Q&A Batch (1-5 of 7)

Q1 — Karl Ackerman

• Topic: HPC program growth and customer diversification
• Key points:
  • HPC is a new category, separate from telecom/datacom, due to being data center but not communication.
  • First HPC customer program started shipping products late last quarter; qualification builds completed.
  • Management is optimistic about HPC as a growth area, with potential for multiple customers in future.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish — early days but initial foray going well, customer satisfied, and other opportunities being pursued.

Q2 — Samik Chatterjee

• Topic: Ramp comparison between HPC and new telecom customer
• Key points:
  • HPC product is existing with high demand; Fabrinet is one of several suppliers, ramp starts slow due to complexity and automation setup.
  • New telecom product is a new product, so growth tied to market adoption; both are strong growth drivers.
  • QoQ revenue increase (~$100M at midpoint) driven by HPC, DCI, new telecom, and datacom; no single driver dominates.
• Mgmt stance: Neutral — both ramps are different trajectories; focus on execution, not linear growth.

Q3 — Michael Genovese

• Topic: Telecom growth drivers and datacom customer mix
• Key points:
  • Telecom sequential growth ~15% ($60M) is broad-based across traditional telecom, DCI, and new wins; no single customer or product.
  • Datacom revenue outside largest customer is mostly merchant (non-NVIDIA transceiver) and other datacom products.
  • New datacom opportunities include hyperscale direct (hyperscaler-designed) and merchant transceiver manufacturers; gestation period ~18 months.
• Mgmt stance: Neutral — multiple irons in fire but no specific announcements; revenue mix is diversified.

Q4 — George Notter

• Topic: Share repurchase and Building 10 expansion
• Key points:
  • Share repurchase last quarter was via 10b5 plan (automated, price-tier based); no open market activity.
  • Capital allocation priority remains investing in growth (working capital, CapEx); Building 10 is a 2M sq ft facility, adding ~$2.4B future revenue capacity.
  • A portion of Building 10 is being pulled into June quarter; no change from prior plan.
• Mgmt stance: Neutral — buyback continues via 10b5; CapEx higher due to expansion, but no change in strategy.

Q&A Batch (6-7 of 7)

Q6 — Ryan Koontz

• Topic: DCI需求驱动因素与非DCI电信增长来源
• Key points:
  • 管理层不深究分布式集群对ZR需求的具体原因，因当前需求极强，聚焦交付；但认为该趋势会推动更多DCI及400ZR/800ZR需求。
  • 非DCI电信业务环比增长数千万美元，来源包括份额夺取（蚕食竞争对手）及新项目爬坡，主要以近期赢得的新项目为主。
• Mgmt stance: 乐观（需求强劲，无需深究原因；对新项目爬坡有信心）

Q7 — Timothy Savageaux

• Topic: 增长趋势展望、细分顺序解读及组件供应
• Key points:
  • FY2025增长19%，上季22%，本季（Q1）中点29%；管理层不提供全年指引，仅展望下一季度，但认为需求强劲且可持续，跨产品品类和客户。
  • 顺序为数据通信→DCI→HPC，并无特定含义，仅反映各板块在公司历史中的增长顺序，三者均表现强劲。
  • 组件短缺正在改善，但部分复杂组件仍极紧，预计还需1–2个季度；公司凭借蓝筹客户可获得“不公平”份额，不担心供应。
• Mgmt stance: 乐观（需求全方位强劲，组件改善中，客户优势保障交付）
