ZORAN CORPORATION REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2010 RESULTS

Sunnyvale, Calif. — February 3, 2011 — Zoran Corporation (Nasdaq: ZRAN), a leading provider of digital solutions for applications in the digital entertainment and digital imaging markets, today reported results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Revenues for the fourth quarter, which includes Microtune revenues subsequent to the closing of the acquisition on November 30, 2010 of $5.4 million, were $74.2 million, compared to $99.3 million last quarter and $93.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company reported a fourth quarter GAAP net loss of $32.9 million, or $0.67 per share, which compares with a GAAP net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.08 per share, for the previous quarter and GAAP net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.06 per share, for the fourth quarter of the prior year.

Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter, including the impact of Microtune, was $15.2 million, or $0.31 per share, which excludes $398 thousand of amortization of acquired intangible assets, $2.4 million of restructuring expenses, $2.1 million of acquisition related expenses, $1.1 million related to shareholder consent revocation activities, $3.3 million of stock-based compensation expenses, and includes an adjustment of $8.4 million for the tax provision to a non-GAAP rate. Excluding Microtune, non-GAAP net loss would have been $14.6 million, or $0.30 per share. This compares with a non-GAAP net loss of $810 thousand, or $0.02 per share, for the previous quarter, and a non-GAAP net income of $514 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share for the same period last year.

For the full year ended December 31, 2010, revenues were $357.3 million, compared to $380.1 million for 2009. GAAP net loss for 2010 was $47.6 million, or $0.95 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $33.0 million or $0.64 per share for the prior year. Non-GAAP net loss for 2010 was $21.5 million, or $0.43 per share. This compares with a non-GAAP net loss of $12.7 million, or $0.25 per share for 2009.

“We believe our fourth quarter 2010 results validate the execution of the restructuring plan initiated by Zoran in the third quarter,” said Dr. Levy Gerzberg, president and chief executive officer of Zoran. “We are confident that we have the right strategic plan in place to deliver a return to sustainable and profitable growth in 2011.

“In 2010 digital camera revenues grew 44 percent over 2009,” Dr. Gerzberg continued. “We are increasing our market share and enhancing our position as we broaden our addressable markets with new applications such as digital video camcorders, video surveillance, and video conferencing. Printer Imaging continues to gain momentum and revenues from Imaging hardware grew 45 percent as our investments in SoC solutions for laser technology pay off. In addition, as a result of the actions we took to restructure our DVD business, we expect it to be profitable each quarter of 2011.

“During the quarter, we began a deployment with Samsung to one of the leading satellite operators in India, marking our first conditional access deployment in that region. In addition, our acquisition of Microtune is proving highly synergistic as we gain new design wins for our complete solution, establishing Zoran as a serious competitor in the set-top-box market.”

“In DTV, we are excited about the opportunities we see in this market. We are currently in the midst of the design cycle for products which will ship in late 2011 and 2012 and early indications, including two top-tier wins for our SoC and FRC platform, support our belief that we can expand our position as a major player in the DTV market. We continue to monitor our progress against our performance targets for DTV, and we are encouraged by the high level of customer engagements,” concluded Dr. Gerzberg.

Future Outlook

The following forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, and actual results may differ materially.

The Company is currently expecting first quarter 2011 revenues to range between $81 million and $85 million, with gross margins ranging between 54 and 54.5 percent. Excluding acquisition-related amortization costs and stock-based compensation expense, non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in a range of $63 million to $64 million. Acquisition-related amortization costs are expected to be approximately $1.0 million and stock-based compensation expense is expected to range between $3.6 and $4.1 million. The Company expects to record a first quarter GAAP loss in the range of $0.46 to $0.49 per share on approximately 49 million shares. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes acquisition-related amortization costs and stock-based compensation expenses, the Company expects to record a first quarter loss of $0.35 to $0.39 per share. With this outlook, cash from operations is expected to decline by approximately $14 million.

Zoran will provide more commentary on its first quarter results during the quarterly conference call.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Zoran provides non-GAAP financial information, including non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP EPS that excludes charges such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expense, shareholder consent revocation expenses, non-recurring litigation settlements and associated income tax adjustments. Non-GAAP results are reconciled to GAAP results on the attached Schedule.

The Company believes that its non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because it excludes items that management considers to be outside of the Company’s core operating results. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial information, in combination with the Company’s financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provides investors with additional perspective and a more meaningful understanding of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. In addition, the Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to review and assess the financial performance of the Company, to determine executive officer incentive compensation, and to plan and forecast performance in future periods. The Company’s non-GAAP financial information, is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not an alternative to GAAP financial information, and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies.
