Key Points
- Record first quarter revenue of $460 million, up 13% year-over-year, with record EPS of $1.84.
- Strong demand for flagship smartphone audio products, with expectations for multi-generational shipments providing long-term visibility.
- Expanding HPMS content in smartphones, including camera, battery, and power applications, with a strong pipeline of opportunities.
- New product developments, such as high-performance analog front-end for smart meters, targeting new markets with high gross margins.
- New capacity reservation and wafer supply agreement with GlobalFoundries secures dedicated capacity and pricing for 2027-2028.
- PC business expectations for fiscal year 2027 reduced due to constrained supply of key industry platforms, memory/component shortages, and OEM delays.
- Gross margin in Q1 declined sequentially due to previously anticipated pricing reductions, partially offset by cost reductions.
- Operating expenses increased sequentially and year-over-year due to higher employee-related costs and R&D investments.
- Inventory levels increased to 110 days, up sequentially, indicating potential overstocking.
- Android business is expected to continue shrinking as a fraction of overall income, limiting growth in that segment.
