Current report
Revenue increased 40% and 36% in the three- and nine-month periods ended August 1, 2026 as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year, reflecting broad-based demand across end markets. Within Industrial, all sub-markets grew, with test equipment and aerospace and defense representing the highest growth. The strongest growth within Communications came from the data center sub-market, driven by artificial intelligence-related infrastructure investments.
Current report
The Company’s effective tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 1, 2026 are below the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% due to lower statutory tax rates applicable to the Company's operations in the foreign jurisdictions in which it earns income.
Current report
The tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 2, 2025 were higher than the current year periods primarily due to a net deferred tax expense of $153.8 million recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 related to the remeasurement of our Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income-related deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Previous report
Revenue increased 37% and 34% in the three- and six-month periods ended May 2, 2026 as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year as a result of a broad-based increase in demand for our products, notably within all Industrial sub-markets with the highest growth coming from our test equipment and aerospace and defense sub-markets. Revenue also increased in the data center portion of the Communications end market related to artificial intelligence-driven infrastructure investments.
Previous report
The primary driver for our increased tax rate in the three- and six-month periods ended May 2, 2026, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year, is the increase in taxes paid on our international profits. This results in higher non-deductible foreign tax expense under the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) regime, which has the effect of increasing our effective tax rate.
