Operator Greetings, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Jabil third quarter of fiscal year 2026 financial results conference call. At this time, all participants are on a listen-only mode. A question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone requires operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Adam Berry, Investor Relations. Thank you. Please go ahead. Adam Berry Good morning. Welcome to Jabil's third quarter fiscal 2026 conference call. Joining me on today's call are Chief Executive Officer, Mike Dastoor, and Chief Financial Officer, Greg Hebard. Please note that today's presentation is being live-streamed. During our prepared remarks, we will be referencing slides. To view these slides, please visit the investor relations section of jabil.com. After today's presentation concludes, a complete recording will be available on our website for playback. We will be making forward-looking statements during this presentation, including, among other things, those regarding the anticipated outlook for our business, such as our currently expected fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026 net revenue and earnings. These statements are based on current expectations, forecasts, and assumptions involving risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially. An extensive list of these risks and uncertainties are identified in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31st, 2025, on other filings with the SEC. Jabil disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. I'd now like to hand the call over to Greg. Greg Hebard Thank you, Adam. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining our call today. Before getting into the details, I want to take a moment on how the quarter came together. We feel very good about Q3. Demand remains strong, our teams executed well. We delivered ahead of expectations across revenue, margin, EPS, and free cash flow. Revenue upside in the quarter was broad-based across the portfolio. I'll walk through the segment details shortly. Just as important, margins were strong and free cash flow was robust, giving us good momentum as we move into Q4. For the third quarter, revenue was approximately $8.8 billion, up 12% year-over-year, and $250 million above the midpoint of our outlook. On a GAAP basis, operating income was $445 million, or 5.1% of revenue. Core operating income was $504 million, and core operating margin was 5.8%. GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $2.59. Core diluted earnings per share was $3.16, up 24% year-over-year. Turning now to segment performance in the third quarter. Regulated Industries revenue was $3.2 billion, up 4% year-over-year, above our outlook for the quarter. The upside was primarily driven by Automotive & Transportation, where demand was stronger than we expected. Core operating margin was 5.6%, up 10 basis points over the prior year. Intelligent Infrastructure revenue was $4.2 billion, up 21% year-over-year, reflecting continued strong demand and performance in line with our outlook for the quarter. Growth was broad-based across the segment. Capital equipment and cloud and data center infrastructure were both double digits, while networking and communications was up more than 50%, supported by a strong networking ramp in India. Overall, this continues to be a very strong growth business for Jabil. As we look from Q3 into Q4, we expect another meaningful step-up in revenue across all three end markets, supported by continued strength in AI-related programs and the timing of customer ramps. Core operating margin for the segment was 6.1%, up 80 basis points over prior year Q3. Connected Living and Digital Commerce revenue was $1.4 billion, up 5% year-over-year, above our outlook for the quarter. Relative to our Q3 outlook, the upside came largely from Connected Living, where consumer-related demand was better than the cautious assumptions we had embedded in the guide. Core operating margin for the segment was 4.9%. Turning now to cash flow and balance sheet metrics. Free cash flow was better than we expected in Q3, supported by strong profitability and continued discipline across the business. Cash flow from operations was $535 million. Net capital expenditures were $176 million, resulting in adjusted free cash flow of $359 million for the quarter. On working capital, inventory days were 84. Net of inventory deposits from customers, inventory days were approximately 68, which was above our normal targeted range of 55 days-60 days. The higher inventory was largely tied to the timing of customer shipments in Intelligent Infrastructure. We expect this to normalize back toward our targeted range in Q4. Given our performance through Q3 and the outlook for Q4, we now expect adjusted free cash flow of more than $1.4 billion for the full fiscal year, up from our prior outlook of more than $1.3 billion. Our balance sheet remains in excellent shape. We ended Q3 with $1.4 billion in cash and debt to core EBITDA of 1.3x. We remain fully committed to maintaining our investment-grade credit profile. During the quarter, we repurchased approximately $291 million of shares under our existing $1 billion share repurchase authorization, which we intend to fully complete in Q4. With that, I'll walk through our guidance for Q4 FY 2026. Starting with the segments, we expect Regulated Industries revenue of approximately $3.3 billion, up 6% year-over-year. This reflects continued stability in Healthcare & Packaging, ongoing improvement in Renewables, Automotive & Transportation performing