“The slowing of the world-wide economy has significantly impacted our business. Visibility into the future demand for our products has also deteriorated,” said Dr. Sehat Sutardja, Marvell Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our customers continue to believe in the long-term strength of our product portfolio and our financial position remains strong as we manage through the current economic weakness. There is a great deal of uncertainty in the current demand environment and as a result we are taking steps to ensure the long-term health and profitability of Marvell.”
