Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Jalyn Hoover, Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Communications. Please go ahead, ma'am.
Thank you, Michelle. Good morning, and thank you for joining us today to discuss Allegro's fiscal third quarter 2026 results. I'm joined today by Allegro's President and Chief Executive Officer, Mike Duke, and Allegra's Chief Financial Officer, Derek D'Antilio. They will provide highlights of our business, review our quarterly financial performance, and share our fourth quarter outlook. We will follow our prepared remarks for the Q&A session. Today's call includes remarks about future expectations, plans, and prospects, which are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on current expectations and assumptions as of today's date and are subject to risks and uncertainties, that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those anticipated or projected on today's call. The company assumes no obligation to update these statements, except as required by law. For discussion of these risks and uncertainties, please refer to today's press release and the risk factors contained in our periodic filings with the SEC. Additionally, we will refer to non-GAAP financial measures during today's call. Today's earnings press release, which is available on the investor relations page of our website at www.alegromicro.com, contains important information about our non-GAAP financial presentation and also includes reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. This call is also being webcast and a replay will be available in the events and presentation section of our IR page shortly. It is now my pleasure to turn the call over to Allegro's President and CEO, Mike Duke. Mike?
Thank you very much, Shalene, and good morning, and thank you all for joining our third quarter earnings conference call. We continue to see positive momentum across the business, once again achieving growth in bookings and backlog to multi-quarter highs and securing significant design wins in our strategic focus areas led by ADAS, XEV, and Data Center. This momentum has enabled us to deliver strong third quarter results with sales above the high end of our guidance range at $229 million and EPS above the midpoint of our guidance range at 15 cents. E-mobility led continued growth in third quarter automotive sales. Our automotive sales growth was once again fueled by Allegro content gains and the increased adoption of XEV and ADAS systems in cars. This momentum is reflected in our third quarter automotive design wins, where e-mobility led the quarter. In ADAS, we secured key wins for position sensors and motor drivers in electronic power steering systems. We also had several design wins for higher dollar content steer-by-wire systems with OEMs in North America, China, and Europe. In XEV, we won several designs with our current sensor ICs and onboard charging systems and high voltage traction inverters. In our industrial and other end markets, sales growth was again led by data center, establishing a new quarterly record at 10% of sales, up 31%. Sequentially, the rapid expansion of higher power AI servers continues to drive increased demand for our fan driver ICs, Additionally, our market-leading high-speed current sensors are ramping in data center power supply applications where we enable crucial improvements in efficiency and power density. We are pleased to report that current sensors were a growing contributor to data center sales growth. Looking ahead, we are also building another growth vector in the data center with our isolated gate driver ICs. We recently released our first isolated gate driver IC for silicon carbide transistors, and we are broadly sampling this new IC to market leaders in the data center power supply market. Our growing product portfolio and strong market pull were also evident in our industrial design wins, where data center continued to lead third quarter wins. Our motor drivers for cooling fans represent the majority of data center wins in the quarter, with current sensors also securing meaningful wins and driving future content gains. Sales for many of these new wins will ramp within calendar year 2026. To further capitalize on our industrial opportunities, we conducted a robotics roadshow in the U.S., Japan, and China. This focused customer activity confirmed new wins and pilot production ramps with market leaders in quadruped and humanoid robots. Our customer engagements validated our high content opportunity in robots, including up to 150 Allegro sensor ICs, and 50 of our power ICs in advanced humanoid robots. Let me now pivot to our focus on relentless innovation. During the quarter, we introduced an innovative current sensor that cuts power-related losses by up to 90%, enabling new levels of power density in XED and data center applications. This IC can measure up to 200 amperes of current in a very tiny form factor and is gaining broad customer interest while deepening our competitive advantage. For some perspective, the maximum current consumed by the average American household is 200 amperes, and our new sensor can measure 200 amps of current in a package form factor that is less than half the size of a postage stamp. As I mentioned earlier, we also expanded our power through isolated gate driver portfolio by releasing our first IC that drives a broad array of silicon carbide transistors. Our isolated gate driver ICs present a significant content uplift opportunity in automotive and industrial markets. We have sampled our new silicon carbide driver to a broad group of industrial customers, and we are also sampling market leaders in the XEV charger and inverter markets. We also attended CES this quarter. Robotics was the highlight of the show and a hot topic of conversation with our customers. We had dozens of customer meetings at the show, and it is clear that customers view our highly differentiated, market-leading TMR sensors as a key enabler for their next-generation platforms. Additionally, existing and new customers confirmed our belief that Allegro's unique motor driver ICs Allow them to make smaller, quieter, and more efficient electric motors in both automotive and industrial applications. In summary, we are seeing positive momentum across the business and continue to execute on our strategic priorities. We are excited to share more regarding our strategy, growth drivers, and target financial model at our upcoming Analyst Day in a couple of weeks. I'll now turn the call over to Derek to review the Q3 2026 financial results and provide our outlook for the quarter.
