Comments of Management
 
Mr. Shaike Orbach, Silicom’s President and CEO, commented, “Our shortfall for the second quarter reflects the longer-than-expected decision-making processes and slower-than-projected market deployments by some of our largest customers. While this has had an impact on our revenues, giving us what we believe will be our weakest quarter for 2015, we are pleased to have been able to maintain strong profitability and a positive operating cash flow, demonstrating the value of our Company’s correct organizational structure. We continue to be strong believers in the strategy which has worked so well in the past, bringing us a steady flow of new design wins with both existing and new customers. We expect that the many active design wins in hand, together with the opportunities we project to win in the future, will compensate for any local delays and return us to a growth path.”
 
 
 

 
 
Mr. Orbach continued, “During and after the quarter, we announced two important ‘Cloud’ design wins: our first big win in the booming SDS (Software-Defined Storage) space, and a ramp-up of our business with an emerging storage industry leader. These successes demonstrate the strong need of virtualized Cloud players for Silicom’s high-performance connectivity solutions, and the fact that our solutions are catching up with the most important market trends.”

Mr. Orbach concluded, “With a long-term perspective, we continue to develop products for new industry trends and to build our customer relationships, and look forward to returning to growth in the quarters ahead.”
