Recent Highlights

Announced several EPIC Center engagements with chipmakers and partners designed to dramatically reduce the time it takes to commercialize breakthrough technologies from early-stage research to full-scale manufacturing. These engagements build upon the previously announced partnership with Samsung Electronics.
- A new innovation partnership with TSMC to accelerate the development and commercialization of semiconductor technologies required for the next era of AI. Working together at Applied's EPIC Center in Silicon Valley, the companies will co-innovate to advance materials engineering, equipment innovation, and process integration technologies designed to deliver energy-efficient performance from the data center to the edge.
- Arizona State University (ASU), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and Stanford University will join Applied's EPIC Center as inaugural research partners, leveraging the synergy of academia and industry to accelerate energy‑efficient innovations for next‑generation AI chips.
- Advantest Corporation, a leading semiconductor test equipment supplier, will join Applied's EPIC platform as an innovation partner to strengthen the links between front-end manufacturing technologies and back-end testing of chips and packages, helping chipmakers bring new designs to market faster.
- A long-term collaboration agreement between Applied and SK hynix to accelerate the development and deployment of next-generation DRAM and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) essential for AI and high-performance computing. Engineers from both companies will work side-by-side at Applied's EPIC Center to advance innovation in materials, process integration and 3D advanced packaging as memory architectures move beyond current production nodes.
- Applied and Micron Technology are working to develop next-generation DRAM, HBM and NAND solutions that increase the energy-efficient performance of AI systems, bringing together advanced R&D capabilities from Applied's EPIC Center in Silicon Valley and Micron's state-of-the-art innovation center in Boise, Idaho.
Introduced chip-making systems designed to create the smallest atomic-scale features in 3D Gate-All-Around transistors for the world's most advanced logic chips. By controlling materials deposition with atomic-level precision, the technologies enable chipmakers to build faster and more power-efficient transistors at the scale required to sustain the pace of today's global AI infrastructure build-out.
- Precision™ Selective Nitride PECVD preserves integrity of shallow trench isolation, reducing parasitic capacitance and boosting chip performance-per-watt.
- Trillium™ ALD wraps silicon nanosheets with complex metal gate stacks that optimize transistors for a wide range of AI computing applications.
Entered into an agreement with ASMPT Limited to acquire its NEXX business, a leading supplier of large-area advanced packaging deposition equipment for the semiconductor industry. The addition of the NEXX team and products will broaden Applied's portfolio of panel-level advanced packaging technologies which are designed to enable chipmakers and systems companies to build larger-body AI accelerators for higher energy-efficient performance.
Received a 2026 Intel EPIC Supplier Award for Excellence in Technology Development.
Joined Synopsys and NVIDIA in a collaboration to advance AI and quantum chemistry R&D with accelerated materials modeling.
Increased the quarterly cash dividend by 15 percent, from $0.46 to $0.53 per share, marking nine consecutive years of dividend increases. With the increase, Applied has more than doubled its dividend per share from four years ago.

Business Outlook

Applied's total revenue and non-GAAP diluted EPS for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 are expected to be as follows:

	Q3 FY2026
(In millions, except per share amounts)
Total revenue	$	8,950	+/-	$	500
Non-GAAP diluted EPS	$	3.36	+/-	$	0.20

This outlook for non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes known charges related to completed acquisitions of $0.01 per share, includes the normalized tax benefit of share-based compensation of $0.01 per share and includes a net income tax benefit related to intra-entity intangible asset transfers of $0.04 per share, but does not reflect any items that are unknown at this time, such as any additional charges related to acquisitions or other non-operational or unusual items, as well as other tax-related items, which we are not able to predict without unreasonable efforts due to their inherent uncertainty.

Second Quarter Reportable Segment Information

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Applied provides investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are adjusted for the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, including, as applicable, certain items related to mergers and acquisitions; restructuring and severance charges and any associated adjustments; legal settlement charges; impairments of assets; gain or loss, dividends and impairments on strategic investments; certain income tax items; and other discrete adjustments. On a non-GAAP basis, the tax effect related to share-based compensation is recognized ratably over the fiscal year. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are provided in the financial tables included in this release.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company's operating and financial performance and for planning purposes, and as performance measures in its executive compensation program. Applied believes these measures enhance an overall understanding of its performance and investors' ability to review the company's business from the same perspective as the company's management, and facilitate comparisons of this period's results with prior periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of Applied's ongoing operating performance. There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and may exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Webcast Information

Applied Materials will discuss these results during an earnings call that begins at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time today. A live webcast and related slide presentation will be available at https://ir.appliedmaterials.com. A replay will be available on the website beginning at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time today.
