In addition to U.S. GAAP ("GAAP") results, this press release also contains the following non-GAAP financial results: income from operations, operating margin, net income, net margin, net income per fully diluted share and adjusted free cash flow. The Company's non-GAAP results exclude amortization related to intangible assets acquired through business combinations, costs associated with restructuring and severance, equity-based compensation, acquisition and integration costs, impairment relating to assets acquired through business combinations, long-lived asset impairment relating to business cessation or disposal, impairment relating to equity investments, income tax expense/benefit arising from discrete tax items triggered by acquisition, disposal of business (both via a sale or an abandonment), restructuring and significant changes in tax laws, gain/loss on disposal of business, as well as tax benefits or expenses associated with the foregoing non-GAAP items. The non-GAAP adjustments may or may not be infrequent or nonrecurring in nature, but are a result of periodic or non-core operating activities. These non-GAAP measures are consistent with the way management analyzes and assesses the Company's operating results. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures enhance investors' understanding of the Company's underlying operational performance, as well as their ability to compare the Company's period-to-period financial results and the Company's overall performance to that of its competitors.Management uses both GAAP metrics as well as these non-GAAP metrics to evaluate the Company's operating and financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company's industry, as other companies in the industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on the Company's reported financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP items is meant to supplement, but not substitute for, GAAP financial measures or information. The Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP results in combination with GAAP results provides better transparency to the investment community when analyzing business trends, providing meaningful comparisons with prior period performance and enhancing investors' ability to view the Company's results from management's perspective. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure discussed in this press release is contained in the financial tables at the end of this press release.About Kulicke & Soffa

Kulicke & Soffa Expands Memory Solutions PortfolioMarch 24, 2026 1:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Introducing New Solutions to Address Emerging Assembly ChallengesSINGAPORE, March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc. ("K&S", "Company") today announced an expanded portfolio of memory–focused interconnect solutions, reinforcing its leadership across Ball, Vertical Wire, Advanced Thermo–Compression and Hybrid Bonding technologies.As memory assembly evolves to support higher bandwidth, greater power efficiency, and tighter integration for AI-driven workloads, manufacturers are increasingly constrained by transistor scaling and traditional interconnect density limitations. K&S is relentlessly focused on addressing this growing set of challenges, while also providing new innovative solutions to address the challenges of tomorrow. The company is pleased to highlight its extensive and growing portfolio of leading memory solutions.Introducing the ProMEM Suite of Dedicated Memory Solutions
K&S continues to advance Ball Bonding technology to meet the performance, precision, and productivity requirements of modern high-volume memory devices, where throughput, consistency, placement accuracy, and yield stability are critical. Building on its longstanding leadership in high volume stacked NAND assembly, the Company today introduces the ProMEM suite of memory focused process enhancements, which deliver higher productivity and improved process control across advanced memory packaging applications.The latest capabilities offered by ProMEM span first bond, second bond, bumping, and looping processes, and when combined, enables up to a 20% higher throughput while improving bond quality, supporting higher density DRAM and NAND architectures.Together, these enhancements allow memory manufacturers to extend performance of wire bonding to directly support increased interconnect density and bandwidth requirements of emerging memory architectures.Vertical Wire: A Scalable Path to Higher Density Memory Architectures
K&S's Vertical Wire innovations, deployed on the ATP MEM PLUS and Ball Bonder platforms, provide a practical and cost-effective approach to increasing interconnect density in stacked memory designs. By extending wire bonding into the vertical dimension, K&S is enabling both higher interconnect density and reduced package footprint, which supports stacked DRAM and other next generation memory formats in high-volume production environments.Directly leveraging decades of proven leadership and wire bonding process knowledge, K&S is best prepared to support the industry's emerging three-dimensional memory requirements. With broadening customer engagement, the Company's vertical wire solutions offer a scalable pathway which leverages cost-effective bonding technologies to effectively support higher-density memory architectures, enabling manufacturers to significantly advance performance while maintaining proven process economics.Advanced Thermo–Compression and Hybrid Technology Leadership Support the Highest Performance Memory Applications
The proven capabilities of the Company's highly precise and configurable APTURA™ platform have already enabled production of the most advanced heterogeneous logic applications and are now being offered to support the most advanced, high-performance memory applications.K&S's Fluxless Thermo-Compression (FTC) innovations include best–in–class positioning accuracy and support both atmospheric plasma and the production–proven, in–situ, formic acid vapor oxide–reduction capabilities, which can be used in combination or individually customizable depending on the application requirements. These unique fluxless capabilities, combined with an array of material handling configurations, have driven share gains in leading–edge logic and are now being offered for leading-edge memory applications. These innovations enable advanced memory assembly by supporting near zero die–gap heights, low–resistance direct copper–to–copper interconnects, and industry–leading throughput and yields.The Company is investing in capital expenditures to expand TCB production and continues to anticipate its TCB business will grow approximately 70% sequentially in fiscal year 2026. K&S anticipates TCB demand will continue to aggressively grow in following years supporting advanced packaging trends in both logic and memory markets.K&S has also accelerated its Hybrid Bonding development program since 2024 and has actively developed several innovative capabilities which are driving early customer interest and engagements. K&S welcomes collaboration opportunities with customers and technology partners to address this potential industry opportunity.As emerging memory architectures such as high–bandwidth memory (HBM), high–bandwidth flash (HBF), and other forms of high-density DRAM become more prevalent, K&S FTC and Hybrid solutions are well positioned to provide a compelling value proposition.A Unified Strategy for the Next Era of Memory Packaging
Together, K&S's Ball Bonding, Vertical Wire, Advanced TCB and future Hybrid Bonding solutions form a cohesive memory interconnect roadmap, enabling customers to optimize current–generation memory production, introduce new stacking and interconnect approaches and prepare for future advanced memory architectures.By aligning incremental innovation with advanced packaging leadership, K&S continues to expand its served market and reinforce its position as a long–term technology partner to the global memory industry.Visit K&S at SEMICON China 2026

