Aehr Test Systems Reports Fiscal 2025 First Quarter Financial Results and Reaffirms Full-Year Guidance 10/10/2024 FREMONT, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 10, 2024 / Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ:AEHR), a worldwide supplier of semiconductor test and burn-in equipment, today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2025 ended August 30, 2024. Fiscal First Quarter Financial Results: Net revenue was $13.1 million, compared to $20.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. GAAP net income was $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $4.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Non-GAAP net income, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, and amortization of intangible assets, was $2.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $5.2 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Bookings were $16.8 million for the quarter. Backlog as of August 30, 2024 was $16.6 million. Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of August 30, 2024 were $40.8 million, compared to $49.3 million at May 31, 2024, reflecting $10.6 million in net cash paid during the quarter for the acquisition of Incal Technology, Inc. An explanation of the use of non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of Aehr's non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in the accompanying tables. Gayn Erickson, President and CEO of Aehr Test Systems, commented: "We finished the first quarter with revenue and non-GAAP net income ahead of consensus estimates and are off to a good start to our fiscal year. Silicon carbide wafer level burn-in test systems and full wafer contactors are poised to be key contributors to revenue again this year. We are also forecasting material bookings and revenue contributions from several other markets this fiscal year, as we are successfully executing on our strategy to expand our test and burn-in products into other large and fast-growing markets such as artificial intelligence processors, gallium nitride power semiconductors, hard disk drive components and flash memory devices. "We have been seeing a stabilization and increasingly positive discussions within the silicon carbide power semiconductor market over the past quarter. Electric vehicle (EV) suppliers are clearly moving towards silicon carbide in integrated modules, combining silicon carbide MOSFETs into single packages to meet the industry's power, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness demands. Due to the need for extensive test and burn-in of these devices to ensure reliability for mission-critical applications like EVs, the benefits of conducting this screening at the wafer level before integrating them into modules, which may sometimes contain 32 or more other devices, are becoming clear. The process improves yields and reduces costs, driving demand for wafer level burn-in, an area where Aehr Test stands as the low-cost leader and proven solution for this critical testing. We are highly optimistic about our silicon carbide business and expect it to gain momentum over the next few quarters. Our silicon carbide customers are forecasting capacity expansion needs in calendar 2025, with several anticipating purchases of one or two systems in early 2025, followed by production volumes in the second half of the year, and ramping further into 2026.
