Recent Highlights
EPIC Center
- Unveiled the EPIC Center in Silicon Valley, the world’s largest facility dedicated to collaborative semiconductor process technology and manufacturing equipment R&D. By bringing chipmakers, equipment partners and university researchers into the same building as Applied’s scientists and engineers, EPIC enables parallel rather than sequential development of materials, equipment and process technology, resulting in shorter learning cycles and faster commercialization of the innovations that will power the AI era.
- Announced four new EPIC Center partnerships, bringing the total to 15 announced to date.
- Intel will join EPIC as a founding partner to accelerate development of chipmaking innovations for next-generation transistors, interconnects and advanced packaging technologies. The collaboration will bring together cutting-edge capabilities from Applied’s EPIC Center and Intel’s R&D campus in Hillsboro, Oregon to shorten time-to-market of advanced semiconductor technologies essential to AI computing.
- KIOXIA Corporation will join the EPIC Center as an innovation partner to advance next-generation memory technologies. Applied and KIOXIA will work together at the EPIC Center on advanced memory-cell and structure creation, multi-chip stacking architectures, and new materials engineering approaches designed to increase memory density and performance for the AI era.
- BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. (Besi) will join the EPIC Center as an innovation partner. This is an expansion of Applied’s longstanding strategic partnership with Besi and extends the companies’ co-innovation beyond hybrid bonding into new interconnect architectures and applications supporting the semiconductor industry’s AI-driven scaling roadmap.
- The UCLA Samueli School of Engineering will join the EPIC Center as a research partner. Together with Applied’s scientists and engineers, UCLA researchers will work to solve semiconductor materials and integration challenges with a focus on shortening the time it takes to bring breakthrough research to commercialization.
New Products and Technologies
- Introduced the VeritySEM™ 20 metrology system, a next-generation critical dimension scanning electron microscope (CD-SEM). The VeritySEM 20 system is engineered to address the patterning control challenges of high-NA EUV by using advanced eBeam metrology innovations and AI-driven process efficiencies to accurately measure thinner photoresists, support tighter process windows and enable faster recipe creation.
Corporate Initiatives
- Entered into an accelerated share purchase agreement to increase Applied’s investment in Besi to approximately 20 percent of Besi’s outstanding shares. The share purchase would add to Applied’s current investment in Besi, which was initially made in April 2025.
- Hosted an Investor Breakfast Presentation during SEMICON West, where Applied executives presented the company’s longer-term growth expectations and outlined how our leadership in materials engineering positions the company to outperform the wafer fab equipment (WFE) market over the coming years.
Business Outlook
Applied’s total revenue and non-GAAP diluted EPS for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 are expected to be as follows:
| Q1 FY2027 | |||||
| (In millions, except per share amounts) | |||||
| Total revenue | $ | 11,100 | +/- | $ | 500 |
| Non-GAAP diluted EPS | $ | 4.35 | +/- | $ | 0.20 |
This outlook for non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes known charges related to completed acquisitions of $0.01 per share and includes a net income tax benefit related to intra-entity intangible asset transfers of $0.04 per share, but does not reflect any items that are unknown at this time, such as any additional charges related to acquisitions or other non-operational or unusual items, as well as other tax-related items, which we are not able to predict without unreasonable efforts due to their inherent uncertainty.
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Reportable Segment Information
Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, management moved our 200-millimeter equipment business to Semiconductor Systems. The business was previously included in Applied Global Services. Additionally, effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, management began fully allocating corporate support costs to our operating segments. Prior-period numbers have been recast to conform to the current-year presentation. Display operating segment financial results are included in the Other category balances below.

Calendar Year Information
Applied's calendar 2026 refers to the period beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2026 through the first quarter of fiscal 2027.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Applied provides investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are adjusted for the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, including, as applicable, certain items related to mergers and acquisitions; restructuring and severance charges and any associated adjustments; legal settlement charges; impairments of assets; gain or loss, dividends and impairments on strategic investments; certain income tax items; and other discrete adjustments. On a non-GAAP basis, the tax effect related to share-based compensation is recognized ratably over the fiscal year. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are provided in the financial tables included in this release.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s operating and financial performance and for planning purposes, and as performance measures in its executive compensation program. Applied believes these measures enhance an overall understanding of its performance and investors’ ability to review the company’s business from the same perspective as the company’s management, and facilitate comparisons of this period’s results with prior periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of Applied's ongoing operating performance. There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and may exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Webcast Information
Applied Materials will discuss these results during an earnings call that begins at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time today. A live webcast and related slide presentation will be available at https://ir.appliedmaterials.com. A replay will be available on the website beginning at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time today.
