Several public health organizations have recommended, and many local governments have implemented, certain measures to slow and limit the transmission of the virus, including various social distancing ordinances, which has resulted in a significant deterioration of economic conditions in many of the countries in which we operate. The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices, including implementing work-from-home policies and restricting travel by our employees. The impact of the pandemic on the global economy and on our business, as well as on the business of our suppliers and customers, and the measures that may be needed in the future in response to it, will depend on many factors beyond our control and knowledge. We will continually monitor the situation to determine what actions may be necessary or appropriate to address the impact of the pandemic, which may include actions mandated or recommended by federal, state or local authorities. While we expect the impacts of COVID-19 to be temporary, the disruptions caused by the virus have negatively affected our revenue and results of operations in 2020 and 2021. For example, our revenues for fiscal year 2020 were lower than initially anticipated and we expect our revenues for 2021 to continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19. 25 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents OverviewPixelworks is a leading provider of high-performance and power-efficient visual processing solutions that bridge the gap between video content formats and rapidly advancing display capabilities. We develop and market semiconductor and software solutions that enable consistently high-quality, authentic viewing experiences in a wide variety of applications from cinema to smartphones. Our primary target markets include Mobile (smartphone, gaming and tablet),Home Entertainment (TV, personal video recorder ("PVR"), over-the-air ("OTA") and projector), Content (creation, remastering and delivery), and Business & Education (projector). We were one of the first companies to commercially launch a video System on Chip ("SoC") capable of deinterlacing 1080i HDTV signals and one of the first companies with a commercial dual-channel 1080i deinterlacer integrated circuit. Our Topaz product line was one of the industry's first single-chip SoC for digital projection. We first introduced our motion estimation / motion compensation technology ("MEMC") for TVs and in recent years introduced a mobile-optimizedMEMC solution for smartphones, one of several unique features in the mobile-optimized Iris visual processor. In 2019, we introduced ourHollywood award-winning TrueCut® video platform, the industry's first motion grading technology that allows fine tuning of motion appearance in cinematic content for a wide range of frame rates, shutter angles and display types. Our solutions enable worldwide manufacturers to offer leading-edge consumer electronics and professional display products, as well as video delivery and streaming solutions for content service providers. Our core visual display processing technology intelligently processes digital images and video from a variety of sources and optimizes the content for a superior viewing experience. Our video coding technology reduces storage requirements, significantly reduces bandwidth constraint issues and converts content between multiple formats to enable seamless delivery of video, including OTA streaming, while also maintaining end-to-end content security. Rapid growth in video consumption, combined with the move towards high frame rate / refresh rate displays, especially in mobile, is increasing the demand for our visual processing and video delivery solutions. Our technologies can be applied to a wide range of devices from large-screen projectors to cinematic big screens, to low-power mobile tablets and smartphones, to high-quality video infrastructure equipment and streaming devices. Our products are architected and optimized for power, cost, bandwidth, and overall system performance, according to the requirements of the specific application. On occasion, we have also licensed our technology. During the third quarter of 2021, we engaged in a strategic plan to re-align our mobile, projector, and video delivery businesses to improve their focus on theAsia -centered customers and employee stakeholders of those businesses. The global center of the mobile, projector, and video delivery businesses continues to be inAsia , and the steps taken by us to date and going forward are intended to improve our ability to access capital, customers, and talent. We have operated our primary R&D center inAsia for over 15 years and feel that the time is right to take advantage of that existing footprint and develop PWSH as a full profit-and-loss center underneathPixelworks, Inc. , for the mobile, projector, and video delivery businesses. Most of these steps have been completed or will be completed before the end of 2021. This plan will further enable PWSH to seek qualification to file an application for an initial public offering on theShanghai Stock Exchange's Sci-Tech innovAtion boaRd, known as the STAR Market (the "Listing"). We believe that the Listing will have many benefits, including improved access to new capital markets and the funding of our growth worldwide. We presently intend to qualify PWSH to apply for the Listing so that the Listing is consummated in 2023. The process of going public on the STAR Market includes several periods of review and, therefore, is a lengthy process. There is no guarantee that PWSH will be approved for a Listing at any point in the future. As ofSeptember 30, 2021 , we had an intellectual property portfolio of 334 patents related to the visual display of digital image data. We focus our research and development efforts on developing video algorithms that improve quality, and architectures that reduce system power, cost and bandwidth and increase overall system performance and device functionality. We seek to expand our technology portfolio through internal development and co-development with business partners, and we continually evaluate acquisition opportunities and other ways to leverage our technology into other high-value markets. 