PR Newswire

PORTLAND, Ore., May 14, 2026

PORTLAND, Ore. , May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW) ("Pixelworks" or the "Company"), a provider of innovative cinematic and enhanced visualization solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 and Recent Highlights

  • TrueCut Motion™ platform used to enable cinematic innovation in the post-production of groundbreaking concert film, Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard and Soft – The Tour Live in 3D
  • Received endorsement from Vue, the largest privately owned cinema operator in Europe, to bring advanced TrueCut Motion grading technology to movies in its premium cinematic experience auditoriums
  • Closed sale of Pixelworks' Shanghai semiconductor subsidiary to VeriSilicon in January 2026, strengthening the Company's financial position and flexibility 
  • Completed restructuring and streamlining of operations, refocusing the remaining organization on the Company's global technology licensing business 
  • Ended first quarter with cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $58 million as of March 31, 2026, and no debt 
  • Board of Directors authorized newly established stock repurchase program in the amount of $5 million

"Following the closed sale of our Shanghai-based subsidiary in early January, we completed a series of planned restructuring actions to streamline our post-transaction organization and cost structure to align with our go-forward strategy and business model," stated Todd DeBonis, Chairman and CEO of Pixelworks. "Today, Pixelworks is a repositioned and focused company with the entire team now directly supporting our strategy of building a global technology licensing business.

"Underpinned by our proven TrueCut Motion platform as well as significant intellectual property and expertise in visual imaging, we aim to deliver a growing portfolio of highly differentiated cinematic and visualization enhancement solutions. During the first quarter, we completed work on our most technically challenging motion grading project to-date, and we also continued to expand the ecosystem of theater operators endorsing our TrueCut Motion format. With a strong balance sheet, industry-leading technology and a lean organization, we are well capitalized to execute on our strategic growth objectives as global technology licensing company."

As previously announced, on January 6, 2026, the Company completed the transaction to sell its shares in Pixelworks Semiconductor Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Pixelworks ("Pixelworks Shanghai"), to a special purpose entity led by VeriSilicon Microelectronics (Shanghai). The contribution from the Pixelworks Shanghai semiconductor subsidiary to the operating results of the Company for the first quarter of 2026 was determined to be immaterial. Therefore, the Company's reported financial results contained in today's press release do not include discontinued operations activity from the first several days of January 2026 before the sale closed.
