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.

Learning With Leo: UHDI—The Next Leap in PCB Manufacturing
11/05/2025 | Leo Lambert -- Column: Learning With LeoHigh density interconnect (HDI) technology has been a cornerstone of miniaturized electronics since Hewlett-Packard introduced the first chip-scale implementation in 1982. Over time, HDI processes became central to organic flip-chip packaging in the semiconductor industry. Today, the convergence of IC substrates and system-level PCBs has accelerated the adoption of UHDI.
