The turnaround was driven by stronger-than-anticipated demand across general semiconductor, memory, automotive, and industrial end markets, pushing gross margin to 49.3% and non-GAAP operating margin to 19.1%, compared to negative 16.9% a year ago. The company also swung to GAAP net income of $35.15 million from a GAAP net loss of $84.52 million in the year-ago quarter, which had been weighed down by $39.82 million in impairment charges. Looking ahead, K&S guided fiscal Q3 revenue to approximately $310 million and non-GAAP EPS of approximately $1.00, while raising its full-year capital expenditure target to roughly $22 million to expand production capacity for Thermo-Compression bonding systems toward an annual sales capacity of approximately $400 million.
Key Takeaways
- • Stronger than anticipated demand driven by technology and capacity needs across general semiconductor, memory, automotive, and industrial end markets
- • Gross margin expansion to 49.3%
- • Non-GAAP operating margin improvement to 19.1%
KLIC Forward Guidance & Outlook
For fiscal Q3 2026 (ending July 4, 2026), K&S expects net revenue of approximately $310 million +/- $20 million, GAAP diluted EPS of approximately $0.87 +/- 10%, and non-GAAP diluted EPS of approximately $1.00 +/- 10%.
