“The ’V’ shaped cyclical recovery in the technology markets we serve continued this quarter with strong top line performance across both groups and all regions,” said CEO Roy Vallee in a statement. He added that bookings remained strong which would indicate that supply has still not caught up with demand throughout the industry.
For the fiscal year, net income totaled $410.4 million, or $2.68 per share, versus a loss of $1.13 billion, or $7.49 per share last year. Revenue rose 18 percent to $19.16 billion from $16.23 billion last year.
In the first quarter, the company expects net income of 76 cents to 84 cents per share on revenue of $5.6 billion to $6.2 billion. On average, analysts are expecting net income of 80 cents per share on revenue of $5.22 billion.
