Thanks, Mike. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. I am very happy to be here today for my third earnings call with Magnanship. Let me reiterate a point that I've made consistently over the past several quarters. Magnanship has a strong technical foundation with a long history in power of semiconductors and deep relationships with important customers. We are building on that foundation to execute a multi-year transformation to return the company to profitable growth. Although we are in the early stages of this transition, I believe that we are making good progress. Let me address the quarter directly. From a revenue standpoint, Q1 came in stronger than typical seasonality would suggest, with both sequential and year-over-year growth. Allow me to provide some clarity on how to interpret. The strength was driven by actions we took in prior quarters, specifically our previously communicated one-time sales incentive program to reduce channel inventory. This action was necessary to improve the health of the sales channel but it also creates some short-term variability in revenue. While the top-line growth is encouraging, we are still operating in a challenging competitive environment. Consistent with our communications in prior quarters, we continue to face pricing pressure on legacy products, particularly in China. And as we have said before, product competitiveness is the key to winning. Where we have competitive products, we can win. Where we do not, it is difficult to win in this market. We saw sequential improvement. We feel good about our progress, and we are at the beginning of a multi-year journey to substantially improve gross margin. Let me just now step back and reconnect this quarter to our broader strategy. Last quarter, we articulated a new strategy comprising six foundational pillars for the company's longer-term recovery and profitable growth. We are actively executing on all of them. I will not go through each one of them in detail today, but I would like to reinforce a few. He consistently said that the center of everything we are doing is improving product competitiveness by developing new generation products. These are all critical to our long-term success. We have focused our efforts on accelerating our R&D and launching new products. 55 new generation products in 2025, and we are now aiming for another 55 new generation products in 2026 after launching only four new generation products in 2024 and Euro. We believe that the launch of many new generation products on a consistent basis will have a meaningful contribution to our financial recovery efforts. Some of these new generation products include those we mentioned in our recent press releases, including our newest eighth generation, as well as for MV. Take some time for our customers to qualify in new product and subsequently drive revenue. We believe that over time, these new products will return the company to revenue growth and improve margins. Consistent with our comments last quarter, we expect new generation products to comprise approximately 10% of our total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2026, up from only 2% for the full year 2025. In parallel, we expect to continue deepening our relationships with important industry leaders in our target market signals.

This will be crucial to the opportunity to work.

I would like to address our PowerIC business, as that is an area of opportunity and is also critical to our long-term success. It is a smaller portion of our business right now, and we expect it to remain so through 2026. At the same time, we do see significant opportunity for our PowerIC business in the coming years. We continue to align our power IC products as well as our future gate driver IC products with our power discrete product roadmap, such as MOSFETs and IGBTs. Long-term alignment of our discrete MOSFETs and our product IC products will enable Magnitschip to launch higher value-added integrated power modules in the future. We believe Magnitschip's longer-term potential is substantial, and the accelerated launch of new generation products of building initials. While we are confident in the direction, the financial improvement will be gradual. Let me turn over to Xina. Xina?

