Operator

Certainly.

be Capital Markets. The now question-and-answer first session. is Northland Brooks [Operator will question from the from We conducting Instructions] Bobby

Robert Brooks

last there specifically on So discussion the healthy call, of emerging was EV but within also amount a AI, and space. within opportunities,

be these also long you fast. from I are moving helpful it So within to like stuff cycles, about understand would is think that. but that any my color quite sales perspective, seems AI hear

sales So am could cycles I shorter? those right in thinking become that

Daniel Bernstein

exciting biggest do I opportunities Bobby. we as question. see be the Thanks, appreciate space AI obviously, we as Power will in well. of said world. -- that, as Yes. segment more our are We the We're previously, that seeing beneficiary the

talked of call is, have of been products, AI most the sophistication for it, previously we and our that about high things the complexity the of part. ready, level given they've One

So think that, as a using the of bit a as the the that's networking there result in about of channel. a preference some we is little product of destocking, to

inbounds our in. And year out as XXXX. new So on from and to go is we do on tend expect opportunities come where and we're or really those definitely play in, we coming seeing sequential into the the we heading the through what new focus AI customers growth

-- out is We a we're So a it takes some we're channel and it, optimistic but we're about real position a toehold. think take little of especially playing seeing a our thing, where as and the that. bit there, it clears while, will a

Lynn Hutkin

on the Bobby, side. I add can space just And

So revenue grow. there continues to

in we're $X expecting be picking space in lighter million looking then little year-to-date So for XXXX, revenue into our to an And back in still full On basis, it QX for million. $X.X 'XX, and applications QX. was year up $X.X QX at estimate a it's a million.

So still the place. for $X year million full on

Robert Brooks

you on And several then fourth with the stepping call, initiatives European guys conference force. growth kind of focused quarter sales back little along a sales revamped more, the listed

announcing call. So kind any we're learned? you growth-focused Curious several it, initiatives just those lessons hear, any color in talked them. after the any into on months to about of that fourth from conference results those early Or quarter

Daniel Bernstein

X that did Again, to positively. to when of I very the didn't early it beneficial. hit it with the them first get most very improvement. they compensation surprised they the targets, see bonus quarters, going in of though incentive But too think it's believe salespeople I'm because even the state we're they sales still their majority didn't that very receive find program And to the be

since I something came seeing are activity opportunities really activity, is seen new and So in sign. past. motivated good Europe a substantial more just lot this with think a that the have lot structure are with we Sabine we a level And quality more aboard, that the in they great

Farouq Tuweiq

are bit in the seeing a challenging on as we say right? Europe, and as our could that, down looking U.S., early bright But double-click be some system, forward I So and all the maybe market, are to that will a optimistic. And think Bobby, to. Asia, what things X I regions; flush out well, spots little we're markets I signs of Dan's to calm think point,

Robert Brooks

And one me. then last for

So that you supplier. the on a on of Chinese good guys it trade amount color gave restriction

was could quarter one with guess that So wondering guidance. I the of on if kind we I double-click was thing third

this new that, is from that? $X did that to the the said you take? market initially you how when this that, cost -- a administration took view And the X should to when did So essentially, assume yes, you're see conservative so right supporting this -- order Biden in that, saying million -- quarter how mean in or right would made I'm any that just -- million quarter, assume margins of to supplier, on from that to sales be when going supplier million that a in supplier long am saying that. Does that -- And say color more that more? to end to $X was on that long I executive that's essentially supplier going and the consumer going into lower new found I guidance out high, I probably goes million was, like kind like for $X that $X to backing am to be, you

Daniel Bernstein

Yes.

-- settled bit not the So cycles, right? left once easy and inventory approach. shipped the no things, confusion little uplift re-quals be over, And take goes we it's little are early a was taking side really you right, lot to some right, allowed that see requalified. the a replacement the things know, aggressively. to might there. But will. get time may conservative of through these a little we as being in there of Generally, be And given identify -- and takes is as things bit going it things retested have working our And out. allowed, that we bit it's kind and take you orders, there pretty in side what's design over of as obviously, a QX, on so these you came of what's and mandate that. or not as some go of through timelines, In new we've where things different because So all a recertification the of in if shifting days,

dollar side. decent becomes you through suppliers of identified, in on spend everything that we're iteration think, the re-qual So customer fast of but question as have not yet, some going market how all maybe because we get amount. it to a a can that I going for understanding, be the there's And

we're bit restrictions quarter. that but in the that inbound no little And something pleasantly a of we can we just that's to going be So sales a we're let's then on here have trade to want we view want the take make maybe just to really said, for. Again, are serious, of saying, up to not kind sure surprised upside, things. we so sign of all

little is it a view. a So conservative bit of

shocking. to but hate phone, it will I say be the on this

market XX think this been we a for is I the this seen price pressure. very involved time I've haven't over that -- little first years, is and down in

asking is you still to decrease time. price difficult supply. think back everybody focus on a very push It's I when for orders same trying your the at

out, does think pricing focus this XX in at is then become do get the cut it hasn't market, down on that seen available. then I lead pressures. the months, inventory really any memory But time haven't and the there's overt a So we and been if my on again, price been first loose stretched increases all. the times pricing for It's management.

Farouq Tuweiq

you'll have healthier up, And doing been facility pick of work cost of those that's volumes we've as obviously, around some that doing a been right, doing. right, lot we been environment, have work and in we pressures. kind why more the a the get Jim, of management

couple obviously, The different should of that, businesses other not to the we call been themselves expect it, from half products after think, yet. we're to we're there to in parts I little potential business, and years, is, but point, have our outcomes. better approaching lending going a do But thing Dan's the of new see in I perspective mindset say a and last,

James Ricchiuti

Fair I I'm experience does we what what cycle like, question, I guess isâ€¦ look was as -- the different given guess asking enough. some in signs And recovery? that mean, I the see when your cycles, of

Daniel Bernstein

James Ricchiuti

Yes.

