Guidance: $90M - $110M Revenue for 2012
That call was such a disaster. I continue to like PANL as a long term buy but these calls continue to make me question that feeling.
Dorkheimer on again with another question on guidance. Is a significant portion of the $90-$110 in revenue based on non-Sammy customers entering the market?
I think PANL answered "no", but it was difficult to hear.
For a company that just went profitable,..... that was the worst job in a conference call I've heard,.... those guys should be taken out back for an @$$kicking by shareholders.
For 2011, lighting was between 1% and 1.5% of PANL business.
In 2011 PANL sold some light blue emitter materials and some yellow. Short discussion of the use of yellow in a white stack, but it was difficult to hear.
Finally a firm answer. They expect both LG and Samsung will use their materials.
LOL, this call and the stonewalling is causing this stock to sink singlehandedly. These guys sound unprepared. I'm really disappointed in this call.
$90-$110M in revenue, less $60-$64M in op expense results in $30-$50M in op income, or approximately $0.66 - $1.11 in EPS, I think. Adjustments for interest income/expense and taxes should be minimal if it's similar to 2011.
Careful, these are just my back of the envelope calcs...
The numbers are fine. The call is terrible. All this digging around guidance is what happens when you fail to give investors any details.
Slacker
What do you think this will be trading at tomorrow?
This is a bad call. He's really pussing out on answering for guidance.
I kind of agree. There's not a whole lot in the conf call to get extremely excited about.
im listening now, panl in the black
2012 operating expense likely to be similar to 4Q11, perhaps up 10-15%.
Awesome news! This should rock tomorrow!
