QUICKLOGIC ANNOUNCES 2003 RESULTS

- REVENUE INCREASES 29%

 

SUNNYVALE, Calif.—January 28, 2004 —QuickLogic Corporation (Nasdaq: QUIK), the inventor and pioneer of Embedded Standard Products (ESPs), today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Net revenue for 2003 was $42.0 million, up 29% from net revenue of $32.6 million in 2002.  ESP products were 41% of net revenue in 2003, up from 37% in 2002.  The net loss for 2003 was $4.7 million, or $0.20 per share, compared to a net loss of $31.3 million, or $1.34 per share, in 2002.  2003 results included provisions against inventory of $1.5 million and charges for asset write-offs of $750,000, partially offset by a $720,000 gain on the sale of Tower ordinary shares.  2002 results included charges for goodwill impairment of $11.4 million, write-down of marketable securities of $3.8 million, provisions against inventory of $1.6 million, charges for asset write-offs of $1.0 million and restructuring costs of $780,000.

 

Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $10.8 million, up 28% from net revenue of $8.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2002, and down 3% sequentially compared to the third quarter of 2003. ESP products were 38% of revenue for the quarter. The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $2.4 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to a net loss of $18.4 million, or $0.78 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2002, and compared to a net loss of $709,000, or $0.03 per share, in the third quarter of 2003. Fourth quarter 2003 results included a $1.0 million provision against inventory and $450,000 in charges for the write-off of assets.

 



 

“Clearly we are pleased with our 29% revenue growth in 2003,” said Tom Hart, Chairman, President and CEO. “Our revenue in Asia Pacific increased 76% over 2002. Embedded Standard Products finished the year at 41% of our total revenue, growing significantly faster than the overall field programmable logic market.   Coupled with the sampling and beginning shipments this quarter of our Eclipse II family, which we believe to be the lowest power, most secure field programmable products on the market, we’re confident that we are well positioned for the future.”
