CUSIP NO. 82705T102
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity.  Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.
 
On December 22, 2014, the Reporting Persons delivered a letter to the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”). In the letter, among other things, the Reporting Persons highlighted that the Issuer trades at 48%-116% discount to the sum-of-its-parts valuation.  The Reporting Persons have identified significant unrealized value and a robust balance sheet obscured by a bloated cost structure that is approximately 2000bps higher than the Issuer’s peers. The letter also noted that the Issuer’s valuable 60 GHz assets are not properly reflected in the current market value and act as a drag on earnings.  The Reporting Persons called on the Board to immediately act to cut costs, aggressively repurchase shares, and take action to unlock the value of the Issuer’s assets. A copy of the Reporting Persons’ letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein.  The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis.  Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, continuing to engage in communications with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with stockholders of the Issuer and others about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons’ investment, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, board structure (including board composition) or operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
 (a)           The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 77,654,832 Shares outstanding as of October 31, 2014, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, 2014.
 
As of the close of business on December 22, 2014, Engaged Capital Master I beneficially owned 1,714,370 Shares, constituting approximately 2.2% of the Shares outstanding. Each of Engaged Capital I and Engaged Capital Offshore, as feeder funds of Engaged Capital Master I, may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,714,370 Shares owned by Engaged Capital Master I, constituting approximately 2.2% of the Shares outstanding.

Engaged Capital, as the general partner and investment adviser of Engaged Capital Master I and Engaged Capital Master II, may be deemed to beneficially own the 4,011,852 Shares owned in the aggregate by Engaged Capital Master I and Engaged Capital Master II, constituting approximately 5.2% of the Shares outstanding.  Engaged Holdings, as the managing member of Engaged Capital, may be deemed to beneficially own the 4,011,852 Shares owned in the aggregate by Engaged Capital Master I and Engaged Capital Master II, constituting approximately 5.2% of the Shares outstanding.  Mr. Welling, as the managing member and CIO of Engaged Capital and sole member of Engaged Holdings, may be deemed to beneficially own the 4,011,852 Shares owned in the aggregate by Engaged Capital Master I and Engaged Capital Master II, constituting approximately 5.2% of the Shares outstanding.
 
Each Reporting Person, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the Shares directly owned by the other Reporting Persons.  Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.
 
(b)           By virtue of their respective positions with Engaged Capital Master I, each of Engaged Capital I, Engaged Capital Offshore, Engaged Capital, Engaged Holdings and Mr. Welling may be deemed to have sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares reported owned by Engaged Capital Master I.
 
By virtue of their respective positions with Engaged Capital Master II, each of Engaged Capital II, Engaged Capital Offshore II, Engaged Capital, Engaged Holdings and Mr. Welling may be deemed to have sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares reported owned by Engaged Capital Master II.

(d)           No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.
 
 
(e)
Not applicable.

On December 23, 2014 the Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing Agreement in which the Reporting Persons agreed to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law.  The Joint Filing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Other than as described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.

Exhibit 99.2
 


December 22, 2014

Members of the Board of Directors
Silicon Image, Inc.
1140 East Arques Ave.
Sunnyvale, CA 94085


Gentlemen:

As you know, Engaged Capital has been a significant shareholder of Silicon Image, Inc. (“SIMG” or the “Company”) for over a year. We have recently increased our position and now own approximately 5.2% of the Company’s outstanding shares.  We believe that SIMG has highly valuable assets and technologies which are currently underappreciated by the market and when valued on a sum-of-the-parts basis, are worth between 48%-116% more than the Company’s current share price.  Further, we believe the decisions and actions that are required to unlock this latent value are under the full control of the Board and management team and must be immediately taken.

Highly valuable HDMI business

We believe the Company has a highly valuable High-Definition Multimedia Interface (“HDMI”) franchise that is obscured by the complexity of SIMG’s business.  In particular, the IP licensing operation provides a highly stable and profitable foundation for the Company’s business and valuation.  Generating over $50 million in annual revenue with gross margins of approximately 99%, this business is a significant contributor to both earnings and cash flow.  We believe this revenue stream will remain stable over time as a significant portion of these revenues are derived from HDMI applications.  In addition to this licensing revenue, SIMG generates over $80 million in consumer electronics product revenue, the majority of which is derived from HDMI products.  This revenue stream has increased 38% YTD and has grown by over 30% in each of the last four quarters. Yet, the market does not appear to properly value the HDMI franchise which is lost in the Company’s complex business structure.

