NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“K&S,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), with appropriate elimination of intercompany balances and transactions.
The interim consolidated condensed financial statements are unaudited and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of results for these interim periods. The interim consolidated condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 4, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2025, which includes the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 4, 2025 and September 28, 2024, and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Income, Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Cash Flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended October 4, 2025. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full year.
Fiscal Year    
Each of the Company’s first three fiscal quarters end on the Saturday that is 13 weeks after the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. The fourth quarter of each fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to September 30. Fiscal 2026 quarters end on January 3, 2026, April 4, 2026, July 4, 2026 and October 3, 2026. In fiscal years consisting of 53 weeks, the fourth quarter will consist of 14 weeks. Fiscal 2025 quarters ended on December 28, 2024, March 29, 2025, June 28, 2025 and October 4, 2025.
Nature of Business
The Company designs, develops, manufactures and sells capital equipment and tools as well as services, maintains, repairs and upgrades equipment, all used to assemble semiconductor devices. The Company’s operating results depend upon the capital and operating expenditures of integrated device manufacturers (“IDMs”), outsourced semiconductor assembly and test providers (“OSATs”), foundry service providers, and other electronics manufacturers and automotive electronics suppliers worldwide which, in turn, depend on the current and anticipated market demand for semiconductors and products utilizing semiconductors. The semiconductor industry is highly volatile and experiences downturns and slowdowns which can have a severe negative effect on the semiconductor industry’s demand for semiconductor capital equipment, including assembly equipment manufactured and sold by the Company and, to a lesser extent, tools, solutions and services, including those sold or provided by the Company. These downturns and slowdowns have in the past adversely affected the Company’s operating results. The Company believes such volatility will continue to characterize the industry and the Company’s operations in the future.
On March 25, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a strategic plan related to the cessation of the Company's Electronics Assembly ("EA") equipment business. As part of the plan, the Company began the process of winding down the EA equipment business in an effort to prioritize core semiconductor assembly business opportunities and enhance overall through-cycle financial performance. The cessation of the EA equipment business is subject to a consultation process with the applicable works council and union representatives, which the Company initiated in the third fiscal quarter of 2025 and, as of July 4, 2026, has substantially completed. The wind down activities remain ongoing and are expected to be substantially completed once the Company has fulfilled all last time orders from existing customers, after which there will be some service support activities to serve out the remaining customer obligations.
In connection with the cessation of the EA equipment business, the Company has reclassified a product line previously included in the Aftermarket Products and Services (“APS”) segment. This product line is now reported within “All Others,” consistent with how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) evaluates the financial information of the EA equipment aftermarket spares and services product line together with the EA capital equipment business as one operating segment for performance assessment and resource allocation purposes. Refer to Note 3: Goodwill and Intangible Assets and Note 15: Segment Information for additional details.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated condensed financial statements requires management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, net revenue and expenses during the reporting periods, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated condensed financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates estimates, including but not limited to, those related to accounts receivable, reserves for excess and obsolete inventory and inventory valuation, carrying value and lives of fixed assets, goodwill and intangible assets, accrual for customer credit programs, the valuation estimates and assessment of impairment and observable price adjustments, income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, accrual for employee termination benefits and warranties. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. As a result, management makes judgments regarding the carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and assumptions are used as the basis for making estimates, and on an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In light of macroeconomic headwinds, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of July 4, 2026. While there was no material impact from macroeconomic headwinds to our consolidated condensed financial statements as of and for the quarter ended July 4, 2026, these estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, including factors related to these headwinds, that could materially impact our consolidated condensed financial statements in future reporting periods.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies summarized in Note 1: Basis of Presentation to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2025 Annual Report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Disclosure Improvements
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This ASU aligns the requirements in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification with the SEC’s regulations. The amendments in the ASU are expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of Codification Topics. They will also allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. This ASU will become effective for each amendment on the date on which the SEC removes the related disclosure from its regulations. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective for any entity. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update are intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. This ASU is effective for the Company's fiscal year 2026. The Company will include disclosures for material items with the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending on October 3, 2026.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income -Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires disclosure of certain expenses in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU will be effective for the Company's fiscal year 2028 on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
Government Grants
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10 Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. This ASU establishes authoritative guidance in ASC 832 for business entities on recognizing, measuring, presenting, and disclosing government grants. The ASU will be effective for the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year 2030, with early adoption permitted. This ASU provides for adoption either on a modified prospective, modified retrospective, or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Interim Reporting
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. This ASU clarifies disclosure requirements for interim financial statements, adding a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introducing a principle to disclose events after year‑end that materially affect the entity without changing the overall nature of interim reporting. This ASU will be effective for interim periods with the Company's fiscal year 2029 on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
Intangible assets classified as goodwill are not amortized. The goodwill established in connection with our acquisitions represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from the assets we acquired that did not qualify to be identified and recognized individually. The goodwill also includes the value of expected future cash flows from the acquisitions, expected synergies with our other affiliates and other unidentifiable intangible assets.
The Company performs an annual impairment test of its goodwill during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, which coincides with the completion of its annual forecasting and refreshing of business outlook process.