Kulicke & Soffa Launches ASTERION™-TW: Innovative Ultrasonic System Expands Power Assembly PortfolioMarch 24, 2026 1:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

SINGAPORE, March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: KLIC) ("K&S" or the "Company"), a global leader in semiconductor assembly solutions and wedge bonding technology, today announced ASTERION™-TW, a new ultrasonic terminal welding system designed to support next generation power module manufacturing. ASTERION™-TW leverages K&S's longstanding leadership in interconnect innovation, expanding its established ASTERION platform to encompass new ultrasonic, solid-state, terminal welding. This solution provides a flexible, precise, and highly-capable alternative to mass-reflow for demanding, high-reliability power applications supporting essential markets such as renewable energy, transportation and data center.ASTERION™ -TW, with its high power and high force capability, enables robust bonding of copper terminals up to 2mm thick. A high-resolution linear motor positioning system provides ±40 microns (3s) weld placement repeatability, supporting demanding power electronics applications. Designed for manufacturing flexibility, ASTERION™-TW features a ±180° weld head rotation, a 150mm vertical stroke for access into deep cavities, and a 300mm x 300mm work area. An optional material handling system includes an inline pallet conveyor with high force clamping and an integrated cleaning station.Ultrasonic terminal welding offers compelling enhancements for high-volume, critical power assembly by enabling a true solid-state, no-heat, bonding process. By eliminating external heat, consumables, adhesives, and chemical byproducts this ultrasonic capability enables green manufacturing through lower energy consumption, zero emissions, and improved recyclability of assembled components. Weld force control ensures consistent contact while reducing sensitivity to tolerances, and the inherently precise, low-waste process provides greater adaptability to evolving power module designs."ASTERION™-TW reflects our commitment to deliver high performance interconnect solutions through engineering excellence and close collaboration with our customers," said Ivy Qin, General Manager of Ball & Wedge Bonding at Kulicke & Soffa. "By combining deep process expertise with market-driven innovation, we are dedicated to advancing our customers' capabilities."As a leader in high-volume wire bonding solutions, K&S offers a comprehensive power interconnect portfolio. From the AVALINE™ clip attach solutions, to the growing ASTERION portfolio which now spans wire and ribbon wedge bonding with ASTERION, pin welding with ASTERION™-PW, and now terminal welding with ASTERION™-TW, these solutions reflect K&S's strategy to extend interconnect offerings while building on decades of ball and wedge bonding leadership and process expertise.Visit K&S at SEMICON China 2026Together with a broad portfolio of K&S solutions, ASTERION™-TW will debut at the SEMICON China Trade Show – Hall N3, Booth #3431 – in Shanghai, from March 25, 2026 through March 27, 2026.

