2025 Annual Earnings Highlights

Key Highlights

Operating Loss Narrows Significantly Loss from operations reduced to $(3.2)M USD in 2025 from $(92.5)M in 2024; driven by $76.0M gain from EA cessation activities.
Backlog and Bookings Surge Fiscal 2025 bookings reached $750.8M USD, a substantial increase over $431.0M in 2024; backlog grew to $245.3M USD.
Gross Margin Expansion Noted Total gross profit margin increased 440 basis points to 42.5% in 2025, supported by favorable product mix shifts across key segments.
Liquidity Remains Strong Total cash, equivalents, and investments stood at $510.7M USD as of October 4, 2025, providing sufficient liquidity for foreseeable needs.

Risk Factors

Macroeconomic Headwinds Persist Volatile global conditions, inflation, and declining consumer sentiment exacerbate inventory buildup; visibility into future demand remains limited.
Geopolitical Tensions Threaten Operations Ongoing Middle East conflict and US-China trade tensions create uncertainty impacting supply chains, export controls, and market stability.
EA Cessation Wind-Down Risks Winding down Electronics Assembly business through FY2026 may incur unforeseen additional expenses or delays outside management control.
High Customer Concentration Risk Top ten customers accounted for 54.8% of net revenue in 2025; losing a significant customer could materially reduce revenue.

Outlook

Prioritizing Core Assembly Business Strategy focuses on winding down EA equipment business to prioritize core semiconductor assembly opportunities and enhance through-cycle performance.
Advanced Packaging R&D Focus Continued investment in R&D for advanced packaging solutions like 2.5D/3D ICs and Chiplets to maintain technology leadership position.
Capital Return Programs Continue Existing cash position supports planned dividend payments and share repurchases under the New Program, with $233.8M remaining authorization.
ERP System Implementation Ongoing Implementing new enterprise resource planning system requires significant resources; delays or failure could adversely affect financial reporting capabilities.
