Please Operator, line. take open to ready we are questions. the

Operator

you. Thank

conducting We question-and-answer [Operator will a session Instructions]. be now

Our of Please first your Quinn from the with Bolton comes question and line of question. Needham proceed Company.

Quinn Bolton

I nice actions off challenging on last guess export in able Hey China. some take impact, had regulations the environment. license commerce guys, of changing for if where wanted mean a the and they're revenue start a to at what and in with military to that's Monday performance requirements congratulations recent department any been look for military the you've new use if that might those business? users end Wondering I

Jeff Andreson

some say, some up last headlines in had customers. licenses haven't the on would seen virtual from we were China be good days. to many Many, there's take the provide years our feel from on a have And shipped the of I I in any that the But but ago, going time, everything any eye a it. given getting close to into the come limitations haven't so might this. come gotten we license would a there. it this don't feeling semiconductor of whether industry. keeping effect required general, We're license for few really

unfortunately, licensing. that So of better will they're of OEM the ones one probably actually do our the it's asked customers as

Quinn Bolton

Understood, the topic it's been I asked over because week… last

Jeff Andreson

Yeah.

Quinn Bolton

guys the is sort revenue you over Inventory last business, followed. few obviously the big onto quarters. Moving had of a ramp

reflective wondering into think is kind half we you about can second how year, anything is you're inventory may about Just read of thinking or inventory that there higher how half as higher the sort inventory given the the come And you balance? what you're of the as the thinking June second balance of of hold, quarter?

Jeff Andreson

light to demand would tell very I inventory is environment inbound that of what constrain very, is the in We Well, strong. opted you still of challenges. overly not the some

the inventory sure we well. As we have through and make turn it want as challenges, can get to those we in

say we on down likely quarter, out range. probably come at stayed look maybe number, where slightly, pretty flat healthy. it'll the inventory would depending next we turn Our I as pretty in

down we'll to but And strong so as go manage into a still some QX environment see it levels, relatively as we demand well. we

Quinn Bolton

to the increased given seen activity your supplier look just customers some some world? of last from then during and suppliers, up downturns, we've driven COVID base. I to of wondering your the effect periods of supplier the tighten if may from that you're the any seeing Obviously, think supply And try of base, was to me. I uncertainty question the some customers tighten especially around

Jeff Andreson

you think? reduce, tighten I By mean

Quinn Bolton

yourself? larger folks like kind reduce number suppliers of Yes, consolidate to of the the

Jeff Andreson

Yes, kind given has you the I think that industry of the global actually and would miraculous global this it’s been able what to I of accomplish, tell the chain. nature supply

like ramp seeing that that you of bigger, not challenged smaller industry bigger would more players I'm and So, as and to gets become things tell I some happen. the that. the

So, pretty to have addressing it entire we than that re-jigger a ability is the companies I I'd function in more kind of done well the of global say ramp chain. in most reported just, the grow situation. supply of to it's mean

Operator

you. Thank

question with your with Bank. from Sidney Deutsche Please next Ho Our comes proceed question.

Sidney Ho

can what there The been help and quantify you QX first no revenue QX, if were one is, supply constraints? would us for maybe have

Jeff Andreson

we would two headwinds But think than the with our of I you beginning probably spacing range hear then I base been industry shutdowns our weeks we they’re you’ll certainly higher and as everybody probably have QX, of towards impacted have end because our everyone of kind when of the look customers QX, we mainly couple and I requirements think at say And large out supply think the China's upper underlying of is with the operations. revenue into had there. from the not would customers. the have look realign run the adjust too, at been that with a guidance we ending industry, in of had reflow revenue I the is to demand for in obviously provided, because

working So factories everybody their over adjust. to is

Sidney Ho

can will your factories about to of regain whatnot. to comments related can this impact? or And parts share get out think based when relate in Malaysia talk shares? your you just this you those on open, simply back? comment, get of some you of you can market that shipping and kind expectation competitors’ Is Would your that be have sounds your start like you QX, you when those quantify that, to able lost Kind or you because

