Management Commentary
"We were pleased with our performance in the second quarter. Against the backdrop of continuing challenges in our served markets, we delivered on-target revenue and outperformed with earnings, gross margin and cash," said Tom Gutierrez, president and chief executive officer. "We continue to believe that our sapphire business will be the key driver for the balance of this year and we are confident we will resume shipments of ASF units in the second half of this year. This is based on recent positive developments in the LED market combined with the progress we have made in developing opportunities for our sapphire business in new markets outside of LED."
