Earlier today, NPS released a written commentary on our results of operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. This document can be found on our website. Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone that in the course of today's presentation, we may make forward-looking statements and projections within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risk and uncertainties. The risk, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from these four looking statements are identified in the Safe Harbor Statements contained in the Q1 2026 Earnings Commentary and in our SEC filings, including our Form 10-K and Forms 10-Q, which can be found on our website. Our statements are made as of today, and we assume no obligation to update this information. Now, I would like to turn the call over to Tony.

Thanks, Arthur. Good afternoon and welcome to our Q1 2026 earnings call. In Q1, MPS achieved record quarterly revenue of $804 million, 7% higher than the fourth quarter of 2025 and 26% higher than the first quarter of 2025. Our quarterly performance was a result of our continued innovation, our consistent execution, and the resilience of our diversified market strategy. Let me call out a few highlights from the quarter. Our communications end market grew 33% sequentially on the strength of our power solutions for optical modules and switches. The pipeline for our automotive and enterprise data end markets, including server, continued to accelerate as we won multiple new projects across customers and regions. We sampled our first high-speed interface products for DDR5 at major customers, and MPS continued to grow our capacity past our original $4 billion plan with a new goal of reaching $6 billion in the near future. We continue to adjust to the fluid geopolitical and macroeconomic environment, but our diversified market strategy remains unchanged. MPS focuses on innovation and solving our customers' most challenging problems. We consistently invest in new technologies that open new end markets and applications and accelerate our transition from chips only to a full-service silicon-based solution provider. And finally, we continue to expand and diversify our global supply chain, allowing us to capture future growth opportunities, maintain supply stability, and rapidly adapt to market changes as they occur.
