Thank you. Good afternoon everyone, and welcome to the Alpha and Omega Semiconductor’s conference call for fiscal 2017 third quarter financial results. This is So-Yeon Jeong, Investor Relations representative for the company. With me today are Dr. Mike Chang, our CEO; and Yifan Liang, our CFO. The call is being recorded and broadcasted live over the web and can be accessed for seven days following the call via the link in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.aosmd.com. The earnings release was distributed by globe newswire today, May 3, 2017, after the market closed. The release is also posted on our company's website. Our earnings release and this presentation include certain non-GAAP financial measures. We use non-GAAP measures because we believe they provide useful information about our operating performance that should be considered by investors in conjunction with the GAAP measures that we provide. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures is included in our earnings release. We would like to remind you that during the course of this conference call, we’ll make forward-looking statements, including discussions of business outlook and financial projections. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from such expectations. For a more detailed description of these risks and uncertainties, please refer to our recent and subsequent filings with the SEC. We assume no obligations to update the information provided in today's call. Now, I’ll turn the discussion over to our CFO to provide an overview of the third fiscal quarter financial results. Yifan?

Thank you, So-Yeon. Good afternoon and thank you for joining us. To begin, I will discuss financial results for the quarter. Then I’ll turn it over to Mike, our CEO, who will review the company’s business highlights and I will follow up with our guidance for the next quarter. Finally, we’ll reserve time for questions-and-answers. Revenue for the March quarter was $93.3 million, down 1.5% sequentially and up 12.4% year-over-year. Demand for our new products continue to show strong momentum during our typically lower season. In terms of product mix, MOSFET revenue was $70.8 million, an increase of 1.4% from the prior quarter and up 11.5% from the same quarter last year. Power IC revenue was $19.3 million, down 11.7% from the prior quarter and up 18.8% from the same quarter last year. Service revenue was $3.2 million, as compared to $3 million for the prior quarter and $3.3 million from the same quarter last year. In terms of segment mix, this quarter’s Computing segment represented 41.1% of the total revenue, Consumer 22%, Power Supply and Industrial 19.7%, Communications 13.6%, Service 3.4%, and others 0.2%. Gross margin was 24.3% for the March quarter, as compared to 23.3% in the prior quarter and 19.7% for the same quarter last year. The increase in gross margin quarter-over-quarter was mainly driven by the new product contribution and improved product mix. Operating expenses for the quarter were $19.7 million, compared to $19.3 million for the prior quarter and $16.4 million for the same quarter last year. The higher operating expenses quarter-over-quarter were primarily due to the headcount increase in R&D and sales marketing functions to support our expected business growth. Income tax expense was $0.5 million for the quarter, compared to $1.1 million for the prior quarter and $1.2 million for the same quarter…

Thank you, Yifan and good afternoon. AOS delivered another outstanding quarter with improved profitability against the loss of seasonality during the March quarter. Our quarter revenue of $93.3 million was close to the high end of our guidance and up 12.4% from the same quarter a year ago. More importantly, we have achieved a pro-forma earnings per share portiere of $0.21, which is 11% higher than the pro forma earning we reported during the last high season in the September quarter 2016. The enhanced profitability was driven by gross margin expansion mainly through a favourable product mix. We post eighth consecutive quarter of gross margin growth, which we believe validates our business strategy and a successful product executions. During the early stage of our recovery we sharpened our strategic decision to focus on markets driven R&D investment. We implemented this by building upon our core competency in engineering and manufacturing to develop versatile technology platforms and target to a wide range of applications. I am pleased to see that. Our new product introduction is progressing well and is contributing to the revenue and the gross margin lines. We’ll continue to develop a healthy pipeline of new products and our products are gaining traction at a diverse customer base. I'm looking forward to updating you on product activities, as new opportunities continue to take shape. Before I touch upon our segment report, let me take a few moments to comment on our supply situation. While we have limited control over the constraints of third party countries, we are taking proactive and differentiated steps to support our customers and prioritize our business. We are making good headway in easing the supply constraints, some key tools are being delivered and installed during the June quarter, which will open up additional capacity in our…

Thank you, Mike. As we look forward to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, we expect our June quarters revenue to be in the range of $95 million to $99 million. This reflects the supply constraint impact that Mike discussed earlier. GAAP gross margin to be approximately 24.5% plus or minus 1%. GAAP operating expenses to be in the range of $19.8 million plus or minus $1 billion, tax expenses to be about $1 million to $1.2 million, loss attributable to non-controlling interest to be around the $1.2 million to $1.3 million. Our share based compensation to be in the range of $1.6 million to $1.8 million. As per our regular practice, we are not assuming any applications to update this information. With that, we will open up the floor for questioning. Operator?

