”Dialog Semiconductor reports second quarter 2005 results and announces new CEO”
-
Q2 revenues grow to EUR 32.1 million (Q2 2004: EUR 30.4 million)
-
Profitability achieved in Q2 2005 with broader product and customer mix
-
Diversification confirmed by display driver ICs representing over 25% of total revenues

-
Roland Pudelko, current CEO, to concentrate on new strategy for Dialog’s imaging business
Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, July 21, 2005 – Dialog Semiconductor Plc (FWB: DLG, Nasdaq: DLGS) today reported sales of EUR 32.1 million for the second quarter of 2005 (Q2 2004: EUR 30.4 million). The Company has achieved an operating profit of EUR 0.2 million and an EPS of EUR 0.01 in Q2 2005. A significant aspect of the quarter’s growth is the further increase of shipments of color display driver ICs, which now form a key part of the business, representing over 25% of the company’s revenues. We believe that this trend shows both a diversification of our customer base and a strengthening of relationships with existing customers.
Roland Pudelko said “The quarter’s results show an improvement in sales, a return to profitability and a broader product and customer mix. This has come from the success of our development team responding to customers’ needs enabling those customers to bring their new products to the market.
Other important developments were the launch of two further standard products. First, the DA9023 which is a product for the programming and control of LEDs and lightshow sequences in mobile phones.
Second, the introduction to the market of an advanced multimedia mobile phone handset from network operator O2, which is the first to be based on an Intel processor and features Dialog Semiconductor’s integrated DA9011 GSM/GPRS power management and audio controller.”
Dialog Semiconductor Plc also announced today the appointment of Dr Jalal Bagherli as CEO. Dr Bagherli expects to take up his duties in early October 2005.
Dr Bagherli is currently Vice President & General Manager for the Mobile Multimedia business unit for Broadcom Corporation. Prior to this, he was the CEO of Alphamosaic, which was acquired by Broadcom in September 2004. Dr Bagherli has extensive experience of the semiconductor industry with a wealth of knowledge about the Far Eastern, European and North American markets, gained through his previous professional and executive positions with Texas Instruments and Sony.
Roland Pudelko, the current CEO, has decided to concentrate on implementing the new strategy for the imaging business of Dialog. As President of our imaging company, Dialog Semiconductor Inc and its corresponding European activities, he will seek to develop this business with the participation of external investors and partners. Roland Pudelko will remain as CEO until Dr Bagherli takes up his position and will thereafter remain a director of Dialog Semiconductor Plc.
Roland Pudelko commented “Going forward I am excited about the prospect of driving the new strategy for Dialog’s imaging business. I see great potential for this business by partnering with international industry players and with external investors”.
Jan Tufvesson, Chairman, commented: “We are delighted that Jalal has decided to join the Company and we look forward to the insight he will bring. He has first class experience in the semiconductor industry and has a proven track record of success and achievement. We are confident he can make a huge contribution to the Company at this exciting stage of its development.
We are also very pleased that Roland will focus on developing the strategic partnerships which are necessary to bring success to our imaging business in this dynamic market. I would personally like to thank Roland for his support and commitment as Chief Executive Officer over the past 16 years and I look forward to continuing to work with him.”
The Company’s interim report as of June 30, 2005 has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and is available at .

Operating and Financial Review
Forward-looking statements
This interim report contains “forward-looking statements”. All statements regarding our future financial condition, results of operations and businesses, strategy, plans and objectives are forward-looking. Statements containing the words “believes”, “intends”, “expects” and words of similar meaning are also forward-looking.

