Commenting on the results, Shaike Orbach, President and CEO, said, “We are pleased to report Silicom’s highest revenues in six quarters, a testament to the sales momentum of our new lines of storage/server/security networking products and the success of the Design Win sales model. Our groundwork of the last two years, during which we recorded a growing number of design wins and established a number of marketing partnerships, is now starting to pay off with larger repeat orders, the major portion of our revenue growth. Part of our success is due to our penetration of the security appliance market, a fast-growing niche with a critical need for our products’ bypass capabilities.

Mr. Orbach concluded, “Overall, the results of the quarter confirm our strategic direction, the need for our products, and our ability to execute on all levels. Looking forward, we believe that sales of our new lines of storage/server/security networking products will continue to build, and that both current and new design wins will continue to be the engine driving our future sales. We are on track according to our plans and excited by opportunities ahead.”
