California Micro Devices Presents September Quarter Outlook

MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- California Micro Devices (NASDAQ: CAMD) today presented its financial outlook for the second fiscal quarter of 2006, which ends September 30, 2005. Revenue is expected to be between $16.5 and $17.5 million compared to previous guidance of $16.0 to $17.0 million, $14.7 million in the prior quarter and $17.1 million in the same quarter a year ago. Diluted earnings per share are expected to be between $0.05 and $0.06 compared to previous guidance of $0.04 to $0.05, $0.02 in the prior quarter and $0.10 a year ago.

"We have raised our Q2 revenue and earnings guidance as a result of a stronger than expected demand from our mobile handset customers," said Robert V. Dickinson, president and CEO. "Revenue from our personal computer and digital consumer electronics products will be down sequentially due to a decline in demand for older products. Although this decline will be more rapid than expected, it will be more than offset by the greater strength in demand from our mobile handset customers." He noted that so far this quarter bookings are significantly stronger and design win activity slightly stronger than in Q1.
