Current report

We also offer advanced technology solutions across a range of adjacent markets, including PCBs, advanced packaging, specialty semiconductors (such as LEDs, power devices and compound semiconductors), data storage and general materials research. In addition, our services business has grown consistently year over year and accounted for approximately 23% of our total revenues in fiscal 2026. Our services revenue, which is generated largely from recurring “subscription-like” contracts, provides maintenance and other services to maximize uptime, productivity and tool life for our customers, supported in part by continued demand from legacy semiconductor markets.

Current report

The semiconductor industry continues to experience market expansion and diversification. HPC and data centers, supported by increasing adoption of AI, are contributing to industry growth and these trends are expected to continue to influence industry investment into fiscal year 2027. AI represents a key technology inflection point driving innovation and demand at the leading edge, and our portfolio of products is well positioned to support leading-edge demand and the ongoing AI infrastructure buildout. Our semiconductor customers generally operate in one or both major semiconductor device manufacturing markets: memory and foundry/logic. Long-term demand drivers include continued adoption of EUV in HVM for logic and DRAM (including high-bandwidth memory), which are increasing process control requirements and expanding our served market. Demand for advanced semiconductor technologies, particularly at leading-edge nodes such as 2-nanometer, is increasing process complexity and process control intensity, which in turn is driving incremental demand for our solutions. Increasing complexity and value of semiconductor packages, particularly for AI and HPC applications, is also driving significant growth in our advanced packaging business. Broader industry trends, including digitization, communication improvements, healthcare innovation, industrial applications, and increasing semiconductor content in automobiles and intelligent systems, are supporting continued investment in legacy and mature-node capacity, where long product lifecycles and expanding end-market demand require ongoing manufacturing investments.

Current report

While we continue to invest in technological innovation, demand for our products may be affected by the timing of customer adoption decisions and changes in delivery schedules, which can result in variability in our operating results. In addition, geopolitical factors, including government regulations and tariffs, have impacted our results of operations and may continue to do so. We have also increased our purchase commitments, in part to secure the supply of key components, which may affect the timing and magnitude of our costs and working capital requirements. Despite these dynamics, we delivered higher revenue and net income in fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025, driven by increased sales volume and disciplined cost management. Looking ahead to fiscal year 2027, we expect continued revenue growth as customer engagement and demand signals continue to strengthen.

Current report

On June 11, 2026, the Company effected a ten-for-one stock split of its common stock and a proportional increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock. Share and per share information throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.

Current report

We performed the required annual goodwill impairment testing for all reportable segments as of December 31, 2025, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. As a result of our qualitative assessment, we determined that it was not necessary to perform the quantitative assessment.

Current report

The 12% increase in total revenues in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior fiscal year was primarily driven by higher product revenues resulting from increased leading-edge customer investments in foundry/logic, memory and advanced packaging technologies, supported by strong demand associated with AI and HPC applications. Revenue growth also benefited from higher service revenues, which increased 16% due to growth in our installed base of tools.

Current report

Revenue from our Semiconductor Process Control segment increased 12% in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025, primarily due to increased revenue from foundry/logic and memory customers, driven by continued leading-edge investment supporting AI and HPC applications. Revenue growth also benefited from strong customer adoption of our advanced packaging products and higher service revenue attributable to growth in the installed base of tools.

Current report

Revenue from our Specialty Semiconductor Process segment decreased slightly by 1% in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025, primarily due to lower customer investments and reduced product sales in China, mostly offset by higher service revenues resulting from growth in the installed base of tools.

Current report

Revenue from our PCB and Component Inspection segment increased 21% in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025, primarily driven by increased demand from customers investing in advanced packaging technologies, higher revenue from our PCB business, and increased service revenue attributable to growth in the installed base of tools. The increase was partially offset by the absence of revenue from our Display business following our exit from this business in the prior year.

Current report

Revenue in China was comparable to the prior fiscal year, as continued investments in legacy-node technologies by domestic semiconductor companies were largely offset by export control restrictions affecting certain advanced technology transactions.

Current report

Revenue in Taiwan increased 13.7% compared with the prior fiscal year, primarily due to increased leading-edge customer investments in foundry/logic, memory and advanced packaging technologies, supported by strong demand associated with AI and HPC applications.

Current report

Revenue in Korea increased 26.2% compared with the prior fiscal year, due to increased investments by memory customers, including investments supporting high-bandwidth memory and advanced DRAM technology roadmaps.

Current report

Revenue in North America increased 29.0% compared with the prior fiscal year, primarily due to increased leading-edge customer investments in foundry/logic and memory technologies, supported by strong demand associated with AI and HPC applications.

