|
BROOKFIELD, Conn. May 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Photronics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLAB), a worldwide leader in photomask technologies and solutions, today reported financial results for its fiscal 2020 second quarter
ended May 3, 2020.
Second quarter revenue was $142.8 million, 11% lower than the previous quarter and 9% better than the same quarter last year. Integrated circuit (IC) revenue was $96.8 million, down 9% sequentially and down 2% compared
with the second quarter of last year. Flat panel display (FPD) revenue was $45.9 million, down 13% compared with last quarter and up 39% compared with the same period last year.
Net income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders was $6.3 million ($0.10 per diluted share), compared with $10.3 million ($0.16 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2020 and $8.5 million ($0.13 per
diluted share) for the second quarter of 2019.
“Our entire organization performed well, working hard to meet customer needs during an unprecedented period characterized by supply chain challenges and growing uncertainty,” said Peter Kirlin, chief executive officer.
“Our business was soft in China, due primarily to shelter-in-place directives that caused some customers to push out orders, particularly for IC foundries and high-end display panel production. As we ended the quarter, most of these directives were
lifted and demand began strengthening. Our low-cost focus and strong balance sheet are helping us to navigate the uncertainty. We remain focused on compelling long-term growth opportunities and are committed to investing to expand market share and
maintain technology leadership, primarily in mobile display applications, which we anticipate will continue to grow.”
Third Quarter 2020 Guidance
For the third quarter of 2020, Photronics expects revenue to be between $145 million and $155 million, and net income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders to be between $0.11 and $0.17 per diluted share.
