Reports Q1 revenue $213.5M, consensus $214.03M. "The Silicon Labs team delivered a strong start to 2026 with revenue of $214 million and meaningful year-over-year improvements in both gross margin and profitability," said Matt Johnson, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Over the course of the quarter we saw an acceleration in bookings with declining inventory positions at our distributors and end customers, led by our broad industrial business. Design win momentum continued during the first quarter, exceeding both our internal targets and our 2025 run rate, which was a prior record year for the company. This performance underscores the breadth and depth of our innovative product portfolio across end applications. Our leading indicators point to both near- and long-term strength, with book-to-bill ratio at a multi-year high and two quarters of record design wins, reinforcing our conviction in Silicon Labs' durable growth trajectory. At the same time, our proposed merger with Texas Instruments continues to advance, and we remain focused on disciplined execution and delivering for our customers."
