California Micro Devices Reports September Quarter Financial Results
Net profit of $0.04 per share and revenues of $14.9 million exceed guidance
MILPITAS, Calif. – Oct. 23, 2003 – California Micro Devices (NASDAQ: CAMD) today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2004, which ended September 30, 2003. Net profit per share of $0.04 exceeded guidance, compared to net losses of $0.08 in the prior quarter and $0.14 a year ago. Revenue of $14.9 million also exceeded guidance, representing a 25 percent increase over the $11.9 million in the prior quarter, and a 38 percent increase over the $10.8 million in the same quarter a year ago.
“Our fiscal Q2 financial performance signals a clear turnaround for our company, validating the strategy we put in place more than two years ago to more tightly focus our market strategy and adopt a ‘fab lite’ manufacturing model,” said Robert V. Dickinson, president and CEO. “In addition to our return to profitability for the first time since Q3 of fiscal 2001, our quarterly revenue reached the highest level in three years.”
Fiscal Q2 revenue growth was driven primarily by exceptionally strong demand for Mobile products together with strong shipments and higher prices for Medical products. Revenue from Computing products also grew in the quarter due partly to seasonal strength. Commenting on leading indicators, Dickinson reported that bookings in the quarter grew to $15.4 million, the highest level in three years, and that the number of design wins grew to 120, an all-time high. He further noted that a major process technology enhancement plus a number of noteworthy products were introduced during the quarter.
For the September quarter, California Micro Devices reported it had positive operating cash flow and that its cash balance increased to $10.4 million from the $3.3 million at the end of the prior quarter. The company also confirmed it was in full compliance with all debt covenants.
