Third-quarter revenues were in line with company guidance in July of $1.9 billin to $2.2 billion.

Steve Delaney, chief executive, said in a press statement, "This quarter's results reflect the continued weakness we had previously highlighted from our largest communications and information technology end-market."

"Though our outlook for the December quarter is more moderate than what we would typically expect, I am very pleased with our new program wins, the customers we have added and the opportunities ahead of us. We expect these wins to improve our end-market diversification and to translate into revenue growth in 2006."
