Earlier today, MPS released a written commentary on the results of its operations for the second quarter ended June 30th, 2026. This document can be found on our website.

Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone that in the course of today's presentation, we may make forward-looking statements and projections within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risk and uncertainties. The risk, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements are identified in the safe harbor statements contained in the Q2 2026 earnings commentary and in our SEC filings, including our Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, which can be found on our website.

Our statements are made as of today, and we assume no obligation to update this information. Now, I would like to turn the call over to Tony.

Thanks, Arthur. Good afternoon, and welcome to our Q2 2026 earnings call.

In Q2, MPS achieved record quarterly revenue of $981 million, 22% higher than the first quarter of 2026 and 48% higher than the second quarter of 2025. Our performance was the result of our continued innovation, our consistent execution, and the resilience of our diversified market strategy.

Let me take a few moments to call out a few of the highlights from the quarter. All end markets grew sequentially, with enterprise data growing 45% as we continued to see strong, broad-based ordering patterns.

We extended our capacity goals significantly beyond $6 billion to support future revenue growth and our transformation into a full solution provider. We received initial orders for high-speed DDR5 memory components, which we expect to grow our SAM into next year.

We began sampling high-voltage AC-to-DC products for 800-volt data center architectures as we expand beyond our current AI and server core power solutions. Finally, in our automotive market, so far this year, we have shipped products for over 1,500 new sockets as we increase our footprint in both ADAS as well as in other applications within the vehicle.

Overall, while we continue to adjust for the fluid geopolitical and macroeconomic environment, our diversified market strategy remains unchanged. MPS focuses on innovation and solving our customers' most challenging problems.

We consistently invest in new technologies that open new end markets and applications and accelerate our transition from chip-only to a full-service, silicon solution-based provider. Finally, we continuously expand and diversify our global supply chain, allowing us to capture future growth opportunities, maintain supply stability, and rapidly adapt to market changes as they occur.

Before moving to Q&A, I am also pleased to announce that our Board of Directors has authorized an additional $500 million for stock repurchases, increasing our total current authorization to $1 billion. Operator, you may now open the webinar for questions.

thank you. Congrats on the beat and raise, you guys.

I guess I don't have to ask about capacity, Tony. Communications was up 80%.

I think last quarter, it was up about 50% if memory serves. That's a pretty big step up.

I'm just curious, is that mostly transceiver power, or are you seeing meaningful contribution now from the other sockets? Switch, DPU, SmartNIC.

Has that kicked in? Is that helping drive that?

Then any color you can give on how the second half sets up. Does that momentum continue to grow into 3Q?

Hi, Rick. We see a lot of growth and a lot of demand.

Modules, chips, and we see from multiple of our customers. Tony, you want to add the detail?

I'll just add a little more color. Rick, you do see contribution from both optical module solutions as well as from what we generally bucketed as switches.

As I've mentioned previously, that's kind of a big bucket that would including power solutions for not only top-of-rack switches, but DPUs, NIC cards, and other things in the rack. You're starting to see that grow as well.

Optical still the bigger portion just because it's had a longer runway since last year, but you are seeing growth from both of those really driving the coms end market. Oh, thanks.

Then

as my follow-up, I'm just curious, I believe you're shipping 48-volt vertical power modules to a couple customers now. I don't know if you could update us on that.

Do you expect to add any more this year? Maybe a sense of what your expectations are for 48-volt vertical power mods in terms of maybe the mix versus VR this year?

Or next year, however you look at it. Thanks.

It's more than a couple of customers. We see new customers were coming on lines, and okay, and we start to ship.

I think over the long term, as power requirements continue to increase across our end markets, Rick, we've talked about the fact that modules and solutions will increasingly be an important part of our business. I think you'll see that trend continue over the next couple of years.

Thanks, you guys. Yeah.

Hey, guys. Thank you for taking my question, and let me echo the congrats on the fantastic results.

Maybe to start, you gained nearly $120 million in the enterprise data segment in one quarter, which is pretty astounding. Can you walk through the drivers of that upside and growth?

I think importantly, you had the inventory dynamics play out a couple years ago. Can you speak to your confidence that there's no inventory building here, and the overall visibility in that segment?

Thank you.

Thanks for remembering last couple of years. We have all these shortages in the industry, we pulled it off.

Thanks for remembering that. There's no reason not to believe we will not pull it off, although it is very difficult, okay, but we're going to make it happen.

I'll just add, if you look at kind of the underlying growth drivers for that particular end market, they really haven't changed from what we've talked about. We've talked about ramping existing customers, ramping new customers, seeing the module content increase per Rick's question previously, seeing platform refreshes that drive content, and then of course CPU.

We saw all of that be very very strong in Q2. I think since you're kind of talking about the sustainability of that, there's probably a couple of different ways, in addition to what Michael said.

Obviously, our channel inventory is one indicator, and that remains very low, we believe that's continuing to sell through over time. I think right now, based on what we can see, we're willing to raise the floor for that particular end market from 85% for the year to 130% for the year.

I want to add in this enterprise data centers, and it's a relatively new, and we start to see these significant business since about two, three years ago, three years ago starting. We don't have any concentrated customers, and pretty much we engage from a large to small.

That's where you see the revenue happen now. It will continue that way in the next year.

Thank you both for all the color. I will take the hint to not ask about AI servers again.

That said, I guess—

Thank you very much. [laughs]

Thank you, go ahead.

I know your policies, Michael. Great to see the initial orders for the DDR5 high-speed interface controller.

You mentioned that could be SAM expansive. Can you maybe help us with how much?

It does seem like quite a new capability for Monolithic. Are there other applications that you could use this technology for beyond memory controllers as well?

Thank you. Yeah.

Yes, this is new to us. This is a very high-speeds, into the gigahertz kind of things.

Very very precisions, okay, and pretty much is analog circuitry. We can expand the technology to other communications.

Now we establish know-how. These are true fundamental know-how, okay, and We want to get this one launched first, and then we will migrate to other applications.

In terms of the second part of your question, which was how expansive it could be, I'd still say we're very much early innings. We want to prove ourselves in this particular market, I think it's too early for us to call any kind of revenue ramp on our side.

We're just signaling that we continue to run our playbook and look for new sockets out there that can expand our overall SAM over time.

In the history, when we mention something, it will turn into revenue.

Thank you both, and congratulations again.

Yeah.

thank you, and let me echo the congratulations for another record quarter. How should we think about the segments for Q3?

It sounds like all markets are growing right now. Just wondering on a relative basis if you could give us some color on each segment into Q3.

I don't know it's all markets. Maybe Tony can point out some is not so good ones.

[laughs] I think the consumer one, we're kind of still lagging, okay, because of all the efforts that we focus on it, and the consumer market, it doesn't mean we give it up, okay. It will continue a very diversified way of growing our business.

As I talk about it in the past, MPS is transitioning from a chip company, a semiconductor company, to be a semiconductor-based solution providers, which sell solutions. Other segments, and automotive continue to grow, and other ones, communication side will continue to grow, and industrials kind of lagging a little bit, okay, but it doesn't mean we defocalize on them.

I'll just add a little bit. I think the story is going to feel pretty similar.

We're certainly being led by the data-centric businesses with enterprise data and coms, of course, leading the pack. I think industrials could grow a little bit with the market, but again, we've primarily said that's a design-win type year for us this year, where we continue to pile up additional sockets that will turn into revenue in the future.

I think the areas that we're cautious on are the ones Michael had pointed out. Then we'd said this last quarter as well, consumer being one, and then I think the notebook side of storage and compute will continue to remain cautious on that one as we go into the second half.

That's great color. As my follow-up, you mentioned you're now sampling the 800-volt solution.

When should we expect to see some revenues from Monolithic Power there? Are these products based on silicon, GaN, and silicon carbide, or is it one or the other?

Thanks.

In the past, Tore, and I always say I don't believe GaN, and okay, now I think it's proved I'm wrong. It's up to a point where we can't ignore GaN.

We, since last year, we develop our own GaN, and we'll have a working device. In terms of 800-volt solution, it's now we totally rely on MPS' own silicon carbide device.

Revenue-wise, probably you will know, and all the market will know where is the data center transition happened. When that happens, and we will have revenues.

In terms of when, and we don't know. We know as much as you know.

Great. Thank you very much.

Congrats again. Yeah.

Great. Thanks for taking my question.

I want to add my congrats to the fantastic results and outlook. I'm wondering if you could talk about whether pricing meaningfully influenced the sequential growth or the outlook in Q3.

I know what you means, whether we increase price or not, okay. MPS never gouge price when the supply chain is tight.

We want to build a consistent models or we execute consistently within our models. When supply chain is tight, okay, and raise price, how about we oversupplied, we reduce price?

We don't. We operate in a consistent weight, and our customers appreciate that.

In terms of whether it's due to the price increase, definitely is not. It's all products.

The only thing I would add to that at all is for us on pricing, it's been very consistent to Michael's point. We have raised some prices, but it's primarily been in kind of one of three areas in general, right?

