Comments of Management

Shaike Orbach, Silicom's President and CEO, commented, "The third quarter was another profitable period with revenues in line with our guidance and positive cash flow. While still not reflected in our top line results, we believe that both of our strategic growth drivers – including Edge for SDWAN/NFV and networking-related FPGAs – are closer than ever to ramp-up. We expect both to increase their contribution to our top line in the year ahead, supporting significant growth in 2020 with further acceleration in 2021. We see that some of our customers are already beginning to ramp up deployment quantities, and others are finalizing their deployment plans for these markets. This process confirms the indications provided by market reports, which project significant growth for both markets in the coming years."

Mr. Orbach continued, "In fact, the Edge/SDWAN/NFV market is now growing in both the Telco space, the segment on which we focused initially, and the Enterprise space, which we believe, as demonstrated by the Design Win we announced earlier this week, will also become a significant  growth vector for us within this market. We also see an increased interest in LTE-supported SDWAN activity, a market in which we have strong positioning due to the heavy investments we have made in this technology.

"We are excited by all of these trends as they are in line with our positioning for our current customers and wins, confirming the soundness of our growth strategy. We believe that the ramp-up of our major Edge-related wins will finally begin during 2020, and that the FPGA-related wins secured during the past year will begin making a real contribution in 2020, followed by accelerated growth during 2021."

Mr. Orbach concluded, "We plan to continue and invest in both the Edge and the FPGA spaces, building more products and solutions, further deepening our pipeline and transforming opportunities currently in the pipeline into Design Wins. With superior products and technologies, Design Wins with larger and larger companies, significant loyal customers, a strong balance sheet and an excellent cash position, we are ideally positioned to benefit from the long-term development of the industry's strongest trends and remain strongly confident about our prospects."