KULICKE AND SOFFA INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
The Company performed its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and concluded that no impairment charge was required. Any future adverse changes in expected operating results and/or unfavorable changes in other economic factors used to estimate fair values could result in a non-cash impairment in the future.
During the three months ended July 4, 2026, the Company reviewed qualitative factors to ascertain if a “triggering” event may have taken place that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value and concluded that no triggering event had occurred. While we have concluded that a triggering event did not occur during the quarter ended July 4, 2026, the persistent macroeconomic headwinds could, in the future, require changes to assumptions utilized in the determination of the estimated fair values of the reporting units which could result in future goodwill impairment charges. Net sales and earnings growth rates could be negatively impacted by reductions or changes in demand for our products. The discount rate utilized in our valuation model could also be impacted by changes in the underlying interest rates and risk premiums included in the determination of the cost of capital.
The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s recorded goodwill, where applicable, by reportable segments and the “All Others” category as of July 4, 2026 and October 4, 2025.

$18,280 $23,266 $27,976 $69,522 
(1) As of October 4, 2025, cumulative goodwill impairment was $54.4 million, related to the "All Others" category. As discussed in Note 1: Basis of Presentation, during the three months ended January 3, 2026, a certain product line from the APS segment was transferred to and reported within the “All Others” category. The goodwill associated with the impacted reporting unit within the APS segment had been fully impaired as of October 4, 2025; therefore, this transfer did not affect the goodwill ending balance by reportable segments as of July 4, 2026.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company’s intangible assets consist primarily of developed technology, customer relationships, in-process research and development, and trade and brand names.

Net Asset Value (“NAV”) (Private Equity Fund): Equity investments in affiliated investment funds are valued based on the NAV reported by the investment fund in accordance with ASC Topic 820-10. Investments held by the affiliated investment fund include a diversified portfolio of investments in the global semiconductor industry. The Company receives distributions through the liquidation of the underlying investments by the affiliated investment fund. However, the period of time over which the underlying investments are expected to be liquidated is unknown. Additionally, the Company’s ability to withdraw from the fund is subject to restrictions. The term of the fund will continue until March 18, 2032, unless dissolved earlier or otherwise extended by the General Partner. In accordance with ASC Topic 820-10, this investment is measured at fair value using the NAV per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient and has not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The Company recognized an unrealized fair value of gain of $1.4 million and $1.9 million in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended July 4, 2026, respectively. The Company has recorded the amount of funded capital that has been called as an equity investment, and as of July 4, 2026, the Company has an obligation to fund uncalled capital commitments of approximately $1.3 million.

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting standards establish three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (referred to as Level 1), inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly (referred to as Level 2) and unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities (referred to as Level 3).
Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis 
We measure certain financial assets and liabilities as described in Note 4: Cash, Cash Equivalents, And Short-term Investments, Note 5: Equity Investments on a recurring basis. There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the three and nine months ended July 4, 2026 and October 4, 2025.
Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
Our non-financial assets such as intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are carried at cost unless impairment is deemed to have occurred.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Amounts reported as accounts receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, investment in debt securities, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value.

NOTE 8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s international operations are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates due to transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Most of the Company’s revenue and cost of materials are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, a significant amount of the Company’s operating expenses is denominated in local currencies, primarily in Singapore.

KULICKE AND SOFFA INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
The foreign currency exposure of our operating expenses is generally hedged with foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company’s foreign exchange risk management programs include using foreign exchange forward contracts with cash flow hedge accounting designation to hedge exposures to the variability in the U.S. dollar equivalent of forecasted non-U.S. dollar-denominated operating expenses. These instruments generally mature within twelve months. For these derivatives, we report the after-tax gain or loss from the effective portion of the hedge as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) / income, and we reclassify it into earnings in the same period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects earnings and in the same line item on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income as the impact of the hedged transaction.

