FREMONT, Calif., April 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ACM Research, Inc. (“ACM”) (NASDAQ: ACMR), a leading supplier of wafer processing solutions for semiconductor and advanced wafer-level packaging (WLP) applications, today announced that its preliminary unaudited revenue for the first quarter of 2023 is expected to be in the range of $70 million to $74 million. Actual unaudited first quarter 2023 results are subject to the completion of ACM’s quarter end closing procedures and review by ACM’s independent registered public accounting firm. ACM will discuss its full financial results for the first quarter 2023 and its revenue outlook for the remainder of the year on its earnings call on Friday, May 5, 2023, at 8 AM Eastern Time (8 p.m. China Time).

Today’s release of ACM’s first quarter 2023 preliminary unaudited expected revenue range coincides with the release of unaudited financial results by ACM Research (Shanghai), Inc., ACM’s principal operating subsidiary (ACM Shanghai), to the Shanghai Stock Exchange website [link to China Disclosure]. ACM currently owns an 82.5% equity interest in ACM Shanghai, and a substantial majority of ACM’s consolidated revenue and net income is contributed by ACM Shanghai.
