Commenting on the March quarterly results, Dr. Mike Chang, the chairman and CEO of the company, stated, “Our new product momentum continued to contribute to the revenue and gross margin growth. AOS reported $93.3 million in revenue, close to the high-end of our guidance range, representing an increase of 12.4% from the revenue in the same quarter a year ago. We also posted the eighth consecutive quarter of gradual gross margin expansion and delivered $0.21 non-GAAP earnings per share despite the fact that the March quarter is seasonally our lowest quarter. This, once again, demonstrates the strength of AOS recovery strategy that is now translating into a sustained improvement of our financial performance. We are also taking proactive and deliberate steps to gradually alleviate capacity constraints, and we expect to see higher production output starting in the September quarter. The entire team at AOS continues to keenly focus on developing differentiated technologies and introducing market driven new products, which we believe will further propel our business growth and profitability.”
