QuickLogic Announces Preliminary Q4 2011 Revenue

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – January 9, 2012 – QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), the lowest power programmable semiconductor solutions leader, today announced that it expects to report fourth quarter revenue of approximately $4.3 million. New product revenue was approximately $1.7 million while mature product revenue was approximately $2.6 million. “New product revenue was above the guidance given during the company’s third quarter earnings call. However, the revenue impact of lower bookings for our mature products, which we attribute to general economic conditions in our mature product markets, was greater than expected,” said Andy Pease, QuickLogic’s President and CEO. The Company will announce its final fiscal fourth quarter and year-end results and hold its scheduled earnings conference call on February 7, 2012.