Daniel Bernstein

Hendi next question Gabelli The Funds. is Susanto from from

to follow-up I question. would Jim's like So

think And I go months? that. X of pushback another it I to from is my want interpretation. is that So

Daniel Bernstein

you any when they months. you if they a X But anybody, with mill of give always But It there, could line. X be ask could it I know know year. the answer they it. put in I -- I can No, in is It's come if is standard it pat the but don't if think know. up my credibility. they put It's kind That's a answer don't just and this just has don't months, the that the credence be line point. the checks any out this

Hendi Susanto

do terms positives Dan, like further, feel markets? happen say, it happens, ofâ€¦ do where to I And, when products, let's is different see, you different more do among you that may And there's you Like feel if ask be mixed somewhat where more recovery do the negative? in end

Daniel Bernstein

I networking market than down down customers. our networking think in hit markets us really -- other more the the area, really any

Hendi Susanto

then networking? how concentrated in And

Daniel Bernstein

Networking, networking comes. which to go a lot also. but It's customers of they out our distribution, distribution

Farouq Tuweiq

it obviously can getting networking. be are our and biggest right, I on. both where we're those them -- And I X So are distribution think just of hit think markets,

Hendi Susanto

under-shipping the end they are demand? then And

Farouq Tuweiq

Can you little bit? that on a expand

Hendi Susanto

distribution, the and are end networking there? or than under-shipping shipping your lower customers in So like demand

Farouq Tuweiq

would I the that's not think case.

I demand. think they to will ship meet

Daniel Bernstein

No.

I think they demand. the to they're using meet have inventory still

So less. they until don't lot have don't their they to down get They orders inventory have to a place new sell inventory. over

Farouq Tuweiq

right? will inventory we significantly. view -- pretty look what down have is And at, Hendi, levels, coming So we been inventory and levels our is

why a But more does it kind saying, patterns. we we've So bottomed few get view. little we back of do been the when that's rate regular feel quarters like we -- and that to feel it's last hold out and continue to

but inventory So to of they're not question. think tend on things -- we anybody we their focus the to customers is levels, that's if don't kind sending

Hendi Susanto

about has freeing should internal Bel internal been for Fuse up inventories, I lowering further your much then And think we its Bel Fuse inventories? working How lowering capital. down think and

Daniel Bernstein

things. Yes. sales that to healthier environment, probably trying on influencing would with So so we right? and address to of something a of little quite -- like the a say I We're could a side that's focus But little influence. we're bit those little it's would be where tend more turns -- not to we're yet. things we we one bit that

in. bit pretty in it, we're a manage at we've that and which do little environment, to done job a a think I decent sales easier not more healthier

a and would we easier to that get better and in healthy be So to manage it trying like to maybe short, in think, to bit, better, little will environment. I a we're it be

Hendi Susanto

in some Farouq, seeing any is you automotive improvement sequential And and what whether ask that industrial insight and China I then There current in you in want Dan trends IoT. then and are conversation into China? this. that to the have Like there's are

Daniel Bernstein

think good I level not it some one but business volume. pricing user I'd do say, sell or medium competition, frankly, generally, to that's customer higher quite in main the the more China, stuff be that's we just given And of right? type environment, our high volume things Remember, of the, base, tends

kind that those So spots, I choosy, not we're we of but and it's our would -- are of pick kind -- things we we're about. overthink our say but not picky

Hendi Susanto

And QX, may I that number? I this, -- of miss in then the sales I for eMobility ask missed may

Lynn Hutkin

Sure.

QX So in were million. eMobility sales $X

away. I just square back want to jump kind something on of and

broadly said you just you like and clearly. obviously, end X in guys at worst And Or make was the of I that networking consensus to release, terms was indicated guys end markets it of those distribution? dynamic I more that that mostly serve kind just want kind the Is in you the distribution the an biggest But May, guys was is the that on of are distribution? behind networking? us. industry of the press it that So understand in the of view guess I that indicated market through serve. do that conference -- sure kind

Daniel Bernstein

companies, overall, the I direct. is a of networking customer -- is our they say smaller you would for of our But most when industrial direct throw networking go distribution. portion No, good in networking. companies, business probably to XX% Yes. through then

about represents distribution Lynn? our sales, overall So XX% of

Lynn Hutkin

Yes.

Farouq Tuweiq

it, reference once a Bobby, that think the focused the part And that call to maybe of distribution, -- conference conference really your a other was I was year. question, happens

about So the on that our distribution conference was side. comment specific

is from question Needham Jim next Ricchiuti Income. from The

James Ricchiuti

assume R&D sense at the around OpEx, gross margins. assume to I are wonder quarter. a normalized more that uptick nice the little saw Farouq, as to think that lower thanks help on levels which moved about We fair Is you a for of a a in side? on could I probably maybe R&D SG&A revenues us with bit. and not are uptick little these any a these there. Should levels the we OpEx? way in bit the if guidance significant has

Farouq Tuweiq

goes into million, power it mean pretty million call is -- more connectivity Remember, fair. the Yes, around I where the business. we that's think think kind $X $X that and of R&D -- side million, is. the I of $X roughly R&D

pay variability outside SG&A, some of that it as relates there some that to other commissions co-items. terms In in is some and we

tend world I kind of see we we that would we about SG&A to in. can that around looking XX%. think we we're to think as say So about ways the it just are influence

So of something the guide we at will, are or you we say. of we or should range on, if largely, focused towards order kind looking and that's the possible what's of But -- there. kind bound, in flattish
