Tower Semiconductor and Coherent Demonstrate 400Gbps/lane Data Transmission with a Silicon Modulator in a Production-Ready Sipho Process

The demonstration uses a silicon MZM without use of exotic materials targeting next-generation 3.2T optical transceivers

MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, March 23, 2026 –
Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ/TASE: TSEM), the leading foundry for high-value analog semiconductor solutions and Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a global leader in photonics, today announced a breakthrough demonstration of 400 Gbps/lane data transmission using a silicon modulator built in a production-ready silicon photonics (SiPho) process. This achievement targets next-generation 3.2T optical transceivers and extends the capabilities of silicon for pluggable transceivers and Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) in datacenter connections.

Details of the modulator were presented last week at OFC. The demonstration showed a clear open eye at 420 Gb/s PAM4, and utilized Coherent’s InP CW high power laser. The performance milestone was enabled by the strong collaboration between Coherent’s advanced design expertise and Tower Semiconductor’s industry-leading SiPho platform.

The Optical transceiver market continues to outpace prior projections and next-generation bandwidth is required to continue the exponential growth in AI infrastructure.

“We strongly value the partnership with Coherent and are very excited about this breakthrough,” said Russell Ellwanger, CEO of Tower Semiconductor. “The result can extend the use of silicon for another generation of transceivers, re-utilizing the large multi-fab capacity investments we continue to make while we proceed with our work on more advanced material systems for next-generations”.

“We are pleased to partner with Tower Semiconductor on Silicon Photonics Platforms,” said Jim Anderson, CEO of Coherent. “Together with Tower Semiconductor, we are advancing high-performance optical interconnects for AI-driven data centers.”

Sprouts Farmers Market Signs Tax Credit Investment Deal to Advance Energy Security

Sprouts Farmers Market Signs Tax Credit Investment Deal to Advance Energy Security

  • Agreement advances clean energy development, strengthens American jobs, and drives next-generation technology leadership

  • Project expected to power approximately 19,000 homes annually and avoid 145,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions each year

PHOENIX–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, and Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (Nasdaq: SFM), today announced a landmark Tax Credit Transfer (“TCT”) in collaboration with U.S. Bank, and Longroad Energy. This agreement advances the Sun Pond Solar + Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Maricopa County, Ariz. – home to Sprouts’ headquarters – and represents a significant step toward driving positive impact in the communities where Sprouts operates.

Schneider Electric Advisory Services served as a strategic advisor to Sprouts, streamlining the renewable energy investment process. The project delivers energy, improves air quality, and enhances local grid resilience through battery storage. It will also help strengthen the regional tax base, bringing long-term economic and environmental benefits to Arizona communities.

Sprouts’ investment has helped bring online a 111 MWdc solar and 85 MWac / 340 MWh storage project, expected to power approximately 19,000 homes annually and avoid 145,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions each year. Over its lifetime, Sun Pond will contribute more than $30 million in revenue for Arizona schools and communities through long-term leases and tax remittances. The project also leverages American-made technology and workforce development, employing more than 200 workers during construction, including registered apprentices.

“This work is anchored in Sprouts’ purpose of helping people live and eat better,” said Brandon Lombardi, Chief Legal and Sustainability Officer of Sprouts Farmers Market. “By supporting new renewable energy projects, we’re taking tangible steps to care for our planet, people, and local communities.”

The Sun Pond project is part of the Longroad Sun Streams Complex and features an energy storage platform provided by Fluence, a U.S.-based company, with U.S.-made inverters integrated into the system. Construction is complete, and commercial operations have commenced.

“This deal demonstrates how companies like Sprouts can lead the way in responsible renewables,” said John Powers, Vice President of Strategic Renewables at Schneider Electric. “Through Schneider Electric Advisory Services, we help clients navigate complex negotiations and deliver solutions that align with their climate goals.”

“U.S. Bank is grateful for SE Advisory Services collaboration and Sprouts’ trust in us to close this investment that meets their financial and sustainability objectives while bringing additional capital into the renewable energy sector,” said Timmi Kloster, Senior Vice President, Tax Credit Syndications at U.S. Bancorp Impact Finance, the community development and environmental finance division of U.S. Bank. “By pairing Sprouts with Longroad Energy’s Sun Pond solar and storage projects, SE Advisory Services and U.S. Bank’s syndications teams delivered a tailored solution that provides predictable tax benefits and helps expand clean energy generation, storage and local jobs in Arizona.”

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Metrics

In addition to the financial measures presented in this release in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net (loss) income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA margin. These non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with useful information in evaluating our operating performance and exclude certain items from net income that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from period to period.

We define EBITDA as net (loss) income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs, showroom pre-opening expense, equity-based compensation expense, certain non-operating expenses and income, and other unusual and/or infrequent costs, which that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance of our core operations. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA calculated as a percentage of net sales. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which eliminate the impact of certain expenses that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance, provide useful information to investors to assess the performance of our business.

We define Adjusted Net (loss) income as net (loss) income adjusted for the impact of certain additional non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance of our core operations. These items include showroom pre-opening expense, equity-based compensation expense, costs to fund the Brilliant Earth Foundation and transaction costs and other expenses. We define Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share as Adjusted Net (loss) income, divided by the diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. The diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding is derived from the historical diluted weighted average shares of common stock assuming such shares were outstanding for the entirety of the period presented. We believe Adjusted Net (loss) income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, which eliminate the impact of certain expenses that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance, provide useful information to investors to assess the performance of our business.

Please refer to “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” located in the financial supplement in this release for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.

This release includes forward-looking guidance for certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA. These measures will differ from net (loss) income, determined in accordance with GAAP, in ways similar to those described in the reconciliations at the end of this release. We are not able to provide, without unreasonable effort, guidance for net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, or a reconciliation of guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the Company is not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in net income.

This press release also contains certain key business metrics which are used to evaluate our business and growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, and assess operational efficiencies. We define net cash as cash and cash equivalents less the total principal balance of our outstanding debt. We define Bookings for each period as the dollar value of confirmed orders as of the date of order placement. We believe Bookings, which represent a measure of gross sales and potential future Net Sales, provide useful information to investors to assess the performance of our business. We define total orders as the total number of customer orders delivered less total orders returned in a given period (excluding those repair, resize, and other orders which have no revenue). We view total orders as a key indicator of the velocity of our business and an indication of the desirability of our products to our customers. Total orders, together with AOV, is an indicator of the net sales we expect to recognize in a given period. Total orders may fluctuate based on the number of visitors to our website and showrooms, and our ability to convert these visitors to customers. We believe that total orders is a measure that is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in an analysis of ongoing operating trends. We define average order value, or AOV, as net sales in a given period divided by total orders in that period. We define average selling price, or ASP, as the total retail sales price of products sold in a given period divided by the total number of product units sold during that same period. We believe that AOV and ASP are measures that are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in an analysis of ongoing operating trends. AOV varies depending on the product type and number of items per order. AOV and ASP may also fluctuate as we expand into and increase our presence in additional product types and price points, and open additional showrooms.
