“we're investing to more than double our capacity to support growing AI demand.”

In context

“-market growth, enhance margins and drive strong free cash flow generation. I also want to highlight our growing data center and associated power utility business with current revenue of approximately $600 million, $100 million inside the data center and about $500 million bringing power to the facility. This is a priority vertical space, where we are introducing new products like EBO or Expanded Beam Optics, a high-performance optical connector engineered to improve installation speed, reliability and operational efficiency within data centers. EBO builds on our existing TwinAx copper connector for high-speed data transmission and positions us well for the copper to fiber transition underway. With hyperscaler validation, a significant order in hand and $1 billion-plus addressable market, we're investing to more than double our capacity to support growing AI demand. We see additional opportunities here as demand expands to ceramics, silicon photonics and on-chip optical connectors. We have strong IP to support this evolving market and a clear road map to develop new products that further drive growth. Overall, I'm pleased with our progress this quarter, encouraged by the pace, op tempo and executional rigor of the 3M team. We're on a multiyear journey and progress won't be linear, but we're building the capability to execute consistently, to innovate with purpose and to allocate resources toward the parts of the portfolio that deliver the most value. I'm grateful to the 3M team for their commitment, hard work and focus as we deliver progress every day. With that, I'll turn it over to Anurag to share the details of the quarter. Anurag?
