Vitesse CEO Chris Gardner said during 2010, their revenue remained about flat with 2009 levels in spite of the economic climate, industry wide component shortages and a declining contribution from their legacy storage business.
"Our product revenue grew nearly 7% to $165.6m and revenue from our core products in Carrier and Enterprise Networking increased approximately 15% to $148.4m," Gardner said.
"By moving our manufacturing to an outsourced model, we reduced fixed costs, increased margins and shortened our cycle times and now have a strong foundation and robust product pipeline for profitable growth in the years ahead."
Vitesse Semiconductor expects revenues to be in the range of $37.5 to $41m and operating expenses to be between $22.5 and $23.5m for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 ending 31 December 2010.
