Management Commentary:
Sterling Du, O2Micro’s Chairman and CEO, commented on the quarter, “O2 Micro continues to target fast growing markets with products that capitalize on our unique technological advantage in complex industrial, consumer and automotive applications with the world’s leading manufacturers. Importantly, the trend to integrate MOSFET transistors into these products should lead to higher ASPs and larger die sizes, driving revenue growth not only in 2022, but over the long term as well. We continue to focus on building shareholder value by implementing our strategic plan, leading edge research and development, and through both further penetration of existing customer and the expansion into new customers.”
