Current report

Artificial Intelligence applications and data center power demand drove strong third quarter performance with our customers accelerating development and ramping production for a wide range of devices. We expect this acceleration to continue and even expand into the fourth quarter and into 2026 and are currently investing in sales, engineering, and support to pursue these, and additional, market opportunities in Semiconductor Test. Robotics revenue in the third quarter was flat with second quarter sales due to ongoing business environment challenges. Our focus in the Robotics segment remains on operating expense management and our channel transformation strategy as we transition toward serving large direct customers and building a Robotics organization that can grow profitably over the mid-term.

Current report

While it is difficult to quantify the exact impact, current trade restrictions are limiting our ability to be competitive particularly in certain markets, where other companies are not subjected to the same restrictions. Current tariffs have not had a material impact on our business operations or financial results, however, the global trade environment remains dynamic and subject to change. We continue to monitor developments in international trade policy, including potential changes to tariffs, further export controls, and other regulatory measures that could affect our supply chain, cost structure, or market access.

Current report

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 -"Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets", which introduces a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. The practical expedient permits all entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new standard and do not expect a material impact on the financial statements and related disclosures.
Removed paragraphs (2)

Previous report

Although total company revenue in the second quarter declined year over year and sequentially, we have seen demand in Semiconductor Test for the second half of the year strengthening, specifically in AI Compute, networking and memory. In the second quarter, Robotics was impacted by ongoing macroeconomic challenges and leadership changes, which resulted in a quarterly loss. We are focused on our channel transformation strategy as we transition toward serving large direct customers and we are continuing to cautiously manage operating expenses to deliver profitability in Robotics in the mid-term.

Previous report

On April 2, 2025, the US government announced reciprocal tariffs which could impact our businesses. A pause until August 1, 2025, was instituted on the reciprocal tariffs (August 14 for China). We continue to assess the potential impact of the tariffs, but based on currently available information we do not anticipate a material impact to our costs as a result of these measures. However, the ramifications on end customer demand remains unclear as the global economy works through trade negotiations.