NOTE 9. LEASES
We have entered into various non-cancellable operating and finance lease agreements for certain of our offices, manufacturing, technology, sales support and service centers, equipment, and vehicles. We determine if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception and record the leases in our financial statements upon lease commencement, which is the date when the underlying asset is made available for use by the lessor. Our lease terms may include one or more options to extend the lease terms, for periods from one year to 20 years, when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. As of July 4, 2026, there were no options to extend the lease which was recognized as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, or a lease liability. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, and non-lease components are accounted for separately and not included in our leased assets and corresponding liabilities. We have elected not to present short-term leases on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception.
Operating leases are included in operating ROU assets, current operating lease liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities, and finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and other liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. As of July 4, 2026 and October 4, 2025, our finance leases were not material.

Bank Guarantees
On November 22, 2013, the Company obtained a $5.0 million credit facility with Citibank in connection with the issuance of bank guarantees for operational purposes. As of July 4, 2026, no liability has been recognized on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets in connection with these bank guarantees.

NOTE 11. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Share Repurchase Program
As announced on November 13, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to $300 million of the Company's common stock (the "New Program"). On December 2, 2024, the Company entered into a new written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, to facilitate repurchases under the New Program. The plan permits the purchase of up to approximately $300 million of the Company’s common stock from December 2, 2024 through December 2, 2029.
The New Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and is funded using the Company’s available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Under the New Program, shares may be repurchased through open market and/or privately negotiated transactions at prices deemed appropriate by management. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions under the New Program depend on market conditions as well as corporate and regulatory considerations.
During the three and nine months ended July 4, 2026, the Company repurchased a total of approximately 5.0 thousand and 176.0 thousand shares of common stock under the New Program at a cost of approximately $0.5 million and $7.3 million, respectively.
The stock repurchases were recorded in the periods the repurchased shares were delivered and accounted for as treasury stock in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The Company records treasury stock purchases under the cost method using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Upon re-issuance of treasury stock, amounts in excess of the acquisition cost are credited to additional paid-in capital.
If the Company reissues treasury stock at an amount below its acquisition cost and additional paid-in capital associated with prior treasury stock transactions is insufficient to cover the difference between acquisition cost and the reissue price, this difference is recorded against retained earnings.

Equity-Based Compensation
The Company has a stockholder-approved equity-based compensation plan, the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) from which employees and directors receive grants. As of July 4, 2026, 3.4 million shares of common stock are available for grant to the Company’s employees and directors under the Plan.
•Relative Total Shareholder Return Performance Share Units (“Relative TSR PSUs”) entitle the employee to receive common stock of the Company on the award vesting date, typically the third anniversary of the grant date (or as soon as administratively practicable if later), if market performance objectives which measure the relative TSR are attained. Relative TSR is calculated based upon the 90-calendar day average price at the end of the performance period of the Company’s stock as compared to specific peer companies that comprise the GICS (45301020) Semiconductor Index. TSR is measured for the Company and each peer company over a performance period, which is generally three years. Vesting percentages range from 0% to 200% of awards granted. The provisions of the Relative TSR PSUs are reflected in the grant date fair value of the award; therefore, compensation expense is recognized regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately satisfied. Compensation expense is reversed if the award is forfeited prior to the vesting date.
•Revenue Growth Performance Share Units (“Growth PSUs”) entitle the employee to receive common stock of the Company on the award vesting date, typically the third anniversary of the grant date (or as soon as administratively practicable if later), based on organic revenue growth objectives and relative growth performance against named competitors as set by the Management Development and Compensation Committee (“MDCC”) of the Company’s Board of Directors. Organic revenue growth is calculated by averaging revenue growth (net of revenues from acquisitions) over a performance period, which is generally three years. Revenues from acquisitions will be included in the calculation after four fiscal quarters after acquisition. Any portion of the grant that does not meet the revenue growth objectives and relative growth performance is forfeited. Vesting percentages range from 0% to 200% of awards granted.
•In general, Time-based Restricted Share Units (“Time-based RSUs”) awarded to employees vest ratably over a three-year period on the anniversary of the grant date provided the employee remains employed by the Company.
Equity-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended July 4, 2026 and June 28, 2025 was based upon awards ultimately expected to vest, with forfeiture accounted for when they occur.

NOTE 12. REVENUE AND CONTRACT BALANCES
The Company recognizes revenue when we satisfy performance obligations as evidenced by the transfer of control of our products or services to customers. In general, the Company generates revenue from product sales, either directly to customers or to distributors. In determining whether a contract exists, we evaluate the terms of the agreement, the relationship with the customer or distributor and their ability to pay. Service revenue is generally recognized over time as the services are performed. For the three and nine months ended July 4, 2026 and June 28, 2025, the service revenue was not material.
The Company reports revenue based on its reportable segments and end markets, which provides information about how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Please refer to Note 15: Segment Information, for disclosure of revenue by segment and end market.

