Revenue of $244.47 million rose 21.4% year-over-year but barely missed the $244.95 million consensus estimate, while non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.12 came in 54.09% below the $0.26 analyst forecast, a gap wide enough to prompt scrutiny from investors and, notably, a shareholder investigation into the results. The primary pressure point was profitability; despite non-GAAP gross margin inching up to 12.4% from 12.2% a year ago, thin operating leverage and $1.55 million in severance costs tied to restructuring, including a planned exit from Scotland operations, weighed on earnings. Capital expenditures surging to $18.48 million left the company with just $496,000 in free cash flow for the quarter. Looking ahead, Ichor guided Q2 revenue of $225 million to $245 million with non-GAAP EPS of $0.10 to $0.22, while flagging policy uncertainty from Washington as a growing headwind to demand visibility.
