| Looking at the year-over-year sales performance by product group, ADG revenues increased 29.6% on a double-digit growth in both the automotive and power discrete subgroups |
| About 2024, so clearly, we have a very good visibility 2024 for automotive |
| They are ramping up their next generation products, which leverage our BiCMOS9 processes as well as innovative and highly differentiated packaging technology |
| For us, it's positive in term of gross margin mix |
| This is a positive indication of the market structural appetite for our product |
| We have also seen strong market interest in ST high precision GNSS solution TESEO V adapted to our ADAS system |
| In car digitalization, we saw continued design win momentum with our later generation of automotive microcontrollers, called Stellar across key applications |
| We adapt to our supply chain, and for sure, on turning in January, we'll have a better visibility and moving forward as well |
| It's good, but this is not the most important |
| For third quarter net revenues of $4.43 billion came in above the midpoint of our business outlook range, and Q3 gross margin of 47.6% was 10 basis points above guidance |
| If you want to classify next year, very, very simply, we are convinced that automotive will grow definitively because we have the visibility |
| Net revenues came in 130 basis points above the midpoint of our outlook, mainly reflecting higher sales than expected in Personnel Electronics |
| I was very honored and pleased to accept the proposal |
| But our ambition is to continue to win year-after-year market share, driven by a new product in production, technology, digitalization, but yes I confirmed the $20 billion plus model in term of revenue |
| For the nine months period, net revenues increased 11.1% year-over-year to $13 billion, driven by growth in the ADG and MDG Product Groups and partially offset by a decline of the AMS Product Group |
| And Q3 for sure, the industrial mass market was a solid, but now we are entering this period |
| We will see our customer acknowledging our capability in '24 to better deliver with short early time |
| This includes design wins in zonal modules for software defined vehicle architectures and in next generation battery management systems, in partnership with major carmakers |
| Revenues grew in an RF communication and were substantially flat in the Microcontrollers subgroup |
| This is something, which is fantastic, the semiconductor industry |
| So, it's a good news, point number 1 |
| You remember that we were preparing the year in the first half of 2023, let's say, expecting a stronger second part of the year second half of the year |
| So it means that depending on the way that this will evolve will of course being positive for our gross margin in respect to what is now in Q4 |
| We have taken benefits of this capacity reservation |
| In terms of operating margin by product group on a year-over-year basis, ADG operating margin increased to 31.5% from 25.9% |
| But definitely in term of the gross margin, it's positive |
| It would be a good cost driver |
| We further enlarged the reach of applications and use cases for Industrial customers by introducing new products such as Time-of-Flight and Thermal MOS infrared sensors, as well as the third generation of inertial sensors |
| As expected, the revenue performance was driven mainly by continued growth in automotive, partially offset by lower revenues in Personal Electronics |
| Q3 net revenues increased 2.5% year-over-year |

| There is concerns given some slightly weaker commentary at your lead customer, that silicon carbide growth could slow |
| On Q4 2023, our fourth quarter business outlook is for net revenues of about $4.3 billion at the midpoint, declining year-over-year and sequentially by about 3% |
| And also, I'm sure you saw as well the macro data with OEMs, orders for auto is coming down significantly, especially in Europe |
| IMS operating margin decreased to 18.8% from 27.2%, while MDG operating margin decreased to 35.1% from 36.7% |
| Well, consumer applications for the time being are still weak and discussing with our customer, they don't expect to have a strong recovery before Q2 next year |
| I mean, if you look at TSMC, it was down 11% year-over-year calling that the industry is going is through an inventory correction |
| Year-over-year, third quarter operating income decreased 2.4% to $1.24 billion |
| Clearly, I think that brings some flashbacks to September of 2018, where that was a part of the market that started to face troubles as we hit that particular down cycle |
| IMS revenues decreased 28.3% with lower revenues in the three subgroups |
| For the fourth quarter, we expect net revenues at the mid-point to be about $4.3 billion, representing a year-over-year and sequential decline of about 3% |
| Operating margin was 28%, decreasing by 140 basis points versus 29.4% in the year ago quarter |
| The $7.3 billion is consistent with the indicated range we provided late July, the $100 million sales at the midpoint relates mainly to the industrial end market in Asia, where the level of orders materializing toward the end of Q3 to load our Q4 backlog has been below our expectation |
| Usually, if I remember well, you had in the first quarter some customer price declines every year, so that was a little bit of a pressure on gross margins in Q1 |
| As expected, AMS revenue decreased mainly reflecting lower revenue in Personnel Electronics |
| How do you see this progressing? Clearly, you have seen this softness in the industrial space |
| Okay, again, the dynamic in Q3 of order when customer acknowledged the fact that they are entering the entire window well below our expectation |
| And then for sure Q4, let's say unfavorable seasonality in respect to the previous quarter |
| This is creating some unloading charges that we have in this second half of the year, impacting our gross margin |
| Andrew Gardiner If I could also just follow-up on the comment you've made in terms of seeing weakness start in industrial space, particularly in China, and that it's affecting general purpose microcontrollers |
| Looking at our year-over-year performance, gross margin remained stable at 47.6%, while as expected, operating margin decreased to 28% from 29.4% |
