Safe Harbor Statement

​

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to Veeco Instruments Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Veeco,” the “Company,” “Registrant,” “we,” “our,” or “us,” unless the context indicates otherwise) that are based on management’s expectations, estimates, projections, and assumptions. When used in this Report, the words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “scheduled,” “estimates,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Discussions containing such forward-looking statements may be found in Part I - Items 1, 2, and 3 hereof, as well as within this Report generally.

​

In addition, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on knowledge of current events and planned actions to be undertaken in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. All estimates and assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

​

Forward-looking statements in this discussion include, but are not limited to, those regarding anticipated growth and trends in our business and markets, industry outlooks and demand drivers, our investment and growth strategies, our development of new products and technologies, our business outlook for the current and future periods, and other statements that are not historical facts. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements include, without limitation, those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part 1, Item 1A of our 2024 Form 10-K, and the following:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

​

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

​

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Veeco have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 270 for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements as the interim information is an update of the information that was presented in Veeco’s most recent annual financial statements. For further information, refer to Veeco’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“2024 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

​

Veeco reports interim quarters on a 13-week basis ending on the last Sunday of each quarter. The fourth quarter always ends on the last day of the calendar year, December 31. The 2025 interim quarters end on March 30, June 29, and September 28, and the 2024 interim quarters end on March 31, June 30, and September 29. These interim quarters are reported as March 31, June 30, and September 30 in Veeco’s interim consolidated financial statements.

​

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from these estimates.

​

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

​

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). This amendment requires public entities annually to disclose consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and for income taxes paid. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of annual income tax disclosures. This authoritative guidance is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2025. The amendments require increased annual disclosