Thanks, Arthur. Good afternoon, and welcome to our Q2 2026 earnings call. In Q2, MPS achieved record quarterly revenue of $981 million, 22% higher than the first quarter of 2026 and 48% higher than the second quarter of 2025. Our performance was a result of our continued innovation, our consistent execution, and the resilience of our diversified market strategy. Let me take a moment to call out a few of the highlights from the quarter. All-in markets grew sequentially, with enterprise data growing 45% as we continue to see strong, broad-based ordering patterns. We extended our capacity goals significantly beyond $6 billion to support future revenue growth and our transformation into a full solution provider. We received initial orders for high-speed DDR5 memory components, which we expect to grow our SAM into next year.

We began sampling high-voltage AC to DC products for 800-volt data center architectures as we expand beyond our current AI and server core power solutions. Finally, in our automotive market so far this year, we have shipped products for over 1,500 new sockets as we increase our footprint in both ADAS as well as in other applications within the vehicle. Overall, while we continue to adjust for the fluid geopolitical and macroeconomic environment, 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 chip-only to a full-service silicon solution-based provider. Finally, we continuously 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.

Before moving to Q&A, I am also pleased to announce that our board of directors has authorized an additional $500 million for stock repurchases, increasing our total current authorization to $1 billion. Operator, you may now open the webinar for questions.

Operator

Ladies and gentlemen, to ask a question at this time, you will need to press star one one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question coming from the line of Rick Schafer with Oppenheimer. Your line is now open.

Rick SchaferAnalyst

Thank you, congrats on the big raise, you guys. I guess I don't have to ask about capacity, Tony. communications was up 80%. I think last quarter it was up about 50%, if memory serves. That's a pretty big step-up. I'm just curious, is that mostly transceiver power, or are you seeing meaningful contribution now from the other sockets, switch, DPU, SmartNIC? Has that kicked in? Is that helping drive that? Any color you can give on how the second half sets up. Does that momentum continue to grow into 3Q?

Michael HsingChairman of the Board, President and CEO

Hi, Rick. We see a lot of growth and a lot of demand, modules, chips, we see from multiple of our customers.

Michael HsingChairman of the Board, President and CEO

Tony, you want to have a detail?

Tony BalowVP of Finance

Yeah. I'll just add a little more color. Rick, you do see contribution from both optical module solutions as well as from what we've generally bucketed as switches. As I think as I'd mentioned previously, that's kind of a big bucket that would include power solutions for not only top-of-rack switches but TPUs, NIC cards, and other things in the rack. You're starting to see that grow as well. Optical's still the bigger portion, just because it's had a longer runway since last year, but you are seeing growth from both of those really driving the comms market.

Rick SchaferAnalyst

Okay. As my follow-up, I'm just curious. I believe you're shipping 48-volt vertical power modules to a couple of customers now, I don't know if you could update us on that. Do you expect to add any more this year? Maybe a sense of what your expectations are for 48-volt vertical power mods, in terms of maybe the mix versus VR this year.

Rick SchaferAnalyst

Next year, however you want to count it.

Michael HsingChairman of the Board, President and CEO

Thanks. It's more than a couple of customers, okay.

Michael HsingChairman of the Board, President and CEO

We see new customers who are coming online, okay, we start to ship.
