Dialog Semiconductor Trading Statement
Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, 26 April 2006 – The announcement of Dialog Semiconductor Plc’s Quarter 1 2006 results is postponed for a short time to complete a review of Display Driver inventory. The likely result of this review is the write off of EUR 4.6m of such inventory and, as a result of a lack of visibility in short term profitability, a further write off of EUR 15.3m being the carrying value of deferred tax assets. The deferred tax asset write off will have no cash flow impact and associated net tax losses will still be available to offset future taxable profits.
Revenues for Quarter 1 2006 were EUR 27.7m (2005: EUR 18.6m). It is anticipated that 2006 full year results will now show an operating loss. However, significant contract wins in the period give confidence for a positive 2007.
