February 12, 2025

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW), a leading provider of innovative video and display processing solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Fourth Quarter and Recent Highlights

Total revenue of $9.1 million, with revenue from the home & enterprise market increasing 14% sequentially and 5% year-over-yearPixelworks Shanghai subsidiary awarded $1.8 million in cash subsidies associated with its previous certification and ongoing participation in China’s “Little Giant” programvivo launched the iQOO Z9 Turbo L smartphone incorporating Pixelworks’ X5 Turbo visual processor, enabling optimized high-frame-rate gaming with reduced power consumption to the mid-tier device marketPixelworks continued to advance its in-depth review of potential strategic options related to inbound interest in the Company’s Pixelworks Shanghai subsidiary

“Fourth quarter results reflected our expectations, with all financial metrics being within or better than our guided range,” stated Todd DeBonis, President and CEO of Pixelworks. “Revenue from the home and enterprise market increased sequentially and year-over-year, helping to partially offset the anticipated product transition in our mobile business. Gross margin expanded for the fourth consecutive quarter to nearly 55%, and our previously implemented cost reduction actions contributed to achieving meaningfully lower operating expenses for the quarter.

“During the fourth quarter and entering 2025, we have remained focused on positioning for a return to growth in our mobile business. We continue to be engaged on multiple customer programs to utilize our latest mobile visual processor solutions in new smartphone models targeted for launch this year. These program engagements include opportunities with our new cost-down visual processor solution targeting mid- and entry-level smartphones, representing expansion of our served target markets. We expect the start of renewed mobile growth in the first quarter, followed by an accelerating ramp of production shipments beginning in the second quarter. We are also encouraged by the growing mindshare and engagement activity with our TrueCut Motion platform and believe we are poised to demonstrate further ecosystem and commercial traction in 2025.

“In summary, we’ve made significant progress on reducing our overall cost structure, and we plan to further these efforts during the first half of 2025 as we simultaneously continue to execute on and deliver renewed growth in mobile. Together with multiple newly targeted revenue opportunities, including customer engagements for ASIC design services as well as IP licensing, we believe that our Pixelworks Shanghai subsidiary is on a clear path to achieve profitability for the full year 2025.”

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $9.1 million, compared to $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2024 and $20.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The sequential and year-over-year decrease in fourth quarter revenue was driven by lower sales in the Company’s mobile business, partially offset by increased sales in the home and enterprise market. For the full year 2024, total revenue was $43.2 million compared to $59.7 million in 2023. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflected lower revenue contribution from the Company’s mobile business.

For the full year 2024, GAAP operating expenses were $53.6 million compared to $54.3 million in the prior year.

On a non-GAAP basis, fourth quarter 2024 gross profit margin was 54.8%, compared to 51.3% in the third quarter of 2024 and 44.8% in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP gross profit margin for the full year 2024 was 51.7% compared to 43.2% in the prior year. Fourth quarter 2024 non-GAAP operating expenses were $10.4 million, compared to $12.4 million in the third quarter of 2024 and $12.0 million in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the full year 2024 were $48.1 million compared to $49.6 million in the prior year.

For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a GAAP net loss of $5.4 million, or ($0.09) per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $8.1 million, or ($0.14) per share, in the third quarter of 2024, and a GAAP net loss of $3.7 million, or ($0.07) per share, in the year-ago quarter. GAAP net loss for the full year 2024 was $28.7 million, or ($0.49) per share, compared to a net loss $26.2 million, or ($0.47) per share, in the prior year. Note, the Company refers to “net loss attributable to Pixelworks, Inc.” as “net loss”.

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 stock-based compensation expense and restructuring expense which are both 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 before interest income and other, net, income tax provision, 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 management 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.

Safe Harbor Statement
This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements may be identified by use of terms such as “begin,” “continue,” “will,” “expect”, “believe,” “anticipate” and similar terms or the negative of such terms, and include, without limitation, statements about adoption rates for our mobile visual processor solutions, expected traction for and ramping of production of our mobile products, launch dates of any mobile product, continued adoption of our TrueCut Motion platform, expected revenue from ASIC design services and IP licensing, results of cost savings, and expected path to profitability for Pixelworks Shanghai. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements for purposes of this release, including any projections of revenue or other financial items or any statements regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Actual results could vary materially from those contained in forward looking statements due to many factors, including, without limitation: the actual adoption of TrueCut Motion platform; the actual performance of the smartphone market; our ability to execute on our strategy; competitive factors, such as rival chip architectures, introduction or traction by competing designs, or pricing pressures; the success of our products in new or expanding markets; current global economic challenges; changes in the digital display and projection markets; seasonality in the consumer electronics market; our efforts to achieve profitability from operations; our limited financial resources; and our ability to attract and retain key personnel. 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 December 31, 2023, as well as subsequent SEC filings.

The forward-looking statements contained in this release are as of the date of this release, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update any such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Walmart Has 23.6% of U.S. Grocery Sales – But Costco Owns the AI Answer – 5W Grocery Retail AI Visibility Index 2026

Published

2 hours ago

May 7, 2026

Walmart Owns 21% of U.S. Grocery — But Costco Owns the AI Answer

NEW YORK, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 5WPR, the premier AI communications firm in the United States, today released the U.S. Grocery Retail AI Visibility Index 2026 — the 11th installment in 5W’s AI Visibility Index research series, and the first to rank American grocery retailers by how frequently they are cited inside AI-generated answers.

