"Our revenue performance during the December quarter was consistent with our earlier expectations as supply constraints experienced early in the quarter were decreased," said Dr. Adya S. Tripathi, president and chief executive officer of Tripath. "We remain confident in the future of Tripath, and we are building on our strong intellectual property position with deliveries of key products and a continued focus on driving fundamental results."
"Tripath continues to move forward in product development and introductions. We completed a very successful showing at International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last week. During CES, we introduced the TAA2009, Tripath's first Trivici-based amplifier for flat panel TVs; announced the TCD6001 and TPS4100A that are powering multiple Panasonic's in-dash car audio head units; and introduced the TDA1800, our new Class-T Amplifier Driver," added Tripathi.
Tripath expects to announce final results and hold an investor conference call for its fiscal first quarter in the next few weeks, and the company plans to make an announcement of the date and call in advance.
