Ad-hoc announcement in accordance with § 15 WpHG: Dialog Semiconductor revises down its revenue and gross margin outlook for the full year
Dialog Semiconductor (News - Alert) plc (XETRA: DLG), a provider of highly integrated
power management, AC/DC power conversion, solid state lighting and
Bluetooth(R) Smart wireless technology, today revises down its outlook
for the full year 2016.
On 5 May 2016, Dialog indicated that it expected revenue for the full
year 2016 to decline high single digit percentage year-on-year. However,
as a result of the continuing softness in smartphone market demand, the
company now anticipates revenue for the full year 2016 to decline
approximately 15% year-on-year. We expect growth momentum in our
Connectivity and Power Conversion products to remain strong through 2016.
In line with the revenue performance, we expect underlying gross margin
percentage for the full year to be slightly below the level achieved in
2015. The effect of the lower anticipated revenue in the full year 2016
will be partially offset by rigorous control of operating expenses in
the period.
Based on our current visibility, we anticipate revenue for Q3 2016 to
improve sequentially from Q2 2016 and to be in the range of $290 to $320
million. On the basis of this revenue guidance, gross margin in Q3 2016
will be marginally above H1 2016.
