Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except share amounts and per share data)

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

Photronics, Inc. (“Photronics”, “the Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of photomasks, which are high-precision photographic quartz or glass plates containing microscopic images of electronic circuits. Photomasks are a key element in the manufacture of ICs and FPDs and are used as masters to transfer circuit patterns onto semiconductor wafers and FPD substrates during the fabrication of ICs, a variety of FPDs and, to a lesser extent, other types of electrical and optical components. The Company currently has eleven manufacturing facilities, located in Taiwan (3), China (2), South Korea (1), the United States (3), and Europe (2).

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in them. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable based on the facts and circumstances available at the time they are made. Subsequent actual results may differ from such estimates. The Company reviews these estimates periodically and reflects any effects of revisions in the period in which they are determined.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“the financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial reporting information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The financial statements include the accounts of Photronics, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and the majority-owned subsidiaries which it controls. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, which provides additional information about the Company’s accounting policies and the methods and assumptions used in the Company’s estimates.

The Company’s business is typically impacted during the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year by the North American, European, and Asian holiday periods, as some customers may change their development and buying activities during this period. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2026.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements”, which improves the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifies when that guidance is applicable. The guidance in this ASU will be effective for Photronics for interim reporting periods in its first quarter of fiscal year 2028 Form 10-Q. The amendments can be applied either (1) prospectively or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Table of Contents

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, “Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities”. This update establishes authoritative guidance on the accounting for government grants received by business entities. The guidance in this ASU will be effective for Photronics in its fiscal year 2030 Form 10-K, with early application of the amendments allowed. The standard may be applied using a modified prospective, modified retrospective or full retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 will require the Company to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, as applicable, as well as qualitatively describe remaining amounts included in those captions. The guidance in this ASU will be effective for Photronics in its fiscal year 2028 Form 10-K, with early application of the amendments allowed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments allow investors to better assess, in their capital allocation decisions, how an entity’s worldwide operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its income tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The guidance in this ASU will be effective for Photronics in its fiscal year 2026 Form 10-K, with early application of the amendments allowed. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU adoption on its disclosures.

NOTE 2 – CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS

The Company invests excess cash primarily in bank time deposits and money market funds. The Company’s classification of investments is as follows:

-	Maturing within three months or less from the date of purchase	Cash and cash equivalents
-	Maturing, as of the date of purchase, more than three months, but with remaining maturities of less than one year, from the balance sheet date	Short-term investments
-	Maturing one year or more from the balance sheet date	Long-term marketable investments

The accounting framework for determining fair value includes a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to measure fair value, which enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of three tiers as follows:

Level 1- These are investments where values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2- These are investments where values are based on quoted market prices that are not active or model derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

Level 3- These are investments where values are derived from techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

Table of Contents

The following are cash, cash equivalents and investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Restricted cash is included in other assets and primarily relates to customs requirements and land lease agreements.

Based upon the Company’s intent and ability to hold its time deposits to maturity (which maturities range up to twelve months at purchase), such securities have been classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The Company’s U.S. Government Securities, Commercial paper and Money market funds are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses (net of tax) reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). In the event of a sale of these securities, the Company would determine the cost of the investment sold at the specific individual security level and would include any gain or loss in Interest income and other income, net, where the Company also reports periodic interest earned and the amortization (accretion) of discounts (premiums) related to these investments. As of May 3, 2026, and October 31, 2025, the unrealized gains or losses related to short-term investments were immaterial.

NOTE 6 - PDMCX JOINT VENTURE

In January 2018, Photronics, Inc., through its wholly-owned Photronics Singapore PTE. LTD. subsidiary (hereinafter, within this Note “we”, “Photronics”, “us”, or “our”), and DNP, through its wholly owned subsidiary DNP Asia Pacific PTE, Ltd., entered into a joint venture under which DNP obtained a 49.99% interest in the Company’s IC business in Xiamen, China. The joint venture, which the Company refers to as “PDMCX”, was established to develop and manufacture photomasks for semiconductors. The Company entered into this joint venture to enable the Company to compete more effectively for the merchant photomask business in China, and to benefit from the additional resources and investment that DNP provides to enable the Company to offer advanced-process technology to the Company’s customers.

