For Immediate Release

TRIDENT MICROSYSTEMS REPORTS RESULTS FOR

SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2011

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 28, 2011 — Trident Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRID), a leader in high-performance semiconductor system solutions for the connected home, today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

For the quarter, the company reported net revenues of $69.6 million, which compares with $88.3 million in the prior sequential quarter and $171.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2010. On a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis, the company reported a net loss for the quarter of $26.9 million, or $0.15 per share. This compares with a net loss of $40.8 million, or $0.23 per share in the prior sequential quarter and a net loss of $48.8 million, or $0.28 per share, in the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Non-GAAP Results

Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter was $21.7 million, or $0.12 per share, which compares with a non-GAAP net loss of $22.4 million, or $0.13 per share, in the prior sequential quarter and a non-GAAP net loss of $14.6 million, or $0.08 per share, in the quarter ended June 30, 2010. A detailed reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP net income (loss) is provided as a supplement to the attached financial statements.

“Although financial results for the second quarter were in-line with the company’s guidance range, the negative trends for both revenue and profitability underscore the need for a comprehensive turnaround,” said Dr. Bami Bastani, Trident’s chief executive officer and president. “The turnaround’s aim is to restore Trident to profitable growth by focusing resources on the key capabilities that differentiate us in the highly attractive connected home market and achieving an appropriate cost structure.”

Bastani continued, “In set-top box, we are building positive momentum with multiple customer programs such as our solutions for OTT (Over-the-Top) Android-based set-top boxes that we expect to ramp in the current quarter as well as new design wins achieved in the second quarter with North American cable operators and OEMs, which we expect will ramp into volume deployments by year end and into next year. In TV, in the third quarter we anticipate initial production shipments of our SXL connected SOC’s and two new Tier-One customers in production with our TV550 mid-range connected SOC. We expect that all of these programs will support a more robust revenue runrate entering 2012, augmented by additional new products that are sampling in the second half of 2011.”


Outlook

The company’s outlook for any period is based on current expectations and is subject to various factors, including those set forth in the Forward-Looking Information statement below. Actual results may differ materially. For the third quarter ending Sept. 30, 2011, the company offered the following guidance:

 

   

Net revenues are expected to be in the range of $72 million to $78 million.

   

GAAP gross margins are expected to be in the range of 23% to 26%, including the impact of approximately $8 million of amortization of acquired intangibles. Non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be in the range of 34% to 36%.

   

GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $45 million to $48 million, including the impact of approximately $2 million of stock compensation expense and $1 million of amortization of acquired intangibles. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $42 million to $45 million.

   

GAAP operating loss is expected to be in the range of $28 million to $34 million. This reflects the impact of an expected $12 million to $15 million of total GAAP adjustments, which include expected restructuring charges of $1 million to $4 million.

   

Non-GAAP operating loss is expected to be in the range of $16 million to $19 million.

   

Provision for income taxes is expected to be approximately $1 million.

   

Cash balance as of the end of the quarter is expected to be in the range of $30 million to $40 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared under GAAP, Trident uses a non-GAAP conforming, or non-GAAP, measure of net income (loss) that is GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses and gains. Non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP expenses give an indication of Trident’s baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that are considered by management to be outside the company’s core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP measures as a percentage of net revenues are used to identify key trends in performance and measure key results against objectives. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be materially different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Trident computes non-GAAP net income (loss) by adjusting GAAP net income (loss) for acquisition-related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, expenses related to the stock option investigation and related matters, legal settlements, restructuring charges, expenses related to software license fees, amortization and impairment of intangible assets from acquisitions, impairment loss, backlog amortization, capital


gains and losses and dividend income. A detailed reconciliation between net loss on a GAAP basis and non-GAAP net income (loss) is provided in an attached table.

Forward-Looking Information

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding financial expectations for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, expected restructuring activity, and our outlook for the second half of 2011. The forward-looking statements made above are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially depending on a number of factors. These risks include, in particular, our ability to realize the benefits from our acquisition of product lines and IP from NXP, our ability to reduce expenses, the timing of new product introductions, the ability to obtain design wins among major OEMs for Trident’s products, the availability of wafers from our suppliers, and competitive pressures, including pricing and competitors’ new product introductions, the impact of the uncertain global macroeconomic environment, the increasingly competitive TV and Set Top Box semiconductor markets and our ability to retain key employees globally. Additional factors that may affect Trident’s business are described in detail in Trident’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission available at http://www.sec.gov.

(1) Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets represents the amortization of identifiable intangible assets. Management deemed that these acquisition-related charges are not related to Trident’s core operating performance and it is appropriate to exclude those charges from Trident’s non-GAAP financial measures, as it enhances the ability of investors to compare Trident’s period-over-period operating results.

(2) Stock-based compensation expense relates primarily to the equity awards such as stock options and restricted stock. This is non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is dependent on market forces that are often beyond Trident’s control. Hence, management excludes this item from the GAAP financial measures.

(3) Charges for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. Management believes that these charges are not directly associated with the Company’s core operating performance.

(4) Stock options related professional fees are excluded from the non-GAAP net loss calculation. Management believes that these professional fees are not related to the Company’s ongoing business and operating performance of Trident.

(5) Acquisition-related expenses represent external costs incurred in connection with our acquisition, which we generally would not have incurred in the normal course of business.

(6) Management believes that restructuring charges are not directly associated with the Company’s core operating performance.

(7) The purchase price allocation assigned $43.4 million to gain on acquisition. Management believes that gain on acquisition is not related to the ongoing business and operating performance of Trident.

(8) Management believes that (Gain) loss on investments are not related to the ongoing business and operating performance of Trident.

(9) Management believes that legal settlements are not related to the ongoing business and operating performance of Trident.
