Axcelis Updates and Increases Q4 2023 Guidance


Reaffirms Full Year 2023 Revenue Expectations Above $1.1 billion

BEVERLY, Mass., Jan. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACLS), a leading supplier of enabling ion implantation solutions for the semiconductor industry, today increased financial guidance for the fourth quarter of 2023 and reaffirmed its expectations for the full year. Based on preliminary fourth quarter financial results, the Company expects revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 to be greater than $300 million, above the approximately $295 million prior guidance, and reaffirmed its expectation for full year 2023 revenue above $1.1 billion. Earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2023 are now forecasted to be greater than $2.05, above prior guidance of approximately $2.00.

President and CEO Russell Low commented, "Our excellent financial performance in the fourth quarter and for the full year 2023 resulted from strong execution by Axcelis employees, combined with our leadership position in the growing power device market." Low continued, "Based on our strong yearend backlog and fourth quarter bookings, especially in power devices, we expect the power device market to remain healthy in 2024. We also 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."

James Coogan, executive vice president and chief financial officer said, "We look forward to discussing our results for 2023 and expectations for 2024 on our upcoming fourth quarter and full year earnings call. We believe we are still on track to achieve our $1.3 billion revenue model in 2025. This expectation is based on continued demand for the Purion product family, continued bookings strength, and a backlog stretching into 2025."  Coogan continued, "Additionally, we continue to manage spending to improve our earnings power and to invest in R&D to strengthen our market position."
