| Statement |
|---|
| For the full-year of 2023 MPS achieved record revenue of $1.82 billion |
| This is our 12th consecutive year of revenue growth driven by consistent execution, continued innovation and strong customer focus |
| And it's proven that their technology and with our power stage and there will be a huge benefit for -- in audio signal to audio amplification fields |
| Our integrated power management solutions for artificial intelligence enabled our customers to unlock previously untapped opportunities for innovation and growth |
| The positive there is that in addition to AI, we're also seeing incremental positive demand for our traditional CPU data center solutions |
| As far as the initial ramp that we've been experiencing over about the last four quarters, we've really seen or benefited from the acceleration of demand for these applications and solutions |
| And we do see that in the recent quarters and the last quarter source and we see all these orders come in and they came in as we expected, those products are truly better than our competitors |
| We believe these ongoing investments position us well for future growth when the macro environment stabilizes |
| And then the other positive in the group is that we saw the initial ramp of DDR5 during the year and also graphic cards expanded pretty nicely during the year |
| I mean, you're clearly building out, I think, a pretty impressive portfolio in what I would call more the mixed signal part of the market |
| And then when the environment is more predictable, we look to be able to grow gross margin 10 to 15 percentage points -- or basis points on quarterly successive quarters |
| Having said that, we've started a lot of wafer starts ahead of what we believe will be a potential upside certainly in the next few quarters |
| This 31.5% gain was primarily driven by increased sales of our highly integrated applications supporting advanced driver assistance systems, the digital cockpit and lighting applications |
| This game is always the best performers |
| Automotive revenue grew $94.6 million year-over-year to $394.7 million in 2023 |
| And we see -- we believe these business will grow -- we grow our capacity accordingly |
| And congratulations on 12th consecutive year of growth, especially in this environment |
| Comparing year-over-year results, fourth quarter 2023 revenue for enterprise data grew by 88.4% |
| Full year 2023 enterprise data revenue grew $71.6 million over the prior year to $323 million |
| And again, we want to -- first thing, okay, we want to make sure it’s all the product, what we deliver to our customers is the best product, best performers |
| Axign competitive difference is its ability to deliver signals with near-zero distortion and reduce power consumption for automotive and consumer audio systems |
| Finally, I am pleased to announce a 25% increase in our quarterly dividend to $1.25 per share from $1 per share for stockholders of record as of March 29, 2024 |
| Storage and computing revenue for 2023 grew $38.5 million over the prior year to $491.1 million |
| Despite this ongoing uncertainty, we continue to execute against our long-term strategy by bringing innovative new products to market and expanding design wins across our broad base of customers |
| I think in the next couple of years, and you will see some significant growth from a different area, from a single processing and for data converters and for -- of course, we talk about today and the audio process, and which we're already designing and some consumer -- high-volume consumer market segment |
| Bernie Blegen And Travis, it's an excellent question because I think to align with Michael's point there is that the strength of MPS as far as resilience in different market conditions, is the breadth of the customer base and not have high levels of concentration |
| Tore Svanberg Very good |
| And that's kind of exciting |
| And when the CPU market picks up and our revenue will start resume to growth |
| Looks like the enterprise data segment was up $30 million quarter-on-quarter, really driving a lot of the growth in the near term |
| Statement |

| This 26.6% year-over-year decrease was a result of broad market weakness across all segments |
| Fourth quarter 2023 GAAP gross margin was 55.3%, down 20 basis points from the third quarter of 2023 and 290 basis points below the fourth quarter of 2022 |
| While we saw a nominal improvement in Q4 ordering patterns, we remain cautious as visibility beyond the current quarter is limited |
| MPS had fourth quarter revenue of $454.0 million, down 4.4% from the third quarter of 2023 and down 1.3% from the fourth quarter of 2022 |
| Communications revenue fell by $46.5 million to $204.9 million, this 18.5% reduction was a result of lower 4G and 5G infrastructure sales |
| Automotive was down 7.8%, Consumer decreased 17.5%, Communications decreased 36.3% and Industrial fell 40.5% |
| Bernie Blegen So I think the way to look at it is that we anticipated softness in the storage market |
| This 21.2% decrease primarily reflected lower sales in applications for industrial automation, security and power sources |
| Industrial revenue fell by $46.5 million to $172.7 million in 2023 |
| And I said, overall, it's not good |
| Storage and computing fell 2.9% |
| As far as the channel, that's been a difficult aspect of this market for everybody |
| Consumer revenue decreased $84.8 million to $234.7 million in 2023 |
| Fourth quarter 2023 non-GAAP gross margin was 55.7%, flat with the third quarter of 2023, but 280 basis points lower than the fourth quarter of 2022 |
| And I think that as we observed in the last year or even 18 months that the most recent versions of their products have been delayed |
| We had some issues on the Stage 1s and we had some design wins and very small volumes in different systems, actually |
| Then the AI business took off and was out of our expectations, I mean, we didn't know |
| This year-over-year reduction in fourth quarter non-GAAP gross margin is largely due to sales mix |
| Bernie Blegen So I think that there has been some softness that has occurred in Q3 of last -- Q3 and Q4 of last year that was observable both for IC and EVs |
| We increased share with a lot of the major customers in the SSD market, but their business was in decline for much of 2023 |