Where we've seen input costs go up, to make sure that we don't get diluted on the margin line; where people are asking for expedites, because obviously that can influence our own supply chain; and then finally, where people might be asking for specific supply chains outside of China, which can be naturally more expensive. We maintain a very consistent approach to what you've heard previously as you look at our pricing.

That's really helpful. Michael, I want to shift for a second to some things that I think are closer to your interest, some of the smaller but emerging growth opportunities like robotics, humanoid robotics, and home automation or building automation.

Can you talk about your traction in those two emerging markets?

Thank you very much. [laughter] Speaking, a million square feet building is installing our building controls, okay?

I have to tell you, we're still lagging the softwares, okay. The hardware is all done, and with some minor revisions, but the software is the ease of use and how we implement it.

By the end of this years, we should be able to complete everything. There's a multiple of potential customers, they're waiting for us to install in their buildings.

I'm looking at that we're not in the market segment, but we're looking at this opportunity, to my surprise, it's about $40 to $50 billion. MPS has all the key product and technology.

The software is what we will build. That's again, you exactly talking about the topics that I working on.

Okay. The other one is robotics, okay.

The robotics, there's especially a lot of Chinese company shows a lot of entertainments, okay. We will see, okay.

We have all our designing solutions, they're all happening in U.S. side and also China side, and they're all using MPS solutions.

Now the next question is where the robot's going to be used, okay. From our own factory, and these are not humanoid robot, we use our own product to improve, especially the modules not the production, the testing, and also the reliability test.

We use our own motion controls and robotics, and it's same as equivalent to a robots, and to make all these thing happens. Our customers is actually our suppliers to our own automations.

They will use those solution sold everywhere else.

Thank you.

Hey, guys. I'll offer my congratulations as well.

Tony or Michael, just wanted to come back to the optical transceiver part of the business since I think that's the biggest part of coms. Can you just sort of discuss what you're seeing on the competitive landscape?

Is competition mostly PMICs? Is it mostly discrete DC-to-DC converters from folks like TI or Analog Devices?

Then can you give us any sense what you think your share might be for power management within those optical transceivers? Then I've got a follow-up.

That's a very boring topics. [laughter] Okay.

That's over last few years, we talk about power modules, okay. I think you realize those very early on, okay.

It's more than five years ago now, okay. We have these power modules, okay, and very high power density modules.

These are in encapsulated modules. Since we have highest power density ICs, okay, fully integrated, and into these modules with inductors, and with all the capacitors.

Is a total power solutions, plug-in power solutions in a very small form factor. I say that with straight face, we are the highest power density company in the world now.

I don't know about optical market segment, as long as we provide the best power densities, we will win all these sockets, and including optical modules.

As far as the share comment goes, obviously, we don't talk about specific customers, but certainly, I think if you look at the overall market, there's still room for us to grow. I think just net of both the TAM growth and share, I think it can absolutely be a primary growth driver in the coms segment going forward.

I don't think we can actually quote the exact percentage of share at this time. Okay.

You certainly still see share gain opportunities in that market, it sounds like.

I think at some customers, we definitely absolutely would see additional opportunity to gain share in some of the sockets. I think the net of this is that within the coms segment between TAM and share, there's still a very substantial growth opportunity ahead of us.

Great. Then I guess just coming back to the capacity support, in the past, I think when you went from $2 billion to $4 billion, you talked about the incremental capacity largely coming from outside of China.

As you've now built capacity up to and beyond $6 billion, can you give us some sense what the geographic split of that capacity is? Is it fairly balanced between China and non-China?

Does it lean one way or the other?

It's not settled down yet. We now do depend on our customers' requirements.

At this time, wherever they always need, okay, it goes, okay. Wherever we can provide the products, okay, and they will buy it, okay.

We build a very balanced approach. What is the percentage in the end, it's difficult to call now.

The only thing I'd add on that is, when you just quote a total number, it sometimes gets lost in the detail, but I think we've been increasingly focused not just on the foundry side of the business, but also the back-end part of the business, because as Michael alluded to, modules and solutions are becoming increasingly important, and so that's actually more complicated back-end process as well. As we look to bring on new partners and look to bring them on in a geographically balanced way, that goes for both the front end and the back end.

Understood. Thank you.

Especially our module assembly is more difficult. It's a 3D aspect in fact.

It's a more complicated than you assemble a phone, even. It requires a lot of experiment and then a lot of know-how.

To getting all these modules. We now expand to and anywhere in the world so we'll find these equipments and these capabilities to make it happen.

Thanks for taking the questions. Was wondering if maybe you could just kind of give us an update on how you're thinking about automotive demand through the second half of this year.

You talked about 1,500 new design sockets or sockets year to date. Just how we should think about the ramp of revenue from those new wins as well.

