Background on the Fusion-io Securities Class Litigation
The action charges Fusion-io and certain of its senior officers and directors with violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Fusion-io is a computer hardware and software systems company that designs and manufactures memory storage solutions using flash memory technology. Since Fusion-io’s initial public offering in 2011, a small number of what the company calls ‘strategic’ customers have accounted for a significant portion of the company’s revenues.

The complaint alleges that during the class period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding Fusion-io’s financial performance and future prospects. Specifically, defendants misrepresented to investors that Fusion-io was a market leader in large-scale flash memory applications and was not facing any competitive pressure or risk from the commoditization of flash memory products. Defendants also issued positive revenue guidance and misrepresented that Fusion-io was able to anticipate the demand from its strategic customers based on its years of experience as their flash memory supplier. As a result of defendants’ false statements and omissions, Fusion-io’s common stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the class period.

On October 23, 2013, after the market closed, the company revoked its prior revenue guidance and announced that its expected gross margin in 2014 would fall, indicating that the competitive pressures facing Fusion-io were more significant than previously represented. The company also announced the departure of its CFO and Chief Sales Officer. On this news, the price of Fusion-io common stock fell 24% from its closing price of $12.98 per share on October 23, 2013, to close at $9.82 per share on October 24, 2013, on unusually high trading volume.
