News Release
Axcelis Announces
Financial Results for Third Quarter 2023
Financial
Results Continue to be Driven by Strong Purion Demand in the Global Silicon Carbide Power Device Market
BEVERLY,
Mass. — Nov. 1, 2023 — Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACLS) today
announced financial results for the third quarter of 2023.
Highlights include:
| · | The Company reported third quarter revenue of $292.3 million, compared to $274.0 million for the second quarter of 2023. |
| · | Operating profit for the quarter was $71.7 million, compared to $63.7 million for the second quarter. |
| · | Net income for the quarter was $65.9 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, compared to $61.6 million, or $1.86 per diluted share in
the second quarter. |
| · | Gross margin for the quarter was 44.4%, compared to 43.7% in the second quarter. |
| · | Third quarter ended with systems backlog of $1.2 billion on quarterly bookings of $198 million. |
President and CEO Russell Low commented, “Axcelis delivered strong
third quarter financial performance due to robust demand for the Purion product family, especially in the silicon carbide power market.
Axcelis is the only company with a product line that can deliver complete recipe coverage for all power device applications. We are the
technology leader and the supplier of choice providing the best device manufacturing capabilities. This uniquely positions Axcelis to
benefit from high growth in this market. Axcelis expects to achieve revenue of greater than $1.1 billion in 2023.”
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer James Coogan said,
“We are very pleased with our third quarter 2023 financial results. Revenue, EPS and gross margins all finished well above guidance.
Axcelis has had the rare opportunity to grow revenue 20% year over year as well as improve profitability during a significant industry
downturn. This is a result of strong product positioning and continued strong execution in a challenging environment.”
Business
Outlook
For the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2023, Axcelis expects revenues of approximately $295 million. Gross
margin in the fourth quarter is expected to be approximately 45%. Fourth quarter operating profit is forecast to be approximately $73
million with earnings per diluted share of approximately $2.00. For the full year, the Company expects to achieve revenue of greater
than $1.1 billion and to achieve full year gross margins of approximately 43.6% as shown in the $1.1 billion model.

Safe Harbor
Statement
This press release and the conference call contain forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act safe harbor provisions. These statements, which include our expectations for revenues, gross margin, operating profit and other guidance
for our future financial performance and spending in our industry, are based on management’s current expectations and should
be viewed with caution. They are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements, many of which are outside the control of the Company, including that customer decisions to place
orders or our product shipments may not occur when we expect, that orders may not be converted to revenue in any particular quarter, or
at all, whether demand will continue for the semiconductor equipment we produce or, if not, whether we can successfully meet changing
market requirements, and whether we will be able to maintain continuity of business relationships with and purchases by major customers.
Increased competitive pressure on sales and pricing, increases in material and other production costs that cannot be recouped in product
pricing and instability caused by changing global economic, political or financial conditions could also cause actual results to differ
materially from those in our forward-looking statements. These risks and other risk factors relating to Axcelis are described more fully
in the most recent Form 10-K filed by Axcelis and in other documents filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