better than we expected earlier in the year. For Intelligent Infrastructure, we expect revenue of approximately $4.9 billion, up about 32% year-over-year. This represents a meaningful sequential step-up from Q3, reflecting continued strength in AI-related programs, customer ramp timing, and the timing of shipments, as discussed earlier. In Connected Living and Digital Commerce, we expect revenue of approximately $1.4 billion, roughly flat year-over-year. Digital commerce growth remains healthy, while Connected Living continues to reflect a mixed consumer environment, although one that has performed better than our more cautious assumptions. At the enterprise level, we expect Q4 revenue to be in the range of $9.2 billion-$10 billion, or about 16% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. We expect core operating income to be in the range of $589 million-$649 million, which implies a core operating margin of approximately 6.4% at the midpoint. We expect core diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.80-$4.20. We expect fourth quarter net interest expense to be approximately $80 million, and our core tax rate remains approximately 21%. Taken together, this would represent a strong finish to the year, with continued revenue growth, margin expansion, and free cash flow generation. For fiscal 2026, we now expect revenue of approximately $35 billion, core operating margin of approximately 5.8%, core diluted earnings per share of approximately $12.70, and adjusted free cash flow of more than $1.4 billion. Let me close by saying Q3 delivered strong results and gives us greater confidence as we enter the final quarter of fiscal 2026. Our performance this quarter highlights the strength of our diversified portfolio, the momentum in Intelligent Infrastructure, and the disciplined execution of our teams around the world. As we move through Q4 and look ahead to fiscal 2027, our priorities remain clear and consistent: profitable growth, margin expansion, capital efficiency, and sustained cash generation. With that, I'll turn the call over to Mike, who will share more on fiscal 2026 outlook and how we're thinking about the setup into fiscal 2027. Mike Dastoor Thanks, Greg, and good morning, everyone. I'd like to begin today's call by thanking our teams around the world for delivering another strong quarter. Achieving 12% year-over-year growth on business of our scale requires tremendous focus, coordination, and execution across our global operations, customer partnerships, and supply chain network. I want to thank all of our employees for their contributions and commitment to delivering these outcomes. At the enterprise level, we delivered ahead of our expectations across all of our key metrics, including revenue, margin, EPS, and free cash flow. AI infrastructure demand remained extremely strong, and our full-year AI-related revenue outlook is now meaningfully higher than what we laid out just 90 days ago. At the same time, we continue to see better than expected performances in areas of the portfolio that have previously been under pressure, including automotive and transportation and Connected Living and Digital Commerce. Over the past several years, we have worked hard to build a diversified model, one which relies on many large end markets. We still believe that's the right model for our business today. The diversified model not only provides important synergies such as supply chain purchasing power and engineering, which is leveraged across end markets. More importantly, we believe it also allows for more sustainable financial performance over longer periods of time, providing a natural hedge in different economic cycles. With that as a backdrop, let me now walk through fiscal 2026 by end market. Starting with Intelligent Infrastructure, we continue to feel very good about the business. We now expect AI-related revenue to be approximately $13.6 billion in fiscal 2026. That is $500 million higher than our March outlook of $13.1 billion and up from $9 billion in fiscal 2025. This represents $4.6 billion of AI-related growth this year or about 50% year-over-year. This level of growth reflects strong customer demand, quality execution from our team, and the capabilities we have built across compute, storage, networking, optics, power, cooling, and rack level integration. We also took an important step forward in Q3 by winning our third hyperscale customer. Based on what we see today, we would expect the revenue ramp with this customer to look a lot like what we saw in our second hyperscaler, where we started with a specific capability, executed well, and then expanded the conversation across the data center. That is an important part of the model. We can enter where we have a capability the customer needs, deliver with quality, and then expand as the relationship deepens. Importantly, this remains an attractive asset-light model for Jabil, as evidenced by our CapEx expectations of 1.5%-2%. We're expanding capacity in a disciplined way, tied to visible customer demand while avoiding the product ownership and IP risk that can come with more OEM-like models. Not only do I like the large revenue growth opportunities before us, I continue to like the return profile of the business, including strong free cash flows. Moving to Regulated Industries where the tone continues to get better. Auto was stronger than expected in the quarter. We now expect Auto revenue of approximately $4.4 billion in fiscal 2026, compared to a March outlook of $4.2 billion. Despite coming in stronger than anticipated, we remain