As previously disclosed in fiscal 2025, the Company received reimbursement from the cancellation of a prior project, for which the Company was engaged by one of its customers to support the customer with the development and future mass production of certain technologies (the "Project"). In addition, the Company announced the cessation of its EA equipment business.
For the three and nine months ended July 4, 2026, as compared to the same period ended June 28, 2025, the changes in provision for income taxes was primarily due to higher profitability in fiscal 2026. The changes in effective tax rate were primarily due to the tax effects of the reimbursement from cancellation of the Project and the cessation of the EA equipment business, which were recorded as discrete items during fiscal 2025, partially offset by an increase in profitability in fiscal 2026.
For the three months ended July 4, 2026, the effective tax rate is higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to change in valuation allowances, taxes on undistributed earnings, and non-deductible expenses, partially offset by tax credits and earnings of foreign subsidiaries subject to tax at different rates than the U.S..
For the nine months ended July 4, 2026, the effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to tax credits and earnings of foreign subsidiaries subject to tax at different tax rates than the U.S., partially offset by non-deductible expenses, deemed income, and taxes on undistributed foreign earnings.

NOTE 15. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Reportable segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer is the CODM. Our CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources primarily based on income from operations. This measure is regularly provided to and reviewed by our CODM to support budgeting, forecasting, and decisions regarding resource allocation for strategic initiatives across segments, capital investments, and workforce planning. While income from operations is the primary measure used by our CODM to allocate resources, our CODM regularly reviews materials that present revenue, cost of sales and significant operating expenses. Accordingly, we have disclosed these segment items in the tables below. The CODM does not review discrete asset information.
Future changes to this internal financial structure may result in changes to our reportable segments. The Company has four reportable segments consisting of: (1) Ball Bonding Equipment, (2) Wedge Bonding Equipment, (3) Advanced Solutions, and (4) Aftermarket Products and Services (“APS”). The four reportable segments are disclosed below:
Ball Bonding Equipment: Reflects the results of the Company from the design, development, manufacture and sale of ball bonding equipment and wafer level bonding equipment.
Wedge Bonding Equipment: Reflects the results of the Company from the design, development, manufacture and sale of wedge and wedge-related bonding equipment.
Advanced Solutions: Reflects the results of the Company from the design, development, manufacture and sale of die-attach and thermocompression systems and solutions.
APS: Reflects the results of the Company from the design, development, manufacture and sale of a variety of tools, spares and services for our equipment.
Any other operating segments that have not been aggregated within the reportable segments described above which do not meet the quantitative threshold to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment have been grouped within an “All Others” category. This group is reflective of the results of the Company from the design, development, manufacture and sale of advanced dispense, electronics assembly, and die-attach systems and solutions and related aftermarket spares and services. Results for the “All Others” category and other corporate expenses are included as a reconciling item between the Company’s reportable segments and its consolidated results of operations.
The unallocated corporate expenses category includes certain operating expenses that are not allocated to our reportable segments and are managed separately at the corporate level. These operating expenses include costs related to certain management, finance, legal, human resources, and research and development functions provided at the corporate level. In addition, we do not allocate to our reportable segments severance costs related to restructuring actions. Segment operating income also excludes interest income/expenses, other financial charges and income taxes. Our CODM does not consider the unallocated costs in measuring the performance of the reportable segments.

NOTE 17. CESSATION OF BUSINESS
Cessation of EA Equipment Business
On March 25, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a strategic plan related to the cessation of the EA equipment business. As part of the plan, the Company began the process of winding down the EA equipment business in an effort to prioritize core semiconductor assembly business opportunities and enhance overall through-cycle financial performance. The cessation of the EA equipment business is subject to a consultation process with the applicable works council and union representatives, which the Company initiated in the third fiscal quarter of 2025 and, as of July 4, 2026, has substantially completed. The wind down activities remain ongoing and are expected to be substantially completed once the Company has fulfilled all last time orders from existing customers, after which there will be some service support activities to serve out the remaining customer obligations.
Wind down charges as a result of these activities incurred during the nine months ended July 4, 2026 were accounted in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations and ASC 712, Compensation—Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits. The wind down charges are primarily recorded in the Company’s "All Others" category. We plan to fund the cash costs through existing cash balances.
Employee termination benefits
The Company incurred employee termination benefits pertaining to ongoing and one-time benefit arrangements in accordance with ASC 712 and 420. The movement of the balances as of July 4, 2026 is summarized below:

