Insights

Cohu's Q2 2024 results paint a mixed picture, with some concerning trends but also potential for future growth. The company reported $104.7 million in revenue, a significant 38% decrease from Q2 2023. This decline reflects the ongoing challenges in the semiconductor industry, particularly in the computing and mobile segments.

However, there are some positive indicators:

  • Gross margin remained relatively strong at 44.8% (GAAP) and 45.1% (non-GAAP), suggesting efficient cost management despite lower sales.
  • Recurring revenue accounted for approximately 66% of total revenue, providing some stability in a volatile market.
  • The company's cash position remains solid at $262.4 million, allowing for continued investment in R&D and strategic initiatives.

The multi-year, $100 million win for test automation and inspection systems is a significant positive, potentially providing a steady revenue stream in the coming years. However, investors should note that the company reported a GAAP loss of $15.8 million or $0.34 per share, compared to a profit in the same quarter last year.

The slight sequential improvement in test cell utilization to 74% is encouraging, but the company's Q3 2024 revenue guidance of $95 million +/- $5 million suggests continued challenges in the near term. Investors should closely monitor the company's ability to capitalize on its new product launches and design wins to drive future growth.

Cohu's Q2 2024 results reflect the broader semiconductor industry's cyclical nature and current headwinds. Despite the challenging environment, the company has made strategic moves that position it well for future growth:

  • The launch of the Krypton inspection metrology system and cStrider MEMS probe card demonstrates Cohu's commitment to innovation and expanding its product portfolio.
  • Securing customer awards for the new Krypton system and adoption of the Diamondx tester by Taiwanese OSATs indicates market acceptance of Cohu's new technologies.
  • The win with a leading silicon carbide customer for the cStrider power probe card is particularly noteworthy, as it aligns with the growing demand for silicon carbide in electric vehicles and other high-power applications.

The multi-year, $100 million win for test automation and inspection systems is a significant achievement, potentially providing a stable revenue base and validating Cohu's technology leadership in the semiconductor manufacturing equipment space.

The slight improvement in test cell utilization to 74%, especially in computing and mobile segments, could be an early indicator of a potential market recovery. However, the lower revenue guidance for Q3 2024 suggests that this recovery may be gradual and uneven.

Cohu's focus on recurring revenue (66% of total) is a smart strategy in this volatile market, providing some insulation against cyclical downturns. As the semiconductor industry navigates through current challenges, Cohu's investments in new products and technologies could position it well for the next upturn in the cycle.

  • Second quarter revenue $104.7 million, approximately 66% recurring
  • Gross margin of 44.8%; non-GAAP gross margin of 45.1%
  • Launched two new products: Krypton inspection metrology system and cStrider MEMS probe card
  • Announced multi-year estimated $100 million win for test automation and inspection systems

“Cohu continued to execute well on new product development initiatives and delivered several design-wins to expand customer and addressable markets. We secured two customer awards for the new Krypton inspection metrology system, two Taiwanese OSATs adopted the Diamondx tester, and we landed a leading silicon carbide customer with our new cStrider power probe card,” said Cohu President and CEO Luis Müller. “Estimated test cell utilization improved for the second quarter in a row to 74%, a 2 point sequential increase from the March quarter. It is encouraging to see utilization improvements, particularly in computing and mobile segments.”

Cohu expects third quarter 2024 sales to be in a range of $95 million +/- $5 million.

Management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operating performance. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods and these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the Company’s financial performance using some of the same measures as management. Management views share-based compensation as an expense that is unrelated to the Company’s operational performance as it does not require cash payments and can vary in amount from period to period and the elimination of amortization charges provides better comparability of pre- and post-acquisition operating results and to results of businesses utilizing internally developed intangible assets. Management initiated certain restructuring and manufacturing transition activities including employee headcount reductions and other organizational changes to align our business strategies in light of the acquisitions of MCT and EQT. Restructuring and manufacturing transition costs have been excluded because such expense is not used by Management to assess the core profitability of Cohu’s business operations. Impairment charges have been excluded as these amounts are infrequent and are unrelated to the operational performance of Cohu. PP&E and inventory step-up costs have been excluded by management as they are unrelated to the core operating activities of the Company. Acquisition costs have been excluded by management as they are unrelated to the core operating activities of the Company and the frequency and variability in the nature of the charges can vary significantly from period to period. Excluding this data provides investors with a basis to compare Cohu’s performance against the performance of other companies without this variability. However, the non-GAAP financial measures should not be regarded as a replacement for (or superior to) corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and investors should be careful when comparing our non-GAAP financial measures to those of other companies.
