We are recording this meeting, and a replay will be available for four weeks on the investor relations section of our website at investor.silabs.com. Our earnings press release and the accompanying financial tables are also available on our website. Joining me today are Silicon Labs President and Chief Executive Officer Matt Johnson and Chief Financial Officer Dean Butler. They will discuss our first quarter financial performance and review recent business activities. We will take questions after our prepared comments, and our remarks today will include forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. We base these forward-looking statements on information available to us as of the date of this conference call and assume no obligation to update these statements in the future. We encourage you to review our SEC filings, which identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Additionally, during our call today, we will refer to certain non-GAAP financial information. A reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in the company's earnings press release and on the Investor Relations section of our website. I'd now like to turn the call over to Silicon Labs Chief Executive Officer Matt Johnson. Matt? Thanks, Giovanni, and good morning to everyone. Silicon Labs drove strong first quarter results consistent with our outlook and showing momentum across the business. As we highlighted in our recent analyst day, we are well positioned to outperform the broader semiconductor market, and our Q1 results illustrate that with both sequential and year-over-year revenue growth in both of our business units. Our Home & Life business grew mid-single digits sequentially, nearly doubling year-over-year as share gains in connected healthcare continued materializing into production ramps. In addition, smart home applications showed signs of strength in the quarter. Our industrial and commercial business continued its recovery, growing high single digits sequentially and double digits compared to the same period last year as design win ramps and smart metering and shipments to electronic shelf labeling customers maintain their momentum. While the overall macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, we expect to outperform the market given our leadership position in high growth markets and a multi-year history of share gains. As we look at the current quarter and the balance of the year, our conversations with customers and distribution partners indicate that we have no reason to change our forecast due to the dynamics of global trade policy at this point. Our outlook for sequential and year-over-year growth into Q2 is based on continued linear improvement in our bookings patterns and progress on new program ramps in secular growth areas like connected healthcare, smart home, commercial retail, and global metering deployments. Additionally, supply chain diversification is an area we focused on for several years, including as part of the roadmap for our next generation Series 3 platform. Our current footprint is not significantly affected by the shifting geopolitical landscape, although it's too early to quantify the potential indirect impacts of tariffs on global economic demand. We have not yet seen any significant impact on our customers' forecasts. Our team is focused on delivering innovative products that reinforce our breadth, depth, and singular focus on the IoT space. This includes our latest Series 2 device, the BG29 family of Bluetooth Low Energy SoCs designed to bring industry-leading performance, battery life, security, and increased memory capacity to the smallest form factor Bluetooth devices. The BG29 family represents a breakthrough in our ability to bring highly differentiated technology to connected healthcare applications, including blood glucose monitors as well as other wearable health devices. We also introduced our new BG22L and BG24L SoCs optimized for common Bluetooth applications. Notably, these devices bring the most competitive combination of security, processing power, and connectivity for high-volume, low-power applications, including asset tracking and small appliances. The BG24L SoC also supports advanced AI/ML acceleration and the latest in Bluetooth channel sounding, ideal for radio-congested areas like warehouses, smart cities, and residential apartment complexes. Additionally, our recently announced Series 2 multi-protocol SoC, the MG26, is now generally available, accelerating developers' path to designing future-proof Matter devices in smart home and commercial applications like LED lighting, switches, sensors, and locks. The MG26 also sets a new standard for concurrent Bluetooth and 15.4 wireless performance alongside best-in-class security, as well as for machine learning capabilities that enhance performance for critical tasks like predictive maintenance, anomaly, and keyword detection. As Matter continues to pull thread technology into the mainstream, we are seeing our 15.4 design win momentum accelerate. This reinforces our view that we are well aligned with the increasing Matter adoption as both the leader in Thread technology and trusted partner to internet security providers and ecosystem partners who are building out our Matter infrastructure. Finally, at our Analyst Day, I was pleased to announce that our first Series 3 device, which was sampling last year, is now ramping to production. Series 3 will continue its broader alpha sampling this year, and we're already seeing strong design win momentum with the first device, which is a testament to the great execution of the Silicon Labs team. While we believe Series 3 will be even more impactful