"We continued to perform well in the first quarter, achieving record revenues for the second consecutive quarter, as design activity remained high and we were able to extend our FPD leadership by bringing more capacity to the market,β said Peter Kirlin, chief executive officer. βIC revenues were up year-over-year, but down sequentially due to seasonal softness. An uptick in operating expenses associated with ramping our two new facilities drove operating margins below fourth quarter levels. Below the operating line, a foreign exchange gain and other one-time effects resulted in earnings of $0.16 per share. We generated $30.8 million cash flow from operating activities, resulting in a cash position of $218.3 million. Despite potential short-term impact that may result from the coronavirus, we are optimistic that our long-term goals for 2020 are still on track. We continue to develop investment plans to drive further profitable growth across our operations.β
