Dan Boehle: We project net sales for Q3 2026 to be in the range of $1.10 billion to $1.14 billion, and non-GAAP earnings to be in the range of $1.21 to $1.27 per diluted share. These estimates exclude any contribution or impact from pending acquisitions. In addition, considering the current demand dynamics reflected in our H1 results and Q3 guidance, we believe that the net sales growth should continue with a sequential uptick in Q4. Consequently, we now expect full year 2026 sales of approximately $4.4 billion and non-GAAP earnings to approach $5 per diluted share. These full year 2026 projections also exclude any contribution or impact from pending acquisitions. The Q3 2026 non-GAAP diluted EPS forecast is based on a diluted share count of approximately 107.7 million shares, which includes the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and other stock awards.

Speaker #1: And non-gap earnings to be in the range of $1.21 to $1.27 per diluted share. These estimates exclude any contribution or impact from pending acquisitions.

Speaker #1: In addition, considering the current demand dynamics reflected in our first half results and Q3 guidance, we believe that the net sales growth should continue with a sequential uptick in the fourth quarter.

Speaker #1: Consequently, we now expect full year 2026 sales of approximately $4.4 billion. And non-gap earnings to approach $5 per diluted share. These full year 2026 projections also exclude any contribution or impact from pending acquisitions.

Speaker #1: The Q3 2026 non-GAAP diluted EPS forecast is based on a diluted share count of approximately 107.7 million shares, which includes the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and other stock awards.

Speaker #1: We expect SG&A expense to be approximately 7% of net sales in the Q3. And R&D expenditures to be approximately 1% of net sales. We expect interest expense of approximately 11.3 million interest income of approximately 2.5 million and realized foreign exchange and other non-operating expenses of approximately $5 million.

Dan Boehle: We expect SG&A expense to be approximately 7% of net sales in Q3 and R&D expenditures to be approximately 1% of net sales. We expect interest expense of approximately $11.3 million, interest income of approximately $2.5 million, and realized foreign exchange and other non-operating expenses of approximately $5 million. We estimate our effective tax rate to be between 13% and 17%. Further, we expect depreciation expense of approximately $33.5 million, amortization of intangibles of approximately $9.2 million, stock-based compensation expense of approximately $18.8 million, and non-cash interest expense of approximately $0.7 million. Finally, I'd like to announce that we will be participating in the Jefferies Semiconductor Conference in Chicago on 26 August, the Jefferies Industrials Conference in New York on 9 September, and the B. Riley TMT Conference in New York on 10 September.

Speaker #1: We estimate our effective tax rate to be between 13% and 17%. Further, we expect depreciation expense of approximately $33.5 million, amortization of intangibles of approximately $9.2 million, stock-based compensation expense of approximately $18.8 million, and non-cash interest expense of approximately $0.7 million.

Speaker #1: And finally, I'd like to announce that we will be participating in the Jefferies Semiconductor Conference in Chicago on August 26th. The Jefferies Industrial Conference in New York on September 9th.

Speaker #1: And the B. Reilly TMT Conference in New York on September 10th. That concludes our prepared remarks. So I'll turn it back to you, Dustin, for the Q&A session.

Dan Boehle: That concludes our prepared remarks, so I'll turn it back to you, Dustin, for the Q&A session.

Speaker #2: Thank you. If you'd like to ask a question, please press star and the number 1 on your telephone keypad to raise your hand and enter the queue.

Operator: Thank you. If you'd like to ask a question, please press star 1 on your telephone keypad to raise your hand and enter the queue. If you'd like to withdraw your question or your question has been answered, please press star 1 again. We will pause for just a moment to compile the roster. We will take our first question from the line of Jim Ricchiuti from Needham & Company. Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: If you'd like to adjourn a question or your question has been answered, please press star 1 again. We will pause for just a moment to compile the roster.

Speaker #2: And we will take our first question from the line of Jim Vacuti from Needham & Company. Please go ahead.

Speaker #3: Thank you. Good afternoon. First question: I wonder if you could talk a little bit about the impact you may be assuming on revenues and margins from the N plus N scale-up in Q3.

