Welcome to the Q1 2022 Harmonic Earnings Conference Call. My name is Valerie, and I'll be your operator on today's call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speaker's presentations, there'll be a question and answer session. To ask a question at that time, please press star then one on your touchtone telephone. Please note that this conference is being recorded. I will now turn the call over to David Hanover, Investor Relations. David, you may begin. Thank you, operator. Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining us today for Harmonic's first quarter 2022 financial results conference call. With me today are Patrick Harshman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Sanjay Kalra, Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, I'd like to point out that in addition to our audio portion of the webcast, we've also provided slides to this webcast, which you may see by going to our webcast on our investor relations website. Now going to slide two. During this call, we will provide projections and other forward-looking statements regarding future events or future financial performance of the company. Such statements are only current expectations and actual events or results may differ materially. We refer you to documents Harmonic filed with the SEC, including our most recent 10-Q and 10-K reports and the forward-looking statements section of today's preliminary results press release. These documents identify important risk factors which can cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in our projections or forward-looking statements. Please note that unless otherwise indicated, the financial metrics we provide you on this call are determined on a non-GAAP basis. These metrics, together with corresponding GAAP numbers and a reconciliation to GAAP, are contained in today's press release, which we posted on our website and filed with the SEC on Form 8-K. We will also discuss historical, financial and other statistical information regarding our business and operation, and some of this information is included in this press release. The remainder of the information will be available on a recorded version of this call or on our website. Now I'll turn the call over to our CEO, Patrick Harshman. Patrick. Well, thanks, David, and welcome everyone to our first quarter call. During the first quarter of 2022, Harmonic carried forward the strong business momentum we achieved in 2021. Revenue was up 32% year-over-year to $147.4 million. EPS was 0.08 and book-to-bill was 1.4, all of which drove further growth of our backlog and deferred revenue to a record level at quarter end. Among the business highlights enabling these corporate results were Cable Access segment revenue growth of 98%, Video segment SaaS revenue growth of 75% year-over-year, and solid bottom-line contributions from both segments. The robust demand we continue to see for our solutions and our consistent execution despite significant supply chain and global geopolitical challenges make a strong statement about the health and management of our business and our confidence in delivering sustained market leadership, growth and value creation for our customers and stockholders as we continue in 2022 and beyond. Taking a closer look at our Cable Access segment, we delivered another exceptional quarter. Segment revenue was up 98% year-over-year. By quarter end, 77 broadband service providers were deploying on CableOS, up 45% year-over-year. Broadband modems served grew to 6.1 million, up 100% year-over-year, and still only about 10% of the currently addressable footprint defined by our wins to date. As Sanjay will discuss momentarily, adjusted segment EBITDA margin was approximately 12%, an impressive result considering persistent supply chain cost and capacity headwinds. Despite these challenges, overall market conditions are trending favorably for our broadband access business. Consumer and enterprise demand for broadband capacity is strong and growing, and competition between broadband service providers is heating up worldwide. Against this market backdrop, our competitive position has never been stronger. The distributed architectures we invented have become the de facto industry standard, and it's becoming clearer that our continuing technology advances spanning cloud native software and digital hardware are way out in front of the competition. Consequently, demand for our end-to-end systems encompassing software and hardware continues to exceed previous expectations. Looking ahead to the remainder of 2022, we anticipate existing customers will continue to aggressively scale. Of course, we will also remain very focused on winning new accounts, both large and small. While multi-gigabit DOCSIS-based services remain the foundation of the business, we're increasingly bullish about our fiber to the home opportunity. We have successfully launched fiber to the home with several smaller customers. We're making good progress qualifying our solution with tier one accounts. At last week's CableLabs 10G showcase in Denver, we wowed attendees with our latest cloud native platform developments, demonstrating DOCSIS 4.0 reaching 8.5 gigabits per second downstream and five gigabits per second upstream. We also showcased converged multi-gigabit DOCSIS 3.1 and symmetric 10G fiber to the home services deployed through our CableOS Ripple outdoor node platform, a unique Harmonic capability illustrating both the strategic value in widely deploying our outdoor node platforms and through our innovations, the cable