• For non-standard products where we have not effectively demonstrated the ability to meet specifications in the customer environment, we defer revenue until we have met such customer specifications. Any delay in meeting customer specifications could have a material adverse effect on our operating res…

• Changes in U.S. tariff policies, retaliatory trade measures taken by other countries and resulting trade wars may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

• Changes in U.S. tariff policy, import restrictions, export controls, sanctions, retaliatory trade measures, and broader trade disputes have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Although certain tariffs previously impo…

• These measures have increased, and may continue to increase, our cost of revenues and operating expenses by raising the cost of imported raw materials, components, equipment, and other inputs used in our business. Trade restrictions and tariffs imposed by the United States or by other countries may …

• Our efforts to address these risks, such as through operational adjustments and pricing strategies, may not be successful. Such efforts may need time to take effect and may have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

• Our operating results and cash flows can vary significantly from period to period due to the timing, volume, and mix of customer orders, particularly because a substantial portion of our revenue is derived from a relatively small number of high-value systems sales. As a result, the number, type, and…

• Demand for our products is influenced by conditions in the semiconductor industry and in the end markets served by our customers, including demand related to generative AI, silicon photonics and power semiconductors including silicon carbide and gallium nitride. During fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026, o…

• In addition, our results of operations have been affected by changes in revenue mix across systems, contactors, and services, as well as by the integration and contribution of the acquired business. Because these factors can affect revenue levels, gross margins, operating expenses, and working capit…

• Recent changes in U.S. trade and tariff policies, including potential modifications to existing tariffs and the outcome of ongoing regulatory, administrative, or legal developments, may affect the cost of our imported goods, our supply chain, and, accordingly, our gross margins and operating results…

• We recognize deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) for deductible temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards to the extent we conclude it is more likely than not that such DTAs will be realized. Our DTAs relate solely to U.S. federal and state income taxes. At each …

• We assess the likelihood that we are able to recover our deferred tax assets. If recovery is not more likely than not, we increase our provision for taxes by recording a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be recoverable. In determining…

• Beginning on June 1, 2024, we have changed our fiscal year to the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Friday nearest May 31. Our fiscal year 2025 ended on May 30, 2025. Each of our fiscal years in 2024 and 2023 ended on May 31.

• Revenue decreased by $7.3 million in fiscal year 2025 over fiscal year 2024 driven by a decrease in shipments of our systems and contactors primarily due to the continued softness in the power semiconductor demand for electric vehicles. Our product revenue decreased by $8.9 million due to the decrea…

• Revenue increased by $1.3 million in fiscal year 2024 over fiscal year 2023, primarily driven by higher sales in our contactors. Our contactors revenue increased by $15.7 million, and our services revenue increased by $0.3 million. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in systems revenue o…

• For fiscal year 2024, total revenues increased compared to the same period in the prior year due to an increase in international revenues as a result of more shipments to our customers in Europe and Asia, partially offset by the decline in revenue from a customer in the United States.