Under the joint venture agreement, should either Photronics’ or DNP’s ownership interest fall below 20.0% for a period of more than six consecutive months, such party (an “exiting party”) has the option to sell to the other party, and the other party has the option to purchase from such exiting party, the exiting party’s remaining ownership interest. In either case, the sales of ownership interests would be at the exiting party’s ownership percentage of the joint venture’s net book value, with closing to take place within three business days of obtaining required approvals and clearance.

Table of Contents

The following table presents the net income the Company recorded from the operations of PDMCX during the reporting periods.

Net income from PDMCX	$	4,707	$	7,557	$	9,820	$	10,925

As required by the guidance in ASC Topic 810 - “Consolidation”, the Company evaluated the Company’s involvement in PDMCX for the purpose of determining whether the Company should consolidate its results in the Company’s financial statements. The initial step of the Company’s evaluation was to determine whether PDMCX was a VIE. Due to its lack of sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, the Company determined that it is a VIE. Having made this determination, the Company then assessed whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIE and concluded that the Company was the primary beneficiary during the current and prior years reporting periods; thus, as required, the PDMCX financial results have been consolidated with Photronics. The Company’s conclusion was based on the fact that the Company held a controlling financial interest in PDMCX (which resulted from the Company’s having the power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted its economic performance) and had both the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to PDMCX. The Company’s conclusion that the Company had the power to direct the activities that most significantly affected the economic performance of PDMCX during the current and prior year periods were based on the Company’s right to appoint the majority of its Board of Directors, which has, among others, the powers to manage the business (through its rights to appoint and evaluate PDMCX’s management), incur indebtedness, enter into agreements and commitments, and acquire and dispose of PDMCX’s assets. In addition, as a result of the 50.01% variable interest the Company held during the current and prior year periods, the Company had the obligation to absorb losses, and the right to receive benefits, which could potentially be significant to PDMCX.

The following table presents the carrying amounts of PDMCX assets and liabilities included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. General creditors of PDMCX do not have recourse to the assets of Photronics (other than the net assets of PDMCX); therefore, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss from PDMCX is the Company’s interest in the carrying amount of the net assets of the joint venture.

Finance Lease

In April 2026, the Company received a tool component associated with the purchase of an FPD lithography tool. Under the arrangement, the Company may either return or purchase the tool component from the vendor after a 12-month period. The Company has determined that the arrangement contains an embedded finance lease under ASC 842, as it contains an identified asset, has the right to direct the use of the asset and obtains substantially all the economic benefits from its use.

NOTE 8 - REVENUE

The Company recognizes revenue when, or as, control of a good or service transfers to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those goods or services. The Company accounts for an arrangement as a revenue contract when each party has approved and is committed to perform under the contract, the rights of the contracting parties regarding the goods or services to be transferred and the payment terms are identifiable, the arrangement has commercial substance, and collection of consideration is probable. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue comes from the sales of photomasks. The Company typically contracts with its customers to sell sets of photomasks, which are comprised of multiple layers, the predominance of which the Company invoices as they ship to customers. As the photomasks are manufactured to customer specifications, they have no alternative use to the Company and, as the Company’s contracts generally provide it with the right to payment for work completed to date, the Company recognizes revenue as it performs, or “over time,” on most of its contracts. The Company measures its performance to date using an input method, which is based on the Company’s estimated costs to complete the various manufacturing phases of a photomask. At the end of a reporting period, there are a number of uncompleted revenue contracts on which the Company has performed; for any such contracts under which the Company is entitled to be compensated for its costs incurred plus a reasonable profit, the Company recognizes revenue and a corresponding contract asset for such performance. The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities that it performs after a customer obtains control of a good as being activities to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer the good to the customer, rather than as promised services, or performance obligations, under the contract. The Company reports its revenue net of any sales or similar taxes the Company collects on behalf of governmental entities.

