Business Update
“During the first nine months of 2007, we focused and restructured the company to help us strengthen our business and set a foundation upon which SigmaTel could grow,” said Phil Pompa, CEO of SigmaTel. “Operating expenditures have been reduced, as we had previously committed, and we remain committed to focusing on our three core product lines: PMP, Consumer Audio and Printers.”
Executive Summary:
* The first 3700 player is on the market
* Expansion of the 3700 product family can be expected in the first quarter of 2008
* The 3600 product family has numerous new programs underway
* The consumer audio design team is developing integrated power and audio chips for new market segments
* The printer group continues to collaborate with key Taiwanese ODMs on new OEM printer designs worldwide
“SigmaTel’s turnaround is a multi-phase process. We began by restructuring the company and managing our cash balance. In the second phase, we have begun to rebuild the business and focus on our strengths,” said Phil Pompa, CEO of SigmaTel. “This is an on-going effort and we must continue to grow revenue to achieve profitability. In parallel, we are beginning the third phase of the turn-around: expanding into new markets and investing in new product areas.”
Fourth Quarter 2007 Outlook
For the fourth quarter of 2007, the company anticipates revenue of $33 million to $38 million with non-GAAP gross margins of approximately 41 percent, plus or minus a couple of points. SigmaTel’s gross margin percentage varies primarily with product mix, pricing, and unit costs.
GAAP diluted loss per share is expected to be $0.22 to $0.15 with non-GAAP adjusted net loss per share expected to be $0.17 to $0.10, based on 36 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Our effective tax rate for the third quarter is expected to be approximately 9%.

Cautionary Language: This press release contains forward-looking statements based on current SigmaTel expectations. The words "expect," "will," "should," "would," "anticipate," "project," "outlook," "believe," "intend," and similar phrases as they relate to SigmaTel or future events are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the current views and assumptions of SigmaTel, but are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, and there will be events in the future that SigmaTel is not able to accurately predict or control. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: SigmaTel’s ability to effectively implement changes which will increase operational efficiencies, reduce costs as planned, and ultimately improve SigmaTel’s financial results; SigmaTel’s ability to succeed in its more narrowly-defined market emphasis and the ability of those markets to support SigmaTel’s business objectives; SigmaTel’s ability to gain continued market acceptance of its 3600 and 3700 families of products, and to achieve additional product wins with those products; and SigmaTel’s ability to correctly identify and pursue new market segments and to successfully develop new products for those segments. For a more thorough discussion of the risks to which the forward-looking statements are subject, please refer to recent SigmaTel filings with the SEC, particularly the Form 10-Q that was filed on August 9, 2007.
Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: SigmaTel provides a non-GAAP measure of gross profit, net (loss) income and net (loss) income per share in its earnings release. The presentation of gross profit is intended to be a supplemental measure of performance and excludes a non-cash charge related to amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions. The presentation of net (loss) income and net (loss) income per share is intended to be a supplemental measure of performance and excludes: (i) a non-cash charge related to amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions; (ii) a non-cash charge related to stock-based compensation; (iii) a non-cash benefit related to tax benefits of unwinding our IP migration strategy; (iv) a charge related to the abandonment of leased facilities; (v) a loss on the disposition of assets in conjunction with the lease abandonment; and (vi) a gain on the sale of the PC Audio product line. SigmaTel believes that excluding these items represents a better basis for the comparison of its current results to past, present, and future operating results, and a better means to highlight the results of core ongoing operations. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures included in the press release have been reconciled to the corresponding GAAP financial measures as required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures.