Results of Operations
Revenues
Revenues were €50.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared with €53.4 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease of 5.1% in revenues primarily results from lower sales volumes in our wireless communication market and in our automotive / industrial applications sector during the period. Revenues in the wireless communications sector were €37.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared with €40.0 million for the corresponding period in the prior year, comprising 74% and 75% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Revenues from our automotive / industrial applications sector were €12.7 million and €13.3 million, representing 25% of our total revenues for both periods. Revenues in our imaging sector were €0.4 million and €0.1 million, representing 1% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Due to shipments during the balance of 2005 of new products we expect revenues for the year ended December 30, 2005 to be higher than those for the year ended December 30, 2004. However, our forward visibility with respect to customer demand is limited and a successful introduction of new products depends on the completion of new designs on a timely basis. Our revenues for 2005 will also be highly dependent on continued growth in the worldwide market for cellular handsets. We cannot give any assurance that this growth trend will continue throughout 2005.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists of the costs of outsourcing production and assembly, related personnel costs and applicable overhead and depreciation of test and other equipment. Cost of sales was €35.2 million and €35.3 million (or 69.4% and 66.0% of our total revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 respectively. As a result of lower production volume, our internal testing operation has been running at an decreased utilization level, which in turn has increased per unit production costs and increased cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues.
Gross Margin
Our gross margin decreased from 34.0% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to 30.6% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in per unit production costs was the primary factor contributing to the decrease in our gross margin. In addition, as a result of introducing new products to volume production in the last months, per unit production costs increased during their ramp-up phase and also increased cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, travel expenses, sales commissions and costs associated with advertising and other marketing activities. Selling and marketing expenses increased from €2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, to €3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, in connection with a higher proportion of sales volumes primarily in Asia of products subject to commission payments. As a percentage of total revenues, selling and marketing expenses increased from 5.2% to 7.4%.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and support costs for our finance, human resources, information systems and other management departments. General and administrative expenses were €2.6 million and €2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively. As a percentage of total revenues General and administrative was 5.1% and 5.2% in the six months ended June 30 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist principally of unreimbursed design and engineering related costs associated with the development of new application specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”) and application specific standard products (“ASSPs”). Research and development expenses decreased 11.1% from €15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to €13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Research and development expenses decreased from 28.7% to 26.9% as a percentage of total revenues.
Operating Loss
We reported an operating loss of €4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and €2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase in operating loss was primarily due to a lower gross margin in the first six months ended June 30, 2005.
Interest Income, net
Interest and similar income, net from the Company’s investments (primarily short-term deposits and securities) was €0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and €0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 reflecting mainly higher cash equivalents and marketable securities balances during the first six months ended June 30, 2004.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gains and Losses, net
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses result from amounts ultimately realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the period end remeasurement of foreign currency denominated receivables, prepaid expenses and payables into Euro. Foreign currency exchange gains, net were €0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared with foreign currency exchange losses of €0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Other income
In the fourth quarter of 2001, we determined that our ability to recover the full amount of our investments in silicon supplier ESM Holding Limited (“ESM”) was impaired. Accordingly we wrote off our investments in ESM. In March 2002, International Rectifier acquired ESM. As a result we were able to recover €28 thousand and €54 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was €0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared with an income tax benefit of €0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Due to further losses incurred in the period ended June 30, 2005, we have not recognized deferred tax assets on additional tax-loss carryforwards. As a result the company reports an income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to an income tax benefit for the corresponding period in the prior year, in which deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards were recognized.
Net Loss
For the reasons described above, we reported net loss of €3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared with net loss of €1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flows
Cash provided by operating activities was €1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared with cash provided by operating activities of €6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The cash inflow in the six months ended June 30, 2005 primarily results from lower inventories. In the six months ended June 30, 2004, our business volume increased significantly whereas our working capital (excluding cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities) increased by only €0.6 million. This resulted in an increase in related operating cash inflow.
Cash used for investing activities was €6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared with €0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 consisted mostly of the purchase of software and licenses of €4.7 million for the use of electronic design automated tools and of the purchase of test equipment, tooling (masks), laboratory equipment, probecards and loadboards of €2.3 million. Cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 consisted mostly of the purchase of test equipment, tooling (masks), laboratory and electronic data processing equipment of €6.6 million and the purchase of software, licenses and patents of €0.4 million, this was mostly offset be the net sale of marketable securities of €7.0 million.
Liquidity
At June 30, 2005 we had €9.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and €17.1 million in marketable securities. Our working capital was €61.0 million.
Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been cash from operations, cash from the issuance of ordinary shares in 1999 and 2000, short-term borrowings, the recovery of the investment in ESM Limited and in 2003 the early repayment of a deposit from Chartered. As of June 30, 2005 we had no long-term debt other than the deferred payments for acquired software licenses. We expect to reduce our working capital in 2005, thereby increasing our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities in 2005. A decrease in customer demand for our products caused by unfavorable industry conditions or an inability to develop new products in response to technological changes could materially reduce the amount of cash generated from operations.
If necessary, we have available for use a short-term credit facility of €12.5 million that bears interest at a rate of EURIBOR + 0.75% per annum. At June 30, 2005 we had no amounts outstanding under this facility. Accordingly, we believe the funding available from these and other sources will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital requirements in the near to medium term.
Backlog
In accordance with Frankfurt Stock Exchange rules and regulations, companies are required to disclose information regarding their backlog. Purchase order patterns of our customers can vary widely and therefore no consistent shipping arrangements have been established. “Ship-to-line” agreements with major customers underlie our responsibility to act on a timely basis to ensure appropriate inventory levels and production capabilities. Other customers place purchase orders ranging from four to twelve weeks and provide forecasts for a further period, generally not to exceed twelve months, and these purchase orders are not legally binding. Since any backlog information published would not be based on a consistent pattern of purchase orders by our customers, we believe such information not to be meaningful and, accordingly, do not provide such information here.

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. General
a) Description of Business
Dialog Semiconductor Plc and subsidiaries ("Dialog" or the "Company") is a fabless semiconductor company that develops and supplies power management, audio and imaging technology, delivering innovative mixed signal standard products as well as application specific IC solutions for wireless, automotive and industrial applications. The company’s expertise in mixed signal design, with products manufactured entirely in CMOS technology, enhances the performance and features of wireless, hand-held and portable electronic products. Its technology is also used in intelligent control circuits in automotive and industrial applications. Production of these designs is then outsourced, and the final products are returned to Dialog for approval and testing before delivery to the customers.
b) Vulnerability Due to Certain Significant Concentrations
The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from historical results include, but are not limited to, the highly cyclical nature of both the semiconductor and wireless communications industries, dependence on certain customers and the ability to obtain adequate supply of sub-micron wafers.
The Company's products are generally utilized in the cellular communications and automotive industries. The Company generates a substantial portion of its revenue from the wireless communications market, which accounted for 75% of the Company’s total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The Company’s revenue base is diversified by geographic region and by individual customer. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates influence the Company’s results of operations. The Company’s sales are primarily denominated in Euros and US dollars whereas purchases of raw materials and manufacturing services are primarily denominated in US dollars. The Company also has foreign currency exchange risks with respect to its net investments in foreign subsidiaries in Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Fluctuations in these currencies could significantly impact the Company’s reported results from operations.
The Company depends on a relatively small number of customers for a substantial portion of its revenues, and the loss of one or more of these customers may result in a significant decline in future revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 three customers individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company's revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 one customer individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company's revenues. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers.
c) Basis of Presentation
In compliance with the European Parliament and Council Regulation on the application of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted in July 2002, all listed European Union companies are required to prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS for fiscal years commencing on or after January 1, 2005.
Accordingly the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and its interpretation adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial statements are presented in Euro, rounded to the nearest thousand. They are prepared on the historical cost basis except that financial instruments classified as available-for-sale are stated at their fair value.
IFRS 1, First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, requires disclosures that explain how the transition from previous GAAP to IFRS affected the entity’s reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows and to comply with each IFRS effective at the reporting date for its first IFRS financial statements. An entity shall prepare an opening IFRS balance sheet at the date of transition and present at least one year of comparative information under IFRS. Accordingly our date of transition to IFRS is the beginning of business on 1 January 2004 (opening IFRS balance sheet date). As a UK company, Dialog has to use its financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom ("UK GAAP"), which are filed at Companies House for purposes of conversion from previous GAAP to IFRS.
