“Our strong Q4 performance contributed to a solid first year as an independent company,” said Ron Nersesian, Keysight president and CEO. “Our team’s operational discipline drove excellent earnings results in Q4 and throughout the year, while we completed the separation and closed our first major acquisition with Anite. We have also established a consistent track record of meeting our guidance commitments over the past several quarters.”
“Looking forward, our recently announced organizational structure is the next step in driving increased focus on customer solutions and accelerating our growth initiatives in 2016,” added Nersesian. “While we maintain our expectations for market growth of 2 percent in 2016, recent macro data has tempered our expectations for the first half of the year.”
