SAN JOSE, Calif.
Ultratech, Inc. (NASDAQ:UTEK) a leading supplier of lithography, laser-processing and inspection systems used to manufacture semiconductor devices and high-brightness LEDs (HB-LEDs), today announced unaudited results for the three-month period ended July 4, 2015.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2015, Ultratech reported net sales of $45.9 million as compared to $36.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Ultratech’s net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $1.5 million, or $0.06 per share, as compared to net loss of $3.9 million, or $(0.14) per share, for the same quarter last year.
Arthur W. Zafiropoulo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Ultratech’s second quarter results primarily reflect strong demand for our advanced packaging tools, which is driven in part by the need for cutting-edge consumer mobile products. Our AP tools are best-in-class at meeting consumer demand for smaller form factors, and we benefited from our strong market share in back-end processing.”
