London. We continue to work closely with Frontier Silicon to ensure that the cost profile of digital radio technology addresses the requirements of the market as the volume grows and that a strong roadmap is in place to maintain market leadership. * Digital TV - The META RISC/DSP processor core, PowerVR digital video and display IP cores, together with the UCC from Ensigma constitute a flexible and powerful platform for addressing the requirements of digital TV markets. We now see three distinct areas of growth in the digital TV market for exploitation. One is the general and mainstream transition from analogue to digital TVs, fuelled by non-subscription (e.g., Freeview) digital TV transmissions in many countries including the UK. This trend requires low cost digital TV solutions, either in the form of a set-top box or a digital ready TV. The second is the emerging flat-panel TV based on LCD or plasma displays which require advanced technologies to allow traditionally interlaced TV signals to be displayed on a flat-panel in high quality progressive scan mode. The high definition digital video decode and advanced audio requirements of this market segment are well supported with our IP offerings. The third is the new area of mobile TV where new transmission standards are being defined to enable effective transmission of low resolution TV content to mobile devices. This market requires complex demodulation technology to address the more challenging mobile reception environment and advanced video and audio processing to cope with low data rate transmission. These requirements are well addressed by our UCC, META and PowerVR video accelerators. Currently there are in total five committed SoCs from our partners for the digital TV market segment. One being Frontier Silicon's Logie chip which has design wins in a number of end-user products. Whilst this project has been delayed by a few months due to the integration of application software and final product qualification, it is expected to ship in end-user products in the very near future. There is also a second satellite-based chip being developed in partnership with Frontier Silicon. The details of developments with other partners in this area will be announced in due course. * Mobile Phone/PDA - The PowerVR MBX family is emerging as the de-facto standard in these markets. We already have three major licensing partners including Texas Instruments, the leader in the mobile chip market, and Renesas who are using various members of the PowerVR MBX family in their SoCs. The PowerVR MBX family of cores is marketed directly by ourselves as well as by ARM for use with ARM microprocessor cores and as part of ARM's PrimeXsys platform solution. We are currently in discussion either directly or via ARM with a number of other major players who are seriously considering using this technology. * Car Information System (CIS) - Car information systems are increasingly demanding advanced 3D and 2D graphics for navigation and dashboard applications. Renesas, a market leader, is already well advanced in developing a number of SoCs using our PowerVR technologies to address this growing market. Discussions with other potential partners are in progress. * Amusement and Gaming - Our partnership with Renesas and its first customer Sammy is very advanced in this area and we expect the developed SoC to reach production status by end of this financial year. The project uses many of our technologies including graphics, digital video, display/TV and audio cores. * PC/Console - We are continuing to develop our next generation advanced graphics technologies, which are a key vehicle for taking our fundamental 3D technology forward and is also a platform that allows us to target PC, console and arcade market opportunities. Discussions are underway with potential partners in this market segment. The Future The fourteen SoCs already committed by our partners, when compared to one or two chips only two years ago, are a clear endorsement of both our technology and strategy. This trend is also forming a solid base for our future royalty revenue streams when these chips enter volume production. The significant and growing design wins in end-user equipment products for our DAB technology is only a precursor of what we aim to achieve through our partnerships elsewhere. Whilst during the first half we would have liked to have made more progress on the timing of the closure of some of the ongoing licensing negotiations, the seriousness of the level of interest from the potential partners is very encouraging. Combined with the clear signs that our existing partners intend to license new technologies from us as they conclude their first round of joint projects, this gives us confidence that we are on track to close 5+ agreements during this financial year.
