Violin Memory develops and supplies memory-based storage systems. The actions allege that, throughout the Class Period, defendants misrepresented and failed to disclose that, at the time of the IPO, Violin Memory's sales had already been adversely affected by the looming 2013 U.S. government shutdown. The U.S. government is a large indirect customer of the Company. Moreover, the Company's sales and research and development expenses had substantially grown during the third quarter of fiscal 2014, diminishing profit margins at the time of the IPO. On November 21, 2013, the Company announced disappointing results for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, with a net loss of $0.85 per share, and sales of $28.3 million, significantly below analysts' expectations. The same day, during an earnings conference call, defendants disclosed that, prior to the IPO, some of the Company's forecasted sales were canceled and others deferred pending federal government budgetary negotiations, and that Violin Memory had incurred increased sales and marketing costs during the third quarter of 2014. On this news, Violin Memory's stock price fell $2.89 per share, or over 48%, to close at $3.11 on November 22, 2013.
