"Our fourth quarter results marked a strong finish to the year, which was highlighted by the continued momentum and significant growth of our mobile business," stated
"Our growth initiatives across our mobile business, along with TrueCut Motion have continued to gain increasing traction and generate tangible results. In mobile, smartphone customers and mobile gaming studios have embraced our IRX-branded gaming experience and certification program, as well as the visual performance benefits this end-to-end solution provides to the mobile gaming ecosystem. We also achieved a significant commercial milestone for our TrueCut Motion platform with the recent adoption of our cinematic high frame rate technology by two of the largest studios, Walt Disney and Universal Pictures. We believe this early commercial validation of TrueCut Motion by these respected leaders in entertainment will pave the way for expanded adoption, as filmmakers and studios increasingly seek to deliver a premium, high frame rate experience to audiences in theaters and at home.
"Looking ahead, we are entering 2024 with strong momentum across our visual processing solutions and IRX certification program in mobile, coupled with initial studio adoption of our TrueCut Motion platform. We expect to achieve another year of accelerated growth in mobile, driven by a combination of increased unit volumes and new product introductions. Complementing our anticipated growth, we are driving continued gross margin expansion as part of an established path to achieve quarterly non-GAAP profitability in the second half of the year."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release makes reference to non-GAAP gross profit margins, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, which exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense which are required under GAAP as well as the tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments. The press release also makes reference to and reconciles GAAP net loss and adjusted EBITDA, which Pixelworks defines as GAAP net loss attributable to Pixelworks Inc. before interest income and other, net, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, as well as the specific items listed above.
Pixelworks management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the business and establish its operational goals, review its operations on a period-to-period basis, for compensation evaluations, to measure performance, and for budgeting and resource allocation. Pixelworks management believes it is useful for the Company and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information and non-GAAP financial measures to help assess the performance of Pixelworks' continuing business and to evaluate Pixelworks' future prospects. These non-GAAP measures, when reviewed together with the GAAP financial information, provide additional transparency and information for comparison and analysis of operating performance and trends. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items to facilitate management's review of the comparability of our core operating results on a period-to-period basis.
Because the Company's non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial results as presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is included in this earnings release which is available in the investor relations section of the Pixelworks website.

More information regarding potential factors that could affect the Company's financial results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements is included from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
