BROOKFIELD, Conn. March 4, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Photronics, Inc.
(NASDAQ:PLAB), a worldwide leader in photomask technologies and solutions, today reported financial results for its fiscal 2020 first quarter ended February 2, 2020.
First quarter revenue was a record $159.7 million, 2% better than the previous quarter and 28% better than the same quarter last year. Integrated
circuit (IC) revenue was $107.0 million, down 5% sequentially and up 13% compared with the first quarter of last year. Flat panel display (FPD) revenue of $52.8 million was also a record, up 21% compared with last quarter and 77% compared with the
same period last year.
Net income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders was $10.3 million ($0.16 per diluted share), compared with $9.7 million ($0.15 per diluted
share) for the fourth quarter of 2019 and $5.3 million ($0.08 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2019.
“We continued to perform well in the first quarter, achieving record revenues for the second consecutive quarter, as design activity remained high and
we were able to extend our FPD leadership by bringing more capacity to the market,” said Peter Kirlin, chief executive officer. “IC revenues were up year-over-year, but down sequentially due to seasonal softness. An uptick in operating expenses
associated with ramping our two new facilities drove operating margins below fourth quarter levels. Below the operating line, a foreign exchange gain and other one-time effects resulted in earnings of $0.16 per share. We generated $30.8 million
cash flow from operating activities, resulting in a cash position of $218.3 million. Despite potential short-term impact that may result from the coronavirus, we are optimistic that our long-term goals for 2020 are still on track. We continue to
develop investment plans to drive further profitable growth across our operations.”
Second Quarter 2020 Guidance
For the second 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.