The headline finding rewrites the category league table.

Walmart, with approximately 21 percent of U.S. grocery market share — the largest in the country — ranks fourth in AI citation share. The retailer cited most often when American shoppers ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews where to buy their groceries is Costco. Trader Joe’s ranks second. Whole Foods ranks third. Aldi, H-E-B, and Wegmans are all punching far above what their physical footprint would predict.

“Market share is a lagging indicator. AI citation share is a leading indicator,” said Ronn Torossian, Founder and Chairman of 5W. “The grocers who close that gap in 2026 will define the category in 2030. Most grocery CMOs we talk to are running 2019 playbooks against 2026 consumer behavior.”

5W researchers ran more than 80 consumer-intent queries across 12 sub-categories — best overall grocery store, cheapest, highest-quality produce, best private label, best organic, best meal planning, best bulk, best delivery, best customer service, best regional, and others — across the four leading consumer AI platforms. Each retailer was scored on citation frequency, position within the answer, sentiment, and sub-category dominance.

The top 10: Costco, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Walmart, Kroger, Aldi, H-E-B, Publix, Wegmans, and Target.

Key structural findings:

Market share no longer predicts AI citation share. Walmart’s roughly 21 percent share translates to an estimated 8 to 10 percent AI citation share across premium query categories. The decoupling is the single largest such gap in American retail.Private label is the highest-leverage citation asset a grocer owns. Kirkland, Trader Joe’s, 365, Good & Gather, and Great Value are cited directly by name in AI answers at rates that exceed most national CPG brands.Regional loyalty translates directly into regional AI dominance. Regional chains outperform national chains in their home markets by 3x or more.Reddit and TikTok are under-priced citation surfaces. Perplexity pulls a majority of its answers from community sources. ChatGPT and Claude weight Reddit heavily.

The report also identifies six 2026 dynamics reshaping the category, including the new GLP-1 grocery basket, Aldi’s expansion as a citation-compounding program, and Walmart’s CEO transition from Doug McMillon to John Furner — effective February 1, 2026 — as a brand-narrative inflection point.

The full Index, including ranks 11 through 25 and sub-category breakdowns, is available as a free download at 5wpr.com/research.

About 5W

5W is the AI Communications Firm, building brand authority across the platforms where decisions now happen — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews — alongside earned media, digital, and influencer channels. 5W combines public relations, digital marketing, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and proprietary AI visibility research, helping clients measure and grow their presence in AI-driven buyer research.

The article examines how redevelopment projects and youth programs are reshaping community life across Poughkeepsie.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y., May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What does long term community growth look like when a city invests in both people and public spaces? HelloNation has published a HelloNation article that provides the answer through a detailed look at how Poughkeepsie is combining youth investment, neighborhood improvements and adaptive reuse projects to support residents and strengthen the city’s future.

The article explains that Poughkeepsie is undergoing a period of reinvention centered on infrastructure upgrades, youth programming and redevelopment along the city’s Northside. According to the article, local and county leaders are working to create spaces where residents can learn, gather and build stronger community connections. The article notes that these efforts are intended to improve quality of life while helping the city grow in a more sustainable and inclusive way.

A major focus of the article is the planned Youth Opportunity Union, also known as the YOU, a large multipurpose youth facility backed by Dutchess County. The HelloNation article describes the project as a 19,000 square foot center that will include childcare services, wellness support, tutoring areas, teaching kitchens and both indoor and outdoor recreation spaces. The article explains that the project reflects a larger regional effort to increase opportunities for children and teenagers in underserved communities.

The article also highlights additional youth centered investments connected to sports, education and recreation. According to the article, Dutchess County has awarded grants to local organizations serving young people between the ages of 6 and 17. The article further explains that Poughkeepsie’s City Parks program has introduced mini grants designed to support renovations and activities in neighborhood parks, including Pershing Avenue and Malcolm X parks.

Beyond youth programs, the article details how the city is working to improve transportation and neighborhood infrastructure. The HelloNation article explains that Poughkeepsie launched its first five year paving plan in 2025, beginning with major roadway improvements on Main Street and other corridors. The article states that these upgrades are intended to improve safety, durability and daily conditions for residents while supporting broader redevelopment goals throughout the city.

Another important part of the article focuses on adaptive reuse and environmental redevelopment on the Northside. The article describes how Scenic Hudson plans to transform the former Standard Gage Factory into the Northside Hub, a redevelopment project designed to serve as both a nonprofit headquarters and a community gathering space. According to the article, the project will feature solar powered operations, office space, public parkland and community facilities near the Walkway Over the Hudson and Dutchess Rail Trail.

The article also explains that Poughkeepsie’s selection as the Mid Hudson winner in New York’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative adds additional momentum to current redevelopment efforts. The HelloNation article notes that the funding will support new downtown projects that build on existing investments in youth programs, infrastructure and adaptive reuse. Together, these efforts are presented as part of a broader strategy to create long term stability and opportunity for local residents.

The article concludes that Poughkeepsie’s emerging identity is closely tied to projects that strengthen neighborhoods while supporting future generations. Poughkeepsie Puts Youth, Neighborhood Parks and Sustainable Reuse at the Center of Renewal features insights from HelloNation Staff Writer, community development coverage of Poughkeepsie, New York, in HelloNation.
