DragonWave Updates Revenue Expectations for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2016
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, CANADA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/04/15 -- DragonWave Inc. (TSX: DWI)(NASDAQ: DRWI), a leading global supplier of packet microwave radio systems for mobile and access networks, announced today updated revenue expectations of approximately $27.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 ended August 31, 2015.
This updates previous guidance provided on July 8, 2015 that sequential quarterly revenue growth would be in the low end of the 30% to 60% range. The sequential quarterly revenue growth for Q2 is now expected to be approximately 4%. The variance from our July 8, 2015 outlook was primarily caused by two factors:
A small amount of the variance is due to a large deployment in India that was halted during Q2 as a result of a product issue. While the product issue has now been resolved, the deployment of our product by the affected customer continues to be suspended. DragonWave President and CEO Peter Allen said "Q2 has obviously been a very challenging quarter for DragonWave. We are developing the plan for moving forward and anticipate sharing that plan on our next regularly scheduled investors' call."
These updated revenue expectations are preliminary, have not been reviewed by DragonWave's external auditors, and are subject to completion of customary quarterly closing and internal and external review procedures, as well as our annual external audit. Revenue figures are in U.S. dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
