SemiLEDs Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results

Key Terms

gaap financial

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

gross margin financial

Gross margin is the difference between how much money a company makes from selling its products and how much it costs to produce them, expressed as a percentage of sales. It shows how efficiently a company is turning sales into profit before other expenses like marketing or salaries. Higher gross margin means the company keeps more money from each sale, which is a good sign of financial health.

operating margin financial

Operating margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core business activities after paying for costs like wages and materials. It’s useful because it tells you how efficiently a company is running—higher margins mean it keeps more money from each dollar of sales, which can indicate better management or stronger products.

cash and cash equivalents financial

Cash and cash equivalents are the money a company has on hand plus very short-term, low-risk investments that can be quickly turned into cash, like bank deposits or government bills. Investors watch this figure because it shows a company’s immediate ability to pay bills, cover unexpected costs, and fund operations or growth — like a household’s checking account and emergency fund that keeps daily life running smoothly.

buy-sell purchase orders financial

Buy-sell purchase orders are instructions an investor gives to a broker or trading platform to buy or sell a specified quantity of a security, often including conditions like price limits or timing. They matter because these orders determine how and when trades are executed, the price achieved, and how supply and demand interact in the market — like placing an online order that specifies what you want, how much you’ll pay, and when it should be fulfilled.

Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $9.1 million, compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. GAAP net income attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $1.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $603 thousand, or $(0.07) per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was 27%, compared to 1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

Our revenue was higher in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2026, due to the increase of buy-sell purchase orders of equipment. We anticipate more buy-sell purchase orders in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.
