  • Omnivision Technologies, Inc 10-K
    To my fellow stockholders, Fiscal 2011 was an exciting and rewarding year for OmniVision as major tasks were accomplished and many performance records were set. Our key objectives in fiscal 2011 were threefold: • Continue the successful ramp of our OmniBSI devices, • Continue the development and implementation of our OmniBSI-2 technology, and • Capitalize on the growth and expansion opportunities presented by the image sensor markets with our advanced proprietary technology. We believe we have accomplished these goals, and are now resolved to maintain the momentum we have achieved. Fiscal Year Financial Results In fiscal 2011, revenues reached $956.5 million, approaching the $1 billion mark for the first time in our company history. Our net income for fiscal 2011 was $124.5 million, or $2.11 per diluted share. All of these financial metrics showed significant, if not record, improvement over fiscal 2010. Our balance sheet further demonstrated our focus on financial performance and the company’s overall strength in a competitive market. We ended the year with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $466.9 million. Technology Achievements OmniVision takes great pride in its successful record of innovation. Specifically, our expertise in implementing the OmniBSI technology has positioned OmniVision as a leading component supplier, providing image sensors to a wealth of products, including high-end smartphones, notebooks, webcams, portable multi-media devices and even commercial enterprise applications. Our portfolio of image sensors now extends from VGA up to 14 megapixels, all meeting demanding performance standards. It is this wide range of offerings, as well as the depth of our expertise, that enabled the company to ship more than 680 million CMOS image sensors last year.

  • 2018, but We Are Not Done by Any Means
    Dear Shareholders, Today, we are pleased to review a year which includes numerous positive fundamental developments. At Himax Technologies, we pride ourselves not only on defending our position as the market leader in our sector, in terms of quality, reliability, and execution, but also on our ability to pair aggressive development aspirations with creating long-term shareholder value. In this regard, we believe we have accomplished a great deal in 2018, but we are not done by any means. 2018 was a year of new developments in our technology sector and our markets. At Himax Technologies, we have successfully leveraged our strengths to navigate both market dynamics as well as company specific opportunities to deliver a solid year of growth for shareholders. Further, we proactively initiated and executed several strategic initiatives to strengthen our operation and streamline R&D investments. We believe these proactive strategies reinforced our status in the marketplace and further strengthened our ability to defend our position as a market leader. Additionally, our execution in 2018 positions us for future growth well beyond 2018. Despite a challenging global economic environment, we are more optimistic about the opportunities ahead as several of our industry-leading technologies are at or nearing key inflection points. As a result, we expect to enter a period of substantial growth in the near future. Now, let me briefly go through each of our major business segments. Being a global leader in the display driver IC (DDIC) segment, we have been benefiting from China’s continued capacity expansion of its panel manufacturing as well as the Chinese smartphone makers’ rapid overseas expansion.

  • Drive for Better Vision
    Drive for better vision 2011 Annual Report Dear Shareholders, 2011 was a year of transition for Himax as we made significant progress in expanding our sales and customer base for our small and medium-sized driver IC and non-driver businesses. The small-medium driver segment has become our single largest revenue contributor, overtaking the large panel driver business. Revenues from the non-driver businesses exceeded 10% of total revenues in 2011, also the first time in our history. Seeing strong fundamentals across many of our product lines, we are confident that we are in a position to deliver positive revenue and earnings growth in 2012. Our 2011 revenues totaled $633 million, representing a slight 1.5% decline from the previous year due to the drop-off in the large-panel driver category. This was mainly because of our loss of market share in one of our major customers who decided to diversify their driver IC supply base. However, we see significant growth opportunities in China, where panel manufacturers are aggressively expanding their large panel capacity. Small and medium-sized drivers grew strongly in 2011, thanks mainly to phenomenal demand in smartphones, which tend to require better displays and thus higher end driver ICs. We enjoy a strong position in the smartphone sector as a result of our leading technologies, competitive products and solid customer base. We expect the strong growth momentum for small and medium-sized drivers to continue into 2012, driven by growing markets such as smartphones, tablets and displays used in the automotive industry. Non-driver product sales increased even further in 2011 with several product segments experiencing significant shipment and revenue growth from last year.
