FREMONT, Calif., Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ACM Research, Inc. (“ACM”) (NASDAQ: ACMR), a leading supplier of wafer processing solutions for semiconductor and advanced wafer-level packaging applications, today announces expectations for preliminary unaudited revenue and total shipments for the third quarter of 2024. Today’s release coincides with the as-scheduled release of unaudited financial results by ACM Research (Shanghai), Inc., ACM’s principal operating subsidiary (“ACM Shanghai”), to the Shanghai Stock Exchange website [ link to China Disclosure].

ACM will discuss its full financial results for the third quarter 2024 and its revenue outlook for the remainder of the year on its earnings call on Thursday, November 7, 2024, at 8 a.m. Eastern Time (9 p.m. China Time).

ACM announces the following:

• preliminary unaudited revenue for the third quarter of 2024 is expected to be in the range of $200 million to $203 million, which would represent year-to-year growth of 19% to 20%.
• preliminary total shipments are expected to be in the range of $245 million to $255 million, which would represent year-to-year growth of 15% to 19%.

Actual unaudited third quarter 2024 results are subject to the completion of ACM’s quarter end closing procedures and review by ACM’s independent registered public accounting firm.

ACM currently owns an 82.0% equity interest in ACM Shanghai, and a substantial majority of ACM’s consolidated revenue and net income is contributed by ACM Shanghai. The stand-alone financial results of ACM Shanghai are reported in RMB as prepared in accordance with Chinese generally accepted accounting principles, and those results will differ, potentially materially, from ACM’s consolidated revenue and net profit for the period, which will reflect additional financial and operational items and will be prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
