Insights

Silicon Motion reported stronger-than-expected Q3 2025 sales, higher margins and sequential profit improvement.

Revenue rose to $242.0 million, up 22% sequentially and 14% year-over-year, driven by higher SSD controller and eMMC/UFS volumes and growth in automotive and client PCIe5 controller sales. Gross margin expanded to 48.6% (GAAP) with non-GAAP gross margin at 48.7%, reflecting better product mix and higher average selling prices in some product lines.

Operating results improved: GAAP operating margin reached 12.1% and non-GAAP operating margin was 15.8%, while GAAP diluted EPS rose to $1.16 and non-GAAP EPS to $1.00. Management forecasts Q4 2025 revenue of $254 to $266 million and expects gross margin near 48.4%49.4% (GAAP), indicating continued sequential growth into the next quarter.

Key dependencies and risks include the company’s reliance on continued demand for eMMC/UFS and SSD controllers, the realization of product ramps in 2026, and non-GAAP adjustments (notably stock-based compensation and dispute-related expenses) that materially widen the gap between GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins. Cash ended the quarter at $272.4 million, down from the prior year, and routine capex was modest at $9.9 million, which suggests limited near-term cash strain but warrants monitoring.

Watch for quarterly revenue and margin realization against the provided Q4 guidance and the announced first dividend installment payment on November 26, 2025. Near-term horizon: monitor quarterly reports and conference-call commentary over the next 3 months for confirmation of product ramps and margin sustainability.

Business Highlights

  • Third quarter of 2025 sales increased 22% Q/Q and increased 14% Y/Y
    • SSD controller sales: 3Q of 2025 increased 20% to 25% Q/Q and decreased 0% to 5% Y/Y
    • eMMC+UFS controller sales: 3Q of 2025 increased 20% to 25% Q/Q and increased 35% to 40% Y/Y
    • SSD solutions sales: 3Q of 2025 increased 15% to 20% Q/Q and decreased 40% to 45% Y/Y

Third Quarter of 2025 Review

“We experienced better than projected strength across each of our markets in the third quarter of 2025 and delivered revenue well above our previously provided range,” stated Wallace Kou, President and CEO of Silicon Motion. “Our eMMC and UFS products experienced strong growth during the third quarter, primarily driven by a rebounding smartphone market coupled with market share gains. We also experienced continued growth in our automotive segment primarily driven by increased product diversification and new customer ramps. Our leading PCIe5 client SSD controller sales grew 45% quarter-over-quarter as AI-at-the-edge PCs are gaining traction and as white box AI server makers continue to leverage mainstream hardware components. The investments we have made over the past few years are taking root as we are starting to benefit from increased product and market diversification. We believe we are well positioned to achieve long-term, sustainable growth given our expanding product portfolio of leading consumer, enterprise, automotive and industrial storage solutions.”

Business Outlook

“Our efforts in product and market diversification are yielding results on both the top and bottom lines. We introduced several new products in 2025 in client SSDs, portable SSDs, eMMC/UFS, enterprise, automotive and expandable cards that will ramp and scale in 2026, driving higher share across our markets and benefiting from higher ASPs and strong margins. We expect continued top and bottom line growth in the current quarter, exceeding our previously announced full-year revenue run rate target of $1 billion exiting the quarter, and look forward to capitalizing on these new products and further expanding our product portfolio and target markets next year,” stated Mr. Kou.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, management expects:

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation and other items, including gross profit (non-GAAP), gross margin (non-GAAP), operating expenses (non-GAAP), operating profit (non-GAAP), operating margin (non-GAAP), non-operating income (expense) (non-GAAP), net income (non-GAAP), and earnings per diluted ADS (non-GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We compensate for the limitations of our non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors as these non-GAAP results exclude certain expenses, gains and losses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results and because they are consistent with the financial models and estimates published by many analysts who follow the Company. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with our forecasts, and for benchmarking our performance externally against our competitors. Also, when evaluating potential acquisitions, we exclude the items described below from our consideration of the target’s performance and valuation. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing the results from management’s perspective in addition to seeing our GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:

  • the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s on-going operating results;
  • the ability to better identify trends in the Company’s underlying business and perform related trend analysis;
  • a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company’s underlying business; and
  • an easier way to compare the Company’s operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of our competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

The following are explanations of each of the adjustments that we incorporate into our non-GAAP measures, as well as the reasons for excluding each of these individual items in our reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges related to the fair value of restricted stock units awarded to employees. The Company believes that the exclusion of these non-cash charges provides for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to our peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact of share-based compensation on its operating results.

Restructuring charges relate to the restructuring of our underperforming product lines, principally the write-down of NAND flash, embedded DRAM and SSD inventory valuation and severance payments. 

Dispute related expenses consist of legal, consultant, other fees and resolution related to the dispute.

Foreign exchange loss (gain) consists of translation gains and/or losses of non-US$ denominated current assets and current liabilities, as well as certain other balance sheet items, which result from the appreciation or depreciation of non-US$ currencies against the US$. We do not use financial instruments to manage the impact on our operations from changes in foreign exchange rates, and because our operations are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we therefore exclude foreign exchange gains and losses when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

Realized/Unrealized loss (gain) on investments relates to the disposal and net change in fair value of long-term investments.