cautious on the Automotive market given continued demand volatility. That said, stronger export demand from China, industry consolidation, and growth in powertrain-agnostic platforms enabled us to exceed our prior outlook. Renewables also continue to improve. We're seeing support from safe harbor projects, demand for power tied to AI and data center infrastructure, and a shift from residential towards commercial projects. The tone is better than it was earlier in the year. In Healthcare, our long-term view of the opportunity has not changed. The product cycles are long, the margin profile is attractive, and the outsourcing of opportunity is still relatively immature. We continue to see good opportunities around drug delivery, med devices, and broader pharma capabilities. In Connected Living and Digital Commerce, we also saw better performance in the quarter. In Connected Living, the environment remains mixed. Performance was better than the cautious assumptions we had embedded in our outlook, driven primarily by connected devices. We now expect Connected Living revenue of approximately $2.7 billion in fiscal 2026, up $300 million from our March outlook. We expect Digital Commerce revenue of approximately $2.7 billion, up $100 million from our March outlook. Digital Commerce remains one of our higher margin end markets with good opportunities in automation, robotics, retail, and warehouse technology. Putting all of that together, we are raising our fiscal 2026 outlook. We now expect revenue of approximately $35 billion, up from our March outlook of $34 billion. That represents growth of roughly 17% year-over-year. We also now expect an improvement in core operating margin of 10 basis points to approximately 5.8%, core EPS of approximately $12.70, and adjusted free cash flow of more than $1.4 billion, up from a prior outlook of more than $1.3 billion. For me, it is important to recognize that the model is working, as a result, the business is rapidly growing. Margins are moving higher, and free cash flow expectations also are improving. When I look beyond fiscal 2026, I am extremely confident in Jabil's strategic position, the strength of our customer relationships, and our ability to capture the significant opportunities ahead. While we will provide full year guidance for FY 2027 in our Annual Virtual Investor Briefing in September, I thought it might be helpful to provide an early view of our AI-related revenue growth. As I mentioned earlier, in FY 2026, we anticipate our AI-related revenue will be approximately $13.6 billion. We are exiting the year with a stronger platform for growth, strong customer engagements, and new capacity coming online in North Carolina, Memphis, India, and other parts of the footprint. For all these reasons, I expect AI-related revenue growth in FY 2027 in percentage terms to be similar to FY 2026. What makes that especially impressive is that we expect to sustain this growth rate off a much larger revenue base. At the enterprise level, there are still a few things that will shape how the full year comes together between now and September. That includes component availability, mix across the portfolio, and the choices we make as we continue to prioritize margins, customer ramp timing, free cash flow, and returns. As these items firm up, they will help determine where the full year ultimately lands. The combination of strong AI growth, improving mix, and continued discipline around free cash flows and returns gives me confidence that Jabil can move core operating margin above 6% in fiscal 2027. Before we wrap up, one incremental opportunity I want to highlight is the AI infrastructure initiative we announced earlier this week with Adani Enterprises. While it is still early days, Adani Enterprises and Jabil are targeting a strategic alliance to build an AI data center infrastructure platform in India. This alliance will focus on multi-gigawatt manufacturing capacity for high-density AI racks and associated computing infrastructure. The platform is expected to manufacture next-gen liquid-cooled AI racks, servers, storage systems, networking equipment, and supporting infrastructure equipment required inside modern AI data centers, including power distribution units, transformers, switchgear, and thermal management systems used by hyperscalers, co-location providers, and enterprise data center customers. Importantly, the opportunity represents the potential to help establish a scaled AI infrastructure manufacturing platform in India, a market we believe will become increasingly important for both domestic and global AI infrastructure demand. There is still work to be done before a definitive framework is established, we view this as a longer-term opportunity. If the partnership develops as we anticipate, fiscal 2028 is the more realistic starting point for meaningful contributions. In closing, we remain focused on executing our diversified strategy, investing in the right growth areas, and creating long-term value for our customers and shareholders. Thank you for your continued support, we look forward to updating you on our progress in the quarters ahead. With that, Operator, we're ready for questions. Operator Thank you. The floor is now open for questions. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad at this time. A confirmation tone will indicate that your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up the handset before pressing the star keys. Again, that's star one to register a question at this time. Today's first question is coming from Ruplu Bhattacharya of Bank of America. Please go ahead. Ruplu Bhattacharya Hi, thanks for taking my questions. Mike, with today's guidance raise, you would have had two years of strong AI revenue growth. Like you said, the base is higher now for AI revenues. A lot of companies are building GPU racks. What gives Jabil the right to win in this space? You talked about the third hyperscaler, you talked about the announcement with Adani Enterprises in India. How big a revenue driver could these be for Jabil? I have a follow-up. Mike Dastoor Thanks, Ruplu. I feel our AI demand continues to be extremely strong. I think the holistic strategy that the team's focused on, where we sort of enable our customers to scale AI much faster by delivering fully integrated systems across compute, storage, networking, power, advanced cooling. We often sort of go in through one channel or one capability, expand the relationship by offering other end-to-end sort of solutions to customers. We actually won our second hyperscaler in exactly that way, we actually just won our third hyperscaler, the strategy will be exactly the same. Going really well from a strategy standpoint. In my prepared remarks, I talked about having a similar growth rate. You highlighted that, Ruplu, it's on a much, much higher revenue base. All three end markets are contributing to this. If you think of capital equipment, test obviously is a high performer there. With all the rapid evolution of chip technology, the test equipment demand is through the roof. I think WFE is making a little bit of a comeback, although we'll always be a little bit prudent because WFE historically has always moved to the right a little bit. There is definitely signs of a recovery in WFE right now. If you look at DCI, our cloud infrastructure business, we're opening up new capacity in North Carolina. We're talking about Memphis, India, other parts of the footprint. We recently made the Hanley acquisition. That's bearing fruit as well, and don't forget that's at a higher margin. Last but not least, networking. We've got the whole InfiniBand and Ethernet demands going up, especially in India. We've sort of almost doubled our revenue over the last year in India there, partly because of this networking demand. The silicon photonics, we continue to play in that as well. Overall, very strong demand, very good strategy from Jabil, and you're seeing that in the numbers, you're seeing that in the results. A similar growth rate on such a large revenue base is quite impressive. As it relates to the India opportunity, before I say anything, I just want to say that we do not have a definitive framework in place yet. We're still working on it, so can't comment on financials or structure or anything like that. Having said that, I am really excited about this opportunity. If you think of a few things that stand out for me, we're talking about multi-gigawatt AI infrastructure manufacturing in India. We're talking about the world's highest population, and particularly with a government that's helping push Make in India as a global manufacturing hub, and taking it a step further to make for the world as well. Really well-aligned there. If you think of the offering that we're providing, it's a one-stop shop, which would sort of appeal to hyperscalers and data center providers, with Adani being one of the largest conglomerates in India, very strong in infrastructure, providing power, and Jabil providing all the manufacturing expertise, which has been proved out in the U.S. We're talking of racks, we're talking of next-gen liquid cool racks, we're talking of servers, we're talking of storage systems and networking equipment. You layer on the supporting infrastructure that we're building today in the U.S. as well in terms of switchgear, transformers, power distribution units, thermal management systems. All of that comes into play. The opportunity is quite significant going forward. Again, I do want to highlight that this is an FY 2028 event. Obviously, the main gating factor here would be building out this capacity, because this will require a decent chunk of capacity. The opportunity and the potential could be huge. Ruplu Bhattacharya Okay. Thanks for all the details there, Mike. Since we're talking about capacity, maybe I have a follow-up for Greg. You've been adding capacity. Does Jabil now have enough capacity to support the strong AI and data center revenue growth that you're projecting for FY 2027? Can you help investors understand how much revenue can the existing footprint support, which areas would the company plan to invest in? And how does this impact free cash flow going forward? Thanks for all the details. Greg Hebard Good morning, Ruplu. As Mike mentioned just now, also in his prepared remarks, when we look at AI revenue in FY 2027, we're going to see similar growth levels and percentage turns to 2026, also off a larger base. From a capacity perspective, we're real confident we could have that revenue in place from a footprint perspective. Globally, we're adding an incremental 10% on our footprint. New buildings, new locations, and also expansions. We feel really good of the footprint being there to support that capacity. From a CapEx perspective and free cash flow, we have not given any kind of guide for next year yet, but we feel really good on continuing to stay within that 1.5%-2% on total CapEx, even with the footprint expansion that we're seeing in the coming year. Ruplu Bhattacharya Okay. Thanks for all the details. Operator Thank you. Our next question is coming from Steven Fox of Fox Advisors. Please go ahead. Steven