26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Results of Operations Revenue, net Net revenue for the three and nine month periods endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, was as follows (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2021 2020 % Change 2021 2020 % Change Revenue, net$ 15,196 $ 8,190 86 %$ 38,516 $ 31,217 23 % Net revenue increased$7.0 million , or 86%, in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 and increased$7.3 million , or 23% in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the first nine months of 2020. Revenue recorded in the third quarter of 2021 consisted of$14.3 million in revenue from the sale of integrated circuit ("IC") products and$0.8 million in revenue related to engineering services, license revenue and other. Revenue recorded in the third quarter of 2020 consisted of$8.0 million in revenue from the sale of IC products and$0.2 million in revenue related to engineering services, license revenue and other. Revenue recorded in the first nine months of 2021 consisted of$36.0 million in revenue from the sale of IC products and$2.5 million in revenue related to engineering services, license revenue and other. Revenue recorded in the first nine months of 2020 consisted of$30.0 million in revenue from the sale of IC products and$1.2 million in revenue related to engineering services, license revenue and other. The increase in IC revenue over both periods presented is primarily due to increased unit sales into the digital projector market and increased unit sales into the mobile market as we experienced increased demand compared to the comparable period. Cost of revenue and gross profit Cost of revenue and gross profit for the three and nine month periods endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, were as follows (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, % of % of % of % of 2021 revenue 2020 revenue 2021 revenue 2020 revenue Direct product costs and related overhead 1$ 7,131 47 %$ 3,638 44 %$ 18,998 49 %$ 13,932 45 % Amortization of acquired intangible assets 218 1 298 4 681 2 894 3 Stock-based compensation (138) (1) 117 1 17 0 345 1 Restructuring - 0 166 2 - 0 166 1 Inventory charges 2 - 0 (5) 0 - 0 80 0 Total cost of revenue$ 7,211 47 %$ 4,214 51 %$ 19,696 51 %$ 15,417 49 % Gross profit$ 7,985 53 %$ 3,976 49 %$ 18,820 49 %$ 15,800 51 % 1Includes purchased materials, assembly, test, labor, employee benefits and royalties. 2Includes charges to reduce inventory to lower of cost or market and a benefit for sales of previously written down inventory. Gross profit margin was 53% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 49% in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to decreased stock-based compensation expense and decreased amortization of acquired intangible assets amount and as a percentage of revenue when comparing the third quarter of 2021 to the third quarter of 2020. This was partially offset by an increase in direct product costs and related overhead primarily due to product mix and increased product costs. Gross profit margin was 49% in the first nine months of 2021 compared to 51% in the first nine months of 2020. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to an increase in direct product costs and related overhead due to product mix and increased product costs.Pixelworks' gross profit margin is subject to variability based on changes in revenue levels, product mix, average selling prices, startup costs, restructuring charges, amortization related to acquired intangible assets, and the timing and execution of manufacturing ramps as well as other factors. 27 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Research and development Research and development expense includes compensation and related costs for personnel, development-related expenses, including non-recurring engineering expenses and fees for outside services, depreciation and amortization, expensed equipment, facilities and information technology expense allocations and travel and related expenses. Co-development agreement During the third quarter of 2021, we entered into a best efforts co-development agreement with a customer to defray a portion of the research and development expenses we expect to incur in connection with our development of an integrated circuit product. We expect our development costs to exceed the amounts received from the customer, and although we expect to sell units of the product to the customer, there is no commitment or agreement from the customer for such sales at this time. Additionally, we retain ownership of any modifications or improvements to our pre-existing intellectual property and may use such improvements in products sold to other customers. Under the co-development agreement,$5.8 million was payable by the customer within 60 days of the date of the agreement and three additional payments of$2.2 million ,$1.3 million and$1.3 million are each payable upon completion of certain development milestones. As amounts become due and payable, they are offset against research and development expense on a pro rata basis. During the third quarter of 2021, we recognized an offset to research and development expense of$1.3 million . During the remainder of 2021, we expect to record an offset to research and development expense of approximately$2.5 million of the remaining deferred research and development reimbursement. Research and development expense for the three and nine month periods endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, was as follows (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2021 2020 % Change 2021 2020 % Change Research and development$ 6,792 $ 6,062 12 %$ 20,248 $ 18,643 9 % Research and development expense increased$0.7 million , or 12% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 and increased$1.6 million , or 9% in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the first nine months of 2020. The increases in the 2021 periods compared to the 2020 periods were primarily due to an increase in compensation expense due to a COVID-19 relief benefit received inChina in 2020 that was not received in 2021 as well as an increased management bonus accrual. The 2021 periods also included an increase in non-recurring engineering expense due to the timing of development activities. These increases were largely offset by a benefit related to the co-development agreement. Selling, general and administrative Selling, general and administrative expense includes compensation and related costs for personnel, sales commissions, facilities and information technology expense allocations, travel, outside services and other general expenses incurred in our sales, marketing, customer support, management, legal and other professional and administrative support functions. Selling, general and administrative expense for the three and nine month periods endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, was as follows (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2021 2020 % Change 2021 2020 % Change Selling, general and administrative$ 5,097 $ 4,621 10 %$ 14,847 $ 14,970
(1) %
Selling, general and administrative expense increased$0.5 million , or 10%, in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 primarily due to an increase in compensation expense due to a COVID-19 relief benefit received inChina in 2020 that was not received in 2021 as well as an increased management bonus accrual and an increase in stock-based compensation expense due to the timing of awards granted. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased$0.1 million , or 1% in the first nine month of 2021 compared to the first nine months of 2020 primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense due to the timing of awards granted, partially offset by increases in accounting and legal fees incurred as a result of the Capital Increase Agreement. 28 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Restructurings InAugust 2020 , we executed a restructuring plan to make the operation of the Company more efficient (the "August 2020 Plan"). TheAugust 2020 Plan included an approximately 14% reduction in workforce, primarily in the areas of operations, research and development, sales and marketing. InJanuary 2020 , we executed a restructuring plan to make the operation of the Company more efficient (the "January 2020 Plan"). TheJanuary 2020 Plan included an approximately 4% reduction in workforce, primarily in the areas of research and development and sales. Restructuring expense for the three and nine month periods endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, was as follows and was included in operating expenses (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Employee severance and benefits $ -$ 1,596 $ -$ 2,188 Total restructuring expense $ -$ 1,596 $ -$ 2,188 Included in cost of revenue $ -$ 166 $ -$ 166 Included in operating expenses - 1,430 - 2,022 During the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , we did not record any restructuring expense. During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2020 , we recorded$1.6 million in restructuring expense related to theAugust 2020 Plan. During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 we recorded$1.6 million in restructuring expense related to theAugust 2020 Plan and$0.6 million in restructuring expense related to theJanuary 2020 Plan. Provision for income taxes The provision for income taxes during the 2021 and 2020 periods is primarily comprised of current and deferred tax expense in profitable cost-plus foreign jurisdictions, accruals for tax contingencies in foreign jurisdictions and benefits for the reversal of previously recorded foreign tax contingencies due to the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation. We recorded a negligible benefit for the reversal of previously recorded foreign tax contingencies during the first nine months of 2021 and during the first nine months of 2020. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities Total cash and cash equivalents increased$35.3 million to$66.6 million atSeptember 30, 2021 from$31.3 million atDecember 31, 2020 . Short-term marketable securities decreased$0.3 million to zero atSeptember 30, 2021 from$0.3 million atDecember 31, 2020 . The net increase in cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities of$35.0 million during the first nine months of 2021 was the result of$39.6 million in proceeds from equity interests issued to the redeemable non-controlling interest and certain entities owned by employees,$1.3 million in proceeds from the issuances of common stock under our employee equity incentive plans and$0.3 million in net proceeds from our "at the market" equity offering. These increases were partially offset by$3.0 million used in operating activities,$2.3 million used for purchases of property and equipment and$0.9 million used for payments on other asset financings. As ofSeptember 30, 2021 , our cash and cash equivalents balance consisted of$18.8 million in cash equivalents held inU.S. dollar denominated money market funds and$47.8 million in cash. Our investment policy requires that our portfolio maintain a weighted average maturity of less than 12 months. Additionally, no maturities can extend beyond 24 months and concentrations with individual securities are limited. At the time of purchase, the short-term credit rating must be rated at least A-2 / P-2 / F-2 by at least two Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations ("NRSRO") and securities of issuers with a long-term credit rating must be rated at least A or A3 by at least two NRSRO. Our investment policy is reviewed at least annually by our Audit Committee. Accounts receivable, net Accounts receivable, net increased to$6.1 million as ofSeptember 30, 2021 from$4.7 million as ofDecember 31, 2020 . The average number of days sales outstanding decreased to 36 days as ofSeptember 30, 2021 from 44 days as ofDecember 31, 2020 . The increase in accounts receivable was due to normal fluctuations in the timing of sales and customer receipts within the third quarter of 2021, and the fourth quarter of 2020. 29 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Inventories Inventories were$1.6 million as ofSeptember 30, 2021 compared to$2.4 million atDecember 31, 2020 . Inventory turnover increased to 17.8 as ofSeptember 30, 2021 from 6.0 as ofDecember 31, 2020 primarily due to lower average inventory balances and increased cost of goods sold during the third quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Inventory turnover is calculated based on annualized quarterly operating results and average inventory balances during the quarter. Capital resources Short-term line of credit OnDecember 21, 2010 , we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement withSilicon Valley Bank (the "Bank"), which has been amended over time, including as recently asDecember 14, 2020 (as amended, the "Revolving Loan Agreement"). The Revolving Loan Agreement provided a secured working capital-based revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Line") in an aggregate amount of up to the lesser of (i)$10.0 million , or (ii)$2.5 million plus 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and certain foreign accounts receivable of bothPixelworks andViXS Systems, Inc. , subject to certain limitations on the amount of accounts receivables attributable to ViXS. In addition, the Revolving Loan Agreement provided for non-formula advances of up to$10.0 million which may have been made solely during the last five business days of any fiscal month or quarter and which were required to be repaid by us on or before the fifth business day after the applicable fiscal month or quarter end. Due to their repayment terms, non-formula advances did not provide us with usable liquidity. The Revolving Loan Agreement contained customary affirmative and negative covenants as well as customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default could have resulted in the acceleration of our obligations under the Revolving Loan Agreement, and an increase to the applicable interest rate, and would have permitted the Bank to exercise remedies with respect to its security interest. The Revolving Line had a maturity date ofMarch 26, 2021 . We did not renew the Revolving Loan Agreement upon its maturity. As ofDecember 31, 2020 , we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Line. Paycheck Protection Program Loan OnApril 25, 2020 , we entered into a loan withSilicon Valley Bank as the lender in an aggregate principal amount of$0.8 million (the "Loan") pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the "PPP") under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). The Loan was evidenced by a promissory note (the "Note") datedApril 25, 2020 and matured 2 years from the disbursement date. The Note had an interest rate of 1.000% per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred. Principal and interest were payable monthly commencing 6 months after the disbursement date and were able to be prepaid by us at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The Note contained customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults or breaches of the terms of the Note. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lender could require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding under the Note. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients could apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP. The Loan was subject to forgiveness to the extent proceeds were used for payroll costs, including payments required to continue group health care benefits and certain rent, utility, and mortgage interest expenses (collectively, "Qualifying Expenses"), pursuant to the terms and limitations of the PPP. We used the Loan amount for Qualifying Expenses. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we applied for and received full forgiveness and recorded a gain of$0.8 million within other income in our consolidated statements of operations. Equity Offering OnDecember 14, 2020 , we completed the sale of 4,900,000 shares of common stock in an underwritten registered offering. OnDecember 16, 2020 , an additional 735,000 shares were issued pursuant to the 30-day over-allotment option exercised by the underwriter. With the over-allotment shares, a total of 5,635,000 shares of common stock were sold in the offering at a price to the public of$2.45 per share. Net proceeds to the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other expenses, were approximately$12.7 million .Private Placement Investment OnDecember 7, 2020 , we completed a private placement of 724,288 shares of common stock to a certain accredited investor at a purchase price of$2.071 per share. OnDecember 15, 2020 , we completed a private placement of 2,475,712 shares of common stock to a certain accredited investor at a purchase price of$2.071 . Net proceeds to the Company, after deducting commissions and other expenses, were approximately$6.2 million . 30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents At the Market Offering OnJune 5, 2020 , we entered into a sales agreement (the "Sales Agreement") withCowen and Company, LLC ("Cowen"), pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of the Company's common stock, par value$0.001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to$25.0 million , from time to time, through an "at the market" equity offering program under which Cowen will act as sales agent. Under the Sales Agreement, Cowen may sell the shares by methods deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made by means of ordinary brokers' transactions on the Nasdaq Global Market or on any other existing trading market for the common stock or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, in block transactions, or as otherwise directed by us. We pay Cowen a commission equal to three percent (3.0%) of the gross sales proceeds of any common stock sold through Cowen under the Sales Agreement. The Sales Agreement may be terminated by us upon prior notice to Cowen or by Cowen upon prior notice to us, or at any time under certain circumstances, including but not limited to the occurrence of a material adverse change in the Company. We are not obligated to sell any shares under the Sales Agreement. During the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , we sold an aggregate of 1,747,466 shares of our common stock under this at the market offering, resulting in aggregate net proceeds to us of approximately$4.4 million , and gross proceeds of approximately$4.9 million and paid Cowen commissions and fees of approximately$0.2 million , and other expenses of$0.3 million . During the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , we sold an aggregate of 61,018 shares of our common stock under this at the market offering, resulting in aggregate net proceeds to us of approximately$0.3 million , and gross proceeds of approximately$0.4 million , and paid Cowen commissions and fees and other expenses of approximately$0.1 million . Capital Increase Agreement We have entered into a Capital Increase Agreement pursuant to which our subsidiary PWSH, received net proceeds from the sale of its securities pursuant thereto in an amount ofRMB 262.7 million ($39.6 million USD ). Additional information is provided in "Note 14: Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest and Shares of PWSH Sold to Employees", which is incorporated by reference into this section. 31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Liquidity As ofSeptember 30, 2021 , our cash and cash equivalents balance of$66.6 million was highly liquid. We anticipate that our existing working capital will be adequate to fund our operating, investing and financing needs for at least the next twelve months. We may pursue financing arrangements including the issuance of debt or equity securities or reduce expenditures, or both, to meet our cash requirements, including in the longer term. There is no assurance that, if required, we will be able to raise additional capital or reduce discretionary spending to provide the required liquidity which, in turn, may have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. From time to time, we evaluate acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies that complement our business. Any transactions, if consummated, may consume a material portion of our working capital or require the issuance of equity securities that may result in dilution to existing shareholders. Our ability to generate cash from operations is also subject to substantial risks described in Part II, Item 1A., "Risk Factors". If any of these risks occur, we may be unable to generate or sustain positive cash flow from operating activities. We would then be required to use existing cash and cash equivalents to support our working capital and other cash requirements. If additional funds are required to support our working capital requirements, acquisitions or other purposes, we may seek to raise funds through debt financing, equity financing or from other sources. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our shareholders could be significantly diluted, and these newly-issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing shareholders. If we raise additional funds by obtaining loans from third parties, the terms of those financing arrangements may include negative covenants or other restrictions on our business that could impair our operating flexibility and would also require us to incur interest expense. We can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available at all or, if available, that we would be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us. Contractual Payment Obligations Our contractual obligations for 2021 and beyond are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , filed with theSecurities and Exchange Commission onMarch 10, 2021 . Our obligations for 2021 and beyond have not changed materially as ofSeptember 30, 2021 . Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. 32