In addition to U.S. GAAP ("GAAP") results, this press release also contains the following non-GAAP financial results: income from operations, operating margin, net income, net margin, net income per fully diluted share and adjusted free cash flow. The Company's non-GAAP results exclude amortization related to intangible assets acquired through business combinations, costs associated with restructuring and severance, equity-based compensation, acquisition and integration costs, impairment relating to assets acquired through business combinations, long-lived asset impairment relating to business cessation or disposal, impairment relating to equity investments, income tax expense/benefit arising from discrete tax items triggered by acquisition, disposal of business (both via a sale or an abandonment), restructuring and significant changes in tax laws, gain/loss on disposal of business, as well as tax benefits or expenses associated with the foregoing non-GAAP items. The non-GAAP adjustments may or may not be infrequent or nonrecurring in nature, but are a result of periodic or non-core operating activities. These non-GAAP measures are consistent with the way management analyzes and assesses the Company's operating results. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures enhance investors' understanding of the Company's underlying operational performance, as well as their ability to compare the Company's period-to-period financial results and the Company's overall performance to that of its competitors.Management uses both GAAP metrics as well as these non-GAAP metrics to evaluate the Company's operating and financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company's industry, as other companies in the industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on the Company's reported financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP items is meant to supplement, but not substitute for, GAAP financial measures or information. The Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP results in combination with GAAP results provides better transparency to the investment community when analyzing business trends, providing meaningful comparisons with prior period performance and enhancing investors' ability to view the Company's results from management's perspective. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure discussed in this press release is contained in the financial tables at the end of this press release.About Kulicke & Soffa

Hilarious. Bought this @lows in 2015. heading higher.

The share price is up today but has recently slowed, perhaps because the China venture may be impacted by the potential tariff imposition. Underlying stats continue to be outstanding.

The share price got a big bump today.

KLIC apparently bought 12.5mil property in PA and now trading in the 17's ... the start of a new MFR plant in US perhaps? In the meantime, chart looking like its about to roll-over, perhaps get back in lower in the Bolingers.

$KLIC DD Notes ~ http://www.ddnotesmaker.com/KLIC

FWIW, sold KLIC today at $9.83. Probably more there but chart getting toppy and over bought (RSI, CCI and Wm%R (14) IMO and wanted the funds.



KLIC

Hopefully we will head back to the $11 and $12 range.

Back in KLIC today at $8.80. Don't believe can go much lower. Already 52 week low:

Bought in today hoping there is no much more downside.

KLIC

Just bought more.

Still very cheap this Company.

With a yield of more than 4 % and $ 6.70 Cash this stock is an absolute bargain. If I subtract the Cash from the recent Price I get a p/e of 3.

What can they do with the Cash: Increase the dividend or buy back stocks.

Conclusion: This stock is a must for every Portfolio.

Did you look at the 3 year chart.

The dips are reliable and large. Sales are cyclical. The stock is really unloved. It's not sexy at all. But it looks pretty to me

Gotta agree. Congratulations. Since April 19th it has been on a tear. I'm still out. Too conservative -- don't like to buy above the upper BB. I miss out on a lot!

Next big dip and I'll be buying along with you.

KLIC

In a down market, KLIC looks great today. In light trading it's up 10¢ right now.

If it takes another "plunge" to $10, I'll buy more. It has such a nice upward trend with steady higher dips.

You may be right. It was $12.95 just several months ago. I was watching it today and thought of you. Still on the sidelines; sometimes I won't part with a penny to make a dollar. Was the second strong day for KLIC.