Fox Hi. Good morning, everyone. Just following up on a couple of those things. I was wondering if you can dial in a little bit more into the networking growth. Obviously, it's substantial here. How does that look into next year off of the guidance for AI revenues? And where is it coming from? Then I had a follow-up. Thanks. Mike Dastoor The networking growth, we've already grown quite a bit in 2026. I think that growth continues in 2027, Steve. I think the InfiniBand, the Ethernet demand, all the switchgear that we're building in India, the silicon photonics piece coming together nicely. There's a whole bunch of positives in that networking space, and I think the demand for that networking will be similar or better next year to 2026. Steven Fox That's helpful. Then just as a follow-up, can you talk a little bit more, Mike, about margins for next year? I know you don't want to get too specific, but I would imagine the margins you're posting now still include some inefficiencies from plants you're ramping up. When do we start to see you guys fully harvest the new capacity at efficient rates as you're adding sales? When can we sort of see better incrementals? Thanks very much. Mike Dastoor You're absolutely spot on with the capacity coming through in stages. We don't turn on all our capacity on 1st of September. It will phase in through the balance of this calendar year, and I expect a lot of the capacity to be on board by early calendar year next year. You're right, there's definitely some level of ramp impact. Having said that, I feel really confident about 6%+ margins, and I do add the plus after the 6%. I think if you look at what's driving some of that, the mix is getting better. Some of the end markets that we've had a little sort of lack of recovery in the past those are coming together nicely, like Automotive, Renewables, Healthcare is Steady Eddie. Even within Intelligent Infrastructure, the higher value capabilities like power, liquid cooling, silicon photonics, they're all getting accretion in margin in that Intelligent Infrastructure segment itself. Then you add on the operating leverage. You talked about capacity utilization getting better as we progress through 2027, and then Hanley, where we made the acquisition a few months ago, it's at double digit margins. All of that coming together very nicely from a margin standpoint. I think the point you made about ramps is important to keep in mind, though. Like I said, my expectations are on a 6%+ margin for FY 2027. Steven Fox Great. That's very helpful. Thank you very much. Operator Thank you. Our next question is coming from Samik Chatterjee of JPMorgan. Please go ahead. Speaker 12 Hi. Thank you for taking my question. This is MP on for Samik Chatterjee. My first question is regarding your Intelligent Infrastructure guide. You have implied an acceleration in year-over-year growth relative to fiscal 3Q, then it's also higher than your implied guidance, which you had given previously. Just wanted you to double-click on whether this upside relative to prior expectations is driven entirely by the new hyperscaler customer. And then also any color on what capabilities you are currently ramping on with the new hyperscaler customer? I have a follow-up. Thank you. Mike Dastoor Just for clarification, your question is about FY 2026 or the growth rate for FY 2027? Speaker 12 Fiscal 4Q, your Intelligent Infrastructure implied. Mike Dastoor Okay. All right. I think Greg mentioned something in his prepared remarks around timing, where we had some finished goods in the warehouse still at the end of Q3. Those will start flowing in in Q4. I think there's about a couple hundred million from Q3 extending into Q4, and then an incremental $300 million across the board. It's not just related to the third hyperscaler, it's demand across the board in racks. I think Memphis is doing really well. There's $500 million upside in the Intelligent Infrastructure guide for FY 2026, and it's spread out a little bit. Really happy to see that. Speaker 12 Got it. Thank you. Then, for your fiscal 2027 guide, you have said that AI growth continues at the similar percentage level, and also we are seeing acceleration in growth relative to your other end markets. Will it be a fair assumption to say that overall fiscal 2027 revenue growth should be at least in line with fiscal 2026 or higher than that? Thank you. Mike Dastoor Look, I think we'll provide full year guidance in September. My AI revenue sort of highlight was more to give the street a little bit of idea of what's going on in our AI piece. There's puts and takes on the other side of the business. Some end markets obviously are performing better. We'll continue to look at margins obviously. We'll continue to look at any pruning that we have to do. I wouldn't start expanding revenue on an incremental basis to what I've already said on the AI revenue. That was more an indication of comfortability in terms of the AI revenue growth rates. We will provide guidance, like I said, in September, and I expect it to be a nice number. Let's have some caution in I want to make sure that we don't get carried away with the numbers there. Speaker 12 Thank you, Mike. Operator Thank you. The next question is coming from Mark Delaney of Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead. Mark Delaney Yes, good morning. Thank you very much for taking my questions. I'm hoping you can share more color on what led to the win at the third hyperscaler and any product capability in particular where Jabil has had initial success? Mike Dastoor It's across the