Jim Ricchiuti: Thank you. Good afternoon. First question, I wonder if you could talk a little bit about the impact you may be assuming on revenues and margins from the N+N scale-up in Q3. If you can't provide specific numbers to it, I wonder if you could just speak about the impact qualitatively.

Speaker #3: If you can't provide specific numbers to it, I wonder if you could just speak about the impact qualitatively.

Speaker #1: Yeah, hi Jim. And yeah, thank you for being on the call. Happy to start this answer and then hand it over to Dan first of all, yes, the second half of the year is of course a very big thing for us.

Edwin Roks: Yeah. Hi, Jim. Yeah, thank you for being on the call. Happy to start this answer and then hand it over to Dan. First of all, yes, the H2 is of course, a very big thing for us. As you know, the asymmetrical PCBs, the N+N will kick in. The good thing, Jim, is that we already delivered about tens of millions, and yields are looking really well. Again, we have to do another about $600 million of that technology, which is a really nice technology. That will help us in our margins, assuming that the SLs stay all the same. This is the thing to look forward to.

Speaker #1: It will, as you know, the asymmetrical PCBs, the N plus N will kick in. So the good thing, Jim, is that we already delivered about tens of millions and yields are looking really, really well.

Speaker #1: By the way, again, we have to do another about 600 million of that technology, which is a really nice technology. So that will help us in our margins.

Speaker #1: Assuming that the rest will stay all the same. So this is a thing to look forward to.

Speaker #3: And so Jim, just to give a little bit more color, so Edwin just mentioned $600 million in the second half. About a third of that's in Q3, and then two-thirds in Q4.

Dan Boehle: Jim, just to give a little bit more color. Edwin just mentioned $600 million in H2, about a third of that's in Q3, and two-thirds in Q4. You see that ramp as we ramp production and improve yields as well in Q4. The margin will kind of improve as well as those yields improve. I won't quantify exactly what it will have. It depends upon how quickly we come up that yield curve. But it will improve the margins in both Q3 and Q4.

Speaker #3: So you see that as we ramp production and then improve yields, margin will kind of improve as well as those yields improve.

Speaker #3: So it will I won't quantify exactly what it will have. It depends upon how quickly we come up those that yield curve. But it will improve the margins in both the Q3 and Q4.

Speaker #1: Yeah. And of course, Jim, this is all built in in our guidance for Q3. And since we guided also sort of for the year, you also had the Q4 numbers, correct?

Edwin Roks: Yeah. Of course, Jim, this is all building in our guidance for Q3. Since we guided also sort of for the year, you also have the Q4 numbers correct.

Speaker #3: Yeah, we'll talk about margins. That's our adjusted EBITDA margins.

Dan Boehle: Yeah. When we talk about margins, that's our adjusted EBITDA margins.

Speaker #2: Right, okay. I wonder if you could talk to the number of 10% customers you may have had in the quarter. I know the Q is it was just filed.

Jim Ricchiuti: Right. Okay. I wonder if you could talk to the number of 10% customers you may have had in the quarter. I know the Q, it was just filed. I'm not sure if you disclosed it there, but I wonder if you can help on that score in terms of defense and presumably the data center area.

Speaker #2: I'm not sure if you disclosed it there, but I wonder if you can help on that score in terms of defense and the presumably the data center area.

Speaker #1: Sure, sure, sure. Jim, I'm always happy that, let's say, these 10% customers, which we disclosed in our 10-Q and 10-K, are likely distributed over the two reporting segments.

Edwin Roks: Sure. Jim, I'm always happy that let's say these 10% customers, which we disclose in our 10-Q and 10-K, are nicely distributed over the two reporting segments. One is, let's say, in our commercial businesses, and one is in our Aerospace & Defense businesses. I must say, in the commercial business, it's getting a bit crowded. There is another one which is getting very close to a 10% customer. We're in a pretty good spot. It's good to have 10% customers. It's also good to have a good distribution of customers. As you know, the hyperscalers and the networking guys, we have about 10 plus of big companies in that field. Of course, you're very much aware on the defense side who our customers are, and that's also a nice balance.

