Net revenue: $6.1 billion to $6.7 billion
U.S. GAAP operating income: $183 million to $263 million
U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share: $0.69 to $1.27 per diluted share
Core operating income (Non-GAAP) (1): $286 million to $346 million
Core diluted earnings per share (Non-GAAP) (1): $1.60 to $2.00 per diluted share
Core operating income and core diluted earnings per share exclude anticipated adjustments of $13 million for amortization of intangibles (or $0.11 per diluted share) and $20 million for stock-based compensation expense and related charges (or $0.18 per diluted share) and $70 million to $50 million (or $0.62 to $0.44 per diluted share) for restructuring, severance and related charges.
Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook:

Powering the Future: From Thick-Film to DBC—Understanding the Evolution of Ceramic Packaging
02/11/2026 | Brian Buyea -- Column: Powering the FutureCeramic packaging has quietly powered the electronics revolution for more than half a century. From the earliest thick-film hybrids to today’s direct bond copper (DBC) substrates and metallized aluminum nitride, every step forward in ceramic technology has pushed the limits of reliability, power density, and performance. It’s essential for every design engineer building the next generation of electronic systems to understand this evolution.

Connect the Dots: The Future of Designing for Reality—Pattern Plating
02/05/2026 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsLast month, I discussed the outer-layer imaging process and offered tips for designers to help ensure smooth manufacturing and high-quality output. The next step in the manufacturing process is copper pattern plating, where fabrication can be tricky, and design precision is even more important. The board is now ready to have the copper traces, through-holes, vias, pads, and other elements specified in the original CAD design plated to copper thickness requirements. I will identify some key design considerations for pattern plating, break down the process, and offer design tips for a successful outcome.
