We are pleased to recognize a recovery of some of the temporarily delayed semiconductor design releases that occurred back in our fiscal Q2. Continued high fab utilization rates throughout the industry have been a positive influence toward node migration trends, resulting in a record percentage for our high-end I.C. business at 44% of total I.C. revenue. Our investments in the U.S. and Korea remain on track as we continue to strengthen our position at the high end of the market over the coming years.