industry's ability to compete effectively with competitive fiber offerings. Putting it all together, we remain confident that our broadband access business is uniquely positioned for strong profitable growth for the foreseeable future. To be clear, this positive outlook incorporates what we know about the Russian war in Ukraine. We anticipate no sales of broadband access systems in Russia, and our updated guidance contemplates continued disruption and possibly additional expense associated with our personnel in Ukraine, a subset of our global R&D team. Looking beyond 2022, we now forecast the 2024 top-line revenue, EBITDA dollars and EBITDA percentage for the broadband access segment will be ahead of the plan we communicated to you during our Investor Day in June of last year. We're planning another Investor Day in the coming months, during which time we will further flesh out this multi-year update. In the meantime, we're excited about the broadband market and demand trends we see, and we're fully focused on execution in 2022. We're turning now to our video segments. Here we also delivered a solid quarter and start to the fiscal year. First quarter segment revenue was $65.8 million, down 6.4% year-over-year, while segment gross margin was 58.8%, up 370 basis points year-over-year, resulting in approximately flat segment gross profit. We achieved strong streaming SaaS revenue growth for the quarter, up 75% year-over-year, which was offset by expected slowly declining legacy video appliance sales. As a reminder, in June last year, we also laid out our multi-year video business strategic plan, similar to what we did for our cable access business. Our video plan has two core elements, taking a leading position in the growing streaming SaaS market, particularly for live sports, and maximizing revenue and profit from the declining video appliance broadcast model. Our first quarter results highlight continuing execution of this plan. On the broadcast appliance side of the business, demand and outlook continues largely as anticipated. In contrast to our broadband access business, we have historically sold video appliances and related services in Russia. Now as a result of the war in Ukraine, we anticipate losing approximately $6 million of previously forecasted Russian video business during 2022. Fortunately, we expect this Russia gap to be largely filled by video appliance and streaming SaaS upside in other parts of the world, where we're seeing stronger than originally forecast demand. Streaming SaaS upside in the coming quarters is due in part to a major new sports-driven win during the first quarter with a tier one streaming media company, as well as continued expansion of live streaming sports delivery for customers that have already launched. During the quarter, we set several new internal records for live content delivered and advertisements inserted, and our reputation for enabling best-in-class live streaming continues to grow. Looking ahead, we remain confident that our transformation in video to streaming SaaS is working. Considering our strong first quarter start and our robust sales pipeline, we expect our streaming SaaS revenue to grow over 50% again in 2022, and we remain on track to achieve the 2024 streaming SaaS targets we laid out for you in our Investor Day last year. In summary for our video segment, continued profitability, gross margin expansion, and streaming SaaS growth all point to a successful transformation and value creation story. With that, I'll turn it over to you now, Sanjay, for a closer look at our financial results and outlook. Thanks, Patrick, and thank you all for joining us today. Before I discuss our quarterly results and outlook, I'd like to remind everyone that the financial results I'll be referring to are provided on a non-GAAP basis. As David mentioned earlier, our Q1 press release and earnings presentation includes reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP that are discussed on this call. Both of these are available on our website. For the first quarter of 2022, we delivered solid financial results that were near or above the top of our guidance ranges. These results demonstrate the strength of our businesses, which continue to perform well despite challenges related to the war in Ukraine, the pandemic, and our supply chain. Before I run through our quarterly financials in more detail, I briefly review key highlights here on slide seven. We reported record first quarter revenue of 147.4 million, along with solid EPS of 0.08. The considerable business momentum we saw in 2021 continued in the first quarter of 2022, with bookings of 205.5 million and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.4. This drove another record backlog and deferred revenue position at quarter end of 497.3 million. Considering the strong first quarter performance and the positive market and competitive trends mentioned by Patrick, we are raising our full-year revenue, adjusted EBITDA and EPS guidance. Now let's review our first quarter financials in more detail. Turning to slide eight, as I just mentioned, total company Q1 revenue was 147.4 million, up 32.1% year-over-year and down 5.4% sequentially from a seasonally strong Q4. Looking first at our cable access business segment, revenue for the quarter was 81.6 million, up 97.8% year-over-year and 17% sequentially, reflecting both the continued ramp-up of existing customers and new customer wins, including some early success we are seeing with our fiber-to-the-home application. In our video segment, we reported