元器件交易网讯  5月23日消息，据外媒报道，迈威尔季度毛利率下滑，因其3G芯片需求超过4G LTE芯片销量的增长。

　　迈威尔股价在盘后交易下滑3%，尽管结果超过第一季度的预期。

　　首席财务官迈克尔在财报会议上称，“我们将更倾向于3G即使我们LTE芯片做的更好，我们毛利润略低于预期。”

　　截至5月3日，迈威尔第一季度毛利率从去年同期的54.3%缩减至48.4%。

　　公司表示，预计第二季度将调整到每股利润28美分，上涨或下滑2美分，收入在9.4亿-9.8亿美元之间。

　　根据汤森路透I/B/E/S分析师预测，每股平均利润26美分，营收为9.301亿美元。

　　加拿大皇家银行(RBCCapitalMarkets)分析师Earl Hege称，鉴于4G产能提升，迈威尔第二季度将有积极转变，这会带来毛利润的上涨。

　　公司将从中国数十亿美元推出的LTE 4G网络中受益，这会占迈威尔总收入的三分之一。

　　迈威尔公司第一季度的净利润增长至9950万美元，每股19美分，去年同期为5320万美元，每股11美分。收入增长了30%到9.578亿美元。

　　Marvell Technology Group Ltd's quarterly gross margin fell as demand for its chips used in third-generation mobile communication outweighed a rise in sales of its more profitable 4G LTE chips.

　　Marvell shares fell 3 percent in extended trading, despite the company's better-than-expected first-quarter results.

　　Smartphone sales growth is shifting away from North America to China where buyers favor handsets priced below $200 over top-notch devices such as Apple Inc's iPhone.

　　"Our mix was more skewed to 3G even though LTE did well and our margins came slightly below what was expected in the quarter," Chief Financial Officer Michael Rashkin said in a post-earnings conference call.

　　Marvell's gross margin shrunk to 48.4 percent for the first quarter ended May 3 from 54.3 percent a year earlier.

　　The company said it expects second-quarter adjusted profit of 28 cents per share, "plus or minus two cents," and revenue of $940 million-$980 million.

　　Analysts on average were expecting a profit of 26 cents per share on revenue of $930.1 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

　　"There should be a positive mix-shift in (the) July quarter, given the ramp up for 4G, which should result in gross margin uplift," said analyst Earl Hege with RBC Capital Markets.

　　The company has benefitted from the multi-billion-dollar rollout of long-term evolution (LTE) 4G networks in China, which accounts for a third of Marvell's total revenue.

　　Marvell's first-quarter net income rose to $99.5 million, or 19 cents per share, from $53.2 million, or 11 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding items, earnings were 27 cents per share.

　　Revenue jumped 30 percent to $957.8 million.

　　Analysts had expected a profit of 22 cents per share on revenue of $892.2 million.

　　Marvell shares closed at $15.59 on the Nasdaq on Wednesday.