Current report

Interest expense represents interest associated with our debt instruments. Interest on our Senior Notes is payable semi-annually. Concurrent with the Senior Notes interest payments, floating interest payments on our interest rate swaps are paid semi-annually and the fixed-rate interest receivable on the swaps is received semi-annually. Interest expense during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 decreased compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to reduced interest expense following our $750.0 million debt repayment in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

Current report

$3.94 billion authorization remaining as of December 31, 2025 under the then existing share repurchase program announced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

Previous report

Our semiconductor customers generally operate in one or both of the major semiconductor device manufacturing markets: memory and foundry/logic. End-market demand drivers that are expected to continue to benefit KLA in the long term include adoption of EUV in HVM for Logic and DRAM memory, which drives new process control requirements and growth in key markets for KLA. Demand for advanced semiconductor technologies, particularly evident in the 2-nanometer node, which is seeing higher levels of investment and process control intensity, continues to drive investments in AI. Increasing complexity and value of semiconductor packages, particularly for AI and HPC applications, is also driving significant growth in our advanced packaging business. The digitization of all industries, including 5G markets, advances in healthcare and industrial applications, together with the increasing adoption of electric vehicles and intelligence in automobiles, are powering leading-edge design node technology investments and capacity expansions. While we continue to invest in technological innovation, factors such as delays from customers in adopting new chips and technology methods could impact process control capital intensity. Push out or cancellation of deliveries to our customers could still cause earnings volatility, due to the timing of revenue recognition as well as increased risk of inventory-related charges.

Previous report

A majority of our revenues are derived from outside the U.S., and include geographic regions such as China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Europe and Israel, and Rest of Asia. China remains a major region for manufacturing of legacy node logic and memory chips, adding to its role as the world’s largest consumer of ICs. Additionally, a significant portion of global PCB manufacturing has migrated to China. Chinese government initiatives around self-sustainability are propelling China to expand its domestic manufacturing capacity and attracting investment from semiconductor manufacturers from Taiwan, Korea, Japan and the U.S. Although China is currently seen as an important long-term growth region for the semiconductor and electronics capital equipment sector, the U.S. government has tightened export controls for commodities, software, and technology (collectively, “items”) destined to China over the past several years. In the last few years, Commerce has adopted regulations and added certain China-based entities to the U.S. Entity List (a list of parties that are generally ineligible to receive U.S.-regulated items without prior licensing from Commerce), restricting our ability to provide products and services to such entities without an export license. In addition, Commerce has imposed export licensing requirements on China-based customers that are military end users or engaged in military end uses, as well as requiring our customers to obtain an export license when they use certain semiconductor capital equipment based on U.S. technology to manufacture products connected to certain entities on the U.S. Entity List. The inability to obtain export licenses has resulted in a reduction to our backlog and required us to return some deposits received from customers in China for purchase orders, and limited our ability to meet our contractual obligations and sell our products or services to our customers in China. The percentage of our overall revenue from Chinese customers decreased in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024. However increased investments in process control to meet leading-edge demand by our customers in Taiwan have contributed to our overall revenue increase in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024.

Previous report

The recent imposition of tariffs by the U.S. government, along with countermeasures taken by foreign countries, have had an adverse impact on our results of operations, though the impact was not material in fiscal year 2025. There continues to be uncertainty around the ultimate duration, size and substance of the tariffs, including reciprocal actions against the U.S. by other countries. However, despite headwinds from tariffs, our gross margin and overall financial performance improved in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024 due to higher revenue volume on products and services sold and cost management.

Previous report

Due to the downward revision of financial outlook for our PCB and Display businesses, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment and recorded impairment losses related to goodwill of $192.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Previous report

In March 2024, we made the decision to exit the Display business but continue to provide services to the installed base for the discontinued product lines. This decision triggered a quantitative impairment assessment for the Display reporting unit as of March 31, 2024, which resulted in a total goodwill impairment charge of $70.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

Previous report

The increase in total revenues by 24% in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior fiscal year is primarily attributable to the increase in our product revenues and is due to increased investments by leading edge foundries driven by the AI infrastructure buildout, strong customer adoption of our advanced packaging portfolio of products and strong demand for many of our products, especially those in our inspection portfolio, partially offset by a decrease of 4% in revenues from our customers in China.

Previous report

The increase in service revenues by 15% in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior fiscal year is primarily attributable to the growth of our installed base.

Previous report

The primary factors impacting the performance of our segment revenues for fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024 are summarized as follows:

Previous report

•Revenue from our Semiconductor Process Control segment increased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 primarily due to a resumption of growth in the industry, demonstrated by strong demand for many of our products, especially those in our inspection portfolio, as well as higher service revenue from an increase in our installed base.

Previous report

•Revenue from our Specialty Semiconductor Process segment, which comprises etching and deposition solutions for advanced packaging and specialty semiconductor markets, increased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 primarily due to increased revenue from our advanced packaging business.

Previous report

•Revenue from our PCB and Component Inspection segment increased in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024 primarily due to increased revenue from packaging products related to AI and a settlement received in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 related to cancellation of a technology project by a major Display customer that resulted in our decision to exit the Display business in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. These increases were partially offset by decreased revenues during the relatively soft market in the first half of fiscal year 2025.

