Aehr Test Systems Reports Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Revenue Growth and Solid Bookings and Backlog
Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ:AEHR) reported Q3 fiscal 2025 results with net revenue of $18.3 million, up from $7.6 million in Q3 fiscal 2024. The company posted a GAAP net loss of $(0.6) million, or $(0.02) per share, improving from $(1.5) million loss year-over-year.
Q3 highlights include bookings of $24.1 million and backlog of $18.2 million, with effective backlog reaching $21.8 million. The company has successfully diversified its revenue streams, with Silicon Carbide wafer level burn-in (WLBI) reducing from 90% to under 40% of business, while AI processors now represent over 35%.
Notable achievements include qualifying and shipping the first WLBI systems for AI processors, expanding into GaN power semiconductors, and securing orders for hard disk drive applications. However, Aehr has temporarily withdrawn its fiscal 2025 guidance due to ongoing tariff uncertainty.
Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ:AEHR) ha riportato i risultati del terzo trimestre fiscale 2025 con un fatturato netto di 18,3 milioni di dollari, in aumento rispetto ai 7,6 milioni di dollari del terzo trimestre fiscale 2024. L'azienda ha registrato una perdita netta GAAP di $(0,6) milioni, ovvero $(0,02) per azione, in miglioramento rispetto alla perdita di $(1,5) milioni dell'anno precedente.
I punti salienti del terzo trimestre includono prenotazioni di 24,1 milioni di dollari e un portafoglio ordini di 18,2 milioni di dollari, con un portafoglio efficace che raggiunge i 21,8 milioni di dollari. L'azienda ha diversificato con successo le sue fonti di reddito, con il livello di burn-in dei wafer di carburo di silicio (WLBI) che è passato dal 90% a meno del 40% del business, mentre i processori AI ora rappresentano oltre il 35%.
Tra i risultati notevoli ci sono la qualificazione e la spedizione dei primi sistemi WLBI per processori AI, l'espansione nei semiconduttori di potenza GaN e la sicurezza di ordini per applicazioni di dischi rigidi. Tuttavia, Aehr ha temporaneamente ritirato le sue previsioni fiscali per il 2025 a causa dell'incertezza tariffaria in corso.

Gayn Erickson, President and CEO of Aehr Test Systems, commented:
"We have been laser-focused on the initiatives we set out to expand our total addressable markets, diversify our customer base, and develop new products, capabilities, and capacity to grow our business moving forward. We are excited by the significant progress we've made this year in expanding into new key markets and unlocking new opportunities to attract customers and drive revenue growth, particularly in diversifying our markets and customers beyond our revenue concentration last fiscal year from silicon carbide (SiC) wafer level burn-in (WLBI).
SiC WLBI accounted for over
"During the quarter, we qualified, received orders for, and shipped the world's first production WLBI systems specifically designed for AI processors. Our new high-power FOX-XPTM WLBI system can test up to nine 300mm AI processor wafers simultaneously. This new customer ordered multiple FOX-XP systems and sets of Aehr proprietary WaferPakTM full wafer Contactors for installation at their Outsourced Assembly and Test House (OSAT/Test House.) Aehr has worked with this OSAT/Test House for many years including working on WLBI of silicon photonics devices and optical sensors on our FOX systems and on PPBI of AI processors and ASICs on our Sonoma ultra-high-power test and burn-in systems. Aehr is the only company on the market that offers both a WLBI system as well as a PPBI system for both qualification test and production screening and burn-in of AI processors.
"Another new market for Aehr is adding production PPBI for AI processors in addition to AI processor qualification burn-in. We have shipped multiple Sonoma production burn-in systems this year to a world-leading hyperscaler for production PPBI of their AI application-specific processors and expect to complete installations of the initial order by the end of the current quarter. We've also successfully integrated this Sonoma system from the acquisition of InCal Technology last August into Aehr's engineering and manufacturing operations, enabling us to scale output to two to three times the previous record shipment volume within just nine months.
"In addition to AI-related orders and installations for WLBI and PPBI this quarter, Aehr achieved several other key milestones:
Expanded into production WLBI for GaN power semiconductors,
Secured the high-volume production orders for a new WLBI application in hard disk drives,
Completing the production qualification of our new high-power, multi-wafer system for production WLBI of silicon photonics devices used in co-packaged optics and optical I/O devices, and
Made significant progress on proof-of-concept work with a leading flash memory supplier on a new WLBI system for high-volume production of next-generation flash memory devices.
"The SiC market continues to be a significant opportunity for Aehr, and we believe we are well positioned to continue to grow our business in this market. We have most recently seen some recovery in utilization rates and in our customers' customers' forecasts and orders. SiC, still driven significantly by electric vehicles (EVs), has deepened its penetration in the EV market thanks to lower prices and accessible supply. At the same time, it is gaining momentum in adjacent sectors such as power infrastructure, solar energy, and other industrial applications. According to market research firm Yole Group, despite a temporary slowdown in battery EV shipments, the SiC market remains on a strong long-term growth trajectory.
"In response to this growing demand, we have expanded our WLBI offering for SiC to support high-voltage testing across up to 18 wafers on a single system, doubling the capacity of our industry-leading nine wafer FOX-XP system. We have already received our first order for this 18-wafer high-voltage system as an upgrade to a customer's current FOX-XP configuration. This enhancement further strengthens our technical and cost of test advantages for SiC, which is also highly applicable to the high-volume production of GaN devices, an important capability for customers working on both types of wide bandgap compound semiconductors.
"Looking ahead, with our
"We are encouraged by the increasing number of engagements with both current and potential customers, as well as the long-term growth potential across our diverse target markets. Our strategic expansion into high-growth sectors, including AI processors, GaN power semiconductors, data storage devices, silicon photonics integrated circuits, and flash memory, opens up new opportunities to attract customers and drive revenue growth."

For the fiscal year ending May 30, 2025, Aehr is temporarily withdrawing its guidance due to ongoing tariff uncertainty.

a) Represents compensation expense for equity awards granted to employees and directors and excludes the compensation expense related to the severance benefits incurred from the passing of an officer.
b) Represents amortization of intangible assets and fair value adjustment to inventory related to the Company's business acquisition

d) Represents acquisition activity costs
Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a replacement for GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures indicated above are financial measures the Company uses to evaluate the underlying results and operating performance of the business. The limitation of these measures are that they exclude items that impact the Company's current period GAAP measures. This limitation is best addressed by using these measures in combination with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies.
We believe these measures enhance investors' ability to review the Company's business from the same perspective as the Company's management and facilitate comparisons of this period's results with prior periods.