An explanation of how the transition to IFRS has affected the reported financial position and financial performance of the group is provided in note 8. A summary of significant accounting policies has been provided in the interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2005. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have been condensed or omitted. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2004 consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, prepared in accordance with UK GAAP.
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 30, 2005.
d) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and judgments include the recoverability of the long-lived assets, the realizability of deferred income tax assets and inventories, and the fair value of stock-based employee compensation awards. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. Segment Reporting
Segment information is presented in respect of the Group`s business and geographical segments. The primary format, business segments, is based on the Company’s principal sales markets.

8a Deferred taxes
In accordance with IAS 12.74, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities. In addition, the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities must relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority for either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered. This was the case for the Company’s deferred tax assets and its deferred tax liabilities. Therefore the Company offset the deferred tax assets and liabilities. Furthermore, in accordance with IAS 1.70 deferred tax liabilities and assets should always be classified as non-current. Therefore, in the IFRS balance sheet the net amount of all deferred tax assets and liabilities is shown under non-current assets. Under UK-GAAP, the Company showed the net amount of its deferred tax assets under current assets.
8b Prepaid expenses
In accordance with IAS 1.57 an asset shall be classified as current, when it is expected to be realized within twelve months after the balance sheet date. Included in the Company’s prepayments are advance payments, which are expected to be refunded to the Company after the next twelve months. This amount of the prepaid expenses is therefore shown under non current assets in the Company’s IFRS balance sheet. Under UK-GAAP, the Company showed the total amount of prepaid expenses under current assets.
8c Consideration received on the sale of stock purchase plan shares
In accordance with IAS 32.33 the Company recognizes the consideration received on the sale of shares directly in equity. In the IFRS balance sheet the Company presents the gain on the sale of those shares as additional share premium. In the Company’s UK-GAAP balance sheet, the Company presents this gain within the accumulated deficit.
8d Currency translation adjustment
In accordance with IAS 21.39(c) and IAS 21.44 exchange differences resulting from the translation of the financial statements of foreign entities for incorporation in the Company’s financial statements, shall be recognized as a separate component of equity. In the Company’s UK-GAAP Balance sheet this equity component has been presented within the Company’s accumulated deficit.
8e Gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets
In accordance with IAS 39.55 (b) a gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset is recognized directly in equity through the statement of changes in equity until the financial asset is derecognized. The Company considers it best practice, to show this equity component in a separate line item within the equity section of its IFRS balance sheet. In the Company’s UK-GAAP financial statements such a gain or loss is shown as an income or an expense in the profit and loss account in the line “Expense from revaluation of marketable securities” with the relating tax effect in the line “income tax benefit”. Accordingly in the Company’s UK-GAAP Balance sheet the net effect of such a gain or loss from the revaluation of marketable securities is presented within the Company’s accumulated deficit.
8f Equity settled share based payment transactions
In accordance with IFRS 2.8 goods or services received or acquired in a share based payment transaction which do not qualify for recognition as assets, are recognized as expenses. The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan which allows Group employees to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognized as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity (IFRS 2.7). The Company considers it best practice to increase retained earnings for the corresponding goods and services received. In the Company’s IFRS Profit and Loss account, the employee expense is allocated to the corresponding operating expenses. Under UK-GAAP, no expense and no increase in equity is recorded for equity settled share based payment transactions.
8g Amortization of intangible assets
Amortization of intangible assets has been allocated to the functional costs.
8h Foreign currency exchange gains and losses
For UK-GAAP, the Company allocates its foreign currency exchange gains and losses into operating and non-operating expenses. In the IFRS profit and loss account all foreign currency exchange gains and losses are classified as non-operating expenses.
8i Other income
The Company recovered a part of an investment which previously was written off (for further information see Note 7 to the Company’s December 31, 2004 consolidated financial UK-GAAP statements). For UK-GAAP, the Company shows this benefit within the operating result. In the IFRS Profit and loss account this benefit is shown as non-operating income
