“AOS delivered strong execution in the March quarter that typically marks the lowest season for us,” said Dr. Mike Chang, chairman and CEO of AOS. “The revenue came in at the high end of our guidance range, and the gross margin and the bottom line exceeded the stated expectations. Our diversified product portfolio enabled us to deliver a sound performance amid challenges in the PC market, resulting in counter-seasonal growth. We believe that the improved operating performance is evidence that our turnaround strategies are beginning to bear fruit. We remain keenly focused on driving a more solid turnaround with full strength to achieve revenue growth and profitability.”
