Revenues for the year 1996 were $183.8 million, down from $228.0 million in 1995. The Company recorded a net loss of $25.9 million or $1.33 per share loss for the year, compared with net income of $15.6 million or earnings per share of 78 cents in 1995.
Jay Swent, Cyrix chief financial officer and acting chief executive officer, said, "The strong fourth quarter revenue performance demonstrates that our 6x86 products are now widely accepted in the marketplace. We made significant financial progress during the quarter. Most notably, we strengthened our balance sheet and ended the quarter with more than $87 million in cash and investments. This is nearly double last year's balance and will help us to fund further growth and to better support our customers. We were disappointed in the 1996 financial results, but we are excited by the new product portfolio we have developed for 1997. We plan to return to profitability in 1997 despite the challenges of a dynamic marketplace."
