 Q2 2012 Financial Results in Line with Guidance, Growth 2H
Commenting on the results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012,
Ralph Quinsey, President and CEO, stated "TriQuint's second quarter
performance was in line with expectations. Mobile devices demand
was soft in the second quarter as the smartphone industry prepares for a
seasonally strong second half, and our Defense and Networks revenue was
slightly up year-to-date with a healthy outlook for the remainder of
the year. We believe TriQuint is well positioned for revenue
growth and improved financial performance in the second half of
2012." Read more.
