Business Outlook
Gary Yu further commented, "For the fourth quarter of 2024, we expect revenue to be approximately $337 million, plus or minus 3 percent, representing a 3.7% sequential decrease at the mid-point, slightly better than typical seasonality. GAAP gross margin is expected to be 33.0 percent, plus or minus 1 percent. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which are GAAP operating expenses adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, are expected to be approximately 28.0 percent of revenue, plus or minus 1 percent. We expect net interest income to be approximately $2.5 million. Our income tax rate is expected to be 18.0 percent, plus or minus 3 percent, and shares used to calculate diluted EPS for the fourth quarter are anticipated to be approximately 46.7 million."
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $3.1 million, after tax, for previous acquisitions is not included in these non-GAAP estimates.
