First Quarter Results

Earlier this month, the Massachusetts-based company also released its first quarter results for the current fiscal year (FY). Axcelis Technologies reported a total revenue of $67.50 million, which is significantly above expectations. However, it is slightly lower than the $70.50 million revenue reported during the previous quarter. For the period, the company had a net income of $1.90 million, which is equivalent to an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.02. This, on the other hand, is significantly better than the net income of $800,000, which is equivalent to an EPS of $0.01, during the previous period.

For the current period ending on June 30, the company is anticipating a revenue of about $60 million. Operating profit, meanwhile, is expected to come at around $1 million to $2 million. The company also gave a gross margin guidance range of about 30%.
