Commenting on the results, Shaike Orbach, President and CEO, said, “We are pleased to report another quarter of sequential growth. In line with our work plan, during the quarter we added several new customers and expanded the range of products sold to several existing customers, both significant achievements in today’s uncertain market environment. We continue to see signs that the industry differentiates Silicom in terms of our technology, customization and service capabilities. In fact, we have recently reported a milestone order from one of the world’s three largest server manufacturers, an achievement which represents a third-party confirmation of our products, business platform and financial stability. We are proud of this vote of confidence and believe it will prove strategic to our long-term sales efforts.”

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Mr. Orbach concluded, “As we move into 2009, our visibility continues to be low due to the macro environment slowdown, and our results – together with those of the overall IT industry – may be impacted. In the face of this reality, our strategy is to continue executing a sound plan that has proven itself in the past, including the systematic and aggressive pursuit of sales; the provision of top-tier service; and continuous product innovation to meet the needs of a changing industry.”
