Quantum Corporation Reports Fiscal Second Quarter Results

2009-10-27 16:36 ET - News Release

SAN JOSE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/27/09

Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM), the leading global specialist in backup, recovery and archive, today announced that revenue for its fiscal second quarter (FQ2'10), ended Sept. 30, 2009, was $175 million. This represented a 19 percent decline from the same period last year (FQ2'09), primarily due to the significantly weaker economy, a continued sales mix shift toward higher margin opportunities, and lower royalties (partly reflecting a one-time royalty payment from Riverbed Technology, Inc. last year). Despite the year-over-year decline, revenue grew 9 percent on a sequential basis. In addition, the company increased its GAAP gross margin rate to 43.8 percent and GAAP operating income margin to 8.5 percent -- up from 38.5 percent and 2.6 percent, respectively, in FQ2'09. In both cases, this was the highest level achieved in more than eight years.
