·         “Q1 net revenues of $3.55 billion and gross margin of 46.7% came in above the mid-point of our business outlook range. This revenue performance, driven by strong demand in microcontrollers, was partially offset by temporarily reduced operations at our Shenzhen, China manufacturing facility due to the pandemic.

·         “ST’s second quarter outlook, at the mid-point, is for net revenues of $3.75 billion, increasing year-over-year by 25.3% and sequentially by 5.8%; gross margin is expected to be about 46.0%.

·         “We continue to drive the Company based on a plan for FY22 revenues in the range of $14.8 billion to $15.3 billion.”
