And now I’ll turn the call over to Balu.

Thanks, Joe, and good afternoon. Our second quarter results were on target with $89 million in sales and better than expected gross margins resulting in strong earnings and more than $26 million in cash flow from operations. We also made good use of our cash continuing our disciplined opportunistic approach to capital allocation. We were confident that our disappointing Q1 results were a function of short-term market deceptions and that our long-term growth story was firmly intact. With that in mind, we viewed the pullback in our share price as an opportunity and deployed more than $25 million during the quarter to buy back stock at an average price of less than $50 per share. We also added $50 million to our buyback authorization and increased our quarterly dividend by 20%. Our Q2 results demonstrate that our confidence was well placed. Revenues grew 7% sequentially led by the consumer market where we saw double-digit sales growth on strength in appliances and consumer electronics. Appliances continue to be a key growth driver reflecting the reliability benefits of our highly integrated products as well as our expanding silicon content driven by energy efficiency standard and the increasing penetration of electronic control in home appliances. In percentage terms, computing was our fastest growing end market with revenues up nearly 20% sequentially, returning to roughly the same level as before the last quarter’s supply chain hiccup. Notably, the first six months of the year, our computing revenues are up 15% from last year, reflecting significant market share gains in both main and standby power supply for PCs. Industrial revenues increased mid single-digit sequentially driven by broad based demand in traditional industrial application such as process control and motor control as well as newer applications like smart meters, LED lighting and IGBT drivers for industrial…

Thank you and good afternoon. Since our results are very straight-forward, I’ll just do a quick review of the Q2 numbers and the outlook and then we will open it up for questions. I will focus my remarks primarily on the non-GAAP numbers which are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP numbers in the tables accompanying our press release. Second quarter revenues were $89 million, up 7% sequentially and squarely in the middle of our forecasted range. On a year-over-year basis, revenues increased 1% against last year’s very strong second quarter. With more favorable comparisons ahead of us and several new products ramping, we expect an acceleration in our year-over-year growth rates over the next several quarters. Revenue mix for the second quarter was 38% consumer, 35% industrial, 15% communication and 12% computer. 78% of revenues in the quarter on sales through distributors while 22% of sales were direct. Non-GAAP gross margin for the quarter was 55.8%, down 60 basis points versus the prior quarter but better than our forecast reflecting favorable end market and product mix. Our gross margin expectations for the balance of the year and particularly for Q4 reflect a somewhat less favorable end market mix as well as increased revenues from new products which tend to carry lower than average margins early in their lifecycle. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the quarter were $29.7 million, up $1.3 million from the prior quarter reflecting annual salary increases which took effect April 1st as well as headcount additions and accelerated R&D spending related to new products. Non-GAAP operating margins for the quarter was 22.4%. Our GAAP tax provision included a benefit of $3.3 million in the second quarter stemming from the completion of our tax audit for the years 2007 through 2009. We have excluded this benefit from our non-GAAP…

Thanks, Sandeep. We’ll open it up now for the Q&A session. In the interest of time, I’d like to ask our callers please to stick to a limited two questions at a time. Time permitting, we’ll certainly be happy to come back around for additional follow-ups. And now, operator, would you please give the Q&A instructions?

(Operator instructions) The first question is from Ross Seymore with Deutsche Bank. Ross Seymore – Deutsche Bank: Hi, guys. Thanks for letting me ask a question. I guess one backward-looking and then one forward-looking. Can you talk a little bit about what was going on in the comm side, I know you mentioned networking was still weak in one big customer, but any more details you can give there and what gives you the confidence that that’s actually going to snap back.

So there were two issues; one on the networking side, as you mentioned, and that customer was actually a little bit lower than we expected in Q2 because they still had some inventory left over. However, we now know that they have cleared their inventory and they will come back in Q3. Not to the original levels, but they will come back recover from where they were in Q2. And in cell phones, our largest customer reduced their forecast further in Q2. So again, they were down more than they originally anticipated. Ross Seymore – Deutsche Bank: As far as the snapback goes though when you talk about comms, it seems like that’s a big driver into the back half of this year. Can you give us any help on kind of magnitudes after a couple of quarters of disappoints, why do you think your biggest customer would come back if in fact that’s part of your guidance?

That’s an excellent question. The reason we think we will do well in cell phones is because of a new design. These are the rapid charge designs that will go into pre-production in Q3 and also into production ramp in Q4 for this specific customer. So that’s where the growth is going to come from in the cell phone. In the networking, of course, they’re going to recover because they have to buy more products now. Ross Seymore – Deutsche Bank: Okay, thank you.

You’re welcome.

The next question is from Steve Smigie with Raymond James. Vince Celentano – Raymond James Financial, Inc.: Hi, thanks. This is Vince Celentano speaking for Steve. I was wondering going forward, does it seem like the appliance business is still looking at a 9% annual growth business?

I can’t rate exactly how fast it will grow, but we definitely see that as a growth area for us because of the fact that we mentioned earlier, which is the electronic content is growing and also a number of appliances that have electronics is growing rapidly. And so because of those two reasons, we are doing really well in appliances. Vince Celentano – Raymond James Financial, Inc.: Okay, great. And now in the LED market, I was wondering if you can talk a little about your share in that market and what are the growth drivers you’re seeing right now.

In the LED market, to the best we can estimate, and it’s really difficult to estimate because the total number of LEDs sold are always changing. But to the best we can estimate, our share is in the low teens. That’s our best estimate. Vince Celentano – Raymond James Financial, Inc.: Okay, great. Thank you.

You’re welcome.

Next question is from Andrew Huang with Stern Agee. Andrew Huang – Stern Agee: Hello, thanks for taking my question, guys.

