President and Chief Executive Officer, Diodes Incorporated

Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining us on today's conference call. As announced in our press release earlier today, revenue in the quarter increased 7% sequentially and 12% year-over-year, driven by strong demand across the general computing market, including for AI-related server applications, as well as data center and aging computing. Our global point of sales increased the strongest in Asia, followed by North America. Additionally, our channel inventory is at a healthy level, decreasing again this quarter in terms of dollars and weeks, with overall inventory dollar decreasing over 25% from peak levels. Even though the rate of recovery in the automotive and industrial market continues to be slower than expected, revenue increased both sequentially and year-over-year in both of these end markets. When coupled with the computing market growing the strongest along with the consumer also increasing sequentially, product mix unfavorably weighted on the gross margin during the quarter. Future margin expansion will be driven by ongoing improvement in the product mix as the pace of recovery accelerate in our higher margin automotive and industrial end markets, combined with increased new product introductions in all target markets, as well as improved loading across all manufacturing facilities. At the midpoint of fourth quarter guidance, we expect to achieve approximately 12% growth for the full year. Looking forward, we are gaining increasing confidence in broader demand improvement in the automotive and industrial market. DIOS is gaining increasing market share in the automotive market with new programs scheduled to launch early next year. Combined with increasing content in industrial applications like AI robotics, power management, medical, and factory automation. With that, let me now turn the call over to Brett to discuss our third quarter 2025 financial results, as well as our fourth quarter guidance in more detail.
