As Agere plotted its future course, the company appeared to have put to rest questions regarding its financial viability. Its future success depended largely on the accomplishments achieved in its client systems group, which accounted for an increasing percentage of its revenue. In 2002, 65 percent of Agere's revenue was derived from its client systems group. In 2003, the client systems group generated 72 percent of the company's revenue. In the years ahead, Agere hoped to produce sustained profitability, a goal whose achievement depended on the company's ability to maintain its market leadership.
