Revenues for the third quarter were $41.7 million, down 12.3% sequentially and down 9.2% over the third quarter of last year.
"We have come through a very challenging time for the Company with the restatement and the consequences of the stock options backdating investigation," said Harold Hughes, president and chief executive officer at Rambus. "We look forward to being able to focus our attention on technology development and licensing activities."
Total costs and expenses for the third quarter of 2007 were $58.2 million, which included $4.2 million of restatement and related legal expenses and $8.7 million of stock-based compensation as compared to total costs and expenses of $57.7 million for the second quarter of 2007, which included $7.5 million of restatement and related legal expenses and $10.3 million of stock-based compensation. The increased level of litigation activity during the current quarter caused non-restatement related litigation expenses to rise approximately $5.0 million over the previous quarter.
Total costs and expenses for the third quarter of 2006 were $71.7 million, which included $23.8 million of restatement and related legal expenses and $10.5 million of stock-based compensation.
Net loss for the third quarter of 2007 was $6.5 million as compared to a net loss of $2.7 million in the previous quarter and a net loss of $22.6 million in the third quarter last year. Diluted loss per share for the third quarter was $0.06 as compared to a loss of $0.03 for the previous quarter and a loss per share of $0.22 for the third quarter of 2006.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of the end of the quarter were $445 million, up approximately $3.5 million from the second quarter of 2007 and up $24 million from the third quarter of 2006.
