"The quarter continued our trend of strong sales as demand remained solid in all of our geographic regions and segments making this our seventh straight quarter of increasing revenue," said Per Loof KEMET’s Chief Executive Officer. "We accomplished another of our goals during this quarter by relisting on the New York Stock Exchange and thereby obtaining greater visibility of the company to both new and existing shareholders. The management team remains focused on the fundamentals that will continue to bring increased value to our shareholders."
