Amtech Systems, Inc. ("Amtech") (NASDAQ:ASYS), a manufacturer of equipment and consumables for semiconductor fabrication and packaging, provided a business update for the second quarter which ended on March 31st, 2025.
Amtech's Thermal Processing Solutions Segment experienced a customer dispute during its fiscal second quarter. The dispute involves a previously cancelled order and resulted in the shipping delay of a separate order in the amount of approximately $4.9 million. While the matter is ongoing, the Company believes that the equipment will ship once this matter is resolved. The Company also experienced weaker demand in the Semiconductor Fabrication Solutions Segment during the second quarter due to continued softening of the mature node semiconductor industry, which includes silicon carbide.
As a result of these challenges in the second quarter, the Company now expects second quarter revenues in the range of $15 - $16 million, and nominally negative adjusted EBITDA, compared to the original second quarter guidance of $21 - $23 million revenue and nominally positive adjusted EBITDA. Despite the lower revenues and adjusted EBITDA expected for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company expects to be cash flow neutral.
