Achieved record fourth-quarter revenue of $1.316 billion, representing 45% year-over-year growth, driven by broad-based demand across data center and communications infrastructure markets.
Transitioned to a new revenue reporting structure—Data Centers, Communications Infrastructure, and Automotive/Industrial—to better reflect the end-market deployment of complex optical and electronic products.
Data center revenue grew 68% year-over-year to $669 million, now representing 51% of total revenue, fueled by DCI products and high-performance computing (HPC) applications.
DCI products reached an annualized revenue run rate exceeding $1 billion, reflecting the 'insatiable' demand for interconnectivity between and within data centers.
Strategic positioning as a 'manufacturing on-ramp' in Silicon Valley was bolstered by doubling the Santa Clara footprint to support new product introductions (NPI) before high-volume transfer to Thailand.
Management attributes sustained growth to increasing manufacturing complexity and 'revenue density' in products like multi-rail architectures, which require precision optical assembly and fusion splicing.
Maintained strong operating leverage with operating expenses at just 1.3% of revenue, despite significant investments in physical capacity and footprint expansion.

Fiscal 2027 Outlook and Capacity Strategy

Anticipate first-quarter revenue between $1.375 and $1.425 billion, assuming continued momentum in transceivers, DCI, and HPC programs.
Executing a massive capacity expansion plan to increase total revenue run rate potential from the current $5.3 billion to between $12.5 billion and $14 billion over the coming years.
Building 10 in Chonburi remains on track for completion by early 2027, with 250,000 square feet qualified and an additional 250,000 square feet expected to qualify this quarter.
New transceiver programs, including hyperscale direct and merchant programs, are expected to begin ramping in the current quarter and through early calendar 2027.
Visibility extends into late 2027 based on customer forecasts, reinforcing management's confidence in the durability of current demand trends despite lack of formal order commitments.

Structural and Regulatory Factors

Recorded a $57.4 million provision related to Thailand's new top-up tax regime under the OECD Global Minimum Tax Framework; future tax impacts remain uncertain as regulations evolve.
Recognized a $56.7 million non-cash accounting gain from the remeasurement of the investment in Raytec, which will be treated consistently in future periods.
Acquired a new 200,000 square foot facility in Navanakorn and a 130,000 square foot campus in Santa Clara to support long-term growth and NPI services.
Management noted that while supply constraints for high-profile components persist, they have been factored into the current guidance and are being mitigated by the supply chain team.

Q&A Session Highlights

Capacity expansion triggers and long-term revenue potential

Management detailed a roadmap to reach up to $14 billion in capacity through Building 10, the Navanakorn site, Santa Clara expansion, and two additional planned factories in Chonburi.
Revenue per square foot is increasing due to a shift toward more complex, 'revenue-dense' products like DCI and high-performance computing modules.

Opportunities in Near-Package Optics (NPO) and Co-Packaged Optics (CPO)

Management views NPO as a more near-term opportunity than CPO, as it leverages their existing expertise in pluggable modules and advanced photonics packaging.
The partnership with Raytec is considered instrumental in unlocking demand for these next-generation packaging technologies under one roof in Thailand.

Customer concentration and the Nokia-Infinera acquisition impact

Nokia rose to a 10% customer this year; management noted that the Infinera business remained robust post-acquisition without the typical product rationalization risks.
Fabrinet is seeing 'breakthroughs' in winning new business directly from Nokia, beyond the legacy Infinera programs.

Impact of potential Chinese transceiver bans and supply chain

Management stated a ban on Chinese transceivers could theoretically be a positive for Fabrinet as a Western-focused manufacturer, but cautioned it is not yet a 'done deal'.
Confirmed that laser supply and other component commitments are factored into the guidance for the upcoming 1.6T transceiver ramps.

Growth outlook for Optical Cross-Connects (OCS) and LEO satellites

OCS remains a small but high-potential category that fits Fabrinet's manufacturing 'wheelhouse'; management expects to participate in upcoming industry ramps.
LEO satellite business is currently supported by two major players and fits well with Fabrinet's precision optical manufacturing capabilities.