Speaker #1: So one is, let's say, in our commercial businesses, and one is in our aerospace and defense businesses. And I must say, on on the commercial business, it's getting a bit crowded.

Speaker #1: So there is another one which is getting very close to the 10% customers. So we're in a pretty good spot. It's good to have 10% customers.

Speaker #1: It's also good to have a good distribution of customers. As you know, the hyperscalers and the networking guys we have about 10 plus of big companies in that field.

Speaker #1: And of course, you're very much aware on the defense side, who our customers are. And that's also a nice balance. So again, on one hand, happy with these big guys, the 10% customers.

Edwin Roks: Again, on one hand, happy with these big guys, the 10% customers, nicely balanced over the two important segments, but also very happy with having these tens of customers nicely distributed.

Speaker #1: Nicely balanced over the two reporting segments. But also very happy with having these tens of customers like nicely distributed.

Speaker #2: Got it. One quick question, and I'll jump back in the queue. It sounds like you're making progress in Penang. Are you pivoting now to producing product for the data center market from this facility?

Jim Ricchiuti: Got it. One quick question, I'll jump back in the queue. It sounds like you're making progress in Penang. Are you pivoting now to producing product for the data center market from this facility?

Speaker #1: Yes, yes, yes. I'm extremely happy about Penang, by the way. Penang is doing exactly what we told you guys half a year ago. It's we're getting to very decent revenue levels.

Edwin Roks: Yes. I'm extremely happy about Penang, by the way. Penang is doing exactly what we told you guys half a year ago. We're getting to very decent revenue levels. Very close to, let's say, a break-even number, which we hope to get, let's say Late Q3, Q4, I think we are exactly on track. As I mentioned to you before, we are looking at the yields of some very important lead vehicles for our anchor customers. These anchor customers are still the same. We added even a few. They are very happy. Most of that business in Penang, Jim, is related to our MI&I business.

Speaker #1: We are very close to, let's say, a break-even number, which we hope to get, let's say, late Q3 or Q4. I think we're exactly on track. As I mentioned to you before, we are looking at the yields of some very important lead vehicles for our anchor customers.

Speaker #1: These anchor customers are still the same. Added even a few. So they are very happy. Most of that business in Penang Jim is related to our MI&I business.

Speaker #1: But also, if I talk about N plus M, which is one of the most difficult technologies we have in the company, I'm so happy that Penang is also doing N plus M.

Edwin Roks: Also, if I talk about M plus M, which is one of the most difficult technologies we have in the company, I'm so happy that Penang is also doing M plus M, and indeed supporting some of our data center and networking customers. A good mix. Still mostly MI&I, medical instrumentation industrial, but also some of the data center guys.

Speaker #1: And indeed, supporting some of our data center networking customers. So a good mix still mostly MI&I, medical instrumentation industrial, but also some of the data center guys.

Speaker #2: Got it. Thank you. Congrats on the quarter, by the way.

Jim Ricchiuti: Got it. Thank you. Congrats on the quarter, by the way.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Thank you, Jim. I was expecting that remark. Thank you.

Edwin Roks: Thank you. Thank you, Jim. I was expecting that remark. Thank you.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Before we proceed, I'd like to kindly ask everyone to please limit yourselves to one question and one follow-up. Thank you very much.

Operator: Thank you. Before we proceed, we'd like to kindly ask everyone to please limit yourself to one question and one follow-up. Thank you very much. We will take our next question from Steven Fox of Fox Advisors. Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: And we will take our next question from Stephen Fox. Fox Advisors. Please go ahead.

Speaker #4: Hi, good afternoon. I was wondering if you could dig in a little bit more into the sales pipeline you talked about in the aerospace and defense business.

Steven Fox: Hi, good afternoon. I was wondering if you could dig in a little bit more into the sales pipeline you talked about in the Aerospace & Defense business. Any sort of gauge into how maybe your business either is changing or expanding, and what type of capability trends are you seeing that is needed there that maybe we haven't thought of yet? I had a follow-up.

