For the year, 2023 was our third consecutive year of record revenue, led by the strength of our Industrial and Automotive businesses," said Vincent Roche, CEO and Chair. "As outlined last quarter, we expect customer inventory digestion to persist into the first half of the year, a reflection of our return to normal lead times and the challenging macro landscape. Despite that backdrop, the robustness of our business model and our continued focus on execution excellence will buttress our operating margins and free cash flow through the cycle." |