total Q1 revenue of $65.8 million, down 6.4% year-over-year, of which SaaS revenues were $6.7 million, up 75.3% year-over-year. This modest decline was primarily due to timing of few broadcast projects and the impact of ceasing sales in Russia. Later on, I will share more details on the anticipated impact on our video business of ceasing sales in Russia. We had 3 customers representing greater than 10% of total revenue during the quarter. Comcast contributed 31%, Intelsat contributed 13%, and Vodafone contributed 10% of total revenue. Total company gross margin declined by 320 basis points to 47.3% compared to 50.5% in Q4 2021, and by 310 basis points versus Q1 2021. This decline is due to elevated Cable Access segment supply chain-related costs and increased mix of Cable Access segment revenues. Cable Access segment revenue was 55.4% of total company revenue in the quarter. Cable Access gross margin for Q1 2022 was at the high end of our expectations at 38%, compared to 40.3% in Q4 2021 and 42.2% in Q1 2021. As anticipated, extraordinary supply chain costs weighed on margins in the first quarter of 2022 relative to the prior year. Also, as anticipated, we forecast Cable Access gross margins improving in the second quarter as these non-recurring premium costs have now largely flowed through. Video segment gross margin was 58.8% in Q1 2022, up 370 basis points compared to 55.1% in the year-over-year period, and flat sequentially. The annual improvement reflects an improved software mix within our appliance category, as well as our expanding SaaS business. Moving down the income statement on slide 9. Q1 2022 operating expenses were 58.4 million, compared to 58 million in Q4 2021 and 51.1 million in Q1 2021. The year-over-year increase is primarily due to increased research and development, as well as sales and marketing activities to support the growth of our Cable Access business. Operating expenses represented 39.6% of revenue in Q1 2022, compared to 45.8% of revenue in Q1 2021, demonstrating operating leverage as revenues continue to ramp. Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2022 was 9.8% of revenue at 14.5 million, comprised of 9.7 million from Cable Access and 4.8 million from Video. This compares to an adjusted EBITDA of $23.8 million or 15.3% of revenue in Q4 2021, and a year-over-year improvement compared to $9.1 million or 8.2% of revenue in Q1 2021. This all translated into Q1 2022 EPS of 0.08 per share, compared to 0.16 per share in Q4 2021 and 0.04 per share for Q1 2021. Excuse me. We ended the quarter with a diluted weighted average share count of 110.6 million, compared to 110.5 million in Q4 2021 and 103.2 million in Q1 2021. The sequential increase is primarily due to the issuance of 1.3 million shares to employees for vested restricted stock units, ESPP purchases, and performance-based compensation, offset by a reduction in convertible debt dilution of 0.8 million shares and the dilutive effect of outstanding RSUs and options by 0.4 million shares, both resulting from the decrease in our average stock price in the quarter. By share repurchases of 223,000 shares in the quarter at an average price of 9.18. The year-over-year increase reflects dilution of our convertible debt by 2.5 million shares and the dilutive effect of outstanding RSUs and options by 0.8 million shares, both resulting from an increase in our average stock price during the year. 4.2 million shares due to the weighted effect of stock issued to employees and ESPP shares. In early February 2022, we announced a stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $100 million of our outstanding shares of common stock through February 2025. We intend to fund the share repurchases from cash on hand and cash generated from operations. Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time through open market purchases and 10b5-1 trading plans in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including the price of our common stock, market conditions, corporate needs, and regulatory requirements. Turning now to the order books. We are pleased to report yet another quarter of strong new bookings. As noted earlier, Q1 bookings were a record 205.5 million, compared to 267.3 million in Q4 2021 and up 113.4% from Q1 2021, demonstrating continued robust demand for our solutions. Demand for our Cable Access products was the biggest driver, although Q1 bookings for both segments were up year-over-year in all regions worldwide. The book-to-bill ratio was 1.4 in the quarter, compared to 1.7 in Q4 2021 and 0.9 in Q1 2021. On the Cable Access side of the business, we see cable operators buying ahead in anticipation of accelerating 2022 and early 2023 broadband network deployments. Turning to slide 10, we now discuss our liquidity position and balance sheet. We ended Q1 with cash of 100.7 million, compared to 133.4 million at the end of Q4 2021, and 100.8 million in Q1 last year. The 32.7 million sequential cash decrease is primarily comprised of 27.5 million of cash used in working capital, largely in accounts receivable and inventories to support business growth, offset by operating profits of both Cable Access and Video segments, $2.1 million of share repurchases, as I just mentioned, and 2.4 million of cash used in the purchase of fixed assets. Our days sales outstanding at the end of Q1 was 71 days, compared to 51 days at the end of Q4 2021, and 69 days in Q1 2021. We expect collections and therefore accounts receivable to improve in Q2. Our days inventory on hand was 95 days at the end of