Please go ahead. Good evening, and thank you for joining us today for Allegro's third quarter results for fiscal year 2021. I'm joined today by Allegro's president and chief executive officer, Ravi Big, and Allegro's chief financial officer, Paul Walsh. We'll review our quarterly financial performance and provide a summary of our outlook. Our earnings release and the accompanying financial tables are available on the investor relations page of our website.

Thank you, Katie, and good evening, everyone. We're pleased to report results well above expectations and a strong outlook for the March quarter. Demand momentum accelerated throughout fiscal Q3, resulting in $164.4 million of revenue, a record for our current business. Strong customer demand was driven in part by the end market recovery, particularly in automotive, coupled with customer restocking. Non-GAAP gross margin was up nearly 200 basis points sequentially, and non-GAAP operating income was up approximately 38% sequentially. Non-GAAP diluted EPS came in at 13 cents per share ahead of our guidance. All considered, it was a great start in our first full quarter as a public company. I'm also pleased to report that we remain on track with the strategic objectives we have outlined. In the coming quarter, we expect to continue to benefit from these efforts and from the strong end market tailwinds within the tightening supply chain. With record backlog in bookings, we have extended visibility into the first half of fiscal 22. With that in mind, fourth quarter revenue is anticipated to increase again sequentially to a new record for the business to $167 million, plus or minus $2 million. Non-GAAP gross margin for fiscal Q4 is also anticipated to move upwards to 50% to 51%. And non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.13 to $0.15. I'll now turn the call over to Paul Walsh for a detailed review of the financials. Paul?
