Fusen Chen, Kulicke & Soffa's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We continued to make ongoing progress to support long-term technology change within the semiconductor, advanced packaging and automotive markets. Recognizing revenue on our latest fluxless advanced packaging in addition to our laser-enabled LUMINEXTM advanced display systems are testaments to this performance."
In addition to ongoing market adoption of its new products, the Company achieved a new record level of quarterly revenue for its wedge bonding systems which support the broad power semiconductor market, in addition to emerging compound semiconductor opportunities.
First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Highlights
•Net revenue of $176.2 million.
•Gross margin of 50.3%.
•Net income of $14.6 million or $0.25 per share; non-GAAP net income of $21.8 million or $0.37 per share.
•GAAP cash from operations of $85.1 million; Adjusted free cash flow of $71.2 million
•Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $795.6 million as of December 31, 2022.
•The Company repurchased a total of 1.1 million shares of common stock at a cost of $45.4 million.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Outlook
The Company currently expects net revenue in the second fiscal quarter of 2023 ending April 1, 2023 to be approximately $170 million +/- $20 million, GAAP EPS to be approximately $0.16 +/- 10%, and non-GAAP EPS to be approximately $0.25 +/- 10%.

Fusen Chen commented, "The near-term macro environment remains dynamic, although we continue to anticipate a period of improving demand in our second fiscal half driven by typical seasonal improvements within higher-volume markets, a larger weighting of advanced packaging and advanced display revenue and an improving book-to-bill ratio."

After five sequential quarters of declining bookings, Kulicke and Soffa's quarterly book-to-bill ratio increased to 1.29 during its first fiscal quarter 2023.

Earnings Conference Call Details
A conference call to discuss these results will be held on February 2, 2023, beginning at 8:00am EST. To access the conference call, interested parties may call +1-877-407-8037 or internationally +1-201-689-8037. A live webcast link and supplemental earnings presentation will also be available at investor.kns.com.

A replay will be available from approximately one hour after the completion of the call through February 9, 2023 by calling toll-free +1-877-660-6853 or internationally +1-201-612-7415 and using the replay ID number of 13734618. A webcast replay will also be available at investor.kns.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results
In addition to U.S. 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 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, impairment relating to equity investments, income tax expense arising from discrete tax items triggered by acquisition, 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.
2


Management uses both U.S. 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 available GAAP to non-GAAP financial measure discussed in this press release is contained in the financial tables at the end of this press release.

Management has not reconciled its outlook for non-GAAP Diluted EPS to Diluted EPS for Q2F23 as it does not provide guidance on the reconciling items between Diluted EPS and non-GAAP Diluted EPS, as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, these items. The actual amount of such reconciling items could have a significant impact on our non-GAAP Diluted EPS and, accordingly, a reconciliation of Diluted EPS to non-GAAP Diluted EPS for Q2F23 is not available without unreasonable effort.
