President and CEO, Diodes Incorporated

Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining us on today's conference call. As announced in our press release earlier today, we end 2025 with fourth quarter revenue growing 15% year-over-year, and 13% for the full year, which is the highest level of annual growth since 2021. Additionally, this quarter represents the fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth year-over-year, further highlighting the $0.06 design wing initiative and content expansion over the past year. We have continued to see demand improvement across our target market and geographies, with the most significant growth for the full year driven by a 25% increase in the computing market, primarily for AI server-related applications, as well as double-digit increase in our automotive and industrial end markets. Also during the quarter, we began to realize initial improvement in growth margin as product makes benefit from growth in the automotive market. which increased 6% sequentially and at 24% year-over-year. We also remain focused on increasing manufacturing efficiency and minimize under-loading costs over the next few quarters to further drive future margin expansion. As we look to the coming quarter, we anticipate extending our success by delivering above seasonal revenue results and our fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year growth. As we look back over this past year and the progress that has made, I want to take this opportunity to discuss my specific near-term financial target after having been in the role of President and CEO for the past two quarters. After reaching $1 billion in revenue in 2017, our next billion dollar goal is to reach $2.5 billion in revenue and $1 billion in gross profit, or 40% in gross margin. I want to emphasize that we remain committed to achieving these long-term goals. In order to help our investors track our progress toward these goals, today I'm introducing three-year interim financial targets, which include achieving $2 billion in annual revenue with approximately $700 million in gross profit or 35% plus in gross margin. This is equated to a revenue CAGR of 10.5% and a 15% CAGR on gross profit dollars. Most notable, when taking into account our improved cost structure, we are expecting to deliver over $4 in non-GAAP EPS, which equals to a 50% CAGR over that three-year period. This interim goal highlights the strong operating leverage in Dow's financial model and the ability to generate significant earnings, power, and cash flow on each incremental dollar of revenue growth. As mentioned earlier in my remarks, we continue to prioritize product mix improvements by focusing our sales effort and R&D dollars on our three key focus areas of automotive, industrial, and computing for AI-related server applications. Content expansion, design momentum, and a new product introduction will continue to be the cornerstones of our growth initiative, combined with increased manufacturing and cost efficiency to drive margin expansion. With that, let me now turn the call over to Brad to discuss our first quarter and the full year financial results, as well as our first quarter guidance in more detail.