Q1, compared to 83 days at the end of Q4 2021, and 58 days at the end of Q1 2021, reflecting increasing inventory at the end of the quarter as we prepare for heavy shipments for the rest of the year. We continue to build inventory at higher than normal levels to proactively manage the supply chain. At the end of Q1, total backlog and deferred revenue was a record 497.3 million, up 13% sequentially from 441 million at Q4 2021, and up 81% year-over-year from 274.3 million at Q1 2021. This latest backlog in deferred revenue reflects continued growing demand from our large cable customers and increasing video streaming SaaS commitments. Note that more than 80% of our backlog and deferred revenue has customer request dates for shipments of products and providing services within the next 12 months. Excuse me. As mentioned on previous calls, not included in our backlog is additional contractually agreed CableOS business with three of our initial tier one cable customers. At the end of Q1 2022, this incremental amount was approximately 98 million, down from 104 million last quarter, and approximately 6 million went through the purchase order process and therefore moved into bookings. Taking these CableOS contracts into account, we have total future contracted revenues of approximately 595 million, which continues to provide us with a very solid base as we move ahead into 2022. Now I'll turn to our revised non-GAAP guidance for 2022, beginning on slide 11. I will also give brief commentary on key changes from our prior annual guidance we gave in January. For the total company for full year 2022, we now expect revenue in the range of 585 million-625 million. The 4% midpoint increase from our previous guidance was driven by an increase in expected Cable segment revenues. Gross margin in the range of 49.1%-50.2%, marginally up five basis points at the midpoint versus prior guidance. Gross profit to range from 287 million-314 million, up 4% at midpoint versus prior guidance. Operating expenses to range from 238 million-251 million, up 1% at the midpoint of our prior guidance, driven primarily by increased compensation expenses and possible relocation costs related to our contract engineering resources in Ukraine. Adjusted EBITDA to range from $60 million-$74 million. This represents a 16% increase at the midpoint versus prior guidance, driven by the expected increase in Cable revenues discussed earlier. EPS to range from 0.34-0.45. At the midpoint, this is a 20% increase versus prior guidance. An effective tax rate of 13%. A weighted average diluted share count of approximately 110.8 million, a decline of 1.8 million shares from prior guidance. This was primarily due to reduced dilution on debt, given a softer average stock trading price. Finally, cash at the end of 2022 is expected to come in between 100-110 million, in line with our prior guidance. Turning to slide 12, I will review our total company outlook for the second quarter of 2022. We expect revenue in the range of 144-154 million. Gross margin in the range of 49.3%-51.2%. Gross profit in the range of 71-79 million. Operating expenses to range from 61-64 million. Adjusted EBITDA to range from 13-18 million. A weighted average diluted share count of approximately 110.8 million. EPS to range from 0.07-0.11. At the end of Q2, cash is expected to range from 100-110 million. Excuse me. On slide 13, I will first review guidance for both the full year and second quarter of 2022 for our Cable segment. For the full year 2022, based on our progress to date, we expect Cable Access to achieve revenue between 310 million and 338 million. An 8% increase from midpoint of prior guidance, implying full-year revenue growth of 48% at the midpoint. Given our success navigating capacity constraints through the first four months of the year, we are more comfortable expanding the high end of our outlook. Although to be clear, challenges remain, necessitating a still wide range. Gross margins between 42% and 43.4%. This marginal 40 basis points improvement from prior guidance is due to an expected increase in software and services contributions. Gross profit between 130 million-147 million, up 9% from prior guidance at the midpoint. Operating expenses between 93 million-101 million, up 3% from prior guidance at the midpoint. Adjusted EBITDA between 43 million-51 million, up 22% from prior guidance at the midpoint. For our Cable Access segment in Q2, we expect revenue in the range of 74 million-80 million. Gross margin in the range of 42%-44%. Gross profit in the range of 31 million-35 million. Operating expenses in the range of 24 million-26 million. Adjusted EBITDA to range from $8 million-$11 million. Now moving on to slide 14. We will review full year and second quarter 2022 Video segment guidance. Currently, we expect revenue in the range of 275 million-287 million, nearly consistent with prior guidance, despite an approximately $6 million negative revenue drag from ceasing sales in Russia. Gross margins in the range of 57%-58.3% with a 25 basis point improvement over prior guidance at midpoint. Gross profit in the range of 157 million-167 million, basically flat with prior guidance at midpoint. Operating expenses in the range of 145 million-150 million, slightly better than prior guidance at the midpoint. Adjusted EBITDA in the range of 17 million-23 million, a slight improvement from prior guidance. For Video segment in Q2, we expect revenue in the range of 70 million-74 million. Gross margins in the range of 57%-59%. Gross profit in the range of 40-44 million. Operating