Imaging technology solutions company Photronics (PLAB) Thursday reported better-than-expected first quarter earnings, though revenue fell below the Street consensus. Net income attributable to Photronics fell to 8 cents per share from 9 cents per share a year ago. However, it was better than analysts’ expectation of 5 cents per share.
Revenue gained 1% to $124.7 million but fell short of the street expectation of $125.1 million. Revenue from integrated circuits declined 1% year-over-year, while that from flat panel display grew 7%.
CEO Peter Kirlin said, “We saw weaker demand in IC, for both high-end and mainstream, due to semiconductor industry macro headwinds and seasonal softness. For FPD, AMOLED demand was solid once again as new product development and introduction continues.”
