Photronics Reports Full Year and Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results
BROOKFIELD, Conn. December 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Photronics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLAB), a worldwide leader in photomask technologies and solutions, today reported
financial results for its fiscal 2022 full year and fourth quarter ended October 31, 2022.
“We posted a solid finish to a great year, achieving record revenue for the fifth consecutive year as demand for our design-driven products remained strong and our
entire team performed well,” said Frank Lee, chief executive officer. “In the quarter, IC was soft, primarily due to lower high-end logic demand from foundries in Asia. High-end FPD also declined as panel makers of premium smart phones are focused on
producing new products and have temporarily slowed design activity. Profit margins were flat sequentially as positive pricing and cost management offset the impact from lower volumes. We generated strong cash from operations, allowing us to invest in
organic growth and reduce debt, strengthening our balance sheet and positioning us to support our growth strategy as well as helping us to navigate economic uncertainty. The global Photronics team performed well in 2022 and we believe we will
continue to achieve our goals in 2023 and beyond.”