Speaker #4: Any sort of gauge into how maybe it's your business either is changing or expanding and what type of capability trends are you seeing that's needed there that maybe we haven't thought of yet?

Speaker #4: And then I had a follow-up.

Speaker #1: Yeah, thank you. Thank you, Steve. Good question. As you know, our aerospace and defense business is basically split in two. It's our PCB business, which is using the ultra HDI, and you saw the opening of Syracuse Diamond, which is really good.

Edwin Roks: Thank you, Steven. Good question. As you know, our Aerospace & Defense business is basically split in two. It is our PCB business, which is using the Ultra-HDI, and you saw the opening of Syracuse Diamond, which is really good, helping us on our Ultra-HDI. The other part of the business is, let's say, everything we do up the chain. Using our interconnect technologies to make modules, mostly RF modules, subsystems and systems, even complete radar systems. That business is very balanced. The business is doing very well on the PCB side, but also very well on the interconnect, in the electronics side. That is going well on both ends. If you look at the customers, let's say they are very active on both sides.

Speaker #1: So helping us on our ultra HDI. The other part of the business, let's say everything we do up the chain. So using our interconnect technologies to making modules mostly RF modules subsystems and systems, even complete radar systems.

Speaker #1: So that business is very balanced. That business is doing very well on the PCB side, but also very well on the interconnect sorry, the electronics side.

Speaker #1: So that's going well on both ends. If you look at the if you look at the customers, let's say they're very active on both sides.

Speaker #1: So, if you look at the book-to-bill, or if you look at the backlog—even better—at the $1.7 billion, that's a very solid number.

Edwin Roks: If you look at the book-to-bill, or if you look at the backlog, even better, at the $1.7 billion, that is a very solid number. If I look at the pipeline, which we also review, of course, every month, we are getting over the $7 billion. This is a qualified pipeline. We see very nice things happening both on the munition side. That is probably the most urgent thing. That is mostly on PCBs, by the way. We see a lot of things happening on the Golden Dome side. That is a good mix between both of the businesses, all the other things like communications, and other applications. Steven, a good mix in A&D. Well-positioned. I was on the Farnborough show just a few weeks ago.

Speaker #1: If I look at the pipeline, which we also review, of course, every month, we're getting over the 7 billion. And this is a qualified pipeline.

Speaker #1: So we see very nice things happening both on the munition side yeah, that's probably the most urgent thing. That's mostly on PCBs, by the way.

Speaker #1: Then we see a lot of things happening on the golden dome side. That's a good mix between both of the businesses. And then all the other things like communications, and other applications.

Speaker #1: So Steve, a good mix. In AMD, well-positioned. I was on the farm bro show just a few weeks ago. All these large players, they come with additional demand and it looks like sometimes we are the only supplier in the US.

Edwin Roks: All these large players, they come with additional demand, it looks like sometimes we are the only supplier in the US, this is very helpful. Our international business, by the way, is growing very nicely, we hope to grow that even further with the announcements of the two companies we addressed in our earnings release.

Speaker #1: So this is very helpful. And also our international business, by the way, is growing very nicely. And we hope to grow that even further with the announcements of the two companies we addressed in our earnings release.

Speaker #4: Great. That's very helpful. And then just as a follow-up, I'm sorry if I missed this, but is there any update on the Wisconsin facility ramp and your latest thinking on that?

Steven Fox: Great. That's very helpful. Just as a follow-up, I'm sorry if I missed this, but is there any update on the Wisconsin facility ramp and your latest thinking on that?

Speaker #1: No, but I can give you an update on the Wisconsin facility. So in Eau Claire, so first of all, Steve, we're not in a rush there.

Edwin Roks: No, I can give you an update on the Wisconsin

Steven Fox: Okay

Edwin Roks: facility in Eau Claire. First of all, Steve, we're not in a rush there. Yeah. We always had the plan with Eau Claire. We will start some production there, and we will start an innovation center. Probably the last thing, the innovation center, is the most important thing. We will demonstrate the newest technologies, very close to Chippewa Falls, where even today I saw some very new milestones. That site is doing amazing. 20 minutes away from that site, we have Eau Claire, we have Wisconsin. It's very well-positioned to do advanced R&D. The other thing, let's say, looking at the data centers and networking customers, they all have the opportunity to step in Eau Claire whenever they want. Yeah. Of course, we will ask them a contribution there. Again, we are not in a rush.

