FY27 capital investment is expected to be $20M–$25M, focused on manufacturing, assembly and testing modernization, growth, and efficiency.
FY27 free-cash-flow conversion is expected in the 20%–40% range, depending partly on growth CapEx timing and execution; the long-term goal remains above 60%.
FY2030 targets remain $500M revenue, 30% gross margin, and free-cash-flow conversion above 60%.
Gross margins are expected to improve over time as end markets diversify and operating leverage increases.
