Operating Expense Breakdown
Details core costs like R&D, marketing, and admin, offering insight into how efficiently the company runs and where it’s prioritizing investment.R&D is being ramped materially faster than SG&A, reflecting a deliberate push to fund process‑control and advanced‑packaging product leadership, while SG&A growth funds scaling of service/installation capacity. Management admits operating expenses ran above plan and expects modest sequential increases, viewing the spend as a short‑term margin headwind in exchange for market‑share gains and backlog conversion. The key watch: whether top‑line growth and gross‑margin recovery outpace these elevated expenses to restore operating leverage and free‑cash‑flow targets.