Speaker #1: Yeah? We always had a plan with Eau Claire. We will start some production there. And we will start an innovation center. Probably the last thing, the innovation center is the most important thing.

Speaker #1: And we will demonstrate the newest technologies very close to Chippewa Falls, where even today I saw some very new milestones. That site is doing amazing.

Speaker #1: 20 minutes away from that site, we have Eau Claire. We have Wisconsin. So it's very well positioned to do advanced R&D. The other thing, let's say, looking at the data centers and networking customers, they all have the opportunity to step in Eau Claire whenever they want.

Speaker #1: Yeah? And of course, we will ask them a contribution there. But again, we are not in a rush. And they are not in a rush, which I understand.

Edwin Roks: They are not in a rush, which I understand. It also means that we have a bit more time also to think about our Aerospace & Defense business. Again, also here, we are not in a rush. The thing is, we have the capacity available. We only paid less than $20 million for that site. Again, it's not a burden. Again, we'll take our time.

Speaker #1: That also means that we have a bit more time also to think about our aerospace and defense business. But again, also here, we are not in a rush.

Speaker #1: The thing is, we have the capacity available. We only paid less than 20 million for that site. So again, it's not a burden. So again, we'll take our time.

Speaker #4: Great. Thanks. And congrats on the quarter.

Steven Fox: Great. Thanks, and congrats on the quarter.

Speaker #1: Thanks, Steve.

Edwin Roks: Thanks, Steve.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Mike Crawford from B. Riley Securities. Please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Mike Crawford from B. Riley Securities. Please go ahead.

Speaker #5: Thank you. I believe in your remarks, you addressed some CCL supply chain issues facing kind of lower-end automotive products serving that vertical. But what about supply chain of T-Glass and other materials needed for your most sophisticated printed circuit boards serving the data center vertical?

Mike Crawford: Thank you. I believe in your remarks, you addressed some CCL supply chain issues facing kind of lower-end automotive products serving that vertical, but what about supply chain of Tg glass and other materials needed for your most sophisticated printed circuit board serving the data center vertical? How's that supply chain looking?

Speaker #5: How's that supply chain looking?

Speaker #1: Yeah. Yeah. So Mike, there's a trend going in that direction. Indeed, what you say. It is it looks like all these suppliers are a bit more focused on the higher end products.

Edwin Roks: Yeah. Mike, there's a trend going in that direction indeed, what you say. It looks like all these suppliers are a bit more focused on the higher-end products. On the high-end materials. I understand that. They want to make some money there, so they do that. That also means that if we are suffering a bit with our supply chain, it is always in the somewhat lower-end parts of our business. You pick an example here, automotive, yes. It's not our most important business. We pick our battles there. We look for the higher end. We look for the higher margins. If we have some supply chain issues with slightly longer lead times, it is in those businesses, protecting basically our higher end. Yes, I see that trend. Are the customers suffering on that? I don't think so. It's not happening.

Speaker #1: Yeah? On the high-end materials. So I understand that. They don't want to make some money there. So they do that. That also means that if we are suffering a bit with our supply chain, it is always in the somewhat lower-end parts of our business.

Speaker #1: Yeah, so you pick an example here—automotive. Yes, it's not our most important business. We pick our battles there, and we look for the higher end.

Speaker #1: We look for the higher margins. So if we have some supply chain issues, which slightly longer lead times, it is in those businesses. Protecting basically our higher end.

Speaker #1: So yes, I see that trend. Are the customers suffering on that? I don't think so. It's not happening. We still are able to get decent lead times.

Edwin Roks: We still are able to get decent lead times. We still have the materials, but yes, the effect is more severe in the lower-end materials than in the higher-end materials.

Speaker #1: We still have the materials. But yes, the effect is more severe in the lower-end materials than in the higher-end materials.

