Note to Editors:Download Financial Tables
QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), the lowest power programmable logic leader, today announced its revenue results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006. Additional financial results for the third quarter will be available as soon as practicable after the Company’s internal review of historical stock option practices and related accounting is completed.
Revenue for the third quarter of 2006 was $8.6 million, down seven percent compared with the second quarter of 2006, and down 32 percent compared with the third quarter of 2005. The year-over-year change in revenue was primarily due to both the Company’s pASIC 1 and pASIC 2 end-of-life program and to reduced sales for specific military applications, which was partially offset by revenue growth from its new products. These new products – Eclipse II, QuickPCI II, PolarPro and QuickMIPS – contributed 27 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 2006, compared with 25 percent of revenue in the second quarter of 2006 and four percent of revenue in the third quarter of 2005.
The Company also reported that the historical financial impact of its previously announced internal review of stock option practices and related accounting is not yet known. The Company will not announce its full financial results nor file its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006 or the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 until after the completion of the review. The Company will make every effort to complete its review and provide full financial results as soon as practicable. Company executives will refrain from commenting further until the review is concluded.
“New product revenue grew in the third quarter to be 27 percent of total revenue. While we are disappointed with our total revenue results, we continue to be confident in our future due to customer response to the compelling advantage of our lowest-power solutions,” said E. Thomas Hart, chairman, president and CEO. “In addition, we finished the quarter with a cash position of $29.8 million.”
