Comments of Management

Mr. Shaike Orbach, Silicom’s President and CEO, commented, “We are very pleased to report our best-ever quarter so far, with a record $27.5 million in revenues boosting our full-year revenues and operating profit to new levels as well. Our rising sales demonstrate our continued success in our traditional networking appliance markets as well as in our ‘hot’ new target markets, including those driven by the Cloud Computing, SDN, NFV, IoT, Virtualization and other trends. They also demonstrate our success in bringing our customers much-needed products, whether through our ‘internal’ development or through acquisitions. With many of these trends in their infancy, and with closer relationships than ever with our strategic customers and suppliers, we believe we are positioned for further growth in the year ahead.”

Mr. Orbach continued, “During the quarter, we were pleased to complete the accretive acquisition of ADI Engineering, an expert in Intel-based platforms that operates in the Cloud/SDN/NFV and CPE markets. In addition, we were gratified to receive two new Coleto Creek design wins from cyber security leaders, demonstrating the growing momentum of our ‘on-top-of-Intel” hardware and software solutions and the strong growth potential of our large customer base.

“In short, the future looks promising for Silicom. We are performing well in a broad cross-section of market sectors, with our sales driven by growing market trends and needs. The acquisitions that we have made are boosting our technology edge, helping us extend our penetration of the cloud while expanding our addressable markets. In parallel, our ever-deepening relationships with key clients gives us unique insight into their true needs, positioning us as enabling partners for their growth. We believe this is a formula for continued success and growth.”