OVERVIEW
Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc. (“K&S,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a global leader in semiconductor assembly technology, advancing device performance across automotive, compute, industrial, memory and communications markets. Founded on innovation in 1951, K&S is uniquely positioned to overcome increasingly dynamic process challenges – creating and delivering long-term value by aligning technology with opportunity.
We design, develop, manufacture and sell capital equipment and consumables and provide services used to assemble semiconductor and electronic devices, such as integrated circuits, power discretes, light-emitting diode (“LEDs”), and sensors. We also service, maintain, repair and upgrade our equipment and sell consumable aftermarket solutions and services for our and our peer companies’ equipment. Our customers primarily consist of integrated device manufacturers (“IDMs”), outsourced semiconductor assembly and test providers (“OSATs”), foundry service providers, and other electronics manufacturers and automotive electronics suppliers.
Our goal is to be the technology leader and the most competitive supplier in terms of performance, cost and quality in each of our major product lines. Accordingly, we invest in research and engineering projects intended to expand our market access and enhance our leadership position in semiconductor, electronics and display assembly. We also remain focused on enhancing our value to customers through higher productivity systems, more autonomous capabilities and continuous improvement and optimization of our operational costs. Delivering new levels of value to our customers is a critically important goal.
Our Ball Bonding Equipment, Wedge Bonding Equipment and Advanced Solutions reportable segments engage in the design, development, manufacture and sale of ball bonding equipment, wafer level bonding equipment, wedge and wedge-related bonding equipment, die-attach and thermocompression systems and solutions to IDMs, OSATs, foundry service providers, and other electronics manufacturers and automotive electronics suppliers.
Our APS segment engages in the design, development, manufacture and sale of a variety of tools, spares and services for our equipment. For example, we manufacture capillaries, blades, wedge bonder consumables and other spare parts which complements our equipment and to support a broader range of semiconductor packaging applications. We also provide equipment repair, post-sale support, maintenance and servicing, training services, refurbishment and upgrades for our equipment.
All other operating segments that do not meet the quantitative threshold to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment have been grouped within an “All Others” category. This group is reflective of the results of the Company from the design, development, manufacture and sale of advanced dispense, electronics assembly, and die-attach systems and solutions and related aftermarket spares and services.

