Net loss for the quarter fell to $3.8 million, or five cents per share, from $8.9 million, or 14 cents per share, last quarter. It’s also lower than the net loss of $5.5 million, or 12 cents per share, DragonWave reported in the same quarter last year.
“As we look forward, we believe that we have the opportunity in Q4 to again have sequential revenue growth of up to 10 per cent,” DragonWave president and CEO Peter Allen said in a statement, adding the company has received first orders for a new product line which he said would help drive revenue and growth beyond the fourth quarter.
As of Nov. 30, the company had $29.5 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand, compared with $33.6 million at the end of the last quarter.