Speaker #5: Thank you, Edwin. And then switching gears for my one follow-up. I think you said that the two proposed acquisitions would be less than 220 million.

Mike Crawford: Thank you, Edwin. Switching gears for my one follow-up. I think you said that the two proposed acquisitions would be less than $220 million. Even that number is a bit higher than we estimated in our preview, could you give any more firm economics over potential annualized revenue contribution once they close, what you're paying, and also ability to expand in these footholds that you're gaining in Europe, like whether within the existing facilities or adjacent to, as you've done in Syracuse and elsewhere?

Speaker #5: That's even that number is a bit higher than we estimated in our preview. But could you give any more firm economics over potential annualized revenue contribution once they close?

Speaker #5: What you're paying? And also ability to expand in these footholds that you're gaining in Europe, like whether within the existing facilities or adjacent to, as you've done in Syracuse and elsewhere?

Speaker #1: Yeah. No, Mike, let me cover this first, and then hand it over to Dan. So first of all, I cannot be more excited about these two companies.

Edwin Roks: Mark, let me cover this first and then hand it over to Dan. First of all, I cannot be more excited about these two companies. I was there just a few weeks ago. This will be a great addition to TTM. If I both look at ILFA, I met the general manager, by the way, the CEO. At the Farnborough show, he was already helping us with a lot of TTM stuff, that's great. Also STG, I would almost feel that they are already part of TTM. Still, we are in a quiet period. We still have the regulatory offices to give their guidance, we wait for that, hopefully they will conclude September or so, come with a good conclusion there.

Speaker #1: I was there just a few weeks ago. This will be a great, great addition to TTM, okay? If I both look at ILFA, I met the general manager, by the way, the CEO.

Speaker #1: At the Farm Bro show, he was already helping us with a lot of TTM stuff, so that's great. And also SDG—I would almost feel that they are already part of TTM.

Speaker #1: But still, we're in a quiet period. Yeah? We still have the regulatory offices to give their guidance and we wait for that. And that hopefully they will conclude September or so.

Speaker #1: And come with a good conclusion there. The only thing I can say, and I said it in the we said it in the press release, that it is less than 5%.

Edwin Roks: The only thing I can say, we said it in the press release, that it is less than 5%. I'm happy with that because that also make it for regulatory offices a bit more easy. I wish I could talk more about revenue. I wish I could talk more about what we paid for it or what we will pay for it, I'm under NDA. I cannot do that, Mark, unfortunately. I can tell you I'm very excited. Dan, if you want to add something there?

Speaker #1: And I'm happy with that because that also makes it for regulatory offices a bit more easy I wish I could talk more about revenue.

Speaker #1: I wish I could talk more about what we paid for it or what we will pay for it. But I'm under NDA. I cannot do that, Mike, unfortunately.

Speaker #1: But I can tell you I'm very, very excited. And Dan, if you want to add something there.

Speaker #3: No, nothing more to add. We do expect them to close in the third quarter, and we'll provide all the related information at that time, including the impacts that it'll have going forward.

Dan Boehle: No, nothing more to add. We do expect them to close in Q3, we'll provide all the related information at that time, including the impacts that it'll have going forward.

Speaker #5: Thank you very much.

Mike Crawford: Thank you very much.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of William Stein from Truist Securities. Please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of William Stein from Truist Securities. Please go ahead.

Speaker #4: Great. Thanks for taking my questions. First, I want to say congrats on the good results. A better outlook and a very strong implied Q4, which I think is what's giving the stock the relief now.

William Stein: Great. Thanks for taking my questions. First, I want to say congrats on the good results, a better outlook, and a very strong implied Q4, which I think is what's giving the stock the relief now. Again, congrats on that. I'd like to ask about N+N again a little bit, and maybe a couple questions about it. First, it would seem to me that this is the major contributor to the upside in Q4. Edwin, I think you talked about doing an incremental $1 billion of N+N revenue next year. I'm hoping you can comment whether I have that data point correct and whether there's need for this technology outside of data center, and maybe you can talk us through why and what the expected impact would be on your margins. Thank you.

