Positioning

Axcelis makes ion implantation systems, one of the enabling front-end steps in IC manufacturing, and has operated for over 45 years. Chinese regulator filings assessed its share of the global and Chinese ion implantation markets at 20 to 25 percent in 2024, which is a third-party read on position rather than a company claim. FY2025 revenue was USD 839.0 million against USD 1,017.9 million in FY2024, with gross margin 44.9 percent, net income USD 120.2 million and diluted EPS USD 3.80; the decline reflects cyclical digestion in Power and General Mature markets partly offset by record customer service and installed base revenue. In the second quarter of 2026 revenue was USD 215.2 million, backlog stood at USD 452 million, China was 46 percent of quarterly revenue, and the company raised FY2026 guidance to mid-single-digit revenue growth. The pending all-stock merger with Veeco, announced in October 2025 at approximately USD 4.4 billion enterprise value, would make Veeco a wholly owned subsidiary of Axcelis, with Axcelis holders at approximately 58 percent, headquarters in Beverly and a new name, ticker and brand after close. Shareholder approvals were obtained on 2026-02-06 and the final outstanding condition is clearance from China SAMR.
