Revenue growth was broad-based across key end markets, including Industrial (up 23% in Q3), Automotive (up 22% in Q3), Consumer (up 21% in Q3), and Communications (up 40% in Q3). Growth in Automotive was driven by connectivity solutions, Communications by wireline for data center infrastructure (AI support), and Consumer by portable products.

The gross margin percentage expanded by 540 basis points year-over-year in the third quarter to 62.1%, and by 400 basis points year-to-date to 60.8%. This improvement is attributed to higher factory utilization due to increased demand and a decrease in amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets.