Jeff Andreson

do have our comment think was in small. made fairly haven't any duplicate one that's of competitors we lost by weldments about gas but They gains. share I we We know market Well, there think share delivery. a

the that's overlap that point since additional we're just also due has we've correct us not to just inference that market you about what put I'd in our product this seen the the lines. from can and XXX% won growth as outgrowing and we don't the gains year that see industry came share out some is maybe really last we year largely revenue as think you a year share ago, well. market talked significantly effect XXX% that I year-over-year gains that when compare our with So we it

Sidney Ho

you you this share talk today now? you would in my Maybe past, rank these range more you how question XXXX? progress talked last year, opportunities Can as revenue your calendar about the a and have for us about of opportunities gain expectation aggregate in maybe what well. do be these opportunities have gave And order is, some these appropriate

Larry Sparks

think scorecard. we component quarter-by-quarter delivery, chemical in I going to in degree the looking the that late that said we're then really you and businesses and customers with our of the in try call, of the for is our side LDM distribution U. on What Sidney, initial may tell and here in outside and the weldments There we're machining. precision to the on last success weren't I may opportunities in impact would of the we expanding do the in on S. the U. at we some gas geographically obviously, is start working year around opportunity have that additional some qualifying S.

Operator

Thank you.

of Karl your proceed Cowen. next the question. Our question from line Ackerman Please with comes with

Unidentified Analyst

for different your please. in kind your This it say put to guess do have few near-term. months then have with way. up With of you the I follow comparability out do is in a gives different many here companies you Sam And And the I on confidence the How play next guide? in What semi-cap guidance customers? exposures that reluctant other Karl. visibility to a the

Jeff Andreson

for that can twice look where and than our supply come we bit wide. big range. set our of at I us. we think anticipating. its range think online operationally, do. a is recovery. were we where I'd from a challenge as We've could But now, end quite recovery Malaysia we being right as able think is think comfortable we of say, today typically we're I nearly it our comfortable we're and do faster the top of widened a I what chain at back we're what with It's you pretty is to

we've spacing that in levels pre-COVID employees now we near or putting completely, operate place now the to kind back And be approved they're there. bringing been to pre-COVID should protocols of capacity on, of we're back our all and

with a And but of where put the so in, If which other going I to with places comfortable predict a providing doesn't range something feel happen, happens now. that, think lot restrictions is can't future. we're we

Unidentified Analyst

on to given expecting should about ramp talked how then gross year of we I impressive already, has rest them the call through revenue thinking bit a about the linearity up your And the we how we’re to Thank but be rest long margins been to-date? think the of your beyond But the catch June possibly of seen and you. the demand how trend year, cost speaking course. not COVID-XX take it through you've positively here, with through could considered? labor structure

Larry Sparks

XXX Well, to think kind contribute I improvement of range when before said should in XXX we were projecting what of We around we the from point growth XXX. the margin. a that basis said midpoint

depend addition still overall volume of that to the sort can and we to strength I QX. would think capacity to normal back flow on kind kind confident we as it through lot are a where get at in demand of that mentioned what least of in to expect see then the that of that and and we customer more will leverage kind beyond of we and and demand, of execute factories, see Jeff we're as

done cost of also, customer just which QX, get those the then QX how And depending much we're to there's kind timing how some happen upon we dynamic. we and in quickly have, may that programs changing of responding or can

our and back. beyond basis the in XXX machining of we get weldment to of precision try go mix road will higher least increase down we And as we to and mentioned points So model. as closer we amount expect the to areas, before, then that get the at products

Operator

Thank you.

proceed Diffely comes with question next your question. Our D.A. with Tom Davidson. Please from

Tom Diffely

When $XXX further. at or one what get to from back $XXX going Are range. to step XXX couple be margin to minus ago? the similar million the the you plus years million as sorry, you was margin XX taking Larry, well So back it

Larry Sparks

I would slightly be close get we the at we're we'll if that as end under say this but that. that level, probably year revenue still of to very towards and

I that have lot point. where definitely mix product we at to we that's If that the of I on the in think areas a that we precision continue to depend of and expect going range to of the can the capture we in weldment machining, think it's share expect to be.

