“I am pleased with our strong results for the third fiscal quarter. Revenue was up 5.6 percent sequentially and non-GAAP earnings per share increased 14.4 percent. Revenue exceeded our outlook driven by strong demand from all our end-markets coupled with the excellent job our team did to secure supply. Solid execution, favorable mix and operating leverage contributed to our strong non-GAAP operating margin of 5.5 percent for the quarter,” stated Jure Sola, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “I am pleased with our continued operational and financial execution which further strengthens our value proposition to our customers and shareholders.”

“As we look to our fourth quarter we continue to see strong demand from our customers. Based on our fourth quarter outlook, we expect fiscal year 2022 revenue growth of approximately 14 percent,” concluded Sola.
