Operator : Welcome to MACOM's Third Fiscal Quarter 2026 Conference Call. This call is being recorded today, Thursday, August 6, 2026. [Operator Instructions] I will now turn the call to Ms. Stephen Ferranti, MACOM's Senior Vice President of Corporate Development and Investor Relations. Mr. Ferranti, please go ahead.
Stephen Ferranti : Thank you, Olivia. Good morning, and welcome to our call to discuss MACOM's financial results for the third fiscal quarter of 2026. I would like to remind everyone that our discussion today will contain forward-looking statements, which are subject to certain risks and uncertainties as defined in the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those discussed today. For a more detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could result in those differences, we refer you to MACOM's filings with the SEC. Management's statements during this call will also include a discussion of certain adjusted non-GAAP financial information. A reconciliation of GAAP to adjusted non-GAAP results are provided in the company's press release and related Form 8-K, which was filed with the SEC today. With that, I'll turn over the call to Steve Daly, President and CEO of MACOM.
Stephen Daly : Thank you, and good morning. I will begin today's call with a general company update. After that, Jack Kober, our Chief Financial Officer, will review our Q3 results for fiscal year 2026. When Jack is finished, I will provide revenue and earnings guidance for the fourth quarter of FY '26, and then we will be happy to take some questions. Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $342.2 million and adjusted EPS was $1.40 per diluted share. Demand for our products is strong across our three end markets, and our backlog continues to build. Our sequential financial performance improved across most key metrics in Q3, including gross and operating margins. Our Q3 book-to-bill ratio was a record 1.6:1, and orders booked and shipped within the quarter were 11% of total revenue. All three end markets had exceptional bookings with notable out-performance in the Data Center. Our record backlog reflects market strength as well as our progress that we are making to expand our product portfolio and better address our customer needs. We are pleased with the customer order trends. Our strategy of strengthening our core technologies and expanding our product portfolio around three central themes: highest power, highest frequency and highest data rate is proving to be effective. We believe the breadth in our technology and product portfolio, coupled with our unique manufacturing capabilities enable a strong and durable business model. MACOM is well positioned in three large markets, namely Data Center, Industrial and Defense and Telecom. In total, these markets contain thousands of potential customers with a combined SAM that we now estimate …
