NEENAH, WI – Plexus reported fiscal first-quarter 2015 revenue of $664.7 million, up 24.5 year-over-year, and down 0.23% sequentially.
Net income for the period ended Jan. 3 was $23.1 million, up 30.7% compared to the fiscal first quarter of 2014, and down 12.7% sequentially.
Operating profit for the fiscal first quarter was $28.8 million, up 32.3% year-over-year, and down 9.1% sequentially.
"Fiscal first quarter revenues were $665 million, relatively flat from the prior quarter and up approximately 25% from the comparable quarter last year. Revenues were above our guidance due to stronger than anticipated end-market demand in our Networking/Communications sector," said Dean Foate, chairman, president and CEO.
"During the quarter, we won 32 new programs in our Manufacturing Solutions group. We anticipate these wins will generate approximately $190 million in annualized revenue when fully ramped into production. The wins performance this quarter results in a trailing four quarter total of approximately $801 million in annualized revenue, or approximately 32% of our trailing four quarter revenue, well above our goal of 25%."
The electronics manufacturer expects fiscal second-quarter 2015 revenue of $630 million to $660 million.