than our Series 2 over a longer time horizon, as we further expand our addressable market in Wi-Fi, compute, and AI inference, our ability to offer our customers both Series 2 and Series 3 in parallel with code compatibility between the two platforms is a significant competitive differentiator for us. In conclusion, even amid trade uncertainty, we're highly confident in our ability to deliver sequential growth fueled by linear improvements in our order patterns and continued new product ramps across our business units. Looking ahead, we're well positioned to outperform based on our expanding presence in growing markets, differentiated product portfolio, and continued share gains. Now I'll hand it over to Dean for the financial update. Dean? Thanks, Matt. Good morning to everyone. I will review the financial results for our recently completed quarter, followed by a discussion of our current outlook. Revenue for the March quarter was $178 million, + 7% sequentially and in line with the midpoint of our prior guidance. Year-over-year, consolidated revenue was + 67%. In our industrial and commercial business, March quarter revenue was $96 million, + 8% sequentially and + 47% from the same period last year. Sequentially, the growth was driven by better-than-forecasted customer ramps in smart metering and continued electronic shelf label market growth. Home & Life, March quarter revenue was $82 million, + 5% sequentially and nearly doubling with a year-over-year growth rate of 99%. As we anticipated, the sequential increase in Home & Life was driven by strength in smart home applications and shipments to connected health customers. Sell-through at our distribution partners continued to gain momentum, with channel inventory decreasing by eight days to end at 48 days, which is down from 56 days in the prior quarter. This marks a new low level of channel inventory and is well below our targeted level of about 70-75 days. Distribution made up approximately 66% of our revenue mix for the quarter. March quarter gross margins saw positive improvements as long-tail channel sales and industrial applications benefited our mix. GAAP gross margin was 55%. Non-GAAP gross margin was 55.4%, which was up from the prior quarter, above the midpoint of our prior guidance, and ahead of our forecasted progression. GAAP operating expenses were $130 million, which includes share-based compensation of $20 million and intangible asset amortization of $5 million. Non-GAAP operating expense of $105 million reflects the normal uptick of the company's annual merit cycle and reset of the employee bonus programs. GAAP operating loss was $32 million, and non-GAAP operating loss was $7 million. During the quarter, we recorded a GAAP tax charge of approximately $2 million. Our non-GAAP tax rate remained 20%. GAAP loss per share was $0.94. Non-GAAP loss of $0.08 per share beat the midpoint of our guidance by $0.01. Turning to the balance sheet, we ended the quarter with $425 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. Our days of sales outstanding was approximately 30 days. During the quarter, we further reduced our internal inventory by $22 million, ending the quarter at $83 million of net inventory, which contributed to our positive operating cash flow of $48 million for the March quarter despite operating losses. Days of inventory on hand improved to 94 days, another sequential improvement from 125 days at the December quarter end. I want to thank our supply chain team here at Silicon Labs for having successfully guided our internal inventory balance to our targeted level, and you should now expect to see an uptick in working capital deployment as we maintain these levels to support the ramp of new customer designs throughout 2025. Speaking of supply chains, we have completed a review of our supply chain and find that there is almost no direct impact to us under the current tariff rules as we know them today. Given our wide berth of customers and applications, there are likely to be varying degrees of potential impacts to customers. The two outstanding questions are: one, what will the indirect impact of demand be when we are able, and when will we be able to measure that? Two, will the tariff rules change either positively or negatively as we go forward? As it stands today, our order patterns from customer bookings and distribution POS showed sequential improvement in the first quarter and have maintained this trajectory quarter to date into the June quarter. An indication to us that our end markets are progressing in their cyclical recovery. Additionally, our end customer surveys continue to report that excess inventory is not currently a concern. We are encouraged by these positive trends entering Q2, and as such, our confidence in above-market growth this year remains intact, anchored by new product ramps rather than on a reliance of robust end market demand. We anticipate revenue in the June quarter to be in the range of $185 million-$200 million, which at the midpoint would imply 32% year-over-year growth and an 8% sequential growth. Importantly, we have not witnessed any significant customer pull-ins and have kept our forecasting methodology consistent with prior quarters. We remain confident that Silicon Labs will outperform the broader semiconductor market this year despite the shifting trade dynamics given our unique new program ramps. With improved mix of industrial applications and channel strength, we expect the gross margin improvements in the June quarter with both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins to be in the range of 55%-57%. We expect GAAP operating expenses in the June quarter to be in the range of $129 million-$131 million. We expect non-GAAP operating expenses to modestly increase in the June quarter driven by full quarter accounting of payroll-related items, including the company's bonus plans and annual merit cycle, resulting in an expected range of $106 million-$108 million. Finally, GAAP loss per share is expected to be in the range of $0.55-$0.95 loss on an assumed basic share count of 32.7 million shares. Non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.19 to a loss of $0.01 on an expected diluted share count of 33 million shares. That wraps up our prepared remarks. I'd like to now hand the call back over to the operator to start the Q&A session. Operator? Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, please press star one one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press star one one again. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from Christopher Rolland of Susquehanna. Your line is open. Hey, guys. Thanks for the question and congrats on the results here. I guess there is obviously some uncertainty in the back half here. You guys seem pretty comfortable around it and the variability there. How are you thinking about the September quarter after a little bit of June upside here or perhaps just how the second half is shaking up overall? Yeah, I'll start there, Christopher. First, we're only guiding a quarter at a time. I think the pieces that are important to think through, and some of them were covered in the prepared remarks, everything that we look at or see, whether it's customer forecasts, bookings, billings, inventory level at our customers, at our distributors, all these things are behaving very well linearly and as expected. Right now, there's not anything out there to indicate that there's a big shift coming, which is important. Obviously, we're being hyper-vigilant, watching all these things all the time, as I think the rest of the industry is. The other thing that's really important as you're thinking through this, as we've said consistently, we're not looking for broad market strength to drive this year for us. We're looking for the performance this year to really come from the design win ramps that we've been talking about, and that's what we're seeing here. We're encouraged by that, happy to see the ramps. They're not singular, they're broad, and that's really what's driving our growth, not a broad market recovery right now. Great. Thanks so much, Matt. I believe you thought maybe last quarter that Home & Life would outperform INC, but it seems like there was more I&C strength than Home & Life. It was kind of flipped. Perhaps you can talk about what was kind of unexpectedly good and bad between the segments and how they shook out. Yeah, I do not know that there was necessarily unexpected, good, or bad. A little bit of timing changed maybe between the two of them. I would note that on a year-over-year basis, our Home & Life business was almost double, + 99%, and the industrial commercial is + 47%. I think our expectation is, hey, could I&C grow that fast given sort of the sequential change that it had of about 8%-9% in the quarter? The metering business, which we have said before, India specifically, that business has been ramping faster than what we have historically seen. I think we were a little cautious whether that was able to continue, and that metering business continues to ramp and actually ramping better than we originally anticipated, Chris. Thank you very much, Dean. Appreciate it. Yep. Thank you. Our next question comes from Thomas O'Malley of Barclays. Your line is open. Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. My first one's just on inventory in the channel. So you guys have obviously worked that down pretty significantly. I think you said 48 days of inventory in channel versus a target of 70 days. When you look at your June guidance, what's your target for channel inventory there? Are you going to refill that or take that to new high levels? Just given the stronger demand environment, I'm curious what the strategy is for June. Yeah, Tom, the general expectation for the June quarter, we do not want to end June again at 48 or, heaven forbid, even lower. I think if we look at the way that we're running our forecasts, we would expect the channel forecast to come back above 50 days for the quarter, but certainly below 60. I think low 50 is probably where it will likely stand when we forecast into June. Eventually, we want to drive it back to the target level, 70-75 days. That is a multi-quarter progression. I would not expect to see us fill the channel in the June quarter. Really, we're almost hand-to-mouth in a lot of these smaller long-tail customers, but you won't see any big step-up progression, at least the way that we see it today, Tom. Helpful. You guys have talked for a long time now about specific company wins driving the growth versus broad market recovery. For just context, can you help us understand, as a percentage of your revenue today, how much kind of in the March quarter and the June quarter, maybe if that snapshot is easier, is new product versus stuff that you would deem broad-based product? Can you try to walk us through what the pricing difference is between some new products and something that you would sell on a broad-based? I understand it needs to be probably loose commentary, but I think that'd be some helpful perspective just given how focused you are there. Sure. This is Matt. I'll take a shot at that. I mean, quick answers, easy way to think of it. We do not break out the total revenue that way, but I can say a majority of the incremental revenue you are seeing is definitely coming from