Jeff Andreson

try of We’re the machine. increase, and and our driving to obviously, mix our precision weldment

I good share got wave others of and working that gains a on think we've in we're initial space. market

go So be Larry that our kind have as be the we'll kick continuing said, year, as will we helpful to programs through cost as in. well. And reduction of

Tom Diffely

And weaker then that at just a hit quarter, in was little was subject, was a more facility on than why the weldment the that rest? it the

Jeff Andreson

allowed the to we majority California people When and shut get facility of a you up shutdown our takes list. one is I smaller locally, we of Malaysia. we is up were in in better before bring weeks here Malaysia bring a essential Then we well for closed definition, about about was that then and obviously, And or Yes, before of have County industries production were for facilities, were mean, largest our a even part of labor. added it that then large Alameda while at to facility the week have three weldment back. the the weldment in to the three as Portland. vast we kind XX% the kind down, of

as down were for better they part of two well. So weeks the

there. So you that for almost straight lose do stream revenue weeks two

and of panels Malaysia they But combination a weldments the that we make is gas vast sell externally. we internally it that use the majority internally for And in of that Malaysia, is weldments used.

bring very And critical point, they're it's a that up at coming Malaysia had is curve to been and us. why that out effect quickly. come so to which back, the job. been notified good is for since only mean, on They're week they've back so, a I operations capacity everything two doing

Tom Diffely

then Yes, home or have I be little capacity that? social a factories. know the look to you your it that do Has finally, tough empty And you sort at weld can inside the at of when of distancing kind enough reduced sometimes.

Jeff Andreson

where would the impactful capacity degree. us, gas spacing panels answer the think the they have the It requirements the because our are there all of seeing sites more integration and yes. machining machining impact doing where room an out other there's the where in like not were is areas little there's CNCs. operations But really little the space space assembled, to Q&A of things is weldments as on as and gets that I our clean we're the say, are look So, limits clean in not you're some at the necessarily and a and final you I constrained. actual a rooms and

just And job of next is to we ways. few we really the see into. that work guide enough those creative team doing have I good do range they can. think and that revenue out capacity eke around all a to to try that quarter operations in created capacities we've for trying certainly bottlenecks. We So We're the a the

Operator

you. Thank

Our Markets. line with question. the Mitch Steves comes proceed of Please from RBC Capital next your question with

Mitch Steves

just had kind one on demand of is first the The side. I

pretty that's you XX seeing guys it just over this months disruption was continue? of terms there you going of that demand So that news environment months giving Q-over-Q realized cyclical XX I or are that to or orders think, going let's say now. flat But down how first the it's relatively call year. year all next in guess, type visibility what very the about confidence is demand you forward But last give the question as we're of I think my guys kind given what given very, we’re so? here, demand you have confidence potential do we is in. I good, disruption, guys guiding for just

Jeff Andreson

expect the certainly I months. get this we strong. strength customers our I that predict the them fairly difficult and logic as still by in from think first And is very this XX memory what some Well, at you this input recovery half. on point. remaining global foundry a is out do as the side. of in through we've It's the that could happen don't to tell from We driven demand seen economy some will come the is message that we

the if don't impact do be want trickle industry itself. there's one semiconductor it this. But to effect to that some it, first to be may obviously I an and down go So, going the have to

just said But going secular a now, things there's kind technology of that, right taking lot having on transition of XG. to

been of of has that I the downside. and upside infrastructure think the an to kind all work-from-home

where you is see now and like right the may are think of strong obviously but phones hand it I well. very PCs some eventually, that as things in

