Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Ciena's Fiscal Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results Conference Call. All participants will be listen-only mode. [Operator Instructions] After today's presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. [Operator Instructions] Please note this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Gregg Lampf, Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go ahead. <> Thank you, George. Good morning and welcome to Ciena's 2023 fiscal second quarter conference call. On the call today is Gary Smith, President and CEO; and Jim Moylan, CFO. Scott McFeely, Executive Advisor is also with us for Q&A. In addition to this call and the press release, we have posted to the Investors section of our website an accompanying investor presentation that reflects this discussion as well as certain highlighted items from the quarter. Our comments today speak to our recent performance, our view on current market dynamics and drivers of our business, as well as a discussion of our financial outlook. Today's discussion includes certain adjusted or non-GAAP measures of Ciena's results of operations. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to our GAAP results is included in today's press release. Before turning the call over to Gary, I'll remind you that during this call, we'll be making certain forward-looking statements. Such statements including our quarterly and annual guidance, commentary on market dynamics, and discussion of market opportunities and strategy are based on current expectations, forecasts, and assumptions regarding the company and its markets, which include risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements discussed today. Assumptions relating to our outlook, whether mentioned on this call or included in the investor presentation that we will post shortly after, are important part of such forward-looking statements and we encourage you to consider them. Our forward-looking statements should also be viewed in the context of the risk factors detailed in our most recent 10-K and our 10-Q, which will be filed with the SEC today. Ciena assumes no obligation to update the information discussed in this conference call, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. As always, we'll allow for as much Q&A as possible today, though we'll ask that you limit yourself to one question and one follow-up. With that, I'll turn it over to Gary. <> Thanks Greg and good morning everyone. As you've seen from the press release today, we reported strong fiscal second quarter revenue of $911 million and adjusted gross margin of 43.5%. Our Q2 performance also included quarterly adjusted operating margin of 6.8% and quarterly adjusted EPS of $0.27 and we generated $42 million in free cash flow in the quarter. Later in the call, Jim will provide additional details about our Q2 financial performance as well as highlights from the quarter with respect to our portfolio and business outlook. Since we spoke with you about 90 days ago, industry dynamics and therefore, our current operating environment are largely unchanged. Specifically, the drivers of bandwidth demand remained strong and durable. Increasing cloud adoption and a growing number of AI use cases are accelerating global data generation. As a result, network traffic is increasing and forecast to continue growing at a strong rate. This all really means that demand for bandwidth will continue to grow at 30% CAGR, if not more. But despite this positive secular demand, as we all know, it is taking longer than we and others in our industry initially expected for service providers to absorb and deploy the large amount of inventory they have accumulated over the last year or so. And we are still seeing some caution related to macroeconomic concerns, particularly internationally. Importantly, we continue to believe these dynamics are temporary and we are seeing some encouraging signs of recovery beginning to emerge, including with respect to order volumes. In fact, there were several highlights from Q2 that I think illustrate not only an improving service provider environment overall, but also accelerating cloud provider dynamics and the overall momentum in our business. Specifically, with respect to our service provider customers, orders in Q2 increased from the prior quarter and service provider revenue was up sequentially in Q2. Our 10% customer in the quarter was a service provider. Very importantly, service provider inventory levels are starting to decline and service provider engagement and RFP activity levels are higher than in the past several quarters, resulting in several recent new wins and a growing pipeline of opportunities. For example, we secured a significant design win in Q2 with a leading North American Tier 1 service provider for a multiyear network evolution project that includes both our line systems as well as our transponders. Based on these data points, we believe that order flows from our service provider customers will continue to improve from here. Turning to our cloud provider customers in Q2. We secured important new design wins in this customer segment across terrestrial, submarine, and Coherent pluggable applications as we leverage the opportunities presented by strategic investments to build out their data center infrastructures. Two of these wins include long-term awards for deployment of our optical systems across their global network infrastructure. We are also starting to build meaningful momentum with cloud providers for Coherent pluggables. In addition to the significant design win we announced last quarter for our 400 gig
