Stacy Rasgon

my Hi, guys. for taking questions. Thanks

So think there Are you talked or supply into one, second supply my the sequentially second you trend first about trend improves. your half? like prioritizing particular half demand any where the that markets, like thinking just be you're markets worse? the supply about we kind spread you should revenues ramping end getting is of better Are trends end seeing? as how end any given market and in across Like incrementally

Kurt Sievers

think Stacy, short across are supply. we Hi, board continuously I the of

have two, So our applies revenue in When the gaps year that is the of qualify of segments. us. automotive, for case ahead between in continued see function If also and and of probably growth I it all I through those year, Stacy. we the speak supply situation is a say then this revenue And two we worst of indeed becoming that about least would largely available, I gradual a increase longer-term to say demand. biggest have would this in have supply and I continue to those so to four the that industrial at

more up. et supply cetera. external, a earlier, going the different of much supply supply question closer we it's discussed is to comes those in it year we So through as markets. it from coming what much is from up, where perspective. a signal different factories. something four are the ramping is that -- pattern the demand foundry is It's It isn't demand And internal It this

each quarter. and pretty it's it's not So also a the -- same

of demand qualify So year supply under I revenue, gradual perspective still all our cannot the revenue signal demand through the from is the anyway. by growth a segment the because

Stacy Rasgon

you. thank Thank you,

to want question. the less same my you're impact X% maybe in I what and COVID revisit from time, the quarter I heard So or prior But to situation, you a at China next like China. for calling said follow-up, overall

Why supply. You're versus demand maybe have you competitor know do like actually your not that revenues you was along nature, of the also I on demand were differences you that's to channel an a along those than of buffer be calling bigger lines revenue obviously the of the your you're are what that amount about How in in think demand region. that are be one but both so of driving talked the anything see seeing a seeing for that related. it of is I But differences not they terms of are? going into of XX% in you're bigger there in more others think them XX%. -- going into seeing think you Or lines could think your impact their some can issues, logistics issues is have you just the China? industry going given some just and Is actually of the you China. what

Kurt Sievers

strategies obviously, just situations and speculate cannot. I really specific one of speculate peers. or cannot don't about the Stacy, and want of to I more our

quarter this that rigor guide confidently we assure of very can sit lot been for environment. and for how put this I us obviously you However, of assessing because important safely it's this a attention and into to particular in a to lot question turmoiled understand

-- is customer situations with we the really very it order this do has have on to. books the this is we and particular talk to that with near Given patterns term, it

of a So I there, much the we bottom chapters this strategic know what because not competitors really analysis from figure about hold that policies And supply what weeks feel the we next line the I can't demand. And to don't all their really quarter. it exact this very the situation. are. Stacy. in.