Table of Contents

As stated above, photomasks are manufactured to customer specifications in accordance with their proprietary designs; thus, they are individually unique. Due to their uniqueness and other factors, their transaction prices are individually established through negotiations with customers; consequently, the Company’s photomasks do not have standard or “list” prices. The transaction prices of the vast majority of the Company’s revenue contracts include only fixed amounts of consideration. In certain instances, such as when the Company offers a customer an early payment discount, an estimate of variable consideration would be included in the transaction price, but only to the extent that a significant reversal of revenue would not occur when the uncertainty related to the variability was resolved.

Contract Assets, Contract Liabilities, and Accounts Receivable

The Company recognizes a contract asset when its performance under a contract precedes the Company’s receipt of consideration from a customer, or before payment is due, and the right to receive consideration is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Contract assets reflect the Company’s transfer of control to customers of photomasks that are in process or completed but not yet shipped to customers. A receivable is recognized when the Company has an unconditional right to payment, which generally occurs upon the shipment of the photomasks. The Company’s contract assets primarily consist of in-process production orders and fully manufactured photomasks which have not yet shipped, for which the Company has an enforceable right to consideration (including a reasonable profit) in the event the in-process orders are cancelled by customers. On an individual contract basis, the Company nets contract assets with contract liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The Company did not identify impairment indicators for any outstanding contract assets during the three-month and six-month periods ended May 3, 2026, or May 4, 2025.

The following table provides information about the Company’s contract balances at the balance sheet dates.

Other liabilities		12,233		5,041
	$	25,606	$	14,532

The Company did not recognize any revenue from performance obligations satisfied in the previous periods. The following table presents revenue recognized from contract liabilities that existed at the beginning of the reporting periods.

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	May 3,		May 4,		May 3,		May 4,
	2026		2025		2026		2025
Revenue recognized from beginning liability	$	2,327	$	2,589	$	3,010	$	5,745

The Company generally records accounts receivable at their billed amounts. All outstanding past due customer invoices are reviewed for collectability during, and at the end of, every reporting period. To the extent the Company believes a loss on the collection of a customer invoice is probable, the Company would record the loss and credit an allowance for credit losses. In the event that an amount is determined to be uncollectible, the Company charges the allowance for credit losses and derecognizes the related receivable. The amount of credit losses recorded for the three-month or six-month periods ended May 3, 2026, and May 4, 2025 were not material.

Table of Contents

The Company’s invoice terms generally range from net thirty to ninety days, depending on both the geographic market in which the transaction occurs and the Company’s payment agreements with specific customers. In the event that the Company’s evaluation of a customer’s business prospects, and financial conditions indicate that the customer presents a collectability risk, the Company will modify terms of sale, which may require payment in advance of performance. At the time of adoption, the Company elected the practical expedient allowed under ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”) that permits the Company not to adjust a contract’s promised amount of consideration to reflect a financing component when the period between when the Company transfers control of goods or services to customers and when the Company is paid is one year or less.

In instances when the Company is paid in advance of the Company’s performance, the Company records a contract liability and, as allowed under the practical expedient in Topic 606, recognizes interest expense only if the period between when the Company receives payment from the customer and the date when the Company expects to be entitled to the payment is greater than one year. Historically, advance payments the Company has received from customers have generally not preceded the completion of the Company’s performance obligations by more than one year.

Contract Costs

The Company pays commissions to third-party sales agents for certain sales they procure on the Company’s behalf. However, the bases of the commissions are the transaction prices of the sales, which are completed in less than one year; thus, no relationship is established with a customer that will result in future business. Therefore, the Company would not recognize any portion of these sales commissions as costs of obtaining a contract, nor does the Company currently foresee other circumstances under which the Company would recognize such assets.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As the Company is typically required to fulfill customer orders within a short time period, the Company’s backlog of orders is generally not in excess of one to two weeks for IC photomasks and two to three weeks for FPD photomasks. As allowed under ASC 606 – Revenue Contracts with Customers, the Company has elected not to disclose the Company’s remaining performance obligations, which represent the costs associated with the completion of the manufacturing process of in-process photomasks related to contracts that have an original duration of one year or less.

