ISSI Announces Preliminary September Quarter Results



Will Report Full Results on Wednesday, October 29

MILPITAS, Calif., Oct. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISSI) today provided preliminary financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014. Revenue is expected to be approximately $84 million, compared to guidance of $85 million to $89 million provided on July 24, 2014. GAAP net income per share is expected to be in the range of $0.10 to $0.14 per fully diluted share, compared to previous guidance of $0.15 to $0.19 per share. Non-GAAP net income per share is expected to be in the range of $0.19 to $0.23 per fully diluted share, compared to previous guidance of $0.25 to $0.29 per share.

"Revenue in our fiscal fourth quarter ended September 30 will be below our original expectations due to weakness in the communications and consumer markets in Asia, and wafer shortages from one of our flash foundries. Sales in our industrial and automotive end markets continued to perform well during the quarter," said Scott Howarth, ISSI's President and CEO.
