SEMICONDUCTOR ANNOUNCES
BUSINESS
UPDATE FOR THIRD QUARTER
HILLSBORO,
OR - September 13, 2006 - Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ: LSCC) today
announced its business update for the third quarter of 2006.
The
updated guidance is as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All
other
guidance remains unchanged.
No
conference call will be held in conjunction with this guidance update.
The
foregoing business update contains forward-looking statements. Lattice believes
the factors identified below in connection with each such statement could cause
actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.
Estimates
of future revenue are inherently uncertain due to the high percentage of
quarterly “turns” business, as well as such factors as pricing pressures,
competitive actions, the demand for our products, and our ability to supply
products to customers in a timely manner.
In
addition to the foregoing, other factors that may cause actual results to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements herein include the Securities
and
Exchange Commission’s informal inquiry and any resulting actions, the Company’s
dependencies on its silicon wafer suppliers, technological and product
development risks, and other risks that are described from time to time in
our
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not intend
to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence
of
unanticipated events.
