Global-Tech Advanced Innovations Reports Third Quarter Results for Fiscal 2013; Makes Significant Investment

to Expand CCM Business

HONG KONG–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Global-Tech Advanced Innovations Inc. (NAS: GAI) today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012 (the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2013).

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were $20.6 million, compared to $22.3 million for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2012. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $0.06 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net income of $3.3 million, or $1.09 per share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, which included $1.7 million in income from discontinued operations, net of taxes. As a result of the discontinued operation of our home appliance segment in January 2012, proper accounting treatment requires that net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 exclude approximately $21.9 million in sales of home appliances.

Net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 were $67.2 million, up approximately 24% when compared to $54.2 million in the corresponding nine-month period in fiscal 2012. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 was $0.3 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to a net income of $2.9 million, or $0.97 per share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2012. As a result of the discontinued operation of our home appliance segment in January 2012, proper accounting treatment requires that net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 exclude approximately $49.0 million in sales of home appliances.

John C.K. Sham, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “The growth momentum of our CCM business was slowed in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 by the unanticipated placement of purchase orders by some of our key customers for lower cost, lower pixel CCMs rather than higher pixel CCMs. The slowing momentum in our CCM business, together with rapidly rising labor costs in our electronic manufacturing service (EMS) business, adversely impacted our financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2013.”

Mr. Sham continued, “As discussed in prior releases and filings, opportunity remains for growth of our CCM business. To that end, significant investments were recently made towards the installation of two chip-on-board (COB) production lines and a COB sampling line, both of which we anticipate will expand and enhance our production capacity. A Class 10 clean room has …read more

Fairchild Semiconductor’s Power Supply WebDesigner Now Provides CCM, Non-Isolated PFC Buck and Buck LED Driver Designs in Under a Minute

New Modules Provide Optimal Design with Complete Schematics, Inductor Design and Bill of Materials

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Fairchild Semiconductor (NYS: FCS) , a leading global supplier of high performance power and mobile semiconductor solutions, has enhanced Power Supply WebDesigner – an online design and simulation tool that provides complete designs in under a minute – to include complete continuous conduction mode (CCM), non-isolated active PFC buck and buck LED driver designs.

From user-specified design inputs, the Power Supply WebDesigner (PSW) tool allows designers to choose all the components used in a design or have the tool automatically recommend the design values – providing Fairchild part numbers where applicable. PSW can automatically recommend design values, or allows the user to evaluate their own component choices.

While using the tool, designers can accept default recommended values, or spend time optimizing the important details to their unique design needs. Designers can get quick, accurate estimates on design performance, and refine design choices as they go. The tool also allows them to spend the time to perform detailed simulation analysis and learn the insights of how their design and its hardware prototype will work with higher degree of confidence.

When a design is complete, PSW creates a BOM which can be sent to their procurement department or instantly procure the components online, saving time on documentation or sourcing parts elsewhere. Additionally, they can save their design for future reference or pass the design on to other engineers.

Using the Power Supply WebDesigner tool provides the inexperienced designer a quick guided design, while the experienced designer can take their requirements and further customize critical design factors.

Updates:

  • Fairchild’s latest CCM buck and non-isolated PFC buck LED drivers are added options for PSW users, supporting Fairchild’s family of LED drivers.
  • First-available LED online tool designed to help design EMI filters, predict power factor (PF) and total harmonic distortion (THD).
  • PSW features have been extended to include the special driver requirements of low power (≤ 20W) …read more