Product Warranties

The Company’s photomasks are sold under warranties that generally range from one to twenty-four months. The Company warrants that the Company’s photomasks conform to customer specifications, and the Company will typically repair, replace, or issue a refund for any photomasks that fail to do so. The warranties do not represent separate performance obligations in the Company’s revenue contracts. Historically, customer claims under warranties have been immaterial.

NOTE 9 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

On April 2, 2025, at its annual meeting of shareholders, the shareholders of Photronics, Inc., approved the Company’s 2025 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2025 Plan”) under which incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock grants, stock-based awards, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units, performance stock, and other stock or cash awards may be granted. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2025 Plan is five million shares. Awards may be granted to officers, employees, directors, consultants, advisors, and independent contractors of Photronics or its subsidiaries. In the event of a change in control (as defined in the 2025 Plan), the vesting of awards may be accelerated. The 2025 Plan prohibits further awards from being issued under prior plans. The table below presents information on the Company’s share-based compensation expenses.

The research and development credit for the six months ended May 3, 2026, was primarily attributable to the forfeiture of previously granted time-vesting restricted stock awards, following the departure of an executive.

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company periodically grants restricted stock awards, the restrictions on which typically lapse over a service period of one to four years. The fair values of the awards are determined on the date of grant, based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock. The table below presents information on the Company’s restricted stock awards.

Restricted Stock Units

Commencing FY25, the Company began granting restricted stock units, the restrictions on which typically lapse over a service period of one to four years. The fair value of the awards is determined on the date of grant, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock. The table below presents information on the Company’s restricted stock unit awards.

Stock Options

Stock option awards generally vest in one to four years and have a ten-year contractual term. All incentive and non-qualified stock option grants must have an exercise price no less than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The grant-date fair values of options are based on closing prices of the Company’s common stock on the dates of grant and are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses historical option exercise behavior and employee termination data to estimate expected term, which represents the period of time that options granted are expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free rate of return for the estimated term of an option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. The table below presents information on the Company’s stock options.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES

The Company calculates its provision for income taxes at the end of each interim reporting period on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for tax items that are discrete to each period. The table below sets forth the primary reasons that the Company’s effective income tax rates differed from the U.S. statutory tax rates in effect during the periods ended May 3, 2026, and May 4, 2025.

Reporting Period	U.S. Statutory Tax Rates	Photronics Effective Tax Rates	Primary Reasons for Differences

Three months ended May 3, 2026	21.0%	19.7%	Non-U.S. pre-tax income being taxed at higher statutory rates in the non-U.S. jurisdictions, and changes in uncertain tax positions in non-U.S. jurisdictions have been more than offset by the impact of tax credit in a non-U.S. jurisdiction.

Three months ended May 4, 2025	21.0%	19.1%	Non-recognition of the tax benefit of losses that, in certain jurisdictions, have been offset by valuation allowances, non-U.S. pre-tax income being taxed at higher statutory rates in the non-U.S. jurisdictions, and changes in uncertain tax positions in non-U.S. jurisdictions.

Six months ended May 3, 2026	21.0%	19.4%	Non-U.S. pre-tax income being taxed at higher statutory rates in the non-U.S. jurisdictions, and changes in uncertain tax positions in non-U.S. jurisdictions have been more than offset by the impact of tax credit in a non-U.S. jurisdiction.

