The company saw significant growth in its eMMC and UFS controller sales, with a 40% to 45% increase Y/Y, and managed to maintain robust SSD controller sales. However, net income experienced a decline compared to the previous quarter.
Silicon Motion’s financial highlights for Q3 2024 include a gross margin of 46.7% and an operating margin of 11.5%. Earnings per diluted American Depositary Share (ADS) were reported at $0.62 on a GAAP basis.
