VIA Technologies announced sales results for June. Just like we expected, June was another very tough month for the chipset designer and it cannot now celebrate major sales improvement.

VIA Technologies’ June revenues achieved $33.12 million, up 2.89% from May and still not beating April’s $49.9 million. The figure is also 25.15% lower compared to sales results for the same period last year. The company’s year-to-date revenue is $280.697 million, a 23.10% decrease compared to last year’s figure. Like always, no information about profits or gross margins was issued.

VIA Technologies does not comment on its business results publicly, so, we do not know what actually drives VIA’s sales down. Based on what we hear from mainboard makers, VIA’s KT600 and PT800 receive pretty wide adoption by the industry, however, the main problem here is that both chipsets are positioned for mainstream and value-mainstream personal computers and VIA cannot offer anything for higher-end PCs at this point.

We expect VIA’s revenue to start rising in July because of new products ramp up. Though, since currently VIA cannot ship any high-end products for Intel Pentium 4 platform and will have to face fierce competition with SiS and Intel in mainstream and value-mainstream segments, VIA’s profits and margins are under big question mark. We also should warn you that possible overall PC sales weakness can drive VIA’s and SiS’ sales down during summer.