Six months ended May 4, 2025	21.0%	23.0%	Non-recognition of the tax benefit of losses that, in certain jurisdictions, have been offset by valuation allowances, non-U.S. pre-tax income being taxed at higher statutory rates in the non-U.S. jurisdictions, and changes in uncertain tax positions in non-U.S. jurisdictions.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Although the timing of reversal of uncertain tax positions may be indeterminate at this time, the Company believes the resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with our expectations could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition. Resolution of these uncertain tax positions may result from either or both the lapses of statutes of limitations and tax settlements. The Company is no longer subject to tax authority examinations in the U.S., major foreign, or state tax jurisdictions for years prior to fiscal year 2019. The table below presents information on unrecognized tax benefits as of the balance sheet dates.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with its condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. Various sections of this MD&A contain forward-looking statements, all of which are presented based on current expectations, which may be adversely affected by uncertainties and risk factors (presented throughout this filing and in the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025), that may cause actual results to materially differ from these expectations. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

We sell substantially all of our photomasks to designers and manufacturers of IC and FPD electronic devices. Photomask technology is also being applied to the fabrication of other high-technology products including advanced packaging modules, micro-optical components for applications such as virtual reality/augmented reality and silicon photonics, micro-electronic mechanical systems (MEMS), and diverse nanotechnology applications. Our selling cycle is tightly interwoven with the development and release of new semiconductor and display designs and applications, particularly as they relate to the semiconductor industry’s migration to more advanced design nodes and fabrication processes. The demand for photomasks is primarily correlated with new product design activity and to a lesser extent scaling up of manufacturing of end products. Consequently, an increase in semiconductor or display sales does not always result in a corresponding increase in photomask sales. To the extent integrated circuit and flat panel display applications rely less on new design activity, it could result in a reduction in demand for photomasks. In addition, new design methodologies driving a reduction in complexity of photomasks could also reduce demand for photomasks ‒ even if the demand for semiconductors and FPDs increases. More broadly, advances in semiconductor, display, and photomask design and production methods that shift the burden of achieving device performance away from lithography could also reduce the demand for photomasks. While there is no indication today that such diminishing of long-range photomask demand is occurring or will occur, the microelectronics industry has been volatile, experiencing periodic downturns and slowdowns in design activity. These negative trends have been characterized by, among other things, diminished product demand, excess production capacity, and accelerated erosion of selling prices with a concomitant effect on revenue and profitability.

We are typically required to fulfill customer orders within a short period of time, sometimes within twenty-four hours. This results in a minimal level of backlog orders, typically one to two weeks of backlog for IC photomasks and two to three weeks of backlog for FPD photomasks. However, the demand for some IC photomasks can extend longer than the traditional time period; thus, for some products, our backlog can expand to as long as two to three months.

The global semiconductor and FPD industries are driven by end markets which have broad application in the global economy including but not limited to consumer-driven applications, data centers that support AI implementation, electric vehicles and national security. While we cannot predict the timing of the industry’s transition to volume production of next-generation technology nodes, or the timing of up and down-cycles with precise accuracy, we believe that such transitions and cycles will continue into the future, beneficially and adversely affecting our business, financial condition, and operating results as they occur. We believe our ability to remain successful in these environments is dependent upon the achievement of our goals of being a service and technology leader and efficient solutions supplier, which we believe should enable us to continually reinvest in our global infrastructure.

We are focused on improving our competitiveness by advancing our technology and reducing costs and, in connection therewith, have invested and plan to continue to invest in manufacturing equipment to serve both the high-end and mainstream photomask markets. As we face challenges that require us to make significant improvements in our competitiveness, we continue to implement programs to streamline, drive efficiency and reduce costs in our infrastructure.

State-of-the-art production for semiconductor masks is considered to be 4 or 5 nanometer and smaller including EUV lithography for ICs and Generation 8.6 AMOLED display-based process technologies for FPDs. However, we define our high-end product category as 28nm and below for semiconductors and Generation 10.5 plus, Generation 6 and 8 AMOLED and LTPS for displays. This is consistent with current merchant mask industry definitions. Moreover, design nodes above 28nm and FPD processes for standard LCD displays below Generation 10 are considered mainstream or standard products. At these geometries and various high-end nodes, we can produce full lines of photomasks, and there is no significant technology employed by our competitors that is not available to us. We expect advanced-generation designs to continue to move to production throughout fiscal 2026, and we believe we are well positioned to service an increasing volume of this business as a result of our investments in manufacturing processes and technology in the regions where our customers are located.

