Positive Outlook

  • Second quarter non-GAAP operating expense to decline sequentially.

Challenges Ahead

  • Uncertainty in business due to the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Increased uncertainty in certain segments of the Enterprise market
  • Strategic insertion opportunities offsetting volume driven improvements in margin
  • Increased logistics and other supply chain-related costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Withdrawal of previously announced full-year 2020 commentary because we cannot predict the specific extent or duration of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our financial results
