Despite the challenges of a softening macroeconomic environment for PCs, we continue to deliver best in class profitability on both operating and cash flow margins, demonstrating the robustness of our long-term business model driven by the transformation of our revenues to the mobile and wireless semiconductor end market. Given the long-term confidence we have in our business model, we are pleased to announce the Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of $500 million."

Marvell also authorized a program to repurchase up to $500 million of its outstanding common shares, depending on market conditions and other factors.
