Axcelis Announces Financial Results for Fourth
Quarter and Full Year 2023
Record Revenue for 2023, Achieving Year-Over-Year
Growth of 23%
BEVERLY,
Mass. — Feb. 7, 2024—Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACLS) today announced financial results
for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.
Highlights include:
|
· |
Record full year revenue, operating profit and EPS, enabling the Company to surpass its $1.1 billion revenue model. |
|
· |
Continued strong growth from the Purion Power Series™ product line. |
|
· |
Significant increase in Purion™ installed base drove record CS&I revenue. |
|
· |
Year-end systems backlog of $1.2 billion. |
For the full year 2023, the Company reported revenue of $1.13 billion,
compared with $920 million for the full year 2022, an increase of 23% and a company record. Systems revenue for the year was $883.6 million,
compared to $692.1 million in 2022, an increase of 28%, also a company record. Operating profit was $265.8 million in 2023, compared
to $212.4 million in 2022, a 25% increase and a company record. Net income for the year was $246.3 million with diluted earnings per
share of $7.43, compared to net income of $183.1 million and diluted earnings per share of $5.46 in 2022, resulting in a 35% net income
year over year increase. Gross margin for the year was 43.5%, compared to 43.7% in 2022.
The Company reported fourth quarter revenue of $310.3 million, compared
to $292.3 million for the third quarter of 2023. Operating profit for the quarter was $79.1 million, compared to $71.7 million for the
third quarter. Net income for the quarter was $71.1 million, or $2.15 per diluted share, compared to $65.9 million, or $1.99 per diluted
share in the third quarter. Gross margin for the quarter was 44.4%, unchanged from the third quarter. The fourth quarter ended with bookings
of $235.5 million and a systems backlog of $1.2 billion.
President and CEO Russell Low commented, “2023 was another outstanding
year for Axcelis. As a result of strong execution by the Axcelis team and robust demand for the Purion Power Series product family,
we achieved 23% year-over-year revenue growth during an industry downturn. We have developed a large and diverse customer base in the
power market, and we continue to win business from new customers as well as expand our product footprint with existing customers. We
believe that the mature process technology and memory segments, two markets in which Axcelis is well-positioned, will recover in the
second half of the year, enabling strong growth in 2025.”
News
Release
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Jamie Coogan
said, “We are extremely pleased with our 2023 results, and excited about our future growth. Our revenue and earnings per share
finished above our revised guidance, and we ended the quarter with robust cash flow and a strong balance sheet. As we look to 2024, we
will continue to make investments in R&D while managing expenses, setting us up to achieve our $1.3 billion revenue model in 2025.”
Business
Outlook
For the first quarter ending March 31, 2024, Axcelis expects revenues of approximately $242 million.
First quarter operating profit is forecast to be approximately $45 million with earnings per diluted share of around $1.22. Gross
margin in the first quarter is expected to be approximately 43.5%, and for the full year we expect it to improve year over year but
could fluctuate quarter to quarter. We expect full year 2024 revenue to be similar to 2023, with revenue weighted toward the second
half.

Safe Harbor
Statement
This press release and the conference call contain forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act safe harbor provisions. These statements, which include our expectations for spending in our industry and guidance for future financial
performance, are based on management’s current expectations and should be viewed with caution. They are subject to various risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, many of which are
outside the control of the Company, including that customer decisions to place orders or our product shipments may not occur when we
expect, that orders may not be converted to revenue in any particular quarter, or at all, whether demand will continue for the semiconductor
equipment we produce or, if not, whether we can successfully meet changing market requirements, and whether we will be able to maintain
continuity of business relationships with and purchases by major customers. Increased competitive pressure on sales and pricing, increases
in material and other production costs that cannot be recouped in product pricing and instability caused by changing global economic,
political or financial conditions could also cause actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements.
These risks and other risk factors relating to Axcelis are described more fully in the most recent Form 10-K filed by Axcelis and
in other documents filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
