Comments of Management "We are excited to report the strongest quarter and six-month period in our history, confirming that our business has reached an important inflection point," commented Mr. Shaike Orbach, Silicom's President & CEO. "The recognition that we have received for our technologies and performance-boosting solutions, coupled with the strong demand being created by today's booming Cloud and Cyber Security markets, is empowering us to build our business to a new level. "During the first quarter, this recognition helped us achieve our largest-ever Design Win. To date, we have made significant progress with this Design Win, recording revenues that surpassed the $10 million mark during the first six months of the year. We continue delivering products, the customer continues placing new orders, and we overcome more and more of the challenges that remain along the way. As such, we feel increasingly confident that we will soon reach a stable deployment status, leading to a run rate above $30 million per year. Equally exciting, the trusting relationship that has developed with this mega-customer is enabling us to identify expansion possibilities for both the current Design Win, and for new opportunities." Mr. Orbach continued, "In parallel, we continue to win significant opportunities with Cloud, Cyber Security and other clients – both new and existing customers - as demonstrated by our recent Design Wins for encryption hardware acceleration cards, bypass solutions and a proprietary front-loading compression module. As such, we believe that we are better positioned than ever to achieve growth in the quarters to come. With Cloud and Cyber Security tailwinds driving demand for our products, a crystal reputation and a growing pipeline of opportunities, we are moving ahead rapidly and building the Company to the next stage.
