Aehr Test Systems Reports Over $37 Million in Quarterly Bookings Driven by Strong AI and Data Center Infrastructure DemandApril 7, 2026 4:05 PM
ACCESS NewswireFREMONT, CA / ACCESS Newswire / April 7, 2026 / Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ:AEHR), a leading provider of test and burn-in solutions for semiconductor devices used in artificial intelligence (AI), data center, automotive, and industrial applications, today announced financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2026, ended February 27, 2026.The company reported strong quarterly bookings of $37.2 million, representing a book-to-bill ratio of over 3.5x, reflecting strong customer demand across both wafer-level burn-in (WLBI) and package-level burn-in (PLBI) applications. The company expects a significant near-term follow-on production order from its lead hyperscale customer for PLBI systems for custom AI processors and now expects bookings to be on the high end of the previously stated range of $60 million to $80 million in its fiscal 2026 second half ending May 29, 2026.Fiscal Third Quarter Financial Results:Net revenue was $10.3 million, compared to $18.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.GAAP net loss was $(3.2) million, or $(0.10) per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss of $(0.6) million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.Non-GAAP net loss, which excludes stock-based compensation and acquisition-related adjustments, was $(1.5) million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $2.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.Bookings were $37.2 million for the quarter.Backlog as of February 27, 2026 was $38.7 million. Effective backlog, including bookings since February 27, 2026, is $50.9 million.Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of February 27, 2026 was $37.1 million, compared to $31.0 million on November 28, 2025.Fiscal First Nine Months Financial Results:Net revenue was $31.2 million, compared to $44.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025.GAAP net loss was $(8.5) million, or $(0.28) per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss of $(1.0) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, during the first nine months of fiscal 2025.Non-GAAP net loss was $(2.6) million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, which excludes stock-based compensation, acquisition-related adjustments and restructuring charges, compared to non-GAAP net income of $4.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2025.Cash used in operating activities was $5.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2026.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 are very pleased with the strong momentum in our business across multiple market segments, highlighted by more than $37 million in quarterly bookings and a book-to-bill ratio exceeding 3.5x. Demand continues to accelerate across both WLBI and PLBI as semiconductor devices grow in size, complexity, and power and are increasingly deployed in mission-critical AI, networking, automotive, and industrial applications."During the quarter, we continued to make progress in growing the business and expanding our customer base in our WLBI business. For AI processors, we received a production WLBI order from our lead AI processor customer for multiple new fully automated FOX-XP WLBI systems to be used in data center training and inference applications. We have several other companies ranging from suppliers of data center-focused AI accelerator processors to Edge AI processors and CPUs that are providing us with information on their devices and roadmaps and asking about our WLBI capabilities and recommendations for burn-in of their next generation devices. There is significant interest in doing WLBI for devices that are expected to be put in advanced packages such as CoWoS that include other die such as HBM DRAM stacks, other compute AI processors, and photonic or electrical-based transceiver chipsets. Weeding out bad devices before they are packaged together with these other devices is significantly cheaper than the yield loss if these are burned in at packaged level and the entire multi-chip package is thrown away."Silicon photonics is a market we see significant opportunity for WLBI. We recently announced a major new customer win with our high-power FOX-XP WLBI system for devices aimed at hyperscale data center optical interconnect market. This was an initial order for multiple FOX systems for both qualification and production. The customer is developing advanced silicon photonics-based transceivers for data center networking and optical I/O applications to address the rapidly accelerating demand for high-speed fiber optic communication links in hyperscale AI and cloud data centers. We believe this win positions Aehr to participate in what could be a significant multiyear expansion of silicon photonics production driven by the growth of fiber optic interconnects in hyperscale AI data centers."Additionally, during the quarter, we received a follow-on order from our lead silicon photonics customer for both a new high-power FOX-XP systems and an upgrade of an existing FOX system to our latest high-power, fully automated configuration. As data center architectures scale to support AI, cloud computing, and high-performance networking, fiber optic interconnects offer significant advantages over copper wiring, including higher data rates, lower power consumption, longer reach, improved thermal performance, and reduced electromagnetic interference. These advantages are driving rapid adoption of silicon photonics transceivers across hyperscale and enterprise data centers worldwide and increasing demand for cost-effective, production-proven burn-in solutions that can ensure device quality and long-term reliability at volume."In PLBI, we are seeing significant forecasts from our lead hyperscale customer for our Sonoma systems for high-volume production burn-in of their custom AI processor ASICs used in large-scale data center training and inference AI workloads. In addition to their first ASIC AI processor now ramping on our Sonoma systems today, this quarter this hyperscale customer awarded Aehr the production win for our Sonoma systems for production burn-in of their next-generation, higher-power AI accelerators. We expect a significant near-term follow-on production order from this customer for a large number of systems to be shipped during Aehr's fiscal year 2027."In addition to this major hyperscale customer, we are also engaged in new sales opportunities with multiple other hyperscale companies, AI accelerators and CPU processor companies, edge AI processor suppliers and designers, and foundries and assembly and test houses for our Sonoma PLBI systems for both reliability qualification and production burn-in needs."We are continuing to scale our manufacturing capacity to support anticipated customer demand. In addition to the substantial capacity we added at our Fremont, California facility over the past year, we expect to begin shipping Sonoma systems this quarter from a newly upgraded contract manufacturing facility with global capacity for more than 20 additional systems per month."With strong second-half bookings so far, and a strong funnel of additional orders expected this quarter, we believe we are well-positioned to exit the fiscal year ending May 29th with a strong backlog and deliver significant revenue growth in fiscal 2027. We currently expect full-year fiscal 2026 revenue to be on the high side of the $45 million to $50 million range provided last quarter. We also expect our bookings for the second half of the fiscal year to be on the high end of the $60 million to $80 million range provided last quarter. More broadly, we believe we have a clear path to sustained long-term growth as our installed base expands across AI, silicon photonics, power semiconductors, and other high-performance applications."As the need for performance, reliability, safety, and security in semiconductors continues to rise, burn-in is becoming increasingly important across a widening range of devices and end markets. We believe Aehr is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this trend with both proven WLBI and PLBI solutions that enable our customers to cost-effectively qualify and screen their most advanced semiconductor devices."Financial Guidance:Aehr is reiterating its previously provided guidance for the second half of fiscal year 2026, which began November 29, 2025 and ends May 29, 2026, of revenue between $25 million and $30 million and non-GAAP net loss per diluted share between $(0.09) and $(0.05).Management Conference Call and Webcast:Aehr Test Systems will host a conference call and webcast today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern (2:00 p.m. PT) to discuss its fiscal 2026 third quarter operating results.
