Mr. Eizenman continued, "At the same time, as part of our re-focus on our Server Adapter and Edge solution portfolios, we are investing significantly to develop two strategic new product families aimed at expanding our leadership and revenues from some of the market's highest growth segments. We have also implemented a new sales compensation plan that has positively impacted our Design Win pipeline, already bringing us an initial flow of new small-to-medium Design Wins."
Mr. Eizenman concluded, "As a concrete indication of our confidence, we continue to execute on our aggressive share buyback program, and the Board has just approved a new repurchase plan for the coming year. During the first quarter, we repurchased approximately 250,000 shares, well ahead of our original schedule for repurchasing 1.6 million shares by the end of 2025. We believe this effort, coupled with our focus on the core and continued strict discipline with expenses, will return us to growth and profitability, creating significant shareholder value over the long term."
