'I am confident that the competitive advantages created by this merger will yield meaningful results in the coming quarters'.
'GAAP net income for the quarter was 2 cents per share higher than our guidance, and our gross margin and operating expenses also were better than guidance', says Bryon Look, LSI Chief Financial Officer.
'Our balance sheet remained strong with a net cash position of $667 million'.
'The company generated operating cash flows of $56 million for the quarter'.
