Genus Maintains 2003 Earnings Guidance SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Genus Inc. announced today that it maintains its earlier 2003 guidance for both revenues and bookings with revenues expected to be in the $50 million to $60 million range and bookings expected to be in the $45 million to $60 million range. However, in light of several delays and push outs in orders previously expected in the fourth quarter, 2003, full year bookings (including purchase orders and letters of intent) are expected to be at the lower end of the range. Genus expects to announce financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2003 in early February and will provide financial guidance for 2004 at that time.
