BROOKFIELD, Conn. May 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Photronics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLAB), a worldwide leader in photomask technologies and
solutions, today reported financial results for its fiscal 2021 second quarter ended May 2, 2021.
Second quarter revenue was $159.8 million, up 5% compared with the previous quarter and 12% compared with the same quarter last year. Integrated circuit (IC)
revenue was $112.0 million, up 7% sequentially and 16% compared with the second quarter of last year. Flat panel display (FPD) revenue was $47.8 million, up 1% compared with last quarter and 4% compared with the same period last year.
Net income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders was $10.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared with $8.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted
share, for the first quarter of 2021 and $6.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020.
"We achieved record revenue in the quarter, with growth in both IC and FPD, demonstrating the strength and resiliency of our design-driven demand model,
supported by world-class capabilities and unmatched global presence,” said Peter Kirlin, chief executive officer. “Our customers are responding to growing demand for their products, as they innovate to meet more advanced specifications. This
creates an environment with strong design activity, driving mask demand across our business. As the largest merchant photomask manufacturer, we are well positioned to benefit from these trends. This ongoing market
strength gives us confidence in meeting our long-term financial objectives as well as support for continued investment to expand capacity in our operations. Gross and operating margins expanded to 24.6 % and 13.0 %, respectively; and we are
solidly executing our 2021 plan to outperform our market and increase operating profit by 23%.”
