Current Status#

Summary of the most recent reporting period: core figures, drivers and management statements; written editorially from the current original report, every figure backed by a source number.

AXT reported quarterly revenue of 47.6 million, with net income of 11.1 million and diluted EPS of 0.17 23. Operating cash flow for the period was 10.8 million. A capital raise was completed in December 2025 and the company stated it is on track to more than double indium phosphide manufacturing capacity in H2 2026 23.
Management commentary on the 2026-Q4 results (8-K-EX99.1, 2026-01-09):
„While we are disappointed that we were not able to ship indium phosphide substrates to fulfil more customer orders in December, we continue to work diligently with the Ministry of Commerce on the export permit process and are hopeful that we will receive additional permits in the first quarter 2026. As we have noted, the timing for permit issuance can be fluid and doesn't necessarily align with our quarterly reporting. That said, customer demand for our products continues to be very strong. Our industry is in the early stages of a multi-year growth cycle, driven by the AI infrastructure build-out and growing demand for high-speed optical connectivity. As such, we are on target to more than double our indium phosphide capacity in the second half of the year. In addition, we are making plans for continued growth and capacity expansion. We were very pleased to complete a capital raise in December and intend to use some of the proceeds to increase manufacturing capacity in anticipation of a multi-year trend in data center expansion. We believe we are uniquely positioned to serve the global market with industry-leading technology, an integrated supply chain, and world-class manufacturing capabilities.“ – Morris Young, Chief Executive Officer 23

Profitability
Operating income for the quarter was 10.4 million. Capital expenditures were 7.2 million, and free cash flow was 3.6 million. No extraordinary one-off items affecting the income statement are identified in the available inputs for this quarter.
Leverage
Cash at period-end was 412.2 million, compared with 120.3 million at the close of fiscal year 2025. No explicit net debt figure or net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio is stated in the available inputs for this quarter. The cash balance indicates a net cash position based on the reported level.
Management view
AXT presented at the 28th Annual Needham Growth Conference on January 14, 2026 23. An earnings announcement and conference call for quarterly results was scheduled for February 19, 2026 23. No raised revenue guidance or new customer announcements beyond the manufacturing capacity expansion are stated in the available inputs for this quarter.
Change
Fewer export permits for indium phosphide were issued by China's Ministry of Commerce, which led AXT to reduce Q4 2025 revenue guidance to $22.5-$23.5 million 23. Dual-use customers with military involvement were blocked from U.S. gallium arsenide exports due to permit restrictions, reducing addressable demand in that segment 26.

Revenue by Type (as of 2026-Q2 · USDm · 10/11)#

Revenue split by segment or product type, exactly as the company itself reports it. The basis is stated next to each value (3, 6 or 12 months); segment totals can deviate from group revenue (reconciliation/consolidation items). If the company changes its segment structure, older structures are kept in the expandable part. Rows in grey are no longer reported separately by the company; they show the last available figures and are never extrapolated.

Reported KPIs (as disclosed) (282)#

Figures the company discloses itself in addition to the standard financials; order intake, recurring revenue, user or unit counts, adjusted measures. These “story KPIs” usually slip through standard databases; here they are collected as reported, with no calculation of our own. Important: the definition comes from the company itself and can differ from firm to firm; period and source are stated next to every value.

Company-specific KPIs verbatim from the filings (English, as disclosed; not normalised). Balance-sheet and boilerplate items filtered.

FY2026

AXT Inc. revenue increased to 26.9 million in Q1 2026 and 47.6 million in Q2 2026, up 77% from Q1 and 164% year-on-year in Q2 2026 34, as indium phosphide substrate shipments recovered following export permit approvals by China's Ministry of Commerce in June 2025 25. The company recorded a net loss of 1.6 million in Q1 2026 33 before returning to net income of 11.1 million, or 0.17 per diluted share, in Q2 2026 34. Two equity offerings, generating net proceeds of $93.9 million in December 2025 and $600.1 million in April 2026, substantially increased the company's cash balance, ending Q2 2026 at 412.2 million 26. Tongmei withdrew its STAR Market IPO application in July 2026, redirecting listing efforts toward the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and AXT raised its ownership stake in Tongmei to approximately 86.09% through an additional $6.0 million acquisition 26.

FY2025

AXT reported FY2025 consolidated revenue of $88.3 million, a decline of 11.2% from $99.4 million in fiscal 2024, with the full-year GAAP net loss widening to $21.3 million ($0.49 per share) from $11.6 million in the prior year 32. The year was shaped by two major trade-policy disruptions: China placed indium phosphide substrates on its export control list effective February 4, 2025, and U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports escalated to 100% by April 2025, reducing North American revenue to approximately 2% of total from 8% in 2024 24. Full-year GAAP gross margin declined to 12.7% from 24.0% in 2024, reaching a trough of negative 6.4% in Q1 before recovering to 22.3% in Q3 as gallium arsenide yield issues were addressed and indium phosphide export permits were obtained 24, 32. Indium phosphide revenues grew more than 250% sequentially in Q3 2025 after Tongmei received initial export permits for Europe and Japan on June 11, 2025 31, 21. In December 2025, the company completed an equity offering on Nasdaq that raised approximately $93.9 million in net proceeds, ending the year with cash of $120.3 million 24, 32.

FY2024

AXT Inc. grew full-year 2024 revenue 31.1% to $99.4 million from $75.8 million in 2023, driven by higher demand for indium phosphide, gallium arsenide, and germanium wafer substrates for data center, 5G infrastructure, and LED applications (18). GAAP gross margin improved to 24.0% from 17.6% in 2023, reflecting higher unit volumes spreading fixed costs and a favorable shift in product mix toward substrate products, which represented 68% of consolidated revenue (18). Despite the revenue and margin recovery, the company reported a GAAP operating loss of $14.8 million and a GAAP net loss of $11.6 million ($0.27 per diluted share) for the full year, with free cash flow of negative $17.9 million (17). The company entered the cell phone market in 2024 and continued to expand indium phosphide substrate sales for AI data center and optical transceiver applications (17). Subsidiary Tongmei's STAR Market IPO application remained pending regulatory approval throughout the year, while research and development expenses rose to $14.5 million from $12.1 million in 2023, primarily to support development of 8-inch GaAs and 6-inch InP wafer substrates (18).

FY2023

AXT Inc. reported fiscal year 2023 revenue of $75.8 million, a 46% decline from $141.1 million in 2022, driven by sharply lower demand for InP, GaAs, and Ge wafer substrates across data center, consumer, and telecommunications end markets 11. Revenue contracted sequentially in each of the first three quarters, reaching a trough of $17.4 million in Q3 2023, before recovering 18% sequentially to $20.4 million in Q4 8 10. Gross margin compressed to 17.6% for the full year from 36.9% in 2022 as lower unit volumes caused significant under-absorption of fixed manufacturing costs 11. The company recorded a GAAP operating loss of $21.6 million and a net loss of $17.9 million, compared to operating income of $12.6 million and net income of $15.8 million in 2022 11. China's imposition of export licensing requirements for gallium and germanium materials effective August 1, 2023 added regulatory complexity for the Tongmei subsidiary's substrate exports, while full-year operating cash flow turned positive at $3.4 million 11.
