Dr. Vinciarelli continued, "Despite challenging conditions, our outlook is bright. The 12V to 48V transition in datacenter and automotive applications is underway and we are winning every demanding AI ASIC application with lateral or vertical Power-on-Package solutions.  Our domestic business is healthy, customer design activity with Advanced Products is robust, and our opportunity pipeline across major segments continues to expand. In coming weeks, we expect to close the purchase of land abutting our Andover manufacturing facility to facilitate capacity expansion. Our outlook for the second half reflects steady demand for Brick Products and a resumption of strong demand for Advanced Products from an expanding list of AI applications for which there is no viable competitive alternative."
