Fourth Quarter 2016 Review
“Due to continuing strength of our SSD controller business, representing our ninth consecutive quarter of SSD controller growth, we achieved fourth quarter sales that were on the high-end of our expectations,” said Wallace Kou, President and CEO of Silicon Motion. “Strength from our SSD controllers was however offset by seasonally weak eMMC controller sales and SSD Solutions project transitions.”
