The past six months or so have been tumultuous for OCZ Technology, a company
that analysts expected might sell itself after its founder and then-chief,
Ryan Petersen, abruptly left. Instead, OCZ hired a new CEO who vowed to
address credibility problems and turn things around, which unfortunately
entailed sacking 28 percent of its staff and dropping 150 product lines.
Where does OCZ stand today? In need of cash and running out of options.
Austin Craig, a contributing writer at SeekingAlpha, dissected comments OCZ
made at the Stifel Nicolaus Technology Conference earlier this month.
According to Craig, the CEO's tone was "was anything but upbeat" when
presenting OCZ's financial state.
"We tried to monetize as much inventory as we can in order to help fund the
company as long as we can," OCZ CEO Ralph Schmitt said at the conference. "I
think we have kind of run that close to the ground at this point. We clearly
need some infusion of capital at this point. We have been trying to wait on
doing something until after the financials are out in the market. It's not
clear to me that we are going to be able to do that. We have looked at
everything from strategic money, private equity, PIPES, converts, all the
things that you would normally look at. We want to keep the dilution factor
to our shareholders kind of minimal as possible."
Schmitt mentioned that OCZ has some assets that it could sell off to raise
money, including new production lines in Taiwan and a profitable power supply
division, which includes the PC Power & Cooling brand.
OCZ faces several challenges in the months ahead. There's an audit of the
company's finances that has yet to be completed, the need for more cash, and
a stockpile of inventory to deal with. According to Craig, OCZ's smartest
move is to "just clean up the books and get the company in presentable shape
in order to sell it." If that's the case, who's going to buy it?
簡單來說，可能會出售Power事業群
以及裁員28%比例的員工並調整產品線
看起來不是很樂觀的樣子
SSD不賺錢？