data center infrastructure space. Look, it's very similar to how we did the second hyperscaler. The second hyperscaler was in a different capability, and then we expanded way beyond that capability into all the other capabilities. I would see this as a starting point. The third hyperscaler, I expect it to be in that couple of 100 million range for 2027, rapidly expanding to billion dollar and then beyond in 2028. Definitely a good sign. We've been working on this for a while, and it's finally come through in our Q3. Mark Delaney Okay. Thanks for that. In terms of the supply chain considerations for the 50% growth in AI-related revenue for next year, you already spoke a bit around your manufacturing and CapEx plans to support that, but could you speak a little bit more on the supply chain, including labor and parts supply? Given that some companies in the industry have run into parts and component shortages, maybe help investors to better understand to what extent there's any conservatism from a supply chain standpoint factored into that outlook for 50% growth next year? Thanks. Mike Dastoor Right. No, so it's a really good point, Mark. I think we always appropriately ensure that we factor in all these supply chain issues. There is a high demand for High Bandwidth Memory, as everyone's aware. High-end, high-density interconnect PCBs are in high demand. Lead times have been extending. One good thing is obviously, the hyperscalers and our large customers get more than their fair share of some of these components. I think the DDR5 capacity is decent on that front, but the DDR4s and below, I think there will be some level of shortages, and we try our best to obviously factor in those delays. I think the key here on supply chain is our team is extremely focused, and I'll put our team up against anyone externally. I think if you look at the conversations are changing. It's not transactional. It's not about pricing. It's about strategy. It's about access. It's about allocation, long-term commitments. Overall, I feel really good that our team is approaching this in absolutely the right way. By the way, they've proved it out over the last three, four, five years, if you include COVID in all of this. I think the team performed much better than many of the other teams. Mark Delaney Thank you. Operator Thank you. The next question is coming from Ruben Roy of Stifel. Please go ahead. Sahej Singh Guys, this is Sahej Singh line for Ruben Roy. Greg Hebard Hi. Sahej Singh Hi, it's me. Greg Hebard Yeah, go ahead. Sahej Singh Q exits at around— Greg Hebard You're breaking up. Sahej Singh Can you hear me okay now? Greg Hebard We can hear you now, you broke up before that. Sahej Singh I was just saying 4Q exits at around 6.4% core margin. FY 2027 is being framed above 6%, can you help us reconcile that? Is that just early conservatism, there genuine near-term margin drag from the onboarding of the third customer, new capacity startup costs, and sort of just the ramp before it all scales? What's the path back toward that 7% and higher? Greg Hebard Typically, Q4 is our highest margin quarter. Last year, we were at 63%. We're going to beat it by 10 basis points for this Q4 at 64%. Overall feel really good about 58%. As Mike mentioned, we're going to be 6%+ for next year. Still a little bit early to talk about the shape of next year, again, feel good about continuing to improve on gross margins and getting leverage in SG&A to get 6%+ and higher from there. Mike Dastoor The Q4 seasonality is quite common. If you go back over the last two or three years, you'll see the same level of seasonality with Q4 being the highest-performing margin quarter. Sahej Singh Understood. Maybe just on the Adani piece of what you mentioned, I guess without getting into financials, can you just help us understand the capital model? A multi-gigawatt build sounds pretty capital intensive, yet you're committed to sort of the 1.5%-2% CapEx. Are you thinking of structuring that as a JV, or is that partner-funded? How are you going to participate in those economics while keeping Jabil asset light and avoiding the IP ownership risk that you've been careful to avoid up until now? Mike Dastoor I just want to start again by saying, look, we do not have a definitive framework, so we haven't figured out structure and capital and all that. Having said that, I feel really good. If you look our growth in everything that we're going to do with the Adani Group as well, it's manufacturing racks, it's manufacturing servers, it's manufacturing storage, next-gen liquid-cooled racks, power distribution, transport. We've been doing that for the last three, four years now. Our CapEx has been proved out already. This is no different. It's just the scale will be enormous. I still feel comfortable with 1.5%-2%. Don't forget, our manufacturing business is relatively asset-light in nature. That's the beauty of the model that we have today. You can eat your cake and have it too there as well. I think I feel really good about our CapEx ability once we get going on this venture. Sahej Singh Okay, helpful. Thank you, Mike. Thank you, Greg. Operator Thank you. Our next question is coming from Melissa Fairbanks of Raymond James. Please go ahead. Melissa Fairbanks Hey, guys. Thanks so much. Just wanted to start off by saying for Graham and Frank, congratulations on the first-round win. I hope to see the Tartan Army down in Miami. I am not sure if they are listening to the call. I was wondering, we have got a really strong guide for Intelligent Infrastructure, not surprising. Can you give us an