Forward guidance

We are guiding fiscal third quarter revenue of $885 to $925 million, which reflects the benefits of ongoing strong customer demand and new program ramps as well as the challenges created by continued supply chain constraints. We anticipate the revenue ramp will further leverage an operating cost structure built to support much greater levels of customer demand, resulting in expanded GAAP operating margin of 4.4% to 4.9% and GAAP EPS of $1.02 to $1.18.

Tailwinds

  • Ongoing strong customer demand
  • New program ramps
  • Potential to deliver quarterly sequential revenue growth through fiscal 2022
  • Potential to deliver quarterly sequential revenue growth into fiscal 2023
  • Expansion in GAAP operating margin and EPS

Headwinds

  • Challenges created by continued supply chain constraints