Table of Contents

The photomask industry has been and is expected to continue to be characterized by technological change and evolving industry standards. In order to remain competitive, we will be required to continually anticipate, respond to, and utilize changing technologies. In particular, we believe that, as semiconductor geometries continue to become smaller and/or more complex, and display designs become larger or otherwise more advanced, we will be required to manufacture even more complex products, including photomasks with advanced optical proximity correction, insertion of curvilinear patterning and EUV photomasks. Additionally, demand for photomasks has been, and could in the future be, adversely affected by changes in high-performance electronics fabrication methods that affect the type or quantity of photomasks used, such as changes in semiconductor demand that favor programmable IC devices and other approaches that replace application-specific ICs, or the use of certain chip-stacking methodologies that lessen the emphasis on conventional lithography technology. Furthermore, increased market acceptance of alternative methods of transferring circuit designs onto semiconductor wafers could reduce or eliminate the need for photomasks in the production of semiconductors.

Our revenues have benefited, and our costs, including depreciation, have been affected by the increased demand for high-end-technology photomasks that require more advanced manufacturing capabilities, but generally command higher ASPs. Our year-to-date capital expenditure payments were $93.4 million and $95.7 million in Q2 FY26 and Q2 FY25, respectively. Nonetheless, we intend to continue to make the required investments to support the technological and production requirements of our customers that we believe will continue to enable our growth. This includes investments to replace end-of-life mask-making equipment with higher-performing systems that better serve our customers. In support of this effort, we expect capital expenditure payments to be approximately $330 million in fiscal year 2026.

The manufacture of photomasks for use in fabricating ICs, FPDs, and other related products built using comparable photomask-based process technologies has been, and continues to be, capital intensive. Our employees and our integrated global manufacturing network represent a significant portion of our fixed operating cost base. Should our revenue decrease as a result of a decrease in design releases from our customers, we may have excess or underutilized production capacity, which could significantly impact our operating margins, or result in write-offs from asset impairments.

Other Income decreased $8.0 million in Q2 FY26 compared with Q1 FY26 and increased $37.5 million compared with Q2 FY25, primarily due to foreign currency transaction gains and losses. These foreign currency impacts were primarily driven by fluctuations in the New Taiwan dollar and the South Korean won relative to the U.S. dollar.

Other Income increased by $32.1 million for the first six months of FY26 compared with the first six months of FY25, primarily due to foreign currency transaction gains and losses driven by favorable movements in the New Taiwan dollar and the South Korean won relative to the U.S. dollar.

Income Tax Provision ($ in millions)

On December 15, 2022, the European Union (EU) Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Pillar Two Framework. The EU effective dates were January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the directive. A significant number of other countries continue to implement similar legislation with varying effective dates. The Company is currently subject to Pillar Two, but we estimate that the financial impact is currently immaterial. We will continuously evaluate the potential impact of the Pillar Two Framework as future changes in legislation are enacted.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes significant changes to federal tax law and other regulatory provisions that may impact the Company. As the legislation enacted applies to tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, the impacts are effective starting in FY26. The Company has evaluated applicable provisions of the OBBBA for FY26 and has included the estimated impacts within the FY26 provision.

The effective income tax rate is sensitive to the jurisdictional mix of earnings.

The effective income tax rate increased in Q2 FY26, compared with Q1 FY26, primarily due to an increase in foreign taxes as well as changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings.

The effective income tax rate increased in Q2 FY26, compared with Q2 FY25, primarily due to an increase in foreign taxes as well as changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings.