Business Environment
The semiconductor business environment is highly volatile and is driven by internal dynamics, both cyclical and seasonal, in addition to macroeconomic forces. Over the long term, semiconductor consumption has historically grown, and is forecasted to continue to grow. This growth is driven, in part, by regular advances in device performance and by price declines that result from improvements in manufacturing technology. In order to exploit these trends, semiconductor manufacturers, both IDMs and OSATs, periodically invest aggressively in the latest generation capital equipment. This buying pattern often leads to periods of excess supply and reduced capital spending — the so-called semiconductor cycle. Within this broad semiconductor cycle there are also, generally weaker, seasonal effects that are specifically tied to annual, end-consumer purchasing patterns. Typically, semiconductor manufacturers prepare for heightened demand by adding or replacing equipment capacity by the end of the September quarter. Occasionally, this results in subsequent reductions in demand during the December quarter. This annual seasonality can be overshadowed by effects of the broader semiconductor cycle. Macroeconomic factors also affect the industry, primarily through their effect on business and consumer demand for electronic devices, as well as other products that have significant electronic content such as automobiles, white goods, and telecommunication equipment. There can be no assurances regarding levels of demand for our products and we believe historic industry-wide volatility will persist.
From time to time, our customers may request that we deliver our products to countries where they own or operate production facilities or to countries where they utilize third-party subcontractors or warehouses as part of their supply chain. For example, customers headquartered in the U.S. may require us to deliver our products to their back-end production facilities in China. Our customer base in the Asia/Pacific region has become more geographically concentrated over time as a result of general economic and industry conditions and trends. Approximately 95.6% and 92.1% of our net revenue for the three months ended July 4, 2026 and June 28, 2025, respectively, were for shipments to customer locations outside of the U.S., primarily in the Asia/Pacific region. Approximately 56.1% and 60.0% of our net revenue for the three months ended July 4, 2026 and June 28, 2025, respectively, were for shipments to customers headquartered in China.
Similarly, approximately 94.4% and 88.4% of our net revenue for the nine months ended July 4, 2026 and June 28, 2025, respectively, were for shipments to customer locations outside of the U.S., primarily in the Asia/Pacific region. Approximately 56.4% and 51.3% of our net revenue for the nine months ended July 4, 2026 and June 28, 2025, respectively, were for shipments to customers headquartered in China.
While our customers have generally been impacted by the current global macroeconomic conditions, demand trends have varied by region and over time. Those with operations in China, an important manufacturing and supply chain hub, have at times experienced, and may experience in the future, greater volatility in demand compared to other regions. The shipments to customers headquartered in China are subject to heightened risks and uncertainties related to the respective trade and export control policies of the governments of China and the U.S, including the imposition of new tariffs or increases in existing tariffs and general inflationary considerations. Furthermore, there remains a potential risk of conflict and instability in the relationship between Taiwan and China that could disrupt the operations of our customers and/or suppliers in both Taiwan and China and our manufacturing operations in Taiwan and China.
The U.S. and several other countries have levied tariffs on certain goods and sectors and have introduced other trade restrictions resulting in substantial uncertainties in the semiconductor, LED, memory and automotive markets.
Our Ball Bonding Equipment, Wedge Bonding Equipment and Advanced Solutions reportable segments, as well as the remaining operating segments in the “All Others” category, are primarily affected by the industry’s internal cyclical and seasonal dynamics in addition to broader macroeconomic factors that can positively or negatively affect our financial performance. The sales mix of IDM and OSAT customers in any period also impacts financial performance, as changes in this mix can affect our products’ average selling prices and gross margins due to differences in volume purchases and machine configurations required by each customer type.
Our APS reportable segment has historically been less volatile than the other reportable segments. APS sales are more directly tied to semiconductor unit consumption rather than capacity requirements and production capability improvements. 
We continue to position our business to leverage our research and development leadership and innovation and to focus our efforts on mitigating volatility, improving profitability and ensuring longer-term growth. We remain focused on operational excellence, expanding our product offerings through continuous research and development or acquisitions and managing our business efficiently throughout the business cycles. However, our visibility into future demand is generally limited, forecasting is difficult, and we generally experience typical industry seasonality.
32
Table of Contents
To limit potential adverse cyclical, seasonal and macroeconomic effects on our financial position, we have continued our efforts to maintain a strong balance sheet. As of July 4, 2026, our total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $516.6 million, a $5.9 million increase from the prior fiscal year end. We believe our ability to maintain a strong cash position will allow us to continue to invest in product development, pursue non-organic growth opportunities and return capital to investors through our share repurchase and dividend programs. Please see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for more information.
Key Events in Fiscal 2026 to Date
Senior Leadership Changes
On October 28, 2025, the Company announced that Dr. Fusen Chen retired as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as a member of the Board, effective December 1, 2025. Also, on October 28, 2025, the Board appointed Lester Wong, the Company’s current Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer. A search for a permanent successor among external and internal candidates is underway.
Separately, on October 14, 2025, Mr Chan Pin Chong, Executive Vice President & General Manager, K&S Products & Solutions of the Company, retired from his position effective December 1, 2025.
Middle East Conflict
Geopolitical conditions in the Middle East have remained volatile, including the continuation of hostilities involving Iran and attacks on surrounding states, including Israel. The situation remains dynamic and subject to rapid change. The Company has a manufacturing facility and a business office in Haifa, and our capillaries are manufactured at our facilities in Israel and China.
As of the date of this report, our business and operations in Israel have not been impacted and no material damage or utilities interruptions have been noted at our Israeli facility. Furthermore, disruption to our workforce and operations have been immaterial. Given that any further escalation or other hostilities cannot be excluded, we continue to monitor the situation and refine our business contingency measures.
We continue to closely monitor developments in the Middle East, including the conditions in and around the Strait of Hormuz.
Macroeconomic Headwinds
The cost of logistics remains high as a result of macroeconomic conditions, inflation and labor shortages across layers of the supply chain. The Company’s management continues to monitor for signs of any expansion of economic or supply chain disruptions or broader supply chain inflationary and logistical costs resulting either directly or indirectly from the tensions in the Middle East or between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the rapid evolution of global trade policies, such as export controls and tariffs.
The ongoing tensions in the Middle East, including the Israel-Iran war, and the prolonged Ukraine/Russia conflict have not had a material impact on our financial condition and operating results in fiscal 2026 to date. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital requirements, notwithstanding the ongoing tensions in the Middle East and the prolonged Ukraine/Russia conflict and other macroeconomic factors, for at least the next twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report.
As the macroeconomic situation remains highly volatile and the geopolitical situation remains uncertain, there is uncertainty surrounding our business, our expectations regarding future demand or supply conditions, our near- and long-term liquidity and our financial condition. Consequentially, our operating results could deteriorate. However, we believe that the long-term semiconductor industry macroeconomics have not changed and we anticipate that the industry’s growth projections will normalize.
For a description of the risks to our business arising from or relating to the general macroeconomic conditions, please see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our 2025 Annual Report.