expenses in the range of 37-38 million. Adjusted EBITDA to range from $4-$7 million. In summary, we continue to build on our momentum from 2021 with a strong first quarter and grew our record backlog and deferred revenue balance even further, positioning ourselves well for the balance of 2022 and the trajectory to execute our long-term model. Patrick earlier shared key financial highlights from our updated long-term model for the Cable segment, and we are in process of planning another Investor Day in the coming months, during which we will further provide further details on this positive multi-year update. Please stay tuned for additional details on our Investor Day. Thank you everyone for your attention today. Now I'll turn it back to Patrick for final remarks before we open up the call for questions. Okay, thanks, Sanjay. We'd like to conclude by summarizing our priorities for the remainder of the year. At the corporate level in 2022, we intend to extend our market reach, leadership, and deployment velocity to create even greater value for our customers and our shareholders. For Cable Access business, this means that our objectives remain driving volume deployments with our tier one customers, winning and scaling with new global operators, and expanding our addressable market for a unique converged solution for DOCSIS and fiber to the home applications. As the results demonstrate, we've already made solid progress on all three of these fronts during the first quarter. For our Video segment, we continue to focus on accelerating the growth of our streaming SaaS customer base, extending the breadth of our streaming SaaS solution to enable even faster growth, and leveraging the traditional broadcast appliance business to profitably enable these transformations. Here again, we delivered good progress in all three of these areas during the first quarter. We're looking forward to the rest of 2022, and we appreciate your continued support. With that, let's now open up the call to your questions. Thank you. Again, ladies and gentlemen, if you'd like to ask a question, please press star then one on your touch-tone telephone. Again, to ask a question, please press star then one. Our first question comes from Simon Leopold of Raymond James. Your line is open. Thank you. two, if I may. The first one is, could you help us understand your exposure, either directly or indirectly, to the lockdowns in China and what you've assumed in terms of your ability to operate? Are you identifying alternate sources, or do you expect it to be short-lived? Just trying to understand how you factored that into this guidance. I've got a follow-up. Okay. Well, first, the headline, Simon, is that it is factored into the guidance. We sell some product, again, primarily video in China. There is, I'd say, a modest revenue headwind there that has been factored into the guidance that we shared. As your question anticipates or understands, we do some, a limited amount of component sourcing. We don't do any manufacturing. We don't do any R&D in China. Fortunately, the areas from which we source our, the subset of components that we source to build some of the hardware products that we do elsewhere, we're not so far impacted significantly by the lockdowns. We have thought about, you know, the implications of the lockdowns spread to the areas of where we're doing business. We've, as best as we can, factored in those risk factors into the guidance that we've provided. Thanks. Then in terms of the follow-up, in the past, we've talked about, I guess the penetration rates of CableOS in terms of the number of subscribers turned on to the network relative to the number of total subscribers for the customer base. Where does that metric stand, and how do you see that evolving over the next year or two? Well, at quarter end, our systems had been deployed to serve 6 million modems, exclusively through our CableOS software, predominantly also through our hardware. That represents 100% year-over-year growth. In other words, that metric was about 3 million a year ago. That is if we add up the modems served by the customers that have now begun or in the process of deploying our solutions, you know, that's about 10% of the footprint. In other words, it's about a 60 million cable modem footprint that we are currently addressing. I guess a couple of things. Clearly, there's a ton of runway left with those customers who have already selected or deploying us, not to mention you know the pipeline of newer customers that we're pursuing or the add-on fiber to the home applications we're going after. You know, if you look at our guidance for this year, I think the midpoint of the guidance is about 45% or thereabouts, Sanjay. You know, in very round numbers, I mean, and it's not correlated 100%, Simon, but that implies roughly 50% more business than last year. It's roughly 50% more subscribers. So you might add our customers to add an aggregate, you know, I don't know, roughly 4.5 million more cable modems over the course of 2022. I mean, please, that's a, you know, very back of the envelope kind of number just to help, I think give you the zip code of the way we see this evolving. I'll stop there. Does that help? That's really very helpful. Thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for. I just say at the midpoint of the guidance, the cable margins are approximately 42.5%. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Ryan Koontz from Needham. Your line is open. Hi. Nice quarter there, especially on the cable front. I wonder if you could provide us any color on kind of the mix in the quarter. You know, it sounds like, you know, hardware obviously saw some headwinds on supply chain costs that kind of moved through the flow and impacted this quarter. You know, how should we think about that mix as it sits, both in the quarter and, you know, in your backlog as well would be helpful. Thank you. Yeah. The mix in the quarter for hardware is modestly up, you know, in Q2 compared to Q1. At the same time, in Q1, you know, as I mentioned, the margins were at the lower end, 38%, and that came in primarily because we had non-recurring premium costs, which are largely behind us. That said, if you look at the mix overall for the year and compare it to the last year, there's just a modest increase in hardware versus software. That plays all into the margins for the whole year as well, which are pretty much flat at midpoint. Right. Your outlook here for the rest of the year on cable, you sound pretty confident, you're not going to see a ton of variability there, and this should be a floor on the margin front for Q3. Definitely. That's great. Just to follow if I could, as you think about the supply chain impacts there, Sanjay, any other major concerns you have? Obviously, there's a lot of moving parts here, but I assume no major changes in your view of supply chain going forward here. No major changes from where we are. That said, supply chain challenge still remains a big challenge, which we deal with every day. Based on where we see, you know, in terms of capacity constraints, we see some improvement, and hence we have expanded the high end of our revenue range. That said, in terms of the margin pressures, I think we are pretty much flat. Got it. Helpful. Thanks very much. I'll get back in queue. Thank you. Our next question comes from George Notter of Jefferies. Your line is open. Hi, this is Kyle. I'm for George Notter. Thanks for the question. I wanted to get a sense if you could tell us, kind of some of your activity with tier one cable operators and how many of them are in progress with trials right now currently for CableOS. I know you used to give a number that was similar to that, and now you're moving to deploying customers, which is great. But wanted to get a sense if we can get update on what the pipeline looks like specifically for tier ones. Thanks. We're involved with a number of well, let me take a step back, Kyle. Forgive me first. I think previously we've talked about nine tier one wins. That's where we are. Of those, I don't know, four-five are actively deploying, and the remaining four-five are still in the process of really getting off the ground. So that's the story from a currently deploying perspective. If we go even further up the pipeline of activity, indeed, we are engaged with several additional tier ones, both in the Americas and outside of the Americas, who are in various stages of evaluating the solution. We remain quite optimistic that we will continue to see new customers, both large as well as medium and smaller, continue to adopt our platform in 2022 and beyond. Okay, great. Thanks. One more from me. This one's regarding your progress with FTTH deployments. That activity certainly sounds pretty positive. Can you give us a sense for what types of deployments these are, your first ones are? Are they edge outs by cable operators or kind of more substantial brownfield upgrades? How much of their footprint are they upgrading? Are there any pure play FTTH customers in there at all? I'll start with the last one first. There are a couple of smaller, pure fiber to the home players. The focus so far and the success so far has been with cable operators or hybrid fiber cable operators. Let's face it, every cable operator is over time, becoming a hybrid operator. We see fiber being used to two main applications. One is greenfields, new housing developments, businesses, et cetera. As your question alluded to, we also see growing strategic use of fiber in brownfields. This is going after high-end customers where maybe a fiber offering is needed, or used surgically to compete with, yeah, competitive fiber offerings. Our product slots in really well in those kind of applications where we see, you know, fiber being used, let's say, surgically or so-called fiber islands is another term being used in the industry to kind of overlay existing cable infrastructure with pockets of fiber. We see all of the above being used, and we think our solution works really well for these hybrid kind of applications and business models. Okay. Thanks very much, and good job on the progress. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Tim Savageaux of Northland Securities. Your line is open. Hi. Pardon me. Hi, good afternoon, and yeah, congrats on the very, very strong results and increased outlook yet again for Cable Access. That's kind of part of my leads to my at least first question, which is back on the PON side, you know, to what extent, I guess, is PON revenue material to either that guidance increase or to the overall Cable Access revenue number for calendar 2022? Competitively, I wonder if you might comment. You had CommScope announce a PON platform this morning. I'd be interested in your thoughts on the overall competitive landscape, and maybe try to relate the extent of your leadership in kind of the virtualized distributed DOCSIS world, maybe relate that to where you think you are in the PON world amongst the same customer base. Okay. Thanks for the question, Tim. I'll try to address that. Sanjay, please feel free to jump