Certainly. [Operator Instructions] And our first question comes from the line of Craig Ellis from B. Riley. Your line is now open.

Thanks for taking the question and congratulations on the very good execution in a tight supply environment, guys. My first question is regarding the supply dynamics and the company's specific actions that are being taken. It seems like there's potential for material incremental capacity to be available to the company in the September quarter. The question is would that be sufficient to allow the business to grow in the range of seasonal norms, which would typically be about 5% to 6% quarter-on-quarter or would there not be sufficient capacity to have a more seasonal quarter?

Sure, Craig. Right now, you know, yes, overall supply situation is pretty tight from the third party foundries perspective. We are taking proactive steps and we'll be investing more in CapEx and then on those machines on coming in right now as we speak. We'll install them, we would expect that yes, gradually starting from the September quarter we can see a higher production output. I would expect a yes in those – and we can support our normal you know, demand on the seasonal basis. We can support our customers. Our new products are showing pretty strong momentum at this point.

That's very helpful, Yifan. My second question is also on revenue, but it's a little bit longer term in nature. Mike it was very useful to get your take on the dynamics in each of your end markets. It sounded like from your commentary the way you framed the PC businesses, that might be your fastest growing business in calendar ’18. But I was wondering if you could help fill in behind that or correct me if I'm not correct in inferring that that would be your highest growth area, boil down how would you rank the end markets from a growth potential standpoint for calendar ’17?

Actually our highest areas is in the mobile section and the computer segment there as we made in the report a while ago, is a combination of BOM increase and the SAM expansion, well as our share expansion exploration too. So it’s a combination.

Okay. And then what about the consumer and the industrial businesses, would you expect those to grow this year. And can you distinguish the relative growth between the two?

The consumer area, I fortunately was suffered the most due to the supply constrain, mainly because some of the product nature over there have some disadvantages, because that’s co-package. So you shot anyone you’re going to shot whole thing, okay. So - this has a bigger flavour, you understand it, okay. However, as we expand our internal capacity some of this will be overcome as soon as from June quarter. For industry what’s there, in the time market, it’s skewed the product mix, management or control to optimize our portfolio.

That's very helpful. Thank you. The last question before I jump back in the queue is for Yifan. Yifan the business is done an unusually good job, raising gross margins, fairly evenly over the last four quarters about 100 to 150 basis points per quarter and that's despite in the most recent quarter the tightness that's been encountered in terms of supply. Can you provide some color on what the biggest drivers for that expansion have been and as we look forward through 2017, to what extent in your view can those factors contribute to a further rising gross margins as we go through the year? Thank you.

Okay, sure. Yes, we posted the eighth consecutive quarters in gross margin expansion in the March quarter. We have been consistently loading all the new products and the major contributions they are already part of this expansion, it was from utilisation, right now there is more contributed from the product mix and the new product contributions. Going forward, yes I would expect you know we'll continue to develop a new product and improve all the manufacturing efficiencies and you know, those new products will continue to contribute. You know, we have - we haven't given the near-term to mid term gross margin guidance you know on conference and so we’re targeting mid 20% range for the near-term and mid term you know for the long-term yes, our target is 30% of the range. So we'll continue to execute on that plan.

Is there a revenue level that you believe the business needs to be running at to get to the 30% target?

Yes, and I would expect that the revenue level will be much higher, but we got to $500 million to 600 million range because in our way you know our new products would contribute proportionally much larger to the gross margin line. Right now I mean, we are doing mix management. So right now that mix management contributed some to our gross margin improvement also, as we have more capacity on line that we’ll again focus both on the business and the revenue growth and the gross margin. You know, our ultimate goal is to improve our EPS, that’s our major goal.

It s sounds good. So $125 million to $150 million is the level where we might see 30%. Thanks, guys. Good luck.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you. [Operator Instructions] And I'm not showing any further questions over the phone line.

Okay. This concludes our earnings call today. Thank you for your interest in AOS and we look forward to talking to you again next quarter.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your participation in today's conference. This concludes the program. And you may now disconnect. Everyone have a great day.
