“We are off to a good start in 2011 with solid growth in revenue and net income.” Daqing Han, chairman and CEO of Telestone stated in the press release. “We saw several positive developments in the first quarter of 2011, which is normally seasonally slow for the telecommunications-equipment industry and also included the Chinese New Year holiday”

For the full-year 2011, Telestone said it expects revenues to increase by about 30 percent to approximately $171 million with full-year 2011 net income to increase by about 10 percent to approximately $27.5 million, or $2.22 per diluted share.

CEO Han said the company will move forward with a focus on operations and expansion of its customer base.

“Due to our shift in focus on operations and collections rather than pure growth in 2011, we are expecting to grow at a slower pace than 2010. However, we expect these measures to position us for accelerating growth in 2012 and beyond,” Han stated.
