Photronics Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2020 Results
August 27 2020 - 6:00AM
Photronics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLAB), a worldwide leader in
photomask technologies and solutions, today reported financial
results for its fiscal 2020 third quarter ended August 2, 2020.
Third quarter revenue was $157.9 million, 11%
better than the previous quarter and 14% better than the same
quarter last year. Integrated circuit (IC) revenue was $108.7
million, up 12% sequentially and 8% compared with the third quarter
of last year. Flat panel display (FPD) revenue was $49.2 million,
up 7% compared with last quarter and 30% compared with the same
period last year.
Net income attributable to Photronics, Inc.
shareholders was $10.8 million ($0.17 per diluted share), compared
with $6.3 million ($0.10 per diluted share) for the second quarter
of 2020 and $6.3 million ($0.10 per diluted share) for the third
quarter of 2019.
"Customer demand improved this quarter, and we
achieved double-digit revenue growth rates compared with last
quarter and last year due to our diverse market position and
technology leadership,” said Peter Kirlin, chief executive officer.
“China demand recovered for both IC and FPD, with total revenue of
product shipped to China increasing 10% compared with the previous
quarter. From a market perspective, mainstream IC and high-end FPD
were notable areas of strength. We were able to leverage the growth
in revenues to expand profit margins, while also managing expenses,
resulting in 12.6% operating margin and $0.17 earnings per diluted
share. Our cash balance grew to $260.6 million, providing us with
financial strength and flexibility as we look to continue our
strategic growth investments. We are well placed to pursue
attractive organic growth opportunities and expand our leadership
position.”