You’re welcome, Andrew. Andrew Huang – Stern Agee: I guess the first question is, I think up until now you never really talked about which customers you have for Quick Charge but it seems like today you’re being a little bit more specific. Is that a correct interpretation?

Well, I think we have said that we have won three designs in – Andrew Huang – Stern Agee: Right.

And one of them is actually going into full production in Q3, the Chinese company. There are more going into production – ramping into production in Q4. That’s why we think Q4 is going to be seasonally stronger than usual. Andrew Huang – Stern Agee: And did you say that those ramping in Q4 is your biggest OEM customer as well?

I believe I did. Andrew Huang – Stern Agee: Okay. And then I guess the second question I have as a follow-up is, I think on the last earnings call you talked about this new technology where you’re integrating the primary and secondary stages. So maybe you could talk a little bit more about that and when you think that could impact revenue.

Yes. Let me make sure I said the right thing. For the design that is ramping is a rapid charge design. That’s what I was talking about earlier. And as far as the new product that has both primary and secondary integrated onto the same chip, that one is actually in production. It’s shipped as we expected between $0.5 million to $1 million. We’re actually closer to $1 million in Q2. And it’ll continue to ramp in Q3 and we’ll see a more accelerated growth in Q4. Andrew Huang – Stern Agee: And is that particular product again for the cell phone market or is it not for the cell phone market?

It’s actually for all of the markets we’re in for the power level it serves. But our first entry is into the cell phone market because it is a very good fit for the rapid charging application. So we chose to introduce that product first into that market. But we do plan to introduce that more broadly probably later in the year or beginning of next year to other markets. Andrew Huang – Stern Agee: Thank you and I’ll go back to the queue.

Thanks, Andrew.

(Operator instructions) The next question is from Tore Svanberg with Stifel. Your line is open. Tore Svanberg – Stifel, Nicolaus & Co.: Yes, thank you. I guess the first question, Balu, I was hoping you could elaborate a little bit on this better than seasonal Q4. First outlook [ph], you got rapid charge ramping, I’m just trying to understand if there’s any other moving part for that quarter and if we’re now basically looking at moderate growth or should we expect something more material than that.

Rapid charge is one component of that but we also have other new products like Link-HP and also the recently introduced lighting products that we will see growth in Q4 as the designs go into production. So it’s really a number of our new products. Plus, of course, all of our growth drivers will continue to help us in Q4. But from a seasonality point of view, the new products are the ones that are going to give us the above seasonal growth. And our expectation is that the growth will be in the low to mid single-digits relative to Q3. Tore Svanberg – Stifel, Nicolaus & Co.: Very good, thank you. And as my follow-up, I believe the U.S. DOE is coming out with a new efficiency regulation in early 2016. And I believe you recently came out with a product, a LinkSwitch product that actually meets those criteria. I was hoping you could talk a little bit about that and if that’s something that could potentially even have an impact in your business in 2015.

Yes. The DOE standard is called the DOE 6.0 goes into effect January of 2016. And it dramatically tightens the efficiency requirements and no-load requirements for external power supply. The new product I just mentioned which combines primary and secondary into a single package of just – we call it revolutionary typology, that easily meets this requirement today. And so that’s one of the reasons it’ll be used we believe will be very successful in adaptor applications which are external power supplies. The LinkSwitch 3 that we announced also meets the DOE requirements, DOE 6.0 requirement that goes into lower power levels, say, 5 watts and below; whereas the new typology, our new product goes in the 7 watts and above of adaptor [ph], about 25 watts. We also have other products that can meet DEO requirements. So we are well prepared to take advantage of this new standard. And we do expect a positive impact on our growth next year because of this DOE standard. Tore Svanberg – Stifel, Nicolaus & Co.: Thank you, Balu, and congratulations on the results.

Thanks, Tore.

Your next question is from Andrew Huang with Stern Agee. Andrew Huang – Stern Agee: Thanks. When you talk about Q4 and the better than seasonal, when you think about the operating expenses that go along with those incremental revenues, have those already been spent and should I assume that OpEx is going to be flattish still in Q4 relative to Q3?

Yes, Andrew. So this is Sandeep. Basically if you’ll see what happened in Q2, we accelerated some spending on R&D for the new products. And that’s why we had and that’s why I think the expense for the rest of the year will be kind of flat to slightly down from the Q2 levels. Andrew Huang – Stern Agee: Got it.

What we specifically said was we’ll be slightly down in Q3. And in Q4, we’ll be roughly flat to Q2. Andrew Huang – Stern Agee: Okay, got it. And then I guess going back to LED lighting, I think I’ve asked this question in the past, but are you seeing any trend towards like LED light bulbs versus LED fixtures and do you have any kind of bias towards one or the other?

Not necessarily a bias but definitely we are seeing a bifurcation of that market where the LED bulbs are very high volume, so we have more concentrated customer base. Because by definition, the only way to get the LED bulbs to a very low price is by manufacturing in very high volumes. So we are kind of seeing the split where we have a higher volume, lower margin bulb business and a lower volume but higher margin and much more fragmented fixture business. Andrew Huang – Stern Agee: Okay. So if you don’t mind me asking, would you characterize your LED business margins there being in line with corporate average or below or above?

If you take the LED business as a whole, it is definitely above our corporate average. Andrew Huang – Stern Agee: Thank you very much.

You’re welcome.

There are no further questions at this time. I will turn the call back over to the presenters.

Okay. Thanks, everyone, for listening. There will be a replay of this call available on our website, investors.powerint.com. Thanks again for listening and good afternoon.

This concludes today’s conference call. You may now disconnect.
