Positive Points Sanmina Corp (NASDAQ:SANM) reported solid revenue of $2.04 billion for the third quarter, exceeding their outlook. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased by 22.8% year over year, reaching $1.53. The company achieved a non-GAAP operating margin of 5.7%, at the high end of their outlook. Sanmina Corp (NASDAQ:SANM) generated strong cash flow from operations, totaling $201 million for the third quarter. The planned acquisition of ZT Systems is expected to add $5 billion to $6 billion of annual net revenue, potentially doubling Sanmina's revenue within three years. Negative Points Non-GAAP operating expenses were slightly above outlook, reflecting continued strategic investments. The automotive and transportation segment experienced some softness with slower demand. There are ongoing uncertainties related to tariffs and the geopolitical landscape, which could impact future performance. The acquisition of ZT Systems involves a significant investment in working capital, primarily inventory, which carries inherent risks. The company's guidance for the fourth quarter suggests a slowdown in year-over-year revenue growth compared to the third quarter. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you provide an update on the ZT Systems acquisition and its expected revenue impact? Is the business still experiencing declining revenues, and what are your plans to turn it around? A: Jure Sola, CEO: We remain excited about the ZT Systems acquisition, expecting it to add $5 billion to $6 billion in annual net revenue. The business is stable, and we see significant potential for growth. We are already engaging with critical customers and plan to enhance our sales force and technical support to capitalize on opportunities. The business is profitable, and we anticipate further growth post-acquisition. Q: Your Q3 showed strong growth, but Q4 guidance suggests a slowdown. Can you explain this and provide insights into fiscal 2026 expectations? A: Jure Sola, CEO: The business remains stable, and the Q4 guidance reflects a more predictable environment compared to last year's choppy conditions. We are optimistic about fiscal 2026, expecting to maintain or exceed the current growth rate, barring any unforeseen macroeconomic disruptions. Q: CPS margins improved significantly. Were there any one-time factors contributing to this? A: Jon Faust, CFO: The margin improvement was primarily due to business mix and ongoing investments. There were no one-time factors. We aim to maintain margins above 15% and continue to drive improvements across all divisions. Q: What are the risks associated with the inventory in the ZT Systems acquisition? A: Jon Faust, CFO: We have a $2 billion working capital target, primarily inventory, and have thoroughly evaluated it with AMD. While there are inherent risks, we are confident in the inventory's alignment with customer demand and forecasts. Q: With the expected revenue from the ZT acquisition, where do you see operating margins heading? A: Jure Sola, CEO: We anticipate operating margins to exceed 6%, with potential upside as we integrate ZT Systems and leverage our end-to-end solutions for data center and AI markets. We will provide more detailed guidance post-acquisition closure. For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