The effective income tax rate decrease in YTD FY26 compared with YTD FY25, is primarily due to an investment tax credit in a non-U.S. jurisdiction in FY26.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $11.8 million in Q2 FY26, compared with $17.2 million in Q1 FY26; the decrease was the result of a reduction in net income at the Company’s Taiwan-based joint venture. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased by $3.5 million in Q2 FY26 from Q2 FY25, as a result of decreased net income at the Company’s China-based IC facility.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $29.1 million in YTD FY26, compared with $30.8 million in YTD FY25. The $1.7 million decrease was a result of decreased net income at the Company’s joint-venture operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash on hand and cash we generate from operations. Cash and cash equivalents were $511.5 million and $492.3 million as of May 3, 2026, and October 31, 2025, respectively. As of May 3, 2026, total cash and cash equivalents included $464.9 million held by foreign subsidiaries, including an aggregate of $389.2 million held by our joint ventures in Taiwan and China (consisting of $323.4 million held by our joint venture in Taiwan and $65.8 million held by our joint ventures in China). In addition, we currently have CNY 200 million or $25 million of borrowing capacity, at our discretion, in China to support local operations. This facility is subject to annual reviews and extensions with a current expiration date of July 31, 2026. As of May 3, 2026, PDMCX had no outstanding borrowings against the facility.

We consolidate our joint venture entities and control the boards of directors of such entities. In addition, we possess sufficient voting rights under the applicable joint venture agreements to approve dividend distributions through the ordinary governance process. Cash dividend declarations by our joint ventures do not require supermajority approval and cannot be blocked by minority shareholders. Accordingly, we believe the governance structure of our joint venture entities does not restrict our ability to cause distributions to be made from such entities. Transfers of funds from China are subject to the procedures and requirements of China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange, as well as applicable withholding taxes and other local compliance requirements. However, we believe that these considerations primarily affect the timing, administrative process, and net proceeds associated with distributions rather than our ability to access the underlying cash balances.

We continually evaluate alternatives for efficiently funding our capital expenditures and ongoing operations. These reviews may result in our engagement in a variety of investing and financing transactions, in the transfer of cash among subsidiaries, and/or the repatriation of cash to the U.S. The transfer of funds among subsidiaries could be subject to foreign withholding taxes; in certain jurisdictions, repatriation of these funds to the U.S. may subject them to U.S. state income taxes and/or local country withholding taxes. We believe that our liquidity, including available financing, is sufficient to meet our requirements through the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. Through the utilization of our existing liquidity, the cash we generate from operations and short-term investments, we plan to continue to invest in our business, with investments targeted to align with our customers’ technology road maps. In addition, we stand ready to invest in mergers, acquisitions, or strategic partnerships, should a suitable opportunity arise.

We estimate our capital expenditures for fiscal year 2026 will be approximately $330 million mainly in Asia and the U.S.; these investments will be targeted towards high-end and mainstream capacity that will increase the operating capability and efficiency, and enable us to support our customers’ near-term demands. As of May 3, 2026, we had outstanding capital commitments of approximately $172.0 million and accrued liabilities related to capital equipment purchases of approximately $39.3 million. Although payment timing could vary, primarily as a result of the timing of tool delivery, installation and testing, we currently estimate that we will fund $199.0 million of our total $211.3 million committed and recognized obligations for capital expenditures over the next twelve months.

On August 28, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized an increase to the Company’s existing share repurchase program from the remaining $31.7 million to $100 million. In June 2025, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $25 million of share repurchases. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 5.0 million shares for $97.4 million. During the three-month and six-month periods ended May 3, 2026, the Company did not repurchase any shares. As a result, $27.6 million remained available under this authorization as of May 3, 2026. Depending on market conditions, we may utilize some or the entire remaining approved amount to reacquire additional shares.

As discussed in Note 6 – PDMCX Joint Venture of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, DNP, the noncontrolling interest in the Company’s China-based joint venture has, under certain circumstances, the right to put its interest in the joint venture to Photronics, or to purchase the Company’s interest in the joint venture. Under all such circumstances, the sale of DNP’s interest would be at its ownership percentage of the joint venture’s net book value, with closing to take place within three business days of obtaining required approvals and clearance. As of the date of issuance of this report, DNP had not indicated its intention to exercise this right. As of May 3, 2026, Photronics and DNP each had net investments in this joint venture of approximately $177.1 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	144.3		$	109.9
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(117.9	)	$	(80.8	)
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(0.4	)	$	(95.1	)

Operating Activities: Net cash from operating activities reflects net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and the effects of changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $34.4 million in YTD FY26, compared with the same period of FY25, primarily due to the increased net income and positive changes in working capital.

