Consolidated revenue was US$116.96 million and consolidated net income was US$19.32 million. Basic and fully diluted after-tax earnings per share (“EPS”) were US$0.24 (NT$7.71) and US$0.24 (NT$7.68), respectively. These results compared to consolidated revenue US$151.04 million and consolidated net income of US$32.64 million, or US$0.41 (NT$12.38) and US$0.40 (NT$12.21) per basic and fully diluted share, in the year-ago quarter.

In US dollars, the third quarter of 2023 consolidated revenue increased 12.27% sequentially and was down 22.57% year-over-year.

The gross profit in the third quarter of 2023 was US$51.17 million, representing an increase of 11.74% from the previous quarter and a decrease of 25.15% compared to the same quarter of last year.

On August 30, 2023, Parade announced the availability of the PS8580/ PS8580V/ PS8581 PCIe5 32Gbps linear redriver/2×2 cross switch family. PS8580 and PS8580V integrate a quad-channel unidirectional linear redriver with a 2×2 cross switch while PS8581 features a linear redriver only. PS8580/PS8581 are designed for notebook/desktop PC, server/datacenter and industrial applications while PS8580V supports automotive AEC-Q100 grade 2 requirements. Multiple PS858x devices support x4, x8 or x16 bidirectional link. PS858x family is compliant with PCIe5 specification.

On October 18, 2023, Parade announced the availability of its new high-resolution, automotive-grade PS8627V DisplayPort™ to LVDS protocol converter. The PS8627V is used to convert a DisplayPort™ (DP) or eDP™ (Embedded DisplayPort) video transport stream to the LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) interface used by automotive-grade display panels or display assemblies. The PS8627V enables ultrawide display up to 7680×1260@60Hz with 30bpp color depth. The PS8627V features a DP/eDP input of up to 4 lanes and LVDS output of up to 6 ports. Enabling a native DP/eDP connection between an automotive Video Control Unit (VCU) and display assembly can simplify system design and lower implementation cost by eliminating the need for a SERDES (serializer-deserializer) for the audio/video transport channel.

Based on current business outlook, Parade is providing the following guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023:

  • Revenue: US$110.0 ~122.0 Million
  • Gross Margin: 43% ~47%
  • Operating Expense: US$30.0 ~33.0 Million

The financial figures detailed above for the third quarter of 2023 have been reviewed by independent accountants.