KLIC

$12 ... the long term trend looks great.

The chart also includes big dips and great buying opportunities. Keep watching.

It has done well. Still on the sidelines just because it went up too much to pay the little premium. Keeping a watch.

KLIC

Seems like someone else found KLIC this week right after I posted. Made me feel better right away

Thanks for the article.

I agree. Seems like a good company with great potential. I'm out of the stock now so that is why I haven't posted. However, I look at it a number of times a day trying to find a good re-entry. Should have last Wed/Thur. Read this positive Seeking Alpha article yesterday:

< http://seekingalpha.com/article/1446801-growth-stocks-portfolio-that-can-outperform-the-market-by-a-big-margin?source=google_news >

Good luck.

KLIC

KLIC has been an under appreciated well run company for a long time. But as an investment, I've owned it for more than 2 years and never saw the growth I expected.

With only 75 MM shares out and a big pile of debt, why do you suppose they don't issue regular dividends?

Why do you suppose it's 83% institutionally owned? What's their motivation and expectation on this bet?

I'm a little frustrated, and thinking about redeploying the investment elsewhere.

Hedge Funds Are Betting On Kulicke and Soffa Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:KLIC)

By RONALD JAY SY in News
Published: March 29, 2013 at 8:40 am

Kulicke and Soffa Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:KLIC) was in 20 hedge funds' portfolio at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012. KLIC investors should be aware of an increase in activity from the world's largest hedge funds in recent months. There were 18 hedge funds in our database with KLIC positions at the end of the previous quarter.

In the eyes of most investors, hedge funds are assumed to be unimportant, outdated investment vehicles of the past. While there are greater than 8000 funds with their doors open today, we look at the top tier of this club, around 450 funds. It is widely believed that this group has its hands on most of the smart money's total capital, and by keeping an eye on their highest performing equity investments, we have uncovered a few investment strategies that have historically beaten the market. Our small-cap hedge fund strategy beat the S&P 500 index by 18 percentage points annually for a decade in our back tests, and since we've started sharing our picks with our subscribers at the end of August 2012, we have outperformed the S&P 500 index by 25 percentage points in 6.5 month (see all of our picks from August).

Equally as beneficial, optimistic insider trading sentiment is a second way to break down the financial markets. There are lots of incentives for an upper level exec to drop shares of his or her company, but only one, very clear reason why they would behave bullishly. Plenty of empirical studies have demonstrated the valuable potential of this strategy if investors know where to look (learn more here).

With these "truths" under our belt, it's important to take a peek at the latest action surrounding Kulicke and Soffa Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:KLIC).

At year's end, a total of 20 of the hedge funds we track held long positions in this stock, a change of 11% from the third quarter. With hedge funds' positions undergoing their usual ebb and flow, there exists a few notable hedge fund managers who were boosting their stakes substantially.

Of the funds we track, Jim Simons's Renaissance Technologies had the biggest position in Kulicke and Soffa Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:KLIC), worth close to $28 million, comprising 0.1% of its total 13F portfolio. On Renaissance Technologies's heels is Coghill Capital Management, managed by Clint Coghill, which held a $21 million call position; 0.2% of its 13F portfolio is allocated to the company. Some other peers that are bullish include Chuck Royce's Royce & Associates, Peter Rathjens, Bruce Clarke and John Campbell's Arrowstreet Capital and Clint Carlson's Carlson Capital.

With a general bullishness amongst the heavyweights, key money managers have jumped into Kulicke and Soffa Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:KLIC) headfirst. Carlson Capital, managed by Clint Carlson, established the most valuable position in Kulicke and Soffa Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:KLIC). Carlson Capital had 10 million invested in the company at the end of the quarter. David Dreman's Dreman Value Management also made a $8 million investment in the stock during the quarter.

Long at 7.18 yesterday on the fall, hoping for mid 7s.
Sweating that they might swoon more.

Good move. I went long at 15, 7.5, and 2. Sold the 2's at 6, looking to lose the next batch soon.

Adding KLIC here.

ADD KLIC 1.23 looking for scalp, although I think its an easy double or 10 bagger. Be nice to accumulate shares down here.