Speaker #4: So again, congrats on that. I'd like to ask about M plus N again a little bit, and maybe a couple of questions about it.

Speaker #4: First, it would seem to me that this is the major contributor to the upside in Q4. Edwin, I think you talked about doing an incremental $1 billion of M plus N revenue.

Speaker #4: Next year. So I'm hoping you can comment whether I have that data point correct. And whether there's need for this technology outside of data center and maybe you can talk us through why and what the expected impact would be on your margins.

Speaker #4: Thank you.

Speaker #1: Yeah. Yeah. Sure will. First of all, we are extremely happy with M plus N. Not only with M plus N, but also what it opens up.

Edwin Roks: Sure, Will. First of all, we're extremely happy with M+M. Not only with M+M, but also what it opens up. M+M is not just one process. It's a family of different options, and this is only the first step. I'm extremely happy with that. It supports multiple customers, and again, not only data centers and networking customers, but all other customers as well. New opportunities are opening up, which is great. Second thing is, yes, we are delivering now M+M. The yields are much better than we thought, and again, this is just ramping up, this is great. Yes, we're planning to do a lot of business next year as well. What that exact number is, Will, is still a bit our work, a work in progress. We're still doing our planning for next year. We're still doing our strategic plan.

Speaker #1: M plus M is not just one process. It's a family of different options. And this is only the first step. So I'm extremely happy with that.

Speaker #1: It supports multiple customers. And again, not only data centers and networking customers, but all other customers as well. So new opportunities are opening up, which is great.

Speaker #1: Second thing is, yes, we are delivering now M plus M. Yields are much better than we thought. And again, this is just ramping up.

Speaker #1: So this is great. Yes, we're planning to do a lot of business next year as well. What that exact number is, Will, is still a bit our work, let's say, a work in progress.

Speaker #1: We're still doing our planning. For next year, we're still doing our strategic plan. By the way, our strategic plan goes out seven years, okay?

Edwin Roks: By the way, our strategic plan goes out seven years. Our business plan is the first year of that. We're doing all these analyses to make sure that we are more accurate. You see that we are getting far more transparent to our analysts than we ever were. We give guidance, of course, we give guidance on the quarter and also the EPS, but we are also adding now the full year. This is the first year that we give guidance on the full year, and also since this quarter, we give guidance on the full year EPS. We plan to do that next year as well.

Speaker #1: And our business plan is the first year of that. So we're doing all these analyses to make sure that we are more accurate. You see that we are getting far more transparent to our analysts than we ever were.

Speaker #1: Yeah? So we give guidance. Of course, we give guidance on the quarter and also the EPS. But we also are adding now the full year.

Speaker #1: Yeah? This is the first year that we give guidance on the full year and also since this quarter, we give guidance on the full year EPS.

Speaker #1: We plan to do that next year as well. So, as soon as we did our exercise—and basically, this is a bottom-up exercise, not only top-down—working with all our customers, seeing how much they need on M plus M and how much they need on other technologies.

Edwin Roks: As soon as we did our exercise, and this basically, this is a bottom-up exercise, not only top-down, working with all our customers, seeing how much they need on M+M and how much they need on other technologies, we get back to you with a very accurate number, I would say. I can tell you, Will, M+M is really important for us. It could be in the ballpark you mentioned.

Speaker #1: We get back to you with a very, very accurate number, I would say. But I can tell you, Will, M plus M is really, really important for us.

Speaker #1: And it could be in the ballpark you mentioned.

Speaker #4: Great. As a follow-up, maybe I can ask about capacity constraints. I think the last time we spoke, you said that you're not facing any in data center.

William Stein: Great. As a follow-up, maybe I can ask about capacity constraints. I think the last time we spoke, you said that you're not facing any in data center, but if you had any additional capacity, you'd love it in the MI&I. Is that still the case? Or have capacity additions allowed you to overcome those constraints, or are they still affecting you? Maybe compare this to what your customers are seeing broadly in the industry. Thank you.

Speaker #4: But if you had any additional capacity, you'd love it in the MINI. Is that still the case? Or has the capacity have capacity additions allowed you to overcome those constraints?

