Bruno Guilmart, Kulicke & Soffa’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our results exceeded the high-end of prior guidance, with revenue increasing approximately 39% compared to the prior quarter led by our OSAT customers. We continue to benefit from strong demand from both our ball and wedge bonder equipment lines from a wide range of customers.
“Momentum continued in the gold to copper transition, with approximately 71% of our ball bonder shipments in the most recent quarter sold as copper capable bonders. We also continue to benefit from ongoing replacement demand for our latest generation of gold only ball bonders. We have also seen an increased demand for large area bondable options, which enable our customers to gain added efficiencies and reduce the cost of packaging. We believe we are maintaining our leadership position by offering the best equipment and tools solutions available on the market, backed by a flexible and efficient manufacturing model that allows us to ramp up production to meet customer demand.”