So, foot wish I one the and predict the could brake we operate brake with the the gas near quickly. the fairly and We applied on one I foot company future.

that the rightsize think see in last quickly if we the infrastructure I to you can able need fairly to cycle be. were

and and say So react that is as you've that there we monitor strong. -- them situation our demand. customers the heard we'll the from still right we'll the fairly it see it, now signal But remains is

Mitch Steves

kind do companies benefit of fabs that fab fill the built, and not that guess wouldn't is probably And makes new just does just the I And versus one States one? then in to guys very really going an if matter So in of fabs Would if XX% the one was guys trying is is the surprised new this a it’s build curious had it sense? to on I a had to manufacturers fabs it plus versus U. other know or bring to I are idea if year I building old a be United follow close going on mind them or that think you last beneficial you the couple is incentivize. incentivize to S. you that filling then just ASML year, is semiconductor and start the just built or ups, one so here. last if you to old be you just that? thought

Jeff Andreson

It a year very revenue was in year. last getting there low

tools the And question numbers large we're but different enough ASML department about them this in fill fab given parts they'll of up a growing other end to all for you us. some customers there's the and licensing, say, fill the year, that tools make But the building they the business shift them they'll what location is us. this new can't in outgrow, to need more of XX%. they node and beneficial So fabs, technology to the may fill in they whereas the fast do get like just where S. slightly the unless address Greenfield would they technology would of fabs with whether stuff I grow because node. and around up get Greenfield be on U. impact commerce is beneficial with -- to probably to magnitude just then we

would probably, a happen that be should if So, it net in benefit.

you. Thank

comes question from question. Stifel. Please proceed next Our with your Patrick Ho with

Patrick Ho

Maybe for margin terms COVID-XX. gross with of you, Jeff or the specifically impact Larry, in

in like the You lot prepared a said utilization, and of at of it was things it manufacturing based on that XXX shutdowns basis least the quarter and march nature. remarks, points sounds the on

still that June Is back for As bigger that biggest basis you in are kind of the of manufacturing variable impacts point gets look those XXX chain, normal impact. XXX logistics and to maybe June impact more the that the quarter basis point as operations? at or quarter point supply

Larry Sparks

Patrick, Yes, question. sort of think the you I answered

We're to the costs had end change of work the significantly we factories seeing socially we're shift also, -- obviously around when will that freight our back you the see and quarter. think to of people up, freight, higher distance logistics, sort of quarter coverage. as most impact bring a we've as last I and opposed

things. more have late which and on shift the we other So premiums shifts, have people

of little rates hourly think getting kind up people pay you'll average end on will as we production a see want higher So, where be. that it bit to to I up we

to think with or direct with ended mentioned, number we figure needed or of to as them shutdown shelter-in-place impaired a a I of do. factories we the Jeff good the the shutdown, lot trying out March orders, what significantly

said, understand what Jeff we now. to as think do I

moving We kind will where around have further away they We've looking optimize normally cleanings and at around be. kind equipment factory would also distance that the of from extra operations inside for costs of output some operations folks. and

put composition bit as of is we of of different significant and little in impact energy what a inside happened a force them the how a I think inside end on going similar there's and margin when our but factory where they at amount result structure labor we So, and the to That is work. QX.

Patrick Ho

And machining. Jeff in precision up it's maybe you've and my question, as revenues about weldments share gains about talked follow your evident obviously in growth the in year-to-year

are as Have you in at for their the right customers and and gains? timing evaluations the of making qualification track? And near-term sure your focused just get of any largest and on I'm believe current that out that yourself XXXX environment. what the now looking seen Do are you potentially situation the focus evaluations into does on customers these on push just the products. is, the still Given is everyone it share the that changes

Jeff Andreson

in continuity going think pieces, two and you probably qualified, that supply I'd I So, of this go if I quickly are I think get those a really mean, Patrick. there something to now. split is have

So, your if you something, generally that with vendors with they you need or us. to qualify ensure work to customers would change