Nine months ended July 4, 2026
The net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a net income of $109.4 million and non-cash adjustments to net income of $37.3 million, partially offset by a net unfavourable change in operating assets and liabilities of $100.1 million. The net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily driven by an increase in accounts and other receivable of $146.0 million and an increase in inventories of $75.9 million. This was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $103.8 million and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $15.2 million.
The increase in accounts and other receivable in the nine months ended July 4, 2026 was mainly due to higher sales for the period. The increase in inventories was due to the higher material purchases. The increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities was due to higher material purchases and higher accrued employee compensation. The decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets was mainly due to the reduction in supplier prepayments.
Net cash provided by investing activities was due to net maturity of short-term investments of $147.0 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $11.0 million.
Net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to common stock repurchases of $7.4 million and dividend payments of $21.5 million.
Nine months ended June 28, 2025
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to non-cash adjustments to net loss of $105.8 million and a net favorable change in operating assets and liabilities of $5.3 million, partially offset by a net loss of $6.2 million. The non-cash adjustments were primarily due to impairment charges of $39.8 million and an inventory write-down of $31.6 million as a result of the intended cessation of the EA equipment business. The net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily driven by a decrease in accounts and other receivable of $20.0 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $4.7 million, and a net increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $9.4 million. This was partially offset by an increase in inventories of $21.4 million after excluding the impact of the inventory write-down as shown above, and a decrease in income tax payable of $7.5 million.
The decrease in accounts and other receivable in the nine months ended June 28, 2025 was mainly due to lower sales for the period. The decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets was mainly due to the receipt of tax refunds. The net increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities was primarily due to higher accrued employee termination benefits and adverse purchase commitments, partially offset by overall lower purchases. The increase in inventories was due to the buildup of long lead time materials to fulfill certain customer purchase orders. The decrease in income tax payable was primarily due to lower profitability which included the net impact from the intended cessation of EA equipment business and reimbursement from the cancellation of Project W which were treated as discrete items.
Net cash provided by investing activities was due to net maturity of short-term investments of $40.0 million and net cash received from the disposal of a subsidiary of $2.5 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $14.2 million and investment in a private equity fund of $2.3 million.
Net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to common stock repurchases of $80.1 million and dividend payments of $32.7 million.

Fiscal 2026 Liquidity and Capital Resource Outlook
We expect our aggregate fiscal 2026 capital expenditures to be between approximately $20.0 million and $24.0 million, of which approximately $17.7 million has been incurred through the third quarter. The actual amounts for 2026 will vary depending on market conditions. Expenditures are anticipated to be primarily for research and development projects, enhancements to our manufacturing operations, improvements to our information technology security, implementation of an enterprise resource planning system and leasehold improvements for our facilities. Our ability to make these expenditures will depend, in part, on our future cash flows, which are determined by our future operating performance and, therefore, subject to prevailing macroeconomic conditions, including actual or potential inflationary pressures, supply chain challenges, geopolitical tensions and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Table of Contents
As of July 4, 2026 and October 4, 2025, approximately $459.0 million and $414.3 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, respectively, were held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, with a large portion of the cash amounts expected to be available for use in the U.S. without incurring additional U.S. income tax.
The Company’s operations and capital requirements are anticipated to be funded primarily by cash on hand and cash generated from operating activities. We believe these sources of cash and liquidity are sufficient to meet our additional liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, including payment of dividends, share repurchases and income taxes.
We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital requirements, notwithstanding the macroeconomic headwinds, for at least the next twelve months and beyond. Our liquidity is affected by many factors, some based on normal operations of our business and others related to macroeconomic conditions including actual or potential inflationary pressures, tariff and industry-related uncertainties, and effects arising from the ongoing tensions in the Middle East and the prolonged Ukraine/Russia conflict, which we cannot predict. We also cannot predict economic conditions or industry downturns or the timing, strength or duration of recoveries. We intend to continue to use our cash for working capital needs and for general corporate purposes.
In this unprecedented macroeconomic environment, we may seek, as we believe appropriate, additional debt or equity financing that would provide capital for general corporate purposes, working capital funding, additional liquidity needs or to fund future growth opportunities, including possible acquisitions. The timing and amount of potential capital requirements cannot be determined at this time and will depend on a number of factors, including the actual and projected demand for our products, semiconductor and semiconductor capital equipment industry conditions, competitive factors, the condition of financial markets and the global economic situation.
Share Repurchase Program
As announced on November 13, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to $300 million of the Company's common stock (the "New Program"). On December 2, 2024, the Company entered into a new written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, to facilitate repurchases under the New Program. The plan permits the purchase of up to approximately $300 million of the Company’s common stock from December 2, 2024 through December 2, 2029. The New Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and is funded using the Company’s available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Under the New Program, shares may be repurchased through open market and/or privately negotiated transactions at prices deemed appropriate by management. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions under the New Program depend on market conditions as well as corporate and regulatory considerations.
During the three and nine months ended July 4, 2026, the Company repurchased a total of approximately 5.0 thousand and 176.0 thousand shares of common stock under the New Program at a cost of approximately $0.5 million and $7.3 million, respectively.
The stock repurchases were recorded in the periods the repurchased shares were delivered and accounted for as treasury stock in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The Company records treasury stock purchases under the cost method using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Upon re-issuance of treasury stock, amounts in excess of the acquisition cost are credited to additional paid-in capital.
If the Company reissues treasury stock at an amount below its acquisition cost and additional paid-in capital associated with prior treasury stock transactions is insufficient to cover the difference between acquisition cost and the reissue price, this difference is recorded against retained earnings.
As of July 4, 2026, our remaining stock repurchase authorization under the New Program was approximately $226.4 million.
Dividends
On May 27, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.205 per share of common stock. Dividends paid during the nine months ended July 4, 2026 totaled $21.5 million. The declaration of any future cash dividend is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, business conditions and other factors, as well as a determination that such dividends are in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders.