I think the year's still playing out pretty much as expected, and just to repeat what we've said in the past, we thought the first half would be flat with the second half ramping up, and I think we feel pretty comfortable with that second-half overall ramp. I think where we land on a year-over-year basis, we're still thinking the end market can be in the mid-teens kind of year over year.

The one thing about the ramp that gives us additional confidence is that it's very broadly based. It's not isolated to one or two customers, to what Michael was talking about and sort of diversification that we look for in all of our end markets right now.

We called out the 1,500 specifically to show that that's not just very much focused on ADAS, which has been a historical strength for us, but we continue to see a broadening out in the portfolio for other sockets in the vehicle.

We focus on these like zonals, the 48-volt systems, and also we address the battery side, okay, and lidar. These are the emerging market and emerging requirements from automotive.

I think that in the next few years, they all will be, okay, and installed in the car and we'll see very popular. On the market, and now we see MPS revenue growth.

Thanks. Thanks for that.

Then as a follow-up, I think last quarter, you talked about plans to enter the RCD market and starting to sample with customers. Just curious any update in terms of how that's going.

We are samplings, okay, and we are still developing, okay, a lot of new product. This is very new to us.

We're confident that will be turning to revenue, although we have some revenue now, okay.

Just to keep it from a model basis, That's not going to be a needle-mover in 2026 for us, right, in terms of revenue. Yep.

Thank you.

thank you. Good evening.

I guess the first question is an update on where CPU server power stands right now. I know that you guys have gained a lot of share over the years on that.

That market is heating up because of agentic CPU. How impactful has that been to the ED segment, and where do you see that going as you go into the end of the year into next year?

Thanks, Chris. Let me start, and then Michael and Rob can jump in as well.

I think one of the things is we've been talking about it for, gosh, close to a year, that CPU has been one of the growth drivers for us in enterprise data. It's something that has been, and I think will continue to be, a part of the overall growth story.

To the extent that agentic AI drives further CPU growth, that will continue to be a tailwind for us. As it's difficult for us to separate sometimes a pure AI sale from a CPU sale, it's a little difficult for us to parse them specifically.

If we start to see some of the forecasts come to play that you've seen from some others in the industry, we think that could be an additional growth factor for us even going forward. From a share perspective, again, I think we'll probably pass on specific share.

I think we're very broadly indexed across both x86 and ARM players, and so no matter who wins in that race, we think we can participate.

I think I answered your question one times in terms of, okay, what is the percentage. At the time, in the CPU side, we want to get in the CPU market market segment.

I think that I was asked what the share market shares we want to be, okay. I I mentioned in the earnings call that if it's lower than 30%, I call a failure, okay.

I think that we're comfortably say now is that we're past that. That's that's where the good position we are in now, and we'll continue that.

Thank you for that. As a follow-up, maybe a bit of a longer-term question, and maybe as we look out, say over the next two years, two-plus years, enterprise data has been the fastest-growing part of your business because it's been the fastest end market.

Do you expect that to continue to be the case? I know, Michael, you like to run a diversified business, but that end market is just growing so quickly.

I guess maybe the question is, is the growth in that end market enterprise data make it more difficult to diversify the business?

Good questions. Okay.

We never focus on any market segments. We provide picks and shovels and blue jeans.

As long as we're making these are best of it, we will win those segments. We are not really a gold diggers, okay, out there to find out, okay, the empty mountains, okay.

We don't do that kind of things. We just provide the best elements, okay, for other people to succeed.

One times, automotive was big, okay, and other times, consumer was big, okay. We let the market demands, okay, to decided that.

As long as we focus on the fundamental development, I think that we will win the very long terms. A clear example was a couple years ago, the AIs, okay, and go sideways, okay, or enterprise data went sideways, even dropped slightly, okay.

That year, all the other business grew tremendously, including automotives. That's exactly what we want to see, okay.

We want to provide to our investors, okay, a very consistent way of grow MPS.

Even in last Q2, right, outside of enterprise data, the rest of the businesses saw double-digit growth. I understand your comment on what TAM might be growing faster, but you can see you're still seeing pretty substantial growth outside of ED.

Thank you.

Hi. Good evening.

Based on these strong and broad-based ordering patterns you guys have, may I know how much visibility do you have in the enterprise data end market? I was wondering if you can provide any color as to how 2027 outlook could look like based on the design wins, visibility, expected product ramps, or elaborate on any incremental revenue opportunities and ramp within that segment?

I'll start on that one. I think, in general, 2027's a bit far away.

We're still trying to land 2026. I think to answer the first part of your question in the visibility, again, the longer-term ordering patterns that we saw begin even late last year have really maintained.

