MACOM Reports Loss in Q3, Revenues Fall Y/Y
MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings reported fiscal third-quarter 2019 non-GAAP loss of 42 cents per share, which came in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Notably, the company reported earnings of 13 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. Further, the reported loss is wider than the loss of 18 cents per share in the previous quarter.
Adjusted revenues decreased 25.2% year over year and 10.8% on a sequential basis to $108.31 million, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $110 million.
The top-line decline can be attributed to weak performance of the company across all the end-markets, especially in the data center market.