Previous report

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we noted a significant deterioration of the long-term forecast for our PCB and Display businesses. As a result, we recorded a $219.0 million goodwill and purchased intangible asset impairment charge for the PCB and Display reporting unit in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. In March 2024, we made the decision to exit the Display business but continue to provide services to the installed base for the discontinued product lines. As a result, we recorded a $70.5 million goodwill impairment charge, and an immaterial amount of purchased intangible assets were abandoned in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. See Note 7 “Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Previous report

Interest expense during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 was comparable to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 as average debt outstanding was essentially unchanged.

Previous report

As of June 30, 2025, $1.11 billion of our $4.49 billion cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were held by our foreign subsidiaries and branch offices. We currently intend to indefinitely reinvest $66.6 million of the cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by our foreign subsidiaries for which we assert that earnings are permanently reinvested. If, however, a portion of these funds were to be repatriated to the U.S., we would be required to accrue and pay state and foreign taxes of approximately 1%-22% of the funds repatriated. The amount of taxes due will depend on the amount and manner of the repatriation, as well as the location from which the funds are repatriated. We have accrued state and foreign tax on the remaining cash of $1.04 billion of the $1.11 billion held by our foreign subsidiaries and branch offices. As such, these funds can be returned to the U.S. without accruing any additional U.S. tax expense.

Previous wording

Unrecognized tax benefits are recorded for uncertain tax positions on the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Evaluation of tax positions, their technical merits, and measurements using cumulative probability are inherently subjective estimates since they require our assessment of the probability of future outcomes. We recorded unrecognized tax benefits of $258.6 million and $245.7 million for the years ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis based on certain factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances; changes in tax law; audit settlements; new audit activities; and changes in accounting standards. Any changes to these factors can result in a material change to tax expense.

We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis based on certain factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances; changes in tax law; audit settlements; new audit activities; and changes in accounting standards. Any changes to these factors can result in a material change to tax expense.

Previous wording

Our calculations of deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on estimates and judgments related to uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and projections of future taxable income. The guidance requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if we determine it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized in the foreseeable future. We have determined that a valuation allowance is necessary against a portion of the deferred tax assets, but we anticipate that our future taxable income will be sufficient to recover the remainder of our deferred tax assets. We recorded tax valuation allowances of $310.6 million and $289.5 million as of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, primarily related to California credit carry-forwards. Based on the enacted income apportionment rules in California, our future California income tax liability will not be sufficient to fully utilize the credit carry-forwards. We assess on a quarterly basis whether there should be a change to the valuation allowance for some portion or all of the deferred tax assets. If there is a change in our ability to recover our deferred tax assets that are not subject to a valuation allowance, we will be required to record an additional valuation allowance against such deferred tax assets which may materially increase our tax expense. If there is a change in our ability to utilize the California credit carry-forwards, we will be required to reduce our valuation allowance against such deferred tax assets which may materially decrease our tax expense.

Current wording

The following customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues, primarily in our Semiconductor Process Control segment, for the indicated periods:

Previous wording

There was a decrease in revenues from our customers in China, accounting for 33% of total revenues in fiscal 2025 compared to 43% of total revenues in fiscal 2024. This decrease comes after elevated levels of investment by our larger Chinese customers in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, which have now moderated, causing our revenues from Chinese customers to begin to normalize. Additionally, while many Chinese customers, encouraged by the growth potential of certain semiconductor markets and Chinese government initiatives around self-sustainability in domestic semiconductor production, continued to increase their semiconductor-related investments, more stringent U.S. export controls and regulations have also contributed to the decrease in revenue share from China. Our customers in Taiwan contributed to the increased revenues with increased investments in process control to meet leading edge demand driven by innovation and growth of new technologies like AI, with that region recording 27% and 18% of total revenues during fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. The remaining regions accounted for less than 20% of total revenues individually in all periods.

Current wording

Each of the remaining regions accounted for less than 10% of revenue in all periods presented.

Previous wording

Previous wording

Restructuring charges were $7.7 million and $21.6 million for the years ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, primarily due to severance and related charges for the restructuring of the former PCB and Display operating segment, as described further in Note 7 “Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets,” as well as write-downs of certain right of use assets and fixed assets that were abandoned.

Current wording

Restructuring charges were $1.2 million and $7.7 million for the years ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, primarily due to severance and related charges for the restructuring of the former PCB and Display operating segment, as described further in Note 6 “Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets,” as well as write-downs of certain right of use assets and fixed assets that were abandoned.

Previous wording

The change in Other expense (income), net during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to higher interest income of $17.1 million due to higher interest earning balances and a higher net fair value gain of $7.0 million from an equity security compared to the prior fiscal year, partially offset by higher net foreign exchange losses of $10.2 million.

Current wording

The change in Other expense (income), net during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to a net fair value gain of $28.0 million from an equity security, favorable foreign exchange fluctuation of $19.2 million, and release of a tax reserve of $11.6 million compared to the prior fiscal year, partially offset by lower interest income of $3.8 million.

Previous wording

Tax expense was lower as a percentage of income before taxes during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to goodwill impairment charges, which are non-deductible for income tax.
