Giancarlo Zanni, member of the board of directors, declared that "Dolphin
Integration continues with confidence their product strategy, developing its
fame along the strong axis, economically and ecologically promising, of very low
power-consumption. The board wishes to congratulate all our teams for their push
toward innovation and commercial action, in front of an uncertain worldwide
situation, as well as their deep concern for the defense of our added value in
view of customers or competitors oftentimes oppressed by short-term concerns".
Perspectives
The company is preparing themselves for a constructive emergence from the
present crisis, not only by proposing products contributing to cost reduction
for their customers, as their « Reduced Cell Stem Libraries » (RCSL) which
change the name of the game with respect to traditional and complex CCSL, much
as RISC microprocessors have done it in the early eighties against the CISC
architectures, while positioning itself at the fore-front of state-of-the-art
technologies (beyond 65 nm). This product line represents a really interesting
alternative compared with the existing offer of our competitors.
The order backlog has evolved from 125 days at the beginning of the fiscal year
to 85 days at the closing of the first semester, but this backlog translates
into a horizon of F-09 sales turnover higher than last year. From these facts,
it appears that the sales turnover at the closing of the third quarter is higher
than last year`s by 4% in expectation of the rebound of the fiscal year closing.
This context allows to continue counting on an effective growth rate,
notwithstanding the extreme uncertainty of the present context.
