The semiconductor test equipment maker reported Q4 FY2025 net sales of $122.23 million, up 29.9% year-over-year and just ahead of the $122.09 million consensus, but its non-GAAP EPS of negative $0.15 missed the $0.06 estimate by 341.94%, underscoring how top-line momentum has yet to translate into profitability. The wider-than-expected loss was driven largely by elevated cost of sales, increased R&D investment, and an $8.69 million income tax provision that weighed heavily on the quarter. On the positive side, recurring revenue grew 25% year-over-year in Q4, reflecting strength in services, interface solutions, and handler-related spares, while test cell utilization climbed to 76% in December, signaling gradual market recovery. Investors are now weighing that growth story against a concerning pattern of persistent losses, with management guiding Q1 FY2026 revenue to approximately $122 million, suggesting sequential performance remains essentially flat as the semiconductor equipment cycle continues its slow-moving recovery.
Key Takeaways
- • Test cell utilization increasing to 76% in December
- • Recurring revenue grew 4% quarter-over-quarter and 25% year-over-year in Q4
- • Strong demand across services, interface solutions, and handler-related spares business
- • Full year 2025 revenue up 13% year-over-year
