Material Changes and Operational Shifts
Management committed to discontinuing production at the Santa Clara facility, transferring operations to the partially owned dpiX facility in Colorado to utilize larger, more cost-effective capacity. This action is expected to eliminate approximately 45 positions at the Santa Clara facility over the next year. These activities are in addition to the previously announced closure of the London research and development facility.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
The production transfer is expected to be complete by the end of 2018. The restructuring is driven by integration efforts following an acquisition. The filing notes that the press release incorporated by reference contains the full financial results for the third quarter, but the 8-K text itself does not provide specific revenue or margin guidance beyond the restructuring cost estimates.