Bloated Cost Structure

We believe the Company’s profitability has been negatively impacted by a bloated cost structure more suitable for a much larger company.  SIMG’s operating expenses are nearly 50% of sales, which is approximately 2000bps higher than well run semiconductor peers, which operate with expenses closer to 30% of sales.  SIMG has the responsibility to materially increase profitability and create substantial shareholder value by reducing operating expenses and right-sizing the Company’s cost structure.
 
 
 

 
 
A material reduction in costs, beyond initiatives already announced by the Company, would greatly expand margins, earnings, and cash flow, even after taking into account the expected 10% revenue decline in 2015 driven by weakness in the Mobile High-Definition Link (“MHL”) business.  As illustrated in the chart below, despite generating substantial revenues, we believe SIMG’s MHL business is only marginally profitable, if profitable at all, due to the Company’s excessive operating expense structure.  As such, by properly managing its expenses, SIMG should experience only a minimal change in profitability even if the MHL business were to weaken further (see hypothetical “Downside Scenario” below). 1  While we believe this operating expense reduction opportunity was present prior to the recent MHL disappointment, the expected decline in 2015 revenues highlights the necessity to aggressively address the Company’s historical cost issues.
 
 
Hidden Value in 60 GHz Wireless Assets

Based on feedback from industry participants and competitors, we believe SIMG’s 60 GHz wireless assets have significant unrealized value.  The Company’s closest 60 GHz peer, Wilocity, was recently sold to a strategic acquirer for close to $400 million.  In addition, numerous leading technology companies including Qualcomm, Intel, Broadcom, and Samsung have announced plans to develop 60 GHz wireless capabilities over the past year, further validating the value of 60 GHz technology.  We applaud the recent decision by the Company to place SIMG’s 60 GHz assets into a separate, wholly owned subsidiary, and believe this move expands the options available for these assets and provides greater flexibility for a range of strategic outcomes.
 
____________________ 
1  2014E and 2015E are EC estimates based on SIMG guidance. Downside case is EC estimate assuming a significant decline in MHL revenue and a corresponding reduction in operating expenses as % of sales.
 
 
 

 
 
Despite holding tremendous potential value, we believe the 60 GHz assets currently have a negative impact on SIMG’s valuation due to the significant earnings drag caused by R&D investments in this technology with little to no offsetting revenue.  We believe this investment represents a ($0.15) loss per share headwind and estimate the Company’s earnings per share would be over 65% higher excluding this investment.2  Strategic actions with these assets would not only deliver significant value, but would also materially improve the Company’s profitability.  It is critical that the Board thoughtfully yet urgently flesh out a strategic path for the 60 GHz assets and execute on it successfully and quickly to deliver the greatest potential value for shareholders.
 

Valuation

There is a severe disconnect between SIMG’s current market value and the value of the Company’s assets.  To illustrate how large we believe the discount is, we share a summary of our valuation below.  As you can see, we believe that even in a worst case scenario, SIMG’s stock is trading at almost a 50% discount to the sum of its parts.



Due to the severe undervaluation and significant cash balance, currently almost $150 million, the Board has the opportunity and responsibility to create additional shareholder value through proper capital allocation.  If the Board is truly confident in the Company’s plan towards unlocking significant value, we encourage the Company to aggressively repurchase stock at current prices which are well below the intrinsic value of SIMG’s assets.

6 Assumes $100 million valuation in Low case and $250 million valuation in Base case.
7 $100M valuation based on recently announced $7 million investment by Qualcomm for 7% of business.
 
 
 

 

 
We appreciate the opportunity to share our views with the Board and management team over the past year.  We look forward to continuing our discussions on the opportunities available to unlock the significant value that exists in SIMG’s assets.  However, if the Company’s current Board and management team continue to be unable to unlock this value, we must exercise our rights as shareholders and consider the nomination of new directors for election at the upcoming annual meeting.

Sincerely,

 
 
 
Glenn W. Welling
Managing Member
