The primary engine behind the results was the Signal Integrity segment, which generated $102.00 million in revenue, up from $73.50 million a year ago, as surging data center demand fueled adoption of the company's high-speed connectivity products. GAAP diluted EPS came in at $0.27, up 23% year-over-year, reflecting a sharp improvement from the prior quarter's net loss, which had been weighed down by significant goodwill and intangible impairments. Non-GAAP adjusted operating margin widened to 20.4%, up from 19.0% in the year-ago quarter, as the company captured operating leverage on higher revenues. Looking ahead, Semtech guided Q2 net sales to approximately $328.00 million and adjusted diluted EPS of approximately $0.61, with management citing FiberEdge and CopperEdge 1.6T product ramps as key growth catalysts expected to accelerate data center momentum through the remainder of the year.
Key Takeaways

- • Signal Integrity segment revenue grew 39% year-over-year to $102.0 million driven by data center demand
- • Expanding design wins across data center and LoRa businesses
