Vitesse Semi (VTSS $2.52 -0.43) lowers fourth quarter revenue guidance
to $29 million to $30.5 million from $35 million to $38 million versus the $35.8
mln consensus; product margins to 57% to 59% from 59% to 61%.
"We continue to see softening of global demand as a number of customers manage
through existing inventories and curtail purchases due to economic conditions
that are impacting performance broadly across our sector, particularly in the
Asia Pacific region. A delay in an intellectual property contract also
contributed to our reduced revenue expectation. In the quarter, we took actions
to further reduce our operating expenses. These measures will reduce 2012
operating expenses by approximately $10 million as compared to 2011."
