Quantum Corp. (NYSE:QTM), the leading global specialist in backup, recovery and archive, today announced that revenue for its fiscal second quarter (FQ2’08), ended Sept. 30, 2007, was $249 million. Although this was roughly flat with the same quarter last year (FQ2’07)*, the company increased its GAAP gross margin rate from 28.2 percent to 31.5 percent, reflecting its focus on pursuing higher margin sales over low-margin revenue opportunities.
The company reported a GAAP net loss of $20 million for FQ2’08, or 10 cents per share, compared to a $31 million net loss (16 cents per share) in FQ2’07.