in. On the first part of the question, look, the demand has been strong. The backlog and deferred revenue has been strong. It's principally driven by the data over cable products and solutions. Fiber to the Home is certainly part of that. Our ability to raise guidance is more to do with our view of kind of expanding, you know, supply chain capacity than increased demand. Put differently, you know, the outlook for our business continues to be capacity constrained, not demand constrained. From the beginning, fiber is part of that, but the increase is not so much due to incremental fiber demand as it is our increased confidence of squeezing more through the supply chain. You know, that being said, why I think the second part of your question is, well, you know, how are we competitively positioned on the fiber front? We think we're uniquely positioned, Tim, and that's from two perspectives. Number one, we do think not just in cable, but more broadly in telecom, we think our cloud-native core platform is really unique and really out front. Both within the context of DOCSIS, but also within the context of fiber platforms, doing the core data handling, provisioning, interfacing the system all in a cloud-native way, we think is unique, is powerful, and is out ahead of just about everyone else we're aware of in the broadband space in general. Certainly, our ability to do that in a converged way for DOCSIS and fiber, too, solutions in kind of one common provisioning, for example, is pretty powerful and is part of what's gaining resonance. The other part of the power of the solution is the out in the networks, the platform conversion. Our OLTs, if you don't mind me getting a little bit more technical, the fiber components, our hardened Ethernet switch capability, all of it drops right into the existing node platforms we've already been deploying. Particularly if you're a cable operator who's been deploying DAA for cable initially, whether you intended to or not, you've already actually deployed a fiber to the home platform, through which the software exists centrally, and through which you can very easily, through plug-in upgrades, extend to fiber. We think this is uniquely powerful. This is not just us going to market with some kind of additional adjacent product, but this is a truly integrated solution. Last week at CableLabs, there was a really interesting workshop for the industry, attended very well by a number of cable operators. Some really exciting demonstrations were done, and our converged DOCSIS and fiber capability was prominently highlighted by ourselves and by customers. I think it really speaks to the unique opportunity we have here in the work stream. Thanks. If I could follow up there, I mean, I think you mentioned maybe you were running ahead of some of the targets you outlined at the Analyst Day for cable access. You can feel free to increase those targets if you like, but sounds like, you know, maybe not yet. As you look at maybe the two equations or two factors that might be driving that, which is your share of the market and overall growth of the market, you know, you set out some TAM estimates back then. Would you say the market has expanded faster than you thought since the Analyst Day on either the data over cable PON side or both, or has Harmonic been more successful kind of capturing customers and gaining share? I'd be interested in that dynamic. It's more the latter than the former. Which is not to say that we're not excited about the growth of the market. What we do now believe relative to nine months ago or whenever it was when we held our Analyst Day, Tim, is that we believe that we will capture an even larger share of the spend. That's particularly true on the hardware side of the equation. It means that we expect top-line growth ahead of what we projected. Yes, it does mean a blended gross margin down, but it means EBIT dollars and EBIT dollar margin percentage are greater than what we projected at that time, which we think and that net is positive news. It's more a reflection of our growing confidence in our ability to command more share, Tim, and lead this market than it is a belief in even faster market growth. Although a big part of why we're here is we believe that this is a pretty exciting market to be attacking. Thanks very much, and congrats again. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Again, ladies and gentlemen, if you'd like to ask a question, please press star then one on your touch tone telephone. Again, to ask a question, please press star then one. One moment, please. I'm showing no further questions at this time. I'd like to turn the call back over to Patrick Harshman for any closing remarks. Okay. Well, thank you very much, Valerie, for joining us today. Clearly we had a strong quarter. I hope it also comes across clearly that we're excited about our opportunities. We're focused on execution. Both our cable business and our video business are well on track with not only the 2022 targets that we outlined, but the longer range targets. You can expect us to continue to execute in the context of an interesting market, let us say. Clearly the opportunities outweigh the challenges, and we're excited about what lies ahead. We appreciate your time today, and we appreciate your support, and we look forward to talking with you next time. Thanks, all. Have a good day. Thank you all. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, this does conclude today's conference. Thank you all for participating. You may now disconnect. Have a great day.
