Wolfspeed Inc Q3 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

The following is excerpted from the question-and-answer section of the transcript.

Question: Samik Chatterjee - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Analyst : I guess just to start on the delays here in ramp of Mohawk, I think what you're talking about is more of a 6-month delay relative to earlier sort of your own expectations. And I just I'm wondering with the more methodical approach you're taking to ramping, the materials capacity, as we think about sort of the flow-through of this into the future years, does this sort of mean there's a 6-month delay to all the sort of ramp projections that you had? Or does the more methodical approach really drive a greater delay? Or do you sort of pass the S curve at some point where you say, okay, this is the inflection point, we can catch up to some of our earlier targets because we are now more confident about not having to go slow in terms of this ramp. And I have a follow-up.

Question: Samik Chatterjee - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Analyst : Okay. Got it. And just as a follow-up, I think the cash burn in the quarter itself was higher than the last couple of quarters with now sort of forecast for next year being similar gross margin and probably OpEx does go up into that time frame. How should we think about cash burn next year, any sort of guidance on that?