update on the North Carolina facility? When can we expect revenue to start flowing through from that facility? Then I believe you also have first right of refusal of the parcel of land next door. Just wondering how we can think about that in terms of capacity expansion going forward? Mike Dastoor Sure. Thanks, Melissa. I am sure Frank and Graham will appreciate your comments. You are probably still hungover from Saturday. Melissa Fairbanks Probably. Mike Dastoor Look, our North Carolina facility, it remains on track. I think we'd given a timeline of Q1, Q4, the end of this year, fiscal year. Nothing's changed on that front. We booked one customer. We're talking to others. I think if you think about it, January would be probably the date by which we'd be fully ramped. Obviously, we'll have some level of steady ramps through the first quarter of 2027. January onwards, I would expect run rates to be in that $1 billion, $2 billion, $3 billion range over the next one, two, and three years. I think overall, the potential is still the same. No major changes to our North Carolina piece. One of the things with the additional land next door, we're looking at facilities which are easier to get to, as in readily available. We might have capacity coming online, which is already built out as opposed to going through another 12, 18 months of build-out. It's just a slight sort of variation of our initial thought pattern in North Carolina, everything else remains exactly the same. Melissa Fairbanks Okay, great. Maybe shifting gears, looking at Regulated Industries, we'll give someone else a chance to shine. Glad to see the auto business is moving a tick higher for the year. I think the downtick in healthcare is maybe a little surprising. Wondering if you could give us some more color there? Mike Dastoor I wouldn't put too much into that. Don't forget, we took it down by $100 million. Our daily shipments add up to $125 million-$130 million. The number of the amount is not as material. It was just $100 million. With rounding, it was even lower than that. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Our long-term view of Healthcare has not changed at all. The product cycle's extremely long, extremely sticky margin profile, highly attractive. Outsourcing in this industry is still relatively immature, and we continue to see good opportunities around. If you think of GLP-1s, you think of drug delivery, you think of continuous glucose monitors, med devices, chronic disease management. All of that is still well within our control. I think FY 2027 should show some level of growth at the end. Don't forget, we'll have Croatia come online right at the end of FY 2027. It's not going to be an FY 2027 event, but it'll be coming online at the end of FY 2027, which means it will be an FY 2028 event. We continue to look at D2V and capability-driven M&A and more vertical integration. I think Healthcare continues to be right at the center of our strategy going forward as well. Melissa Fairbanks Okay, great. Thanks so much for the detail. Thanks, guys. That's all for me. Operator Thank you. Our next question is coming from Luke Young of Baird. Please go ahead. Luke Young Good morning. Thanks for taking the questions. Mike, hoping just to start with the preliminary 2027 AI view and hoping just to get a little color from a customer standpoint in terms of incremental contributions from your largest customer versus the second and third hyperscalers or maybe even seeing some more materiality from Neoclouds in this guidance as well? Thank you. Mike Dastoor It's spread out across the board, Luke. I think the numbers are well diversified. Obviously, our largest customer plays a role in that. The second hyperscaler will play a role in that. I talked about the third hyperscaler. Initially in FY 2027, the numbers won't be that material, but FY 2028 will get to a material number. It's really well spread out. capital equipment is doing well. If you look at DCI, that's doing well with all the new capacity coming online, and then networking. It's almost like a really well-diversified portfolio within Intelligent Infrastructure that's outperforming. Luke Young Understood. Can we maybe flip that to the capacity view? Certainly, North Carolina, part of this into fiscal 2027, but can we talk about where you're able to push on capacity in some of the other key facilities, be it India, be it Memphis, kind of some of the big chunks to support with obviously several billion dollars in growth in total? Mike Dastoor Yeah. No. North Carolina obviously will play a part there. Like I said, we book one customer. We're looking at multiple others. We'll provide more guidance on that in September. Memphis is coming along nicely. I think if you look at the LV/MV switchgear that we have there, the in-row heat exchangers building out in Memphis, they're going well. We're doing the second hyperscaler in Mexico. We've got networking going on right now, expansion going on in India. It's all spread out, and the capacity utilization will quickly come online very fast. Again, I think I'm glad Mark had asked that question about ramps. There will be some level of ramps that take place. You don't trigger five, six facilities up all on the same day. They don't start performing from day one. It will take some level of time. Q1 of 2027, we will be in a little bit of a ramp situation. From the 1st January onwards of the calendar year 2027, I do expect that capacity to come online in a substantial way. In all sorts of different products, different customers, and in a really well-diversified