- Revenue of $256.5
million
- Operating margin of 20.6%
- Diluted earnings per share of $1.55
BEVERLY,
Mass., July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Axcelis
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACLS) today announced financial results
for the second quarter ended June 30,
2024. The Company reported second quarter revenue of
$256.5 million, compared to
$252.4 million for the first quarter
of 2024. Gross margin for the quarter was 43.8%, compared to 46.0%
in the first quarter. Operating profit for the quarter was
$52.8 million, compared to
$56.5 million for the first quarter.
Net income for the quarter was $50.9
million, or $1.55 per diluted
share, compared to $51.6 million, or
$1.57 per diluted share in the first
quarter.
President and CEO Russell Low
commented, "Axcelis delivered strong financial results in the
second quarter, exceeding our expectations. This was driven by
better-than-expected conversion of evaluation units into revenue as
well as continued robust demand in our Power segment - particularly
silicon carbide, which continues to be a key growth driver for
Axcelis. We are well positioned to execute on our long-term
strategy. As we look to the second half of the year, we expect
revenue to be slightly better than the first half with momentum
expected to build into 2025."
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Jamie Coogan said, "We are very
pleased with our second quarter results. Revenue, operating margin
and earnings per share exceeded our guidance for the period, and we
delivered another quarter of healthy cash flow. Our product
positioning and our disciplined cost structure provide a solid
foundation on which to grow revenue and profitability as our
markets recover."
Business Outlook
For the third quarter ending September 30,
2024, Axcelis expects revenues of approximately $255 million, and earnings per diluted share of
approximately $1.43.

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release and the conference call contain forward-looking
statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act safe
harbor provisions. These statements, which include our expectations
for spending in our industry and guidance for future financial
performance, are based on management's current expectations and
should be viewed with caution. They are subject to various risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements, many of
which are outside the control of the Company, including that
customer decisions to place orders or our product shipments may not
occur when we expect, that orders may not be converted to revenue
in any particular quarter, or at all, whether demand will continue
for the semiconductor equipment we produce or, if not, whether we
can successfully meet changing market requirements, and whether we
will be able to maintain continuity of business relationships with
and purchases by major customers. Increased competitive pressure on
sales and pricing, increases in material and other production costs
that cannot be recouped in product pricing and instability caused
by changing global economic, political or financial conditions
could also cause actual results to differ materially from those in
our forward-looking statements. These risks and other risk factors
relating to Axcelis are described more fully in the most recent
Form 10-K filed by Axcelis and in other documents filed from
time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
