Even in FY23, the company’s sales were $4.54 billion, down by 13% year-over-year in constant currency terms, and put down the drop in sales to “the challenging macroeconomic environment and lower enterprise and consumer spending.”
Adjusted earnings declined to $0.50 per share in the fiscal fourth quarter versus $0.81 in the same period last year but beat consensus estimates of $0.42 per share.
Looking forward, the management continues to expect a fall in sales from 22% to 18% year-over-year (in the U.S. dollar terms) to be between $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion in the first half of FY24. Adjusted operating income is anticipated to be between $160 million and $190 million in H1 of FY24.
