Nordic Semiconductor sees third quarter revenue exceeding previous guidance

(Oslo, 4 September 2020) Nordic Semiconductor has seen continued high demand over the summer and avoided any significant disruptions in production and logistics due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the company increases its revenue guidance for the third quarter 2020 to USD 112-118 million.

In the financial report for the second quarter and first half 2020 the company issued a revenue guidance range of USD 95-105 million for the third quarter, highlighting that the global COVID-19 measures still implied risks of supply chain disruptions, and a negative impact on consumer spending and product demand in the second half of the year.

-We continue to see positive demand trends, with increasing volume from tier-1 customers and OEM manufacturers. Our supply chain has proven to be very resilient to the logistics challenges that the pandemic has created, says CEO Svenn-Tore Larsen in Nordic Semiconductor.

As communicated in the second quarter report the company expects a gross margin level around 50%-51% for the third quarter 2020.

The order backlog development also indicates a strong outlook for the final quarter of the year. Nordic Semiconductor releases its interim financial report for the third quarter on 20 October 2020, which will include a more detailed review of operations, financials and guiding for the fourth quarter 2020.
