C-Cube revenue and earnings estimate for Q3.

These are just my thoughts......................

exchange2000.com

Revenues:

VCD 3.3M units worth between $33M and $36M, depending on product mix.

DVD has run at or below $3M for 3 straight Qs. Finally a pick-up: $5m to $6M

Divicom's sales were about $36M last Q, $41M in Q3.(includes $2M worth of C-Cube encoders that I don't count in Encoder Chips.)

Settops were $9M, and should be close to $12M this Q, with SkyperfecTV ramping up, Canal + always does well in Q3, and the build to the Holiday season.

Encoders were about $4.5M last Q. With the new single chips, ASPs have and will continue to drop. Let's just call it $4.5M in Q3.

Total sales for Q3 = at least $95.5M. Take out $2M for reserves and C-Cube should report over $93.5M, 13% sequential growth. Potential areas that may do better are VCD, DVD, and encoders.

Now to get to EPS:

Revenue $93.5M

COG 42M( 55% gross margins, down from 55.5%)

Gross 51.5M

R&D 19.1M

SG&A 14.5M

op income 17.9M

other .6M

Before tax $18.5M

taxes 5.6M (30%)

Net income $12.9M

Share count......................

39.7M shares = $.325 per share. Hit all of the high numbers it could be $.36 EPS, but I don't think so. VCD is uncertain. If you would have ask me last January, I would have expected more than 4M units in Q3.
