... announced today that due to continued weakness in demand and order cancellations in the quarter, it is reducing its third quarter fiscal 2001 (June 2001) revenue forecast to approximately $60 million and its net income per share (pro forma) to a loss of approximately $0.06 per share. This loss excludes the amortization of goodwill and deferred compensation as well as anticipated restructuring and other charges expected to be recorded in the June quarter as further discussed below.

Lou Tomasetta, Vitesse President and CEO, commented, "Overall, business conditions continue to be weak and we have seen no improvement in visibility at a majority of our customers. Inventories in our customers' channels remain at high levels and the process of reducing excess inventories is taking much longer than anticipated.

...That's a huge deal in semi mfg, due to the high fixed costs. A big chunk of that shortfall will drop straight to the bottom line....

That sounds reasonable, except that XLNX is a fabless mfgr. OTOH, LLTC has its own fabs, but will not see a significant margin impact with a 20-30% sequential revenue decline. There is probably NO general rule.
