Aehr Test Systems Provides Preliminary Financial Results for its Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended May 31, 2024 Ahead of CEO Investor Summit

FREMONT, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 9, 2024 / Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ:AEHR), a worldwide supplier of semiconductor test and burn-in equipment, today announced select preliminary unaudited financial results for its fiscal 2024 full year ended May 31, 2024, in advance of the Company's participation in the 16th Annual CEO Investor Summit 2024, which will be held Wednesday, July 10th at the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco, CA.

Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2024 Preliminary Unaudited Revenue and Net Income Results:

  • Fourth quarter revenue of approximately $16.6 million.

  • Fourth quarter GAAP net income of approximately $23.8 million, which includes a tax benefit resulting from the release of the Company's full income tax valuation allowance of approximately $20.8 million.

Fiscal 2024 Preliminary Unaudited Revenue and Net Income Results:

  • Full-year revenue of approximately $66.2 million.

  • Full-year GAAP net income of approximately $33.1 million, which includes a tax benefit resulting from the release of the Company's full income tax valuation allowance of approximately $20.8 million.

Aehr Test President and CEO Gayn Erickson's Commentary

"Our full-year revenue and net income results exceeded our previously provided guidance of at least $65 million in revenue and $11 million in GAAP net income and surpassed analyst consensus. Although we saw customer push outs of our products for silicon carbide devices due to slowing electric vehicle (EV) demand in the second half of our fiscal year, we still achieved another record year for annual revenue for Aehr. Wafer level test and burn-in of silicon carbide power semiconductors used in EVs were a key driver of our business in the last year and we remain actively engaged with a significant number of new potential silicon carbide device and module suppliers to meet their anticipated capacity needs.

"Looking ahead to fiscal 2025, we anticipate silicon carbide will continue to be a key contributor to revenue, but we are also expecting bookings and revenue across a much broader range of customers and markets. We are seeing traction with emerging opportunities for our wafer level burn-in solutions in new target markets, such as silicon photonics integrated circuits used for optical I/O communication between chipsets and processors, gallium nitride power semiconductors used in data centers and solar power conversion, semiconductors used in hard disk drive magnetic read/write heads, flash memory devices used in solid-state disk drives, and production test and burn-in of artificial intelligence (AI) processors. More details on our fiscal 2024 financial results and guidance for the new fiscal year will be shared during our earnings conference call on July 16, 2024."
