Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was 29.8%, as compared to 28.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and 24.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

The Company ended the period with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $498.9 million, an increase of $102.2 million from the previous quarter.

“For the second consecutive quarter we achieved record revenues, which exceeded the high point of our guidance. This accomplishment underscores the best-in-class performance of our image sensor technology and the resultant demand,” stated Shaw Hong, chief executive officer of OmniVision Technologies, Inc. “With our recent announcement at the GSMA Mobile World Conference, we also delivered on our continuing commitment to drive industry-leading technology when we introduced our most advanced 8-megapixel image sensor built on our second-generation BSI technology, the OmniBSI-2™ architecture.”
