We generated net income of $21.8 million in the first three months of fiscal 2024 as compared to $1.3 million in the first three months of fiscal 2023. On February 26, 2024, we completed the sale of our China operations and established an exclusive distribution and partnership agreement to continue sales and support of our products in the region (the “China Transaction”). As a result of the China Transaction, we received estimated net consideration of $21.1 million and the China Transaction resulted in an estimated gain of $20.0 million, subject to customary adjustments for changes in net working capital and similar items.

Current wording

We generated net income of $41.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024 as compared to $2.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023. On February 26, 2024, we completed the sale of our China operations and established an exclusive distribution and partnership agreement to continue sales and support of our products in the region (the “China Transaction”). As a result of the China Transaction, we received net consideration of $21.4 million and the China Transaction resulted in a gain of $20.3 million.

Previous wording

The increase in net income in the first three months of fiscal 2024 compared to the first three months of fiscal 2023 was primarily due to the $20.0 million estimated gain recognized from the China Transaction. Apart from this gain, the semiconductor industry weakness that began in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 continued into fiscal 2024, impacting most markets within our Probe Cards segment. Furthermore, due to the sale of our FRT Metrology business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, our Systems segment revenues were impacted due to the decreased metrology system sales.

Current wording

The increase in net income in the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2023 was due to two factors. Certain areas of the semiconductor industry strengthened in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, increasing demand in most markets within our Probe Cards segment, particularly with demand for high bandwidth memory (“HBM”) chips utilized in generative artificial intelligence applications, seasonal ramp of new mobile application processor designs, and demand for client PC and server microprocessor designs. While we experienced growth in total revenues during the first six months of fiscal 2024, our Systems segment revenues were negatively impacted due to the absence of metrology system sales during the first six months of fiscal 2024 as a result of the sale of our FRT Metrology business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Additionally, the increase in net income was attributable to the $20.3 million gain recognized from the China Transaction.

Probe Cards—For the three months ended March 30, 2024, gross profit and gross margins increased compared to the three months ended April 1, 2023, primarily due to greater revenues and a more favorable absorption of costs on higher production volumes, as well as lower inventory excess and obsolescence reserves. This was partially offset by an unfavorable product mix resulting from a higher concentration of sales of lower-margin DRAM products, up from 15.6% of Probe Card sales to 33.6% of Probe Card sales, and a lower concentration of Foundry & Logic sales, down from 79.8% of Probe Card sales to 63.5% of Probe Card sales, and higher warranty costs.
