“While short term weakness for certain portable audio products drove our fiscal Q3 results and Q4 outlook lower than anticipated, we are on track to deliver 27 percent year over year growth for full FY16, based on the midpoint of Q4 guidance, and we remain confident in our ability to deliver strong growth in FY17,” said Jason Rhode, president and chief executive officer. “With a comprehensive roadmap of innovative audio and voice products targeting the mobile phone, smart accessory and digital headset markets, the company is focused on execution, diversification and sustained growth in the coming years.”

  • GAAP gross margin of 47.4 percent and non-GAAP gross margin of 47.5 percent;

  • GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.63 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.82.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP charges is included in the tables accompanying this press release.

Business Outlook – Fourth Quarter FY16

  • Revenue is expected to range between $210 million and $240 million;
  • GAAP gross margin is expected to be between 47 percent and 49 percent; and