those new ramps. That is a very easy way to think of it. On pricing, not meaningfully different. In fact, I think you are seeing our gross margins progress each quarter, even with this new ramp growth. Not meaningfully different. We see a path to being able to drive sequential revenue growth on design win ramps and sequential gross margin progression as well. Hopefully, the sum of those two things gives you the full picture. Thank you. Our next question comes from Tore Svanberg of Stifel. Your line is open. Yes, thank you. And congrats on the results. Matt, I think in the past we've talked about especially three new segments, potentially each one representing 10% of revenues this year. I think we're talking about the shelf label, glucose meter, and smart meter. Are things sort of still tracking towards that number? Yeah. Big picture, Tore, those are the three areas we've talked about the most, and we're seeing good progress in all three is the quick answer. One thing that we covered at our analyst day that I'd also like to reinforce, not backing off of those three areas at all, those are going to be growth engines for us for many, many years to come. We also have introduced additional growth engines such as Matter. We mentioned that Wi-Fi is growing 40% for us, BLE growing 80%. Both of those represent significant share gains. We're really starting to see AI/ML start to increase as well. Quick answer is those areas are going well. You heard Dean mention maybe a little faster than expected in areas like metering in India. We're also seeing additional growth vectors come online as well. The combination is what's giving us that confidence to say we see a path to outperform the market and drive this growth independent of how this all plays out with tariffs. Tore, let me just give you one quick modification on a quantified number. You said 10% across all three. We had previously said the blood glucose is expected to be a 10% application. We had not quantified the other two, just so you have the right data point. 10% for one of them, not all three combined. Got it. No, that's fair. My follow-up question is on Series 2 and Series 3. Obviously, Series 3 is still very, very small. First of all, is Series 2 now more than half of revenues? How should we think about ASP increases as Series 3 starts to ramp more meaningfully? Yeah. We haven't broken out the Series 2 specific, but it's an increasingly larger and larger piece of the total revenue. It's what's driving the incremental growth you're seeing. All these design win ramps right now we're talking about are Series 2 ramps, which is worth pointing out. As I mentioned in our analyst day, we have shipped over a billion units in Series 2 lifetime to date. We've secured or won five or six billion more units that we'll be shipping in the coming years and quarters. There's still a lot more to come out of Series 2. At the same time, we've already started production shipments on Series 3. To answer your question on ASPs and expectations there, content's higher with increased wireless performance, increased compute, AI/ML, more memory scalability. I would expect overall higher ASPs on Series 3, Tore. The most important thing for people to take away, Series 2 is doing just fantastic in the marketplace and still has a lot to go. Series 3, our goal is to meaningfully outperform Series 2. We are liking what we are seeing right now. We are already ramping production with a lot of products to follow. That combination of current gen, next gen, just bringing what it brings, we like our positioning is the best way to say it. Excellent. Thank you for that color. Thank you. Our next question comes from Cody Acree of The Benchmark Company. Your line is open. Thanks, guys. Thanks for my questions and congrats on the progress. Maybe if you can just give me a bit of a split for your expectations for the June quarter between your Home & Life and industrial and commercial. Yeah, Cody, we expect that the mix between those will probably be pretty consistent over the last couple of quarters. Last quarter to a first order, it landed industrial commercials about 55% and Home & L ife about 45%. That has been plus or minus a 1% or 2% for the last sort of three quarters in a row. I would expect that to also be the case as we go into the June quarter. It is going to depend a little bit as all these new programs ramp. We might be off a point here or there. To a first order, kind of 55, 45. Excellent. Thanks for the help. Maybe just back to the tariff situation. Can you just talk about some of those end markets, those end applications that you believe are more exposed to tariffs than others? I have a hard time thinking through your end application mix and finding a lot that have tariff sensitivity, but maybe I'm just missing something. Yeah. I think the quick and honest answer is it's difficult to answer because we really cover so much in terms of GOs and customers, applications, markets, etc. So extremely broad across tens of thousands, as we've said before. Maybe a way to abstract it up, and Dean just talked about it, we do have an industrial consumer split of around 45%, 55% for the industrial being the larger piece. That's one way to think about it. Big picture, we haven't found any one of our end markets or major markets that's uniquely susceptible or exposed to this, at least as they are presented and out there so far. Obviously, we'll keep watching that closely. It's dynamic. All right. