"Our quarterly financial results were within our guidance, and marked the fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth despite the weakness in the PC market as well as pricing headwinds from a stronger U.S. dollar," said Dr. Mike Chang, the chairman and CEO of the company. "The March quarter also marks the one-year anniversary of our recovery journey. During the past year, we have reversed the revenue decline and have rejuvenated the fundamentals of the company. We are seeing signs across the company that our recovery continues to gain momentum. Our new product hit rate has improved, with rising momentum in the Low Voltage MOSFET, IGBT and Power IC product lines. We are well positioned to deliver continuing top line growth, enabling a return to profitability in 2016 as we benefit from the operating leverage of our business model."
"During our fiscal third quarter, we returned approximately $4.0 million of cash to our shareholders by repurchasing 449,247 shares of our common share under our share repurchase program. Reflecting its confidence in AOS' business model and future outlook, our Board has authorized an increase to $50.0 million in the total amount of our share repurchase program, up from the remaining balance of approximately $17.8 million as of March 31, 2015. In addition, as part of the Board's continuing effort to improve our corporate governance practices and enhance independent functions of the Board, Mr. Michael J. Salameh has been appointed as the lead independent director of the Board," he added.
Business Outlook for Fiscal Q4 Ending June 30, 2015
The following statements are based on management's current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. AOS undertakes no obligation to update these statements.
- Revenue is expected to be between $80.5 million and $84.5 million.

- GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $16.2 million plus or minus $1 million.
- Tax expense is expected to be approximately $1.1 million to $1.3 million.
The above projections on GAAP gross margin and GAAP operating expenses include estimated share-based compensation expense of $1.0 million to $1.2 million.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections of future performance based on management's judgment, beliefs, current trends, and anticipated product performance. These forward looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to projected amount of revenues, gross margin, operating income/(expenses), tax expenses, net income/(loss), and share-based compensation expenses, expectation with respect to improvement in profit, our recovery progress and competitive position, the share repurchase program, our ability and strategy to develop new products, expand our sales, revenue and profitability, growth in revenue and market share, including adoption of low-voltage and power IC products, seasonality fluctuation in customer demand, the execution of our business plan, and other information under the section entitled "Business Outlook for Fiscal Q4 Ending June 30, 2015". Forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the decline of the PC industry and our ability to respond to such decline, our ability to introduce or develop new and enhanced products that achieve market acceptance, the actual product performance in volume production, the quality and reliability of our product, our ability to achieve design wins, the general business and economic conditions, the state of semiconductor industry and seasonality of our markets, our ability to maintain factory utilization at a desirable level, and other risks as described in our SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 filed on August 29, 2014. Other unknown or unpredictable factors or underlying assumptions subsequently proving to be incorrect could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All information provided in this press release is as of today's date, unless otherwise stated, and AOS undertakes no duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating income/(loss), net income/(loss) and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). These supplemental measures exclude share-based compensation expenses. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results. In addition, our management uses non-GAAP measures to compare our performance relative to forecasts and to benchmark our performance externally against competitors. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations in that the non-GAAP financial measures we use may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. For example, the term used in this press release, non-GAAP net income/(loss), does not have a standardized meaning. Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. We seek to compensate for this limitation by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures in the tables attached to this press release. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