Thank you, Camilla. I welcome everyone on the call. Start with key financial metrics for Q1. Total Q1 consolidated revenue from continuing operations, which includes Power Analog Solutions for IC, was $46.2 million, around the midpoint of our guidance range of $44 to $48 million. This was up 3.3% year-over-year and up 13.9% sequentially, compared to $44.7 million in Q1 2025 and $40.6 million in Q4 2025. Revenue from Power Analog Solutions in Q1 was $41.6 million, up 4.5% year-over-year, and up 13.1% sequentially. The sequential improvement was primarily driven by the $2.7 million of one-time sales incentive that was recognized as a reduction in revenue in Q4 2025 as part of our efforts to reduce elevated channel inventory. Revenue from power IC in Q1 was $4.6 million, down 6.2% year-over-year, but up 21.3% sequentially. In Q1, consolidated gross profit margin from continuing operations was 15.6%, above the midpoint of our guidance range of 14 to 16%. This compares to 20.9% in Q1 2025 and 9.3% in Q4 2025. Year-over-year decline was primarily attributable to an unfavorable product mix, driven mainly by ASP erosion, particularly in China. As a reminder, the $2.7 million of one-time sales incentives was recorded in Q4 2025. Excluding this item, Q4 gross profit margin would have been 15%. On that basis, gross profit margin improved by 60 basis points quarter-over-quarter, primarily due to higher utilization rates. Moving to operating expenses, SG&A was $7.7 million in Q1 compared to $9.2 million in Q1 2025 and $8.6 million in Q4 2025. As mentioned in our prior earnings call, we expect to see annual OPEX savings of approximately $2.5 million beginning in Q4 2025 from our cost reduction efforts, primarily related to the voluntary resignation program implemented in Q3 last year. Stock-based compensation charges including SG&A were $0.6 million dollars in Q1 compared to $0.8 million in Q1 2025 and $0.4 million in Q4 2025. R&D expenses were $6.7 million dollars in Q1 compared to $5.4 million in Q1 2025 and 7.6 million dollars in q4 2025 the over your increase reflects the acceleration of investment in new product development as Camila noted earlier we are now aiming for 55 new generation products in 2026 before turning to our non-gap results please note that our gap financial results are available in our form 8k filing with our first quarter earnings release our non get results are as follows adjust the operating loss was 6.5 million dollars in q1 compared to a loss of 4.4 million dollars in q1 2025 and a loss of 11.9 million dollars in q4 2025 adjust ebitda was negative 3.6 million dollars in q1 compared to negative 1.2 million dollars in q1 2025 and negative 8.9 million dollars in q4 2025 The quarter-over-quarter improvement in both adjusted operating loss and adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by higher gross profit along with lower operating expenses, as discussed earlier. Q1 non-get diluted loss per share was 11 cents, compared to a loss per share of 8 cents in both Q1 2025 and Q4 2025. Weighted average non-GET diluted shares outstanding for the quarter were $36.4 million, compared to $36.9 million in Q125 and $36 million in Q4 2025. Moving to the balance sheet. We ended Q1 with cash of $94.6 million, compared to one of $3.8 million at the end of Q4 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by $3.9 million in capital expenditures with a remaining change largely attributable to operating cash outflows. At the end of Q1, total borrowings were $42.3 million, including $15.9 million of decriminalization. of this amount 26.4 million 26.4 million dollars associated with the term loan was required to short term during the quarter due to its maturity in March 2027 this standard accounting treatment our lender is aware of the maturity profile and we expect to be able to extend the maturity date beyond March 2027 I will address it in the ordinary course of business consistent with typical market prices in Korea. Now, moving to our second quarter, 2026 guidance. Consistent with Camilo's earlier comment, Q1 revenue came in stronger than typical seasonality due to the one-time sales incentive program. While actual results may vary, for Q2-2026, Magnus currently expects consolidated revenue from continuing operations, which includes power analog solutions and power IC businesses to be in the range of $44.5 million to $48.5 million, roughly flat sequentially, and a decrease of 2.3% year-over-year at the midpoint. This compares with $46.2 million in Q1-2026 and $47.6 million in Q2-2025. Consolidated gross profit margin from continuing operations to be in the range of 17% to 19%, up from 15.6% in Q1-2026, but down from 20.4% in Q2-2025. Finally, I would like to note that a planned upgrade to the electrical substation by a service provider in Kumi is expected in Q3 and will have an impact on our factory operations. To mitigate any potential customer disruptions, we plan to build some additional inventory in Q2 and into Q3. As a result, we would expect our factory utilization rate to be somewhat higher in Q2, followed by lower utilization in Q3. Since utilization is the main driver of gross margin, we expect our gross margin in Q2 will likely be higher, as implied by our guidance. Gross margins are expected to decline in Q3 and decline further in Q4 as a result of the planned upgrade. Thank you, and now I'll turn the call over to Camilo for his final remarks.

