Total cash and investments at the end of fourth quarter 2025 were $484.0 million. On September 29, 2025, the Company issued $287.5 million of 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031, including the full $27.5 million over-allotment option. Net proceeds totaled approximately $246.7 million after debt-issuance costs and capped-call transactions. Cohu did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during fourth quarter 2025.

“Cohu delivered Q4 revenue of $122 million, up 30% year over year, supported by improving market fundamentals with estimated test cell utilization increasing to 76% in December. Fourth quarter recurring revenue is up 25% year-over-year driven by strong demand across services, interface solutions, and handler-related spares business,” said Cohu President and CEO Luis Müller. “Design-win momentum remains robust, spanning automotive ADAS, power devices, computing AI, and HBM inspection metrology solutions.”

Cohu expects first quarter 2026 sales to be in a range of $122 million +/- $7 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:

Included within this press release and accompanying materials are non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP Gross Margin/Profit, Net loss and Loss (adjusted earnings) per share, Operating income (loss), Operating Expense, effective tax rate, net cash per share and Adjusted EBITDA that supplement the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures adjust the Company’s actual results prepared under GAAP to exclude charges and the related income tax effect for: share-based compensation, the amortization of purchased intangible assets, restructuring costs, manufacturing transition and severance costs, impairments, change in indemnification receivable, duplicate facility costs, acquisition and transaction related costs and associated professional fees, depreciation of purchase accounting adjustments to property, plant and equipment, fair value adjustment to contingent consideration, pension curtailment adjustments, amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs (Adjusted EBITDA only) and loss on extinguishment of debt (Adjusted EBITDA only). Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP amounts for the periods presented herein are provided in schedules accompanying this release and should be considered together with the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. With respect to any forward-looking non-GAAP figures, we are unable to provide without unreasonable efforts, at this time, a GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation of any forward-looking figures due to their inherent uncertainty.

These non-GAAP measures are not meant as a substitute for GAAP, but are included solely for informational and comparative purposes. The Company’s management believes that this information can assist investors in evaluating the Company’s operational trends, financial performance, and cash generating capacity. Management uses non-GAAP measures for a variety of reasons, including to make operational decisions, to determine executive compensation in part, to forecast future operational results, and for comparison to our annual operating plan. However, the non-GAAP financial measures should not be regarded as a replacement for (or superior to) corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures.

Forward Looking Statements:

Certain statements contained in this release and accompanying materials may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding effects of growth in revenue in certain vertical markets, recurring revenue trends or test cell utilization metrics and corresponding financial impacts; new market entries, product introductions or customer adoptions and corresponding performance metrics or financial impacts; product market projected growth and market sizes and related revenue opportunities; expectations related to our FY2026 outlook, including quarterly projections; and any other statements that are predictive in nature and depend upon or refer to future events or conditions; and/or include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “likely,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend;” and/or other similar expressions among others. Statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. Any third-party industry analyst forecasts quoted are for reference only and Cohu does not adopt or affirm any such forecasts.

Actual results and future business conditions could differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors, including, without limitation: rapid technology changes and product transition and investment risks; industry cyclicality, seasonality and volatility; outsourced manufacturing and supply chain disruptions or dependencies; product defects and quality issues; supplier concentration and part shortages; inflation and interest-rate exposure; high customer concentration and rapid innovation cycles; semiconductor industry consolidation; operational strain from rapid shifts in demands; failure to meet innovation demands of customers and industries; talent attraction and retention challenges; AI-related risks; international operations complexity; trade barriers and tariffs; geopolitical instability; natural disasters and health events; climate transition and physical risks; stakeholder ESG expectations; M&A and strategic transaction risks; acquisition integration risks; risks related to gaining access to capital; foreign currency exposure; restructuring and impairment charges; financial‑institution instability; goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges; stock price volatility; underperformance against stock price or financial metric targets; indebtedness and covenant limits; dilution from equity issuances or note conversions; share repurchase uncertainties; anti‑takeover provisions; export controls and trade regulation; tax law changes and audits; environmental regulatory compliance; changing U.S. and foreign policy landscape; cybersecurity breaches or threats; IP protection challenges; IP infringement claims; data privacy obligations; or litigation risk.

These and other risks and uncertainties are discussed more fully in Cohu’s filings with the SEC, including our most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and the other filings made by Cohu with the SEC from time to time, which are available via the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as required by applicable law, Cohu does not undertake any obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operating performance. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods and these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the Company’s financial performance using some of the same measures as management. Management views share-based compensation as an expense that is unrelated to the Company’s operational performance as it does not require cash payments and can vary in amount from period to period and the elimination of amortization charges provides better comparability of pre- and post-acquisition operating results and to results of businesses utilizing internally developed intangible assets. Management initiated certain restructuring and manufacturing transition activities including employee headcount reductions and other organizational changes to align our business strategies and improve our cost structure. Restructuring and manufacturing transition costs have been excluded because such expense is not used by management to assess the core profitability of Cohu’s business operations. Impairment charges have been excluded as these amounts are infrequent and are unrelated to the operational performance of Cohu. Management believes the change in an uncertain tax position liability and related indemnification receivable is better reflected within income tax expense rather than SG&A. Duplicate facility costs have been excluded to provide investors a clearer view of ongoing operational performance by removing temporary expenses that do not reflect the Company’s ongoing operations. Acquisition costs, certain professional service costs related to convertible notes, and fair value adjustments to contingent consideration have been excluded by management, as they are not related to the core operating activities of the Company and can vary significantly from period to period. Excluding this data provides investors with a basis to compare Cohu’s performance against the performance of other companies without this variability. However, the non-GAAP financial measures should not be regarded as a replacement for (or superior to) corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and investors should be careful when comparing our non-GAAP financial measures to those of other companies.

Management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operating performance. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods and these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the Company’s financial performance using some of the same measures as management. Management views share-based compensation as an expense that is unrelated to the Company’s operational performance as it does not require cash payments and can vary in amount from period to period and the elimination of amortization charges provides better comparability of pre- and post-acquisition operating results and to results of businesses utilizing internally developed intangible assets. Management initiated certain restructuring and manufacturing transition activities including employee headcount reductions and other organizational changes to align our business strategies and improve our cost structure. Restructuring and manufacturing transition costs have been excluded because such expense is not used by Management to assess the core profitability of Cohu’s business operations. Impairment charges have been excluded as these amounts are infrequent and are unrelated to the operational performance of Cohu. Impairment charges have been excluded as these amounts are infrequent and are unrelated to the operational performance of Cohu. Management believes the change in an uncertain tax position liability and related indemnification receivable is better reflected within income tax expense rather than SG&A. PP&E step-up costs have been excluded by management as they are unrelated to the core operating activities of the Company. Duplicate facility costs have been excluded to provide investors a clearer view of ongoing operational performance by removing temporary expenses that do not reflect the Company’s ongoing operations. Acquisition costs, certain professional service costs related to convertible notes, and fair value adjustments to contingent consideration have been excluded by management as they are not indicative of core operating performance. Excluding this data provides investors with a basis to compare Cohu’s performance against the performance of other companies without this variability. However, the non-GAAP financial measures should not be regarded as a replacement for (or superior to) corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and investors should be careful when comparing our non-GAAP financial measures to those of other companies.
