SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jul 22, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Transmeta Corporation (Nasdaq:TMTA), the leader in efficient computing, today announced financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2004 ended June 25, 2004.

Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 was $6.0 million, up 15 percent from $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2004 and up 18 percent from $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2003. GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2004 was $25.5 million, or a loss of $0.15 per share. This compares with a GAAP net loss of $23.4 million, or a loss of $0.14 per share in the first quarter of 2004 and a GAAP net loss of $22.0 million, or a loss of $0.16 per share in the second quarter of 2003.

Excluding the net effects of non-cash charges and credits of $2.6 million, the non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2004 was $22.9 million, or a net loss of $0.13 per share. This compares with a non-GAAP net loss of $19.6 million, which excludes the net effects of non-cash charges and credits of $3.8 million, or a net loss of $0.11 per share in the first quarter of 2004, and a non-GAAP net loss of $18.3 million, which excludes net non-cash charges of $3.7 million, or a net loss of $0.13 per share in the second quarter of 2003.

"In the second quarter, we grew revenues by 18 percent year-over-year, increased unit shipments of our Efficeon processors by about 130 percent sequentially and made significant progress on our 90-nanometer Efficeon processors," said Dr. Matthew R. Perry, president and CEO of Transmeta. "The majority of our second quarter revenue came from the thin client and notebook markets, and the overall revenue was spread over a broader base of customers than in the past few quarters."

"We are pleased with the significant progress we are making on our 90-nanometer Efficeon processors. Our demonstration of 1.6 GHz 90-nanometer Efficeon processors at Computex in June was well received by existing as well as potential customers and partners. In fact, our first 90-nanometer customer plans to launch its product late in the third quarter. We also sampled our first 1.7 GHz 90-nanometer Efficeon during the second quarter. We expect some additional Efficeon systems to ship in 2004; however, due to market dynamics and customer resource constraints, the majority of the Efficeon designs are expected to ship in 2005," said Dr. Perry.

"During the quarter, we formed a licensing group within Transmeta to focus on servicing our first LongRun2 licensee and pursuing additional opportunities. In July, we met our planned delivery commitments to our first licensing partner and received $3.0 million in cash as the first installment of our technology transfer fee for our LongRun2 technologies," said Dr. Perry.

Highlights

-- Sharp introduced its Mebius Muramasa MobilePC in Japan. The
MobilePC, which is the first UPC-like product to use
Transmeta's Efficeon(TM) processor, weighs less than two
pounds and is 1.2 inches thin.

-- Hewlett-Packard announced the availability of its HP Blade PC
bc1000 as part of the HP Consolidated Client Infrastructure
(CCI) solution. The CCI solution consists of an HP thin
client, which is powered by Transmeta's Crusoe(R) processor,
and the Blade PC, which is powered by a Transmeta Efficeon
processor.

-- Fujitsu Siemens recently announced that its new FUTRO S thin
client series will utilize Transmeta's Crusoe processors.

-- iBase announced that it is using Transmeta's Efficeon
processors in its Mini-ITX small board computer, reducing time
to market for Efficeon in the embedded and consumer
marketplace.

-- Transmeta announced that its new 90-nanometer Efficeon
processors will include "No Execute" (commonly known as "NX")
support as a standard feature. Efficeon processors, in
conjunction with the Execution Protection feature in
Microsoft's Windows XP Service Pack 2, will offer increased
protection against many of the most common types of virus and
worm attacks.

-- Additional highlights include seven new Tablet PCs and other
mobile computers, including those from Elitegroup Computer
Systems, JLT Computers and Microstar International. Several
European customers also introduced new embedded products in
the second quarter, including a single circuit board system
from KWS Computersysteme, an embedded industrial PC from MEN
Mikro and a compact PCI-CPU from SMA Regelsysteme. All these
new products are powered by Transmeta's Crusoe processors.

Current Financial Outlook for Third Quarter 2004

The following outlook statements are based upon current expectations. These statements are forward looking, and actual results could differ materially.

The company currently expects its third quarter revenue to be between $8.0 million and $8.7 million, about $3.5 million of which is expected to be revenue from its first LongRun2(TM) licensing partner for the transfer of LongRun2 technologies. GAAP net loss per share for the third quarter is expected to be in the range of $0.11 to $0.13 and a non-GAAP net loss per share in the range of $0.10 to $0.12. The expected non-GAAP net loss per share excludes the effect of non-cash amortization and deferred compensation charges, which are expected to be approximately $2.3 million for the third quarter. Operating expenses are expected to be around $22.0 million. Cash and equivalents at the end of September is expected to be approximately $65.0 million.