Speaker #4: Or are they still affecting you and maybe compare this to what your customers are seeing broadly in the industry? Thank you.

Speaker #1: No. Good question, Will. The thing is, and even let's say with the growth, the quarter over quarter, sorry, the year over year growth in MINI is 33%.

Edwin Roks: No, good question, Will. The thing is, even let's say with the growth quarter-over-quarter, the year-over-year growth in MI&I is 33%. Even with those growth numbers, we're still able to supply these customers. If we look at the whole capacity calculations, mostly China Plus One, but also US, we still are very comfortable. You see that we focus a lot on brownfields. That basically means existing facilities which we are going to expand. We do that very well in China. During the analyst day, I remember we gave you a few examples how fast these things go. You remember in March was an empty hall, and in May we have all these drill stations there. That's how fast we can move in China, and that's still happening.

Speaker #1: Even with those growth numbers, we're still able to supply these customers. If we look at the whole capacity calculations, mostly China, China plus one, but also US, we're still very, very comfortable.

Speaker #1: You see that we do we focus a lot on brownfield. That basically means existing facilities, which we are going to expand. We do that very well in China.

Speaker #1: During the analyst day, I remember we gave you a few examples how fast these things go. Remember in March was an empty hall. And in May, we had all these drill stations there.

Speaker #1: So that's how fast we can move in China. And that's still happening. By the way, I just came from my board meeting last week.

Edwin Roks: By the way, I just came from my board meeting last week, we approved another capital investment on the same thing. That's going very well. On MI&I, that business is growing. We love it. That's also the reason for the acquisition of STG, by the way. We love that business. The medical business, when you're in, you're in. The same thing, Will, on the A&D side. There we're also expanding Sterling. We're expanding a lot of other sites, which are really relevant sites. You make from a $100 million site, you make a $200 million site. That's how it works. I like that brownfield, I like the expansion of existing sites, and that's helping us a lot. The capacity is available immediately. This is the way forward.

Speaker #1: And we approved another capital investment on the same thing. So that's going very well. On MINI, that business is growing. We love it. There's also a reason for the acquisition of SDG, by the way.

Speaker #1: We love that business, the medical business. When you're in, you're in. And the same thing, Will, on the A&E side—there, we are also expanding Sterling.

Speaker #1: We're expanding a lot of other sites. Which are really relevant sites. And suddenly, you make from 100 million sites, you make a 200 million site.

Speaker #1: That's how it works. So I like that brownfield. And I like the expansion of existing sites. And that's helping us a lot. And the capacity is available immediately.

Speaker #1: So this is the way forward.

Speaker #2: And Will, I'll just point out, as Edwin just mentioned, we got approval to accelerate some of our capital expenditures so if you look at the 10Q disclosure, it'll see up around 45 million at the top and bottom end of that range.

Dan Boehle: Will, I'll just point out, as Edwin just mentioned, we got approval to accelerate some of our capital expenditures. If you look at the 10-Q disclosure, you'll see the expenditures expected for this year went up around $45 million, at the top and bottom end of that range.

William Stein: Thank you.

Speaker #1: Yeah. Thank you, Dustin. No, I'd like to close by summarizing three key items. First, we are experiencing high healthy growth. We delivered strong sales growth in Q2 of 37% year on year, resulting in an all-time high of 1 billion dollars for quarterly revenue, driven by increases in our data center and networking, medical, industrial, and instrumentation aerospace and defense end markets.

We expect to continue building on this operating performance in the H2 of 2026. Third, we continue to generate solid cash flows from operations, which enables us to invest in our projected continued growth while maintaining a healthy net leverage ratio of 0.9 times.

Speaker #1: Second, our adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 16.6%, reflecting strong operating performance leading to another all-time high record in quarterly non-cap EPS of 99 cents.

Speaker #1: We expect to continue building on this operating performance in the second half of 2026. And third, we continue to generate solid cash flows from operations which enables us to invest in our projected continued growth while maintaining a healthy net leverage ratio of 0.9 times.
