(NYSE: SEM), a leading manufacturer of power management devices, today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 in-line with guidance provided on June 15, 2001. Sales for the quarter were $84.0 million, a 17.6% decrease from the $102.0 million recorded in the previous quarter and a 34.5% decrease from the $128.3 million reported in the second quarter of 2000. Diluted earnings per share were $0.01, compared to $0.12 in the first quarter of 2001, which excluded restructuring charges. New product sales increased 22% sequentially and represented 10% of second quarter sales. General Semiconductor continued to expand its low voltage trench MOSFET product line, adding 13 new products during the quarter and bringing total offerings in the line to 51 products. The Company also successfully introduced its first family of Analog power products including standard linear and low-dropout voltage regulators. Ronald A. Ostertag, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our second quarter revenue and earnings reflect the challenging environment faced by the semiconductor business. While visibility remains low, we believe that the demand for power semiconductors will increase over time, and we are taking steps to best capitalize on our many growth opportunities once economic conditions improve. New product sales as a percentage of total sales continues to grow, and we remain committed to continuing investment in new product development." Mr. Ostertag continued, "We are finalizing our previously announced review of operations, and will soon communicate the details of a plan to enhance profitability, including steps to increase efficiencies, significantly reduce costs and subcontract the manufacturing of certain mature products. We expect to take a one-time charge related to these actions in the third quarter." BUSINESS OUTLOOK Based on current market conditions, the Company expects revenues in the third quarter will decline about 5% sequentially with earnings per share, excluding special charges, down slightly sequentially. Mr. Ostertag concluded, "While current demand is weak across most of our end markets, we believe the requirement to efficiently manage power in products ranging from automobiles to hand-held devices ensures the long-term demand for our power management products."