manner. Luke Young Really helpful. Thank you. Operator Thank you. Our next question is coming from David Vogt of UBS. Please go ahead. David Vogt Great. Thanks, guys, for squeezing me in here. I've got two questions for Mike and Greg. Maybe, Mike, starting with you, when we think about the soft commentary around fiscal 2027, particularly around AI and your margin, how much of that commentary is guided by your view of supply chain component availability and what your customers are seeing? How is that taken into consideration from a margin perspective? Obviously, I would assume that you're building in a buffer there. I'll give you my second question at the same time, maybe for you as well, and maybe Greg could chime in. When I think about the third hyperscaler, I think you mentioned a couple hundred million dollars of revenue in fiscal 2027. How should we square that with sort of the North Carolina facility coming online next year? Are you insinuating that we're gonna have multiple customers in that facility, or is it just going to be that one customer? How do we think about how that capacity is gonna be allocated among your hyperscaler customers going forward? Thank you. Mike Dastoor Just the commentary around 2027 AI growth, how much of that is colored by supply? Yeah, no, it's similar growth rate percentage on a much, much higher revenue base. It's a substantially bigger number in revenue dollar terms. I wouldn't call it soft, but overall, it wasn't meant to provide guidance. I didn't want to hijack our September call. We will have a Virtual Investor Briefing in September. We will provide more guidance, more definitive guidance then. Supply chain absolutely is part of our thinking. We're aware of where the shortages are. Obviously, any commentary that we provide for 2027 will have some level of impact, but that will already be built in. The numbers we talked about definitely have that built in. Like I said, a lot of the AI Intelligent Infrastructure customers do manage to get their fair share and then some off components. Look, it's an issue, but I don't lose that much sleep over it from the Intelligent Infrastructure standpoint. I think as we go along over the next three or four months, and we actually have our long-term strategy sessions in this Q4 as well, which go out a couple of years. We'll provide more guidance in September. David Vogt Great. On the third hyperscaler ramp versus the North Carolina capacity coming online, how do we think about that's going to be allocated to your hyperscaler portfolio? Mike Dastoor The third hyperscaler, like I said, is in the data center infrastructure space. We booked one customer in North Carolina. We're still trying to figure out where exactly the third hyperscaler would go. It might be North Carolina, it might be somewhere else, that's a good problem to have. Like we said, there's capacity coming online in multiple jurisdictions, multiple factories, multiple buildings coming online. I do think third hyperscaler is ready to go. It's just a matter of us trying to figure out exactly where to put it. David Vogt Where to put it. Perfect. Thanks, Mike. Operator Thank you. The next question is coming from Tim Long of Barclays. Please go ahead. Tim Long Thank you. Two, if I could here. I think you guys mentioned Hanley as going well. If you could just give us an update there kind of on both the power side and the more services side. How that's ramping and developing internally into a better business for you guys? Second, if you could just touch on the storage business. I'm not sure if you mentioned it that much, but curious how that's going. I think that's been a pretty good ramp. If you could just kind of update us on how that's going this year and the outlook into next year. Thank you. Mike Dastoor Sure. I think just as a reminder, Hanley expands our capabilities in both modular power distribution, energy systems, and then there's a service angle to that as well. It's higher margin business. I think from a revenue standpoint, it's actually going better than we'd anticipated during our acquisition. The level of interest the acquisition has generated is extremely positive. I think, again, we were expanding capability offerings and going into one channel and expanding our capability offering in other channels, and Hanley is part of that solution as well. All going really well. If you think of some of the areas that we can expand into with modular power solutions, I think data center power architecture. I talked about services. That services is a critical part of the offering. Not only do we help deploy the gear in the data center, we help maintain it, we help service it. That's a recurring revenue stream as well. Hanley overall going really well. The second hyperscaler, I think you mentioned storage. That's going really well. I think some of that is reflected in our guide for, well, we call it guide, but our indication for FY 2027. I think when we started on that second hyperscaler journey a couple of years ago, none of us imagined it to be as critical and as big as it's turned out to be. Tim Long Okay. Thank you. Operator Thank you. This brings us to the end of today's question and answer session. I would like to turn the floor back over to Mr. Berry for closing comments. Adam Berry Thank you very much for joining. This concludes our call. If you need further clarification, please reach out to us. Thank you. Operator Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's event. You may disconnect your lines or log off the webcast at this time, and enjoy the rest of your day.
