The steep annual decline reflects a semiconductor equipment market still working through a prolonged cyclical trough, compounded by the company's deliberate exit from its Electronics Assembly equipment business, a restructuring move that weighed on headcount and revenue comparisons but generated a $75.99 million gain earlier in the fiscal year. Gross margin held firm at 46.7%, up 10 basis points from a year ago, underscoring the underlying resilience of the business even as GAAP results swung to a net loss of $3.29 million. Looking ahead, management guided fiscal Q4 revenue to approximately $170 million, plus or minus $10 million, with non-GAAP EPS of approximately $0.22, signaling expectations for a meaningful sequential recovery driven by technology transitions across memory, automotive, and industrial end markets.

Key Takeaways

  • Revenue declined 18.3% year-over-year and 8.4% sequentially
  • Gross margin improved 10 bps year-over-year to 46.7% despite lower revenue
  • Non-GAAP net income of $3.8 million vs. GAAP net loss of $3.3 million
  • Operating expenses remained relatively controlled at $75.3 million vs. $76.5 million year-ago
