Commenting on the results for the third quarter of 2012, Dr. Gerald Paul, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Over the course of the third quarter many of our end markets deteriorated substantially, in particular computing and consumer, which resulted in unexpectedly low orders from Asian distribution. Nonetheless the operating margin was in line with our business model. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as well as manufacturing fixed costs were kept well under control, while the quarter was burdened by temporary inefficiencies related to the volume drop and an inventory reduction.”
