KLAC 10-Q Quarterly Reports

KLA Corporation (KLAC) reported strong financial performance for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2025. Total revenues increased by 7% year-over-year to $3.3 billion for the quarter, driven by robust growth in service revenue (up 18%) and a 4% increase in product revenue. This growth was particularly fueled by strong investments from memory customers in DRAM and high-bandwidth memory, alongside significant adoption of their advanced packaging products. The company also saw a notable uptick in its Semiconductor Process Control segment. The company maintained healthy profitability, with gross margin improving to 61.4% from 60.3% in the prior year's comparable quarter. Net income also saw a substantial increase, reaching $1.15 billion for the quarter, up from $824.5 million in the prior year. This improvement was partly due to the absence of the significant goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges recorded in the prior year's quarter. KLA continues to return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividend payments, signaling financial strength and a commitment to shareholder value.
