Adaptec Announces Third Quarter Financial Results; Revenues of $254 Million, Net Income of
$0.23 Per Share

BusinessWire, Tuesday, January 20, 1998 at 16:40

MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 20, 1998--Adaptec, Inc.
today reported financial results for its fiscal 1998 third quarter
which ended December 31, 1997. Revenues were $254 million, compared to
$252 million reported for the corresponding quarter of the prior
fiscal year. Net income before one-time charges was $37 million or
$0.38 per share while reported net income for the third quarter was
$27 million or $0.23 per share. The reported net income included
charges of $0.15 per share. This is t he result of a recent FASB
ruling which required an $0.07 per share charge while additional
provision for doubtful receivables and the write-off of previously
acquired technology totaled $0.08 per share.
Paul Hansen, Adaptec's CFO, said: "As we reported in a
preliminary earnings announcement on January 8th, revenues and
earnings for the quarter were below expectations. This can be
attributed in large part to a shortfall in the North American
distribution sales of our host adapter products for desktop
applications. In this channel, where our products are predominately
sold to VARs and integrators, we are increasing our emphasis on
marketing activities."
Grant Saviers, Adaptec's Chairman, President and CEO, said:
"There are many positives to report for the quarter as well. Our
unbroken string of consecutive profitable quarters was extended to 54.
Our OEM SCSI business was strong and we saw acceleration of our Ultra
II design wins. Our new products and technologies, the continuing
strength of SCSI, and our competitive design wins support our
confidence . Accordingly, as we announced today, our Board has
approved a stock repurchase program."
