- Q3 Revenues Up 19% to $39.2M with $1.01 Non-GAAP EPS –

KFAR SAVA, Israel, Oct. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SILC), a leading provider of high-performance server/appliance networking solutions, today reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Financial Results

Third Quarter: Silicom's revenues for the third quarter of 2022 totalled $39.2 million, up 19% compared with $32.9 million for the third quarter of 2021.

On a GAAP basis, net income for the quarter totalled $6.0 million, or $0.88 per diluted share ($0.89 per basic share), up 129% compared with $2.6 million, or $0.38 per diluted share ($0.39 per basic share), for the third quarter of 2021.

On a non-GAAP basis (as described and reconciled below), net income for the quarter totalled $6.9 million, or $1.01 per diluted share ($1.02 per basic share), up 91% compared with $3.6 million, or $0.52 per diluted share ($0.53 per basic share), for the third quarter of 2021.

First Nine Months: Silicom's revenues for the first nine months of 2022 totalled $105.4 million, up 14% compared with $92.2 million for the first nine months of 2021.

On a GAAP basis, net income for the period totalled $12.7 million, or $1.87 per diluted share ($1.90 per basic share), up 75% compared with $7.2 million, or $1.04 per diluted share ($1.06 per basic share) for the first nine months of 2021.

On a non-GAAP basis (as described and reconciled below), net income for the period totalled $14.6 million, or $2.15 per diluted share ($2.18 per basic share), up 53% compared with $9.5 million, or $1.36 per diluted share ($1.39 per basic share) for the first nine months of 2021.

Guidance

While multiple design wins continue to drive high demand for our products, our ability to deliver continues to be impacted to some extent by the global components crisis, which, despite signs of some lessening, is still expected to continue into 2023. We therefore project revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 to range between $43 million and $45 million. The midpoint of this range represents 21% year-over-year revenue growth over the fourth quarter of 2021.

Comments of Management

Liron Eizenman, Silicom's President and CEO, commented, "We are very pleased to report another quarter of strong revenues, margins and profit growth, a clear demonstration of the power of our business model. The significant leverage inherent in the model pushed our operating margin to an impressive 18.4% for the quarter, and boosted our EPS to above $1, a 45% increase over Q2. While the ongoing components crisis has impacted our revenues to some extent, our ability to maintain a relatively high delivery rate worked to our benefit with both existing and new customers."

Mr. Eizenman continued, "In fact, we have never experienced demand at this level, or from such a broad variety of market players, resulting in a significant increase in our total addressable market. Once our Edge products, which we developed initially for the SD-WAN market, became a clear growth driver for us, we realized that the same products are attractive for many more applications and markets, with performance, cost and flexibility advantages that they too need to actualize their roadmap. Now, telcos, service providers, appliance vendors and cloud players are using Silicom Edge products for applications as disparate as Virtual CPE (uCPE), telco-dedicated routing, Secure Access Services Edge (SASE) services and more.

"As a result, we now have a record pipeline of Design Wins and opportunities, and interest from potential new customers continues to grow. For example, during the quarter we closed an initial order with a leading SASE cybersecurity solution provider, who tells us that the 'package' we offer - the combination of product functionality, price, rapid customization capabilities and support – is exactly what they need for their next-generation systems and applications."

Mr. Eizenman concluded, "With our total addressable market larger than ever, a record pipeline and stronger-than-ever momentum, we have never been better positioned and look forward to multi-year expansion."
