Photronics Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results
21 Febrero 2024 - 5:30AM
Photronics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLAB), a worldwide leader in photomask
technologies and solutions, today reported financial results for
its first quarter of fiscal year 2024 ended January 28, 2024.
“First quarter revenue increased year-over-year
even though typically lower seasonal demand was weaker than
anticipated, especially in the beginning of the quarter. Order
rates improved through the quarter, continuing into second
quarter,” said Frank Lee, chief executive officer. “High-end IC
revenue increased both sequentially and year-over-year, primarily
in 22nm and 28nm nodes, as customers continue migration to these
nodes for improved performance and optimal cost. High-end FPD also
increased over last year’s first quarter, but decreased from the
fourth quarter due to typically lower seasonal demand for premium
smartphone displays that use AMOLED technology. Operating margin
increased year-over-year, but contracted sequentially, resulting
from operating leverage in the year-over-year result and the impact
of higher operating expenses in the sequential comparison. Cash
generation remains strong, further strengthening our balance sheet
with ample liquidity for our profitable growth investments. The
Photronics team continues their outstanding performance, and with
expectations for growth in the second quarter, we are building
momentum for another record year in 2024.”

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release
constitute “forward-looking statements” regarding our industry, our
strategic position, and our financial and operating results. These
forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or
achievements to differ materially. Please refer to the documents we
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These documents
contain and identify important factors that could cause our actual
results to differ materially from those contained in these
forward-looking statements. These certain factors can be found at
www.photronics.com/riskfactors. Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity,
performance, or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of
the forward-looking statements after the date of this release to
conform these statements to actual results.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP Net Income attributable to Photronics,
Inc. shareholders and non-GAAP earnings per share, Free Cash Flow,
and Net Cash are “non-GAAP financial measures” as such term is
defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and may differ
from similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other
companies. The attached financial supplement reconciles Photronics,
Inc. financial results under GAAP to non-GAAP financial
information. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures that
exclude certain items are useful for analysts and investors to
evaluate our future on-going performance because they enable a more
meaningful comparison of our projected performance with our
historical results. These non-GAAP metrics are not intended to
represent funds available for our discretionary use and are not
intended to represent, or be used as a substitute for, gross
profit, operating income, net income, cash and cash equivalents, or
cash flows from operations, as measured under GAAP. The items
excluded from these non-GAAP metrics, but included in the
calculation of their closest GAAP equivalent, are significant
components of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and
statement of cash flows and must be considered in performing a
comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance. Please
refer to the non-GAAP reconciliations on the following pages.
