GuruFocus Financial Strength Rank measures how strong a company’s financial situation is. It is based on these factors

1. The debt burden that the company has as measured by its Interest coverage (current year).
2. Debt to revenue ratio. The lower, the better
3. Altman Z-score.

A company ranks high with financial strength is likely to withstand any business slowdowns and recessions.

GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the company’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
••3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rank•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Business Description

OmniVision Technologies, Inc. designs, develops and markets semiconductor image sensor devices. The company's CameraChips image sensors use the complementary metal oxide semiconductor, or CMOS, fabrication process. Its CameraChip image sensors are predominantly single-chip CMOS solutions that integrate a number of distinct functions including image capturing, image processing, color processing and signal conversion and create fully processed images or video streams. The resulting image or video stream can be displayed either on digital equipment, such as a computer, or on analog equipment, such as a television. Manufacturers of products such as camera cell phones can use its CameraChip image sensors without the need to dedicate additional development resources for image sensor functionality or integration. The company's highly integrated CameraChip image sensors enable camera device manufacturers to build high quality camera products such as camera cell phones that are smaller, less complex, more reliable, lower cost and more power efficient than cameras using traditional charge-coupled devices, or CCDs. The company markets image-sensor products to customers who incorporate them in either digital or analog mass-market products. Digital mass-market products that currently incorporate its image-sensor products include camera cell phones, digital still and video cameras, personal computer camera applications and interactive video and digital toy cameras. Analog products that currently incorporate the company's image-sensor products include security and surveillance products and analog toy cameras, automotive products and medical imaging devices. The company sells its products worldwide directly to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, which include branded customers and contract manufacturers, and value added resellers, or VARs, and indirectly through distributors. The Mainstream Products department addresses the camera cell phone and digital still camera, or DSC, markets, and the Advanced Products department addresses the security and surveillance, toys and games, personal computers, interactive video, automotive and medical markets. Its main products, image-sensing devices by the name CameraChip image sensors, are used to capture images electronically and are used in a number of consumer and commercial mass-market applications.
