Transcend Information has announced revenues of NT$2.25 billion (US$71.37 million) for April 2010, down 20.6% on month and 21.2% on year. The memory module house said its shipments to Europe were affected by the recent flight disruptions.
In line with the sequential revenue drop, Transcend's total shipments for the month decreased to 5.531 million units from 7.2 million in March.
Transcend said Europe accounts for about 33% of its total revenues. According to Transcend's last financial report, Europe contributed 25.5% of its revenues in the first half of 2009, 31.8% in 2008 and 34.5% in 2007.
Transcend expects May revenues to rebound, as prices for both DRAM and NAND flash chips remain stable and normal shipments to Europe have resumed, according to the company.
Of Transcend's April revenues, NAND flash products accounted for 59.1% and DRAM modules 22.7%. Strategic products such as digital photo frames and portable electronics devices made up the remainder.
Meanwhile, Power Quotient International (PQI) saw consolidated revenues for April 2010 slide 41% sequentially to NT$1.71 billion, mainly due to seasonal factors, according to the company. Sales ratio between NAND flash products and DRAM modules was 60:40 for the month.
