Amtech Systems, Inc. ("Amtech") (NASDAQ: ASYS), a manufacturer of capital equipment, including thermal processing and wafer polishing, and related consumables used in fabricating semiconductor devices, such as silicon carbide (SiC) and silicon power, analog and discrete devices, and electronic assemblies and modules focusing on enabling technologies for electric vehicles (EV) and clean technology (CleanTech) applications, today reported results for its first quarter ended December 31, 2022.
First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial and Operational Highlights:
“While the uncertain macroeconomic outlook and timing of capacity expansion projects are creating near-term softness for our advanced packaging and SMT products, demand for EV applications remained robust, with customer orders of $25.2 million during our first quarter of fiscal 2023. Together with our recent acquisition of Entrepix, we are confident that our strategy to align our divisions to high-growth megatrend markets, such as EV and silicon carbide is gaining traction. We believe this strategic alignment to megatrend growth areas across multiple product and customer touchpoints creates a strong and durable foundation for value creation in the coming years,” commented Mr. Michael Whang, Chief Executive Officer of Amtech.

Net revenues decreased 33% sequentially and 19% from the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower shipments of our semiconductor and polishing equipment, partially offset by an increase in consumable shipments compared to the prior year quarter.
Gross margin was relatively consistent among periods.
Selling, General & Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $1.9 million on a sequential basis and $2.1 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to $1.4 million in acquisition costs and consulting and ERP expenses.
Research, Development and Engineering was relatively flat sequentially and decreased $0.2 million compared to the same prior year period.
Operating loss was $2.7 million, compared to operating income of $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and operating income of $1.2 million in the same prior year period.
Income tax benefit was less than $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to a provision of $0.6 million in the preceding quarter and $0.2 million in the same prior year period.
Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $2.7 million, or 20 cents per share. This compares to net income of $4.2 million, or 30 cents per share, for the preceding quarter and net income of $1.0 million, or 7 cents per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
Outlook
The Company’s outlook reflects the ongoing logistical impacts and the related delays for goods shipped to and from China. Actual results may differ materially in the weeks and months ahead. Additionally, the semiconductor equipment industries can be cyclical and inherently impacted by changes in market demand. Operating results can be significantly impacted, positively or negatively, by the timing of orders, system shipments, and the financial results of semiconductor manufacturers.
For the second fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, which will include Entrepix, revenues are expected to be in the range of $30 to $32 million with operating margin in the low single digits, excluding approximately $1.1 million in acquisition costs.
A portion of Amtech's results is denominated in Renminbis, a Chinese currency. The outlook provided in this press release is based on an assumed exchange rate between the United States Dollar and the Renminbi. Changes in the value of the Renminbi in relation to the United States Dollar could cause actual results to differ from expectations.

The forward-looking statements in this press release relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this press release. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements regarding Amtech's future financial results, operating results, business strategies, projected costs, products under development, competitive positions, plans and objectives of Amtech and its management for future operations, efforts to improve operational efficiencies and effectiveness and profitably grow our revenue, and enhancements to our technologies and expansion of our product portfolio. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "may," "plan," "anticipate," "seek," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "believe," "continue," "predict," "potential," "project," "should," "would," "could", "likely," "future," "target," "forecast," "goal," "observe," and "strategy" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology used in this press release or by our management, which are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. The Form 10-K that Amtech filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for the year-ended September 30, 2022, listed various important factors that could affect the Company's future operating results and financial condition and could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results and expectations based on forward-looking statements made in this document or elsewhere by Amtech or on its behalf. These factors can be found under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Form 10-K and in our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Qs, and investors should refer to them. Because it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors, any such list cannot be considered a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.
