The company recently reported its third quarter results. Revenues were $66.1 million. "Better than anticipated results from our Micro-electronics customers drove our third quarter 2009 revenue to $66.1 million," said Henry R. Nothhaft, president and chief executive officer, Tessera. "Roughly 60% of DRAM sold today is in the DDR2 format. DDR3, also packaged in our patented chip-scale packaging technology, is expected to become the primary DRAM format by mid-2010. Due to improvements in speed and performance, it is anticipated DDR3 will remain the primary format through at least 2013. Tessera is well positioned to benefit from this transition and the long-term growth of the DRAM market, which we expect will drive growth in our Micro-electronics business. With respect to our Imaging & Optics business, we signed three new licensing agreements in the third quarter, for technologies ranging from our Wafer-level Packaging to Optical and Embedded Image Enhancement, and expect them to further drive our Imaging & Optics royalty revenue growth in 2010. We continue to expand our research and development resources that are focused on Wafer-level Camera and Silent Air Cooling."