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Our next question comes from Quinn Bolton of Needham & Company. Your line is open. Hey, guys. Let me offer my congratulations on the nice results and outlook. I wanted to follow up on the inventory question, Dean. Looks like you're going to modestly increase channel inventory in the June quarter. You said it would take several quarters to get back to the 70-75 day target. Is that something you would anticipate getting back to, say, by the end of the calendar year? Is that a good time frame for us to be thinking about when you would normalize or look to normalize channel inventory? I think that's without a stake in the ground directionally, right? I mean, I think the problem that we face, Quinn, is as POS continues to grow, as the channel outflow to the sales to all the sort of long-tail end customers, we're sort of chasing a catch-up, right? As outflow increases, inflow sort of needs to increase in addition to that. I think we are likely to pipeline material in there to slowly grow it over the next few quarters. Is it get to 70 by the end of the calendar year? Maybe. It could take a quarter or two longer than that. Just depends on how the POS side of that equation is going, if that makes sense, Quinn. Yeah. It sounds like it takes some time to stage the inventory on the way in. And if POS is better or worse than expected, that obviously affects inventory. Yeah, I think it makes sense. I guess, Matt and Dean, just a question. There continues to be sort of some chatter out there, sort of bottom of the cycle, that pricing continues to be pretty aggressive. You guys are showing nice margin expansion. It does not look like you are seeing any adverse effects from pricing. Just wondering if you could talk about what you are seeing in pricing on a like-for-like basis. I know the mix shift to Series 2 and Series 3 is a tailwind, but are you seeing fabbed competitors in particular get more aggressive with pricing sort of as we are near at the bottom of the cycle? Yeah. I guess it felt the quick answer on pricing is nothing has really changed. It has been consistent with what we have been seeing for a while now, where a lot of companies would like to have more revenue, and they are trying to use pricing to get more revenue. Have not seen that meaningfully move the needle at all in terms of share shifts or anything out there in our space. We obviously need to be competitive on pricing, but we thrive relative to our competition on differentiation, bringing features, performance, capabilities that no one else has. That is how we have a premium gross margin versus anyone we compete against. That is how we have been able to do, I think, exactly what we said we would do, which has been incrementally start working back our gross margin coming through the cycle. Quick answer is no meaningful change. I think the market's behaving as the market behaves and no change in what we've been saying or our expectations. Got it. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Joe Moore of Morgan Stanley. Your line is open. Great. Thank you. You sort of talked about customers. You have not seen any evidence of pull-ins. Seems like inventories are still under control. Can you talk about what those conversations are like? Because I just imagine we have seen two years of inventory leaning out, and now we are dealing with on-again, off-again tariffs all over the world. It seems like if I were running your customer's business, I would want to hold more inventory. I would want to build ahead of some of that. You can just give us some sense of what the interaction with customers is like during all of this. Yeah, Joe. This is Matt. I think the quick answer is, and I'm not being wise about this, but fortunately, just having been through this inventory cycle, when those numbers are all fresh and we've been taking the inventory assessment of our end customers all along, and we hadn't stopped that. This has just been a continuation of coming out the other side of the inventory correction cycle. I think the fast way to answer what you're asking, no meaningful changes in end customer inventory, no one trying to build positions, that type of thing. What we do see is a lot of people saying the same thing, wondering what the trade policies will do over time, what will stick, what will go away, what the implications will be over time. The honest answer is no one knows. I think uncertainty is the easy way to define it. What that uncertainty has not done is driven behavior around inventory. We are watching that super close. That's very helpful. Thank you. I want to follow up. At the analyst day, you had talked about sources of inorganic growth that you would be willing to think about, larger M&A, things like that. How do you see that in the current environment? Are those deals more difficult to do in this kind of global tension, or just how are you thinking about that? Yeah. No change in our strategic desire there or direction. I think the quick answer is right now, there's just a lot of uncertainty around trade and where this will land and how it'll play out. Haven't seen any meaningful changes as a result of that. I think it's probably too soon to say. Okay. Great. Thank you. Thank you. I will now hand the call back to Giovanni Pacelli. Thank you, Deeedee. And thank you all for joining this morning and your interest in the company. Before concluding today's call, I would like to announce our upcoming participation in JPMorgan's 53rd Annual Global Technology, Media, and Communications Conference in Boston tomorrow, May 14th. We'll also be participating in Stifel's Cross-Sector Conference in Boston on June 4th and Baird's Global Technology Conference on June 5th in N.Y. City. Thanks again, and this concludes today's call. This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating, and you may now disconnect.
