Filing receipts

Interest Expense Interest expense, including amortization and a write-off of deferred financing costs, decreased by $4.7 million to $1.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, compared to $6.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, primarily due to interest savings as a result of the full repayment of the Term Loans (as defined below) from the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 through the third quarter of fiscal year 2026.

Investing Activities Net cash provided by or used in investing activities is primarily driven by acquisitions, net of any cash received, capital expenditures, purchases and sales of investments, purchases of intangibles, and proceeds from or premiums paid for corporate-owned life insurance.

This increase was primarily driven by an approximately $15.8 million increase from Signal Integrity, which experienced higher sales led by data center sales due to stronger demand, an approximately $2.7 million increase from Analog Mixed Signal and Wireless, which experienced higher sales led by TVS product sales and LoRa-enabled product sales due to stronger demand, and an approximately $1.6 million increase from IoT Systems and Connectivity, primarily driven by higher IoT Hardware sales.
