KLA Corporation (KLAC) reported $13.6B in revenue for fiscal year 2026, up 11.7% from the prior fiscal year. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

KLA’s expansion is becoming more profitable, but FY2026 cash conversion weakened as receivables, inventory, and reinvestment outran cash generation.
From FY2024 to FY2026, net income rose74.9% while operating cash flow rose25.2% ; the widening gap says earnings growth was not translating proportionately into cash. Accounts receivable growth of57.6% coincided with FCF margin falling 3.2 percentage points, indicating working-capital absorption diluted cash conversion.
Gross margin expansion reached 1.3 percentage points from FY2024 to FY2026, while net margin expanded 7.4 percentage points. That wider spread suggests the profit improvement came not only from gross economics but also from better absorption or control below gross profit.
