Abstracts of the earnings call transcript:


Sehat Sutardja, CEO:

"Now moving to our storage end market. Q1 revenues declined about 1% sequentially and represented approximately 49% of our total revenues in the quarter. This was slightly better than our earlier forecast for a low- to mid-single-digit sequential decline. All of you are aware of the tragic events in Japan and the destructions to the supply chain resulting from it. This impacted Marvell as we saw an erosion in HDD demand from our existing customers at the end of our last quarter."
