Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“We expect new generation products to comprise approximately 10% of our total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2026, up from 2% for the full year 2025. So 2026 will remain a challenging period, especially for gross margin as we transition the portfolio and scale new generation products.” Camillo Martino, CEO
