OK, a "quickie". Not the way I like things. I like to take my time and do it right. <g> Today's presentation included a financial model on slide #35. That slide had the following data: Current Target GMs 40% 50% R+D 12% 12% S+M 19% 15% G+A 8% 6% Op Mar 1% 17% They don't say how long it will take to get to the target model. I figure 6 quarters is reasonable, but don't have time to project a sliding scale model. I took Q3 (the latest numbers we have) and ran a spreadsheet with 7 columns. I didn't do anything fancy with diluted shares - just left them as for Q3. Column 1 = Actual Q3 Column 2 = Q3 with restated with the "current" figures from slide #35 Column 3 = Q3 revs with "target" numbers substituted. Columns 4-7 use the "target" numbers but with higher revenue assumptions. Note the dramatic bottom line changes!
