Cavium Networks reported Q3 sales of $67.7 million, a 5.4% sequential decrease from the $71.6 million reported for the second quarter of 2011 and an increase of 22.7% from the $55.2 million reported for the third quarter of last year. Net income for the third quarter of 2011, on a GAAP basis, was $6.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011, and a net income of $5.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share in the third quarter of last year.
Though revenues this quarter were in line with the updated financial outlook we provided in September, they were weaker than originally expected, in the enterprise market as well as recognized software services revenue. Sales into the enterprise market were affected by a larger than expected impact of a hub transition at one of our major customers as well as lower demand from other enterprise customers as they adjust their supply chain inventory due to the softer demand environment�?, said Syed Ali, President and CEO of Cavium. http://www.cavium.com
