9M revenue was $454.8M vs. $477.7M; operating income was $150.1M vs. $181.3M; net income was $164.3M vs. $175.7M.
9M diluted EPS was $3.52 vs. $3.68; adjusted net income was $141.5M, or $3.04 per diluted share, excluding the investment gain and related tax expense.
Outlook and guidance
FY2026 revenue is expected near the low end of the $630M–$670M range; gross margin is expected near the low end of 74%–76%.
Q4 strength is expected from second-half product launches and production for launches typically occurring in Q1.
2027 outlook reflects macro and memory-market uncertainty, higher input costs, and gross-margin pressure, partly offset by scale efficiencies and manufacturing improvements; formal guidance is due in February.
Phosphorescent blue revenue is expected to remain lower during the strategic transition; commercialization timing depends on customer roadmaps.
