EBITDA financial
"EBITDA $285 million “Amkor delivered a strong start to 2026"
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
non-GAAP financial
"EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. The reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measure"
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
OSAT technical
"Amkor Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMKR) is the world’s largest U.S. headquartered OSAT"
OSAT stands for outsourced semiconductor assembly and test — specialist companies that take finished silicon wafers and perform the “finishing” work: cutting, packaging and testing chips so they can be used in devices. Investors watch OSATs because their sales and profit margins track overall demand for chips and the health of the electronics supply chain; they act like toll booths that reveal upstream chip production trends, customer concentration risks, and bottlenecks that can affect many tech companies.
capital expenditures financial
"Full year 2026 capital expenditures of approximately $2.5 billion to $3.0 billion"
Capital expenditures are the money a company spends to buy or improve big assets like buildings, equipment, or machines that will last a long time. These investments matter because they help the company grow and operate more efficiently, similar to how upgrading a home’s appliances or adding a new room can make it better and more valuable.
net sales financial
"Record first quarter net sales $1.68 billion, up 27% year-on-year"
Net sales is the total money a company earns from selling its goods or services after subtracting returns, discounts, and allowances — like a store counting the cash it actually keeps after refunds and coupons. Investors use net sales to gauge true customer demand and the real size of a business’s revenue stream, since it forms the basis for profit margins, growth trends, and comparisons between companies.
gross margin financial
"Gross margin 14.2% | | 16.7% | | 11.9%"
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.

Selected Operating Data
In this press release, we refer to EBITDA, which is not defined by U.S. GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA to be relevant and useful information to our investors because it provides additional information in assessing our financial operating results. Our management uses EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance, and our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and pay dividends. However, EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not reflect the impact of certain expenses on our consolidated statements of income, including interest expense, which is a necessary element of our costs because we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations, income tax expense, which is a necessary element of our costs because taxes are imposed by law, and depreciation and amortization, which is a necessary element of our costs because we use capital assets to generate income. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income, net income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, our definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Below is our reconciliation of EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net income.
