AXT, Inc. Announces a Preliminary Revenue Range for Second Quarter 2025

Business Wire09-07-2025
FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AXT, Inc. (NasdaqGS: AXTI), a leading manufacturer of compound semiconductor substrates, today announced a preliminary revenue range for its second quarter, ended June 30, 2025. AXT's full financial results for the second quarter of 2025 are scheduled to be announced on July 31, 2025.
AXT expects preliminary revenue for the second quarter of 2025 to be in the range of $17.5 to $18 million, below the company's previously stated guidance of $20 million to $22 million provided on May 1, 2025. The preliminary revenue range for the second quarter of 2025 is primarily the result of slower than expected issuance of export control permits for the company's gallium arsenide products in Q2 and a weaker demand environment in China.
'Though we continue to feel confident about our participation in a number of exciting technology trends, the current geopolitical environment remains challenging across our business,' said Morris Young, chief executive officer. 'Further, the demand environment in China has been weaker than expected for our gallium arsenide substrate business, as well as our consolidated raw material joint ventures. That said, we saw a meaningful increase in AI-related demand for indium phosphide in China during Q2 and were also pleased that our subsidiary, Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., ('Tongmei'), received its first export control permits for indium phosphide late in the quarter. In addition, we remain highly focused on gross margin improvement and despite the revenue shortfall, we expect to deliver Q2 2025 gross margins in the high single digits.'
The company will also host a conference call to discuss these results on July 31, 2025 at 1:30 p.m. PT. The conference call can be accessed at (800) 715-9871 (passcode 4378083). The call will also be simulcast at www.axt.com. Replays will be available at (800) 770-2030 (passcode 4378083) until Aug 7, 2025. Additional investor information can be accessed at http://www.axt.com.
