GigaMedia Announces Second-Quarter 2026

Financial Results

 

TAIPEI, Taiwan, July 31, 2026 GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ: GIGM) today announced its second-quarter 2026 unaudited financial results.

Comments from Management

In the second quarter of 2026, GigaMedia reported revenues of $2.13 million, with a gross profit $1.24 million, an operating loss of $0.10 million, but a net income of $0.55 million.

 

In this quarter, we successfully carried out an IP collaboration for a licensed game we operated in Hong Kong. With this success, we have achieved a significant increase in revenues. As a result, our operating loss reduced from $0.95 million to $0.10 million quarter-on-quarter.

 

Currently we focused on cultivating the customer base brought by this successful IP collaboration to build a solid groundwork for our future growth.

 

Meanwhile, in this quarter, we also successfully converted and settled our holdings of the corporate bonds of Aeolus Robotics Corporation ("Aeolus") into its preferred shares at advantageous prices. As a result of the conversion and settlement, we currently hold 33.35% of its ownership voting rights, and thereby account for it under the equity-method.

 

Aeolus is an R&D company engaged in developing AI-enabled service robots, specifically in elderly-care, night shift patrol and disinfection. We believe the strategic investment in this robotics company will position our company for a broader industry outlook, and open up vast business opportunities.

 

Second Quarter Overview

Operating revenues increased significantly by approximately 182.3% quarter-on-quarter, from $0.75 million in last quarter, and by 144.9% year-over-year from $0.87 million the same period last year.
Gross profit increased by 197.1% to $1.24 million from $0.42 million in last quarter, and increased by 159.7% compared to $0.48 million in the same period last year.

Investments in Aeolus were reclassified from available-for-sale to equity-method investment upon the conversion and settlement mentioned above. Considering the advantageous conversion and settlement prices, previous adjustments recorded in other comprehensive loss were reversed. As a result, the book value of the investment increased from $8.17 million to $12.67 million at the end of this quarter, and a deemed disposal gain of $0.37 million was recognized.
The net asset value was $3.69 per share.

Second-Quarter Financial Results

Consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2026 increased significantly by 182.3% quarter-on-quarter from $0.75 million in last quarter, and by 144.9% year-over-year from $0.87 million the same period last year.
Consolidated gross profit was $1.24 million, increased by 197.1% quarter-on-quarter and by 159.7% year-over-year.
Consolidated loss from operation of the second quarter of 2026 was $0.10 million, improved from $0.95 million in the first quarter.
Non-operating income from operation of the second quarter of 2026 was $0.65 million, improved from $0.07 million in the first quarter, mainly due to a

deemed disposal gain of $0.37 million upon the reclassification of Aeolus investments from available-for-sale to equity-method investment.
Net income in the second quarter of 2026 was $0.55 million, improved from a net loss of $0.88 million in the first quarter.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of the second quarter of 2026 amounted to $29.0 million, increased by 3.7% from $28.0 million as of the end of the first quarter.

Financial Position

GigaMedia maintained its solid financial position, with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash amounted to $29.0 million, or $2.63 per share, as of June 30, 2026.

Business Outlook

The following forward-looking statements reflect GigaMedia's expectations as of July 31, 2026. Given potential changes in economic conditions and consumer spending, the evolving nature of digital entertainments, and various other risk factors, including those discussed in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as referenced below, actual results may differ materially.

 

“In the second half of 2026, we will dedicate ourselves to sustaining the momentum from this quarter's success and deepening engagement with the customer base to fuel our future growth,” stated GigaMedia CEO James Huang.

 

As for new business, our management continues evaluating and pursuing prospects of strategic investment targets that are with potential to expand our business and create greater shareholder value.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement GigaMedia's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with US GAAP, the Company uses the following measure defined as non-GAAP by the SEC: EBITDA. Management believes that EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is a useful supplemental measure of performance because it excludes certain non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization and that EBITDA is a measure of performance used by some investors, equity analysts and others to make informed investment decisions. EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure under GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of using EBITDA is that it does not include all items that impact the company's net income for the period. Reconciliations to the GAAP equivalents of the non-GAAP financial measures are provided on the attached unaudited financial statements.
