Current report

In the memory market, we continue to expand our presence as there is significant long-term opportunity as AI-driven computing architecture accelerates demand for Dynamic Random Access Memory (“DRAM”) and NAND technologies. These technology transitions are creating new thermal processing and material requirements that align well with our differentiated annealing capabilities. The memory industry is at the early stages of adopting laser-based technologies for annealing applications. We continue to make solid progress with leading memory customers, including serving as the production tool of record at a Tier 1 HBM customer, that is accelerating their investments in 2026. We are also advancing an LSA evaluation system at a second Tier 1 DRAM customer, with potential for follow-on orders in 2027 and 2028. Customer engagement continues to expand with a third DRAM customer, with potential to enter an evaluation agreement over the coming quarters. Furthermore, we are encouraged by several NAND customers who are exploring applications for our LSA and NSA platforms, which are continuing to advance well.

Current report

In Advanced Packaging (“AP”), which includes our wet processing and lithography systems, we continue to experience increased demand as AI-related investments accelerate adoption of heterogenous integration of advanced 2.5D and 3D architectures. In the second quarter, we had an increase in orders for our wet processing and lithography systems from leading OSAT customers. We are also working with a Tier 1 foundry on a panel wet processing tool opportunity, and we are encouraged by our engagement. AP continues to provide meaningful momentum to Veeco, as we progress through

the year, bringing increased visibility through 2027. The sustained interest from leading customers in our ability to enable their extreme ramp and AP roadmap supports our confidence in the outlook for the business.

Current report

We continue to benefit from the growing demand tied to AI, particularly through our exposure to Silicon Photonics and the Indium Phosphide (“InP”) lasers used for optical connectivity applications. Industry investment remains focused on hyperscalers' need for higher bandwidth and optical connectivity across increasingly large AI data clusters. As bandwidth requirements continue to accelerate, the industry is increasingly focused on overcoming the "copper wall," where traditional electrical interconnects become less efficient at supporting higher-speed data transmission. At the same time, hyperscalers continue to advance optical networking architectures, including evolution of EML pluggables, Silicon Photonics pluggables, as well as the longer-term solutions of near-package and co-packaged optics. Collectively, these trends are driving broader adoption of optical connectivity throughout the AI infrastructure ecosystem. These architectures increasingly rely on InP laser technologies, which are critical to next-generation AI networking and optical interconnect solutions.

Current report

Overall, our SAM expansion is driven by two key market inflections. First, the exponential growth of optical connectivity bandwidth requirement due to agentic AI, leading to a corresponding growth in high-power InP Continuous Wave laser demand and thus InP epitaxy. Second, the exponential growth in power demand is simultaneously driving the number of laser diodes, but more importantly power required per laser diode, leading to higher reliability requirements from laser facet coating solutions.

Current report

First, the MOCVD epitaxy steps play a crucial role and we are continuing to penetrate the market with our Lumina MOCVD InP Platform as leading photonics customers expand capacity. In the second quarter, a global leader in optical and photonic technologies selected our Lumina+ MOCVD system to fabricate InP lasers for innovative communication solutions in the datacom industry. Second, we are a market leader with our WaferEtch and WaferStorm wet processing technologies for advanced etching and surface preparation. Third, we remain a market leader with our Spector IBD tool for the critical laser facet coating step. From ongoing customer engagements, we believe our IBD technology remains differentiated from traditional approaches, as the industry transitions to higher powered lasers which demand stricter film specifications.

Current report

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased for the six months ended June 30, 2026 against the comparable prior period due variable incentive related compensation and commission expenses based on increased order volume.

Compound Semiconductor revenue increased by 31% in the first quarter from the comparable prior year period, comprising 12% of total revenue. In the Compound Semiconductor market, we have a broad portfolio of products which are gaining momentum due to a significant inflection point within the industry with AI data center infrastructure build-out.

Current wording

Compound Semiconductor revenue increased by 45% in the second quarter from the comparable prior year period, comprising 11% of total revenue. In the Compound Semiconductor market, we have a broad portfolio of products which are gaining momentum due to a significant inflection point within the industry due to the AI data center infrastructure build-out.

Previous wording

The AI build-out is impacting interconnects where there is a shift from copper wiring to pluggables and co-packaged optics as data centers demand higher-speed and lower-power communication. Within this space, Indium Phosphide (“InP”) lasers are a major component as the light-source for pluggables and co-packaged optics for next-generation AI infrastructure. As the industry transitions toward future capacity requirements, we believe this represents growth opportunity of approximately $2.0 billion dollars over the next several years. Our technology plays a critical role within the manufacturing of InP lasers and order demand is greatly accelerating across multiple of our products. These products include Lumina MOCVD Arsenide Phosphide batch platform, Wafer Etch and Wafer Storm for etching and metal lift-off, and importantly our Spector ion beam deposition for the laser diode facet coatings. Our Spector ion beam deposition system, designed for the critical laser facet coating step, is essential to the process. Veeco is the market leader in ion beam deposition and is highly differentiated from traditional approaches such as E-beam evaporation, ion assisted deposition or physical vapor deposition (“PVD”). Compared with other approaches, the Spector Ion Beam Deposition (“IBD”) tool delivers low-loss optical films with tight control of thickness, uniformity, and reflectivity – precision that is required for anti-reflective and high-reflective facet coatings on InP. We received orders over $250 million dollars from multiple customers for our MOCVD, wet processing and ion beam deposition tools to support the manufacturing of InP lasers with deliveries starting in 2026 and significantly accelerating in 2027. A large portion of these orders is from a leading supplier of next-generation 800-gig and 1.6-terabit optical transceivers for hyperscale customers, for our Spector IBD systems. This significant order activity underscores the long-term value of our ion beam deposition technology leadership and our expanding role in this rapidly growing market. We have long-standing partnerships with our customers, spanning more than two decades, and we are well positioned across our multiple differentiated products to meet their growing needs in silicon photonics.
