• Profitability improved materially: gross margin rose to 31.8% (up ~70 bps sequentially), GAAP net income was $15.0M versus a loss a year ago, and EBITDA expanded substantially year‑over‑year, demonstrating operating leverage.
• Management provided strong Q2 targets: revenue ~$435M ±3%, GAAP gross margin ~32.8% ±1%, and non‑GAAP adjusted EPS ~$0.60 ±$0.10, implying continued above‑seasonal sequential growth and ongoing progress toward the company’s 3‑year financial goals.
• Operationally, inventory days declined to ~157 days (from 187 a year ago) and Q1 CapEx was $31.9M (7.9% of revenue), but fab utilization improvements depend on multi‑year customer qualifications with normalization expected more fully in 2027–2028.