Thank you, Xi'an. Allow me to reiterate that we are committed to executing on our turnaround strategy, and in particular, the six foundational pillars that we articulated a quarter ago. While we proceed through this multi-year journey, we are pleased to see the initial signs of this new strategy should drive long-term shareholder value. I want to thank our employees for their continued hard work and dedication, and our investors and partners for their patience and support as we return. We will continue to be transparent, disciplined, and now turn the call to the operator and open the call.

Certainly. And our first question for today comes from the line of Suji DaSilva from Boss Capital. Your question, please.

Hi, Camillo. Hi, Shin Young. Could you please start first with maybe the gross margins by segment and how they vary and is one more manufacturer exposed than the other? Any color that would be helpful?

You're asking for this quarter, Suji, right?

Yeah, you had the gross margins in the press release by segment and they were very different. I was just curious what the driver of one versus the other was and then, yeah.

So then we have a discrete business which we call the Power Analog Solutions and Power IT Businesses. So we've been kind of broken them down into those two buckets. And PowerIC, that's the IC, the custom chip. So that, the gross margin has been hovering around like 40 percentage. And it used to be a little over, but depending on the product mix. So that business, I mean, relatively revenue size is relatively small compared to the total company's revenue. But the margin has been pretty, I mean, a lot higher than the normal corporate gross margin. and the other power analog solutions for margin that's kind of that's the product we are producing in our Gumi set so the multiple factors that go into the gross margin calculation meaning utilization and fixed cost and all of those kind of put into that the Gumi set that cost profile that we're going to dictate how the gross margin can kind of vary quarter over quarter of that that product line.

And as Shin-Yung mentioned, utilization is a key factor that's driving this.

Okay, thank you. And then can you talk about the products you're expecting in 26 and what kind of gross margin trend we can expect above the products you've already introduced in 25?

Yes, sure. The products that we mentioned today, the 55, that's the plan for this year, new generation products, they are across the board. They are medium voltage, low voltage, IEPTs, for example, superjunctions. So there's a whole bunch of new products right across the board. We're excited about that. That will have an impact on gross margin, but as we communicated on the call, it does take time to have an impact. this year I think we said that in Q4 we expect that new generation products to contribute approximately 10% of the total revenue but at the same time you need to offset that with Shen Yong's comments on the planned upgrade to the electrical substation because that will have an impact on Q4 margin as well in the other direction. So there's a few factors going into the second house.

Okay, great, Camilla, thanks. And lastly, can you update us on where the manufacturing is from filling back in for the manufacturing services capacity you had before?

Manufacturing services for the...

Before when you had a contract where you were providing manufacturing services at cost, and now how you're filling that in now today.

So that's the foundry services that we provided to the buyer of our foundry business and the factory that we used to own them. So there are a certain margin on that one, although that's actually lower than our corporate margin in the past. You see that margin profile. So that foundry service actually ended in the beginning of the last year, so not in 2026, in 2025. So that's what we are dealing with the whole, the idle capacity, approximately 20% of our Gumi factory is actually was dedicated for the founder's service, and now that's kind of idle. So you see that our gross margin has been suppressed because of that idle capacity. So that whole kind of CapEx that we announced that we spent, not all of them, but we cut them in half, and we are spending it, that's to upgrade our equipment to support this new generation power product, rather than kind of convert that either capacity for the power product simply. I mean, that's because of the pace of our product development, also the revenue, it takes some time to do it. And also the softness of the, I mean, our legacy product environment. So we are kind of being prudent to spend the CapEx to support that. So it's really not overtime, overnight kind of transition or the conversion from the foundry capacity to the power capacity. But as we said previously, we're going to be very cautiously assessing what's going to be the best for the company, like from the cash and also the profitability standpoint, how we're going to convert the capacity for the power.

Okay. Thank you, Shinya. Thank you, Miller.

Thank you.