Other Obligations and Contingent Payments
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, certain obligations and commitments are not required to be included in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations. These obligations and commitments, while entered into in the normal course of business, may have a material impact on our liquidity and are disclosed in the table below.
As of July 4, 2026, the Company had deferred tax liabilities of $34.5 million and unrecognized tax benefits within the income taxes payable for uncertain tax positions of $10.7 million, inclusive of accrued interest on uncertain tax positions of $4.3 million, substantially all of which would affect our effective tax rate in the future, if recognized.
It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease during the next twelve months due to the expected lapse of statutes of limitation and / or settlements of tax examinations. Given the number of years and numerous matters that remain subject to examination in various tax jurisdictions, we cannot practicably estimate the timing or financial outcomes of these examinations and, therefore, these amounts are excluded from the amounts below.
The following table presents certain payments due by the Company under contractual and statutory obligations with minimum firm commitments as of July 4, 2026:

(1)The Company orders inventory components in the normal course of its business. A portion of these orders are non-cancellable and some orders impose varying penalties and charges in the event of cancellation.
Credit facilities
As of July 4, 2026, other than the bank guarantee disclosed in Note 10: Debt And Other Obligations in our Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, we did not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements, such as contingent interests or obligations associated with variable interest entities.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Our available-for-sale securities, if applicable, may consist of short-term investments in highly rated debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies, financial institutions, and corporations. We continually monitor our exposure to changes in interest rates and credit ratings of issuers with respect to any available-for-sale securities and target an average life to maturity of less than 18 months. Accordingly, we believe that the effects on us of changes in interest rates and credit ratings of issuers are limited and would not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Foreign Currency Risk
Our international operations are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to transactions denominated in currencies other than the location’s functional currency. Our international operations are also exposed to foreign currency fluctuations that impact the remeasurement of net monetary assets of those operations whose functional currency, the U.S. dollar, differs from their respective local currencies, most notably in Israel, Singapore and Switzerland. Our U.S. operations also have foreign currency exposure due to net monetary assets denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In addition to net monetary remeasurement, we have exposures related to the translation of subsidiary financial statements from their functional currency, the local currency, into its reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, most notably in the Netherlands, China, Taiwan, Japan and Germany.
Based on our foreign currency exposure as of July 4, 2026, a 10.0% fluctuation could impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows by $6.0 million to $7.0 million. Our attempts to hedge against these risks may not be successful and may result in a material adverse impact on our financial results and cash flow.
We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency-denominated expenses in the normal course of business and, accordingly, they are not speculative in nature. These instruments generally mature within twelve months. We have foreign exchange forward contracts with a notional amount of $70.0 million outstanding as of July 4, 2026.

Item 4. - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Management, with the participation of our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 4, 2026. Based on that evaluation, the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of July 4, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
In connection with the evaluation by our management, including with the participation of our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our internal control over financial reporting, no changes during the three months ended July 4, 2026 were identified to have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
