• Non-Pay-TV recurring revenue grew 48% year over year, while management maintained its long-term annual revenue target of $600 million and said the delayed deals remain active opportunities rather than lost business.
• Management sees substantial semiconductor growth ahead as hybrid bonding adoption expands across logic, HBM, 3D DRAM, NAND, and chiplet applications, with logic growth expected in 2027-2028 and memory renewals in 2028-2029.
• Third-quarter adjusted EBITDA was $36.9 million, or a 46% margin, and full-year operating-expense guidance was lowered to $176 million-$180 million due to cost discipline and delayed litigation spending.
