SAN JOSE - Sanmina-SCI on Thursday reported first-quarter revenues rose 9.5% to $3.25 billion, at the low end of previous company guidance, and the EMS firm announced yet another series of factory closures.

For the period ended Jan. 1, the company reported GAAP net income of $24.4 million, up 54.5% over last year. Operating income was up 29% to $59.6 million.

Sanmina-SCI said it will further reduce manufacturing capacity in high-cost regions and will take an additional $75 million restructuring charge on top of charges of $100 million announced last July. This was the 16th straight quarter Sanmina took charges for restructuring.

In a press release, chairman and chief executive Jure Sola said, "Revenues for the quarter were at the low end of our expectations as our customer end-markets experienced competitive pricing pressures and a sluggish business climate."

The company had record inventory turns of 12.3.

The firm guided for second-quarter revenue of $2.85 billion to $3.15 billion