Our book-to-bill this cycle was again well above 1. We do have more than a quarter-type visibility like we were dealing with maybe midway through 2025.

That doesn't mean we necessarily have visibility all the way out to the end of 2027, though. I think the way I would address that is I think the underlying structural growth drivers haven't really changed, right?

We have best of breeds in the current density and modules. You see more and more of our end markets adopting those high-current density modules for their applications, and we continue to win new sockets.

I think our ability to continue to grow into '27 is still structurally very sound, but I think it's too early to put a number on it.

Here is that the true demand is determined by the market. We don't want our customers to end it up a lot of wasteful inventories.

At the same times, we will watch us. Our own inventory, we will end it up a lot of inventory we cannot sell.

We clearly balance that. What is the forecast, we don't do, okay, even though we have NCNR, okay.

We don't shove into our customers' throat. That is a bad relationships.

Our relationship is very long terms. Although the order booking is very good, as Tony said it, okay, but we don't see the business in that way.

We do things swiftly according to our customer demand.

Got it. Also, with that strong revenue outlook, could you help us think about gross margin and OpEx trajectory?

It seems that you guys are landing somewhat below your long-term OpEx guidance right now.

We're in the models, okay. We're still in the models, although in the low end, okay.

I said I would be happier, okay, or higher. I said I wasn't happy, okay.

Look at this, okay. We focus on growing the revenue and growing the net profit, EPS.

That's the key reason. The other one is nobody want us to have a high gross margins lack of a growth, okay.

Nobody want us to do that. Our shareholder doesn't want us to do that, certainly, okay.

We focus on this, okay. Gross margins I said it, okay.

We will figure out, okay, we'll grow higher. Certainly, okay, in the near futures, we probably stay similar, maybe slightly higher, okay.

Hi, Kelsey. This is Rob.

I'll add to what Michael was saying and onto what Tony was saying about the strong order levels which continued into Q2 give us the ability to incrementally expand our guidance on gross margin again, just slightly, but it's there. As Michael said, we're at the low end of where we want to be, but we're feeling comfortable about where we're at for Q3.

Kelsey, the last part of your question was a little bit on OpEx, and I think, in general, we haven't changed any of our thesis around how we're trying to invest for the future. I think what you see is when you get to higher levels of revenue, it's difficult to keep the levels of spending up to that model, and so you see some additional leverage as you pull through to operating margin.

I think you've seen pretty healthy expansion in operating margin over the past couple of quarters.

Got it. Thank you.

Thanks for taking the questions, and congrats on a great quarter here. It's great to see the momentum across the business.

AI data center is clearly a strong tailwind for the enterprise data business, also in communications, and a little bit even in storage and compute. If I start to add up all these segments, you're looking at a data center exposure that's approaching roughly 50%.

Is that the right way to think about it across your different end markets?

I think you're picking the right components as you go in there, right? Obviously, the optical module business, the switch business can be pulled toward data center, all of enterprise data, and then remember, inside of storage, you really kind of have three big sub-buckets: DDR5, HDD, and SSD.

HDD and SSD, I think over time, are becoming increasingly enterprise-focused, whereas at one point they might have been more consumer-based. We haven't broken out storage and compute versus notebook in there, but I think you're picking the right components as you look at those things that could ride some of the healthy demand pulled through by data center right now.

Great. Maybe just as a quick follow-up on the incremental supply capacity that you're bringing online, is any of that on newer-node processes like 40-nanometer, or is that mostly on existing 65-nanometer solutions?

I think it's mostly existing, okay, and we're talking about sometimes and from now on, okay, we have to increase all these capacities. Again, Tony said this is not only about the silicon, the wafers, okay.

We're building systems. That changes the capacities, okay, of the by silicon only, okay, and we have been on this journey since 2017.

All the procurement, vendor qualification, component qualification, we became mature. Now, okay, we have to pull some more new tricks in the next year or so to increase all these capacities, okay.

Right, right.

Would you say it's the worst or the hardest to increase capacity over the last 10 years that you've seen?

It's different periods, different times, okay, and qualify vendors, okay, and in the silicon side, we have a lot of experience, okay, and you move up to a systems, how you assemble all these systems, and how you qualify all these vendors, and how you going to take your loss. It's a completely different models that we have to operate on it.

I would say we become a lot more mature, and there's a lot more room to go, okay. A lot more improvement to go.

Got it. Great.

Thank you so much.

thank you, operator, and thank you all for joining us for the conference call today. Look forward to speaking with all of you for our next call for our third quarter 2026 results.

Thank you again, and have a nice day.
