TechFaith Reports Second Quarter 2007 Results
Monday August 13, 4:00 pm ET


BEIJING--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 13, 2007 -- China TechFaith Wireless Communication Technology Limited (NasdaqGM:CNTF - News), an ODM focused on research and development of cell phone solutions, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.



Net revenues for the second quarter of 2007 were US$32 million, as compared to US$21.6 million for the same period in 2006. Net loss for the second quarter of 2007 was US$4.7 million or US$0.11 per weighted average outstanding ADS (basic and diluted), which included net charge of US$0.02 per weighted average outstanding ADS related to our restructuring during the quarter. The restructuring-related expenses were US$ 0.8 million, which was included in general and administrative expenses, for employee compensation related to the previously announced downsizing.

Defu Dong, TechFaith's Chairman and CEO, said, "In the past 20 months, TechFaith was among the earliest to transform from an independent design house to an ODM focusing on research and development of cell phone solutions. We have successfully differentiated from traditional ODMs whose competitiveness is hardware design and manufacturing efficiency. TechFaith's model is an ODM focusing on research and development of advanced technologies, such as 3G, Window's based models, TD-SCDMA and technology combinations dual-mode phones like GSM/GSM, GSM/CDMA, GSM/WCDMA and GSM/TD-SCDMA. We believe our R&D capability is critical and the key driver to regain our business momentum and build shareholder value. In the past six months, we have established a diversified customer base with 50% - 60% revenue coming from international markets, including Asia, Europe, Africa, and Latin American countries. Sales to our top five customers accounted for approximately 30% - 40% of our total revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. We believe there is real opportunity to work side by side with customers all the way from product development through component procurement and actual production. We are confident the transition period is behind us. In the third quarter, we will strive to achieve breakeven and a sequential revenue growth of at least 10% over the second quarter, and return to profitability by year end."

Bob Huo, Deputy CEO of TechFaith, commented, "We are encouraged by our progress in the second quarter. We experienced an uptick in ODM sales, however, we believe TechFaith is capable of achieving more. We expect continued growth in our smartphone business, as orders from our domestic customers are ramping up, combined with a higher level of contract activity in Q2 from international customers. We successfully delivered the first shipment of smartphones with either CDMA or GSM mode to two Chinese wireless operators and the first shipment of CDMA/GSM dual-mode smartphones will be delivered to one of the Chinese wireless operators in Q3."

"We successfully launched a GSM/WCDMA dual mode feature phone in Europe. This is the first GSM/WCDMA dual mode model in the world and the market response was very active. It was reported by more than 40 European magazines and newspapers. In Q2, new orders of GMS/GMS dual mode and HSDPA from European countries, CDMA1X/ EVDO from Asian area have been received from distributors and operators. In Q3, two models of our ultra-low cost 3G WCDMA phones will be launched and two new models of music phone with high quality MP3 sound are expected to be delivered. For data card and wireless module business, HSDPA, TD-SCDMA and EVDO cards are also scheduled to be launched in Q3."

"We remain positive on the development in TD-SCDMA. Apart from the already signed contract with a Tier-1 customer, another two TD-SCDMA contracts were signed with two local customers in Q2. The fourth contract with a local customer will be signed in Q3. We expect that the TD-SCDMA projects could start generating revenues in Q4."

"We believe the ODM business will enjoy a stable growth in the coming quarters. From an operating standpoint, we are focused on returning to profitability. We have significantly reduced our cost structure and employee base through both the formation of joint ventures and downsizing. We think our cost structure is now in line with our business prospects and we are confident it will be able to support the expected growth we are targeting. We expect to achieve revenues in the third quarter in the range of US$ 35 million to US$ 38 million."

TechFaith ended the second quarter of 2007 with a balance of US$90.2 million and US$17.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash respectively.