Investing Activities: Net cash flows used in investing activities increased by $37.0 million in YTD FY26, compared to the same period in FY25, primarily driven by an increase in purchases of short-term investments of $78.1 million, partially offset by $37.4 million increase in proceeds from maturities and sales of short-term investments.

Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $94.7 million in YTD FY26, compared to the same period in FY25. This was primarily driven by a decrease in debt repayments of $18.0 million and common stock repurchases of $76.7 million.

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances were negatively impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates in YTD FY26 by $6.7 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP Net Income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders are “non-GAAP financial measures” as such term is defined by Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission and may differ from similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The financial tables below reconcile Photronics, Inc. financial results under U.S. GAAP to our non-GAAP financial information. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items are useful for analysts and investors to evaluate the Company’s on-going performance because they enable a more meaningful comparison of historical results of the Company’s core business. These non-GAAP metrics are not a measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Net income (loss), Net income (loss) per share, or any other measure of consolidated results under U.S. GAAP. The items excluded from these non-GAAP metrics but included in the calculation of their closest U.S. GAAP equivalent, are significant components of the condensed consolidated statement of income and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We conduct business in several major currencies throughout our worldwide operations, and our financial performance may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates of these currencies. Changes in exchange rates can positively or negatively affect our reported revenue, operating income, assets, liabilities, and equity. The functional currencies of our Asian subsidiaries are the South Korean won, the New Taiwan dollar, the Chinese yuan, and the Singapore dollar. The functional currencies of our European subsidiaries are the British pound sterling and the euro. In addition, we engage in transactions and have exposures to the Japanese yen.

We attempt to minimize our risk of foreign currency transaction losses by producing products in the same country in which the products are sold (thereby generating revenues and incurring expenses in the same currency), and by managing our working capital. However, in some instances, we sell products in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity where it was produced, or purchase products in a currency that differs from the functional currency of the purchasing entity. We may also enter into derivative contracts to mitigate our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations when we have a significant purchase obligation or significant receivable denominated in a currency that differs from the functional currency of the transacting subsidiary. We do not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. There can be no assurance that this approach will protect us from the need to recognize significant foreign currency transaction gains and losses, especially in the event of a significant adverse movement in the value of any foreign currency in which we conduct business against any of our functional currencies, including the U.S. dollar.

Our primary net foreign currency exposures as of May 3, 2026, included the South Korean won, the Japanese yen, the New Taiwan dollar, the Chinese yuan, the Singapore dollar, the British pound sterling, and the euro. As of that date, a 10% adverse movement in the value of currencies different from the functional currencies of our subsidiaries would have resulted in a net unrealized pre-tax loss of $66.8 million, which represents a decrease of $2.3 million from our exposure as of February 1, 2026. Our most significant exposures at May 3, 2026, were exposures of the New Taiwan dollar and the South Korean won against the U.S. dollar. We do not believe that a 10% change in the exchange rates of other non-U.S. dollar currencies, other than the aforementioned currencies, would have had a material effect on our May 3, 2026, condensed consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk

A 10% adverse or favorable movement in the interest rates on our variable rate borrowings would not have had a material effect on the Company’s May 3, 2026, condensed consolidated financial statements, as there were no variable rate borrowings outstanding as of the balance sheet date.

Inflation Risk

Inflationary factors generally affect us by increasing our labor and overhead costs, as well as costs associated with certain risks identified above, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial position. We have historically been able to recover the impacts of inflation through sales price increases; however, we cannot reasonably estimate our ability to successfully recover any impact of inflation through price increases in the future. Our inability to do so could harm our results of operations and financial position.

Item 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established, and currently maintain, disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Table of Contents

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.
