Industry Volatility Concerns Industry volatility, design complexity, and shifting fabrication methods could reduce long-range photomask demand significantly over time.
Capital Intensive Operations Manufacturing remains capital intensive; revenue decreases risk underutilized capacity impacting operating margins severely and potentially causing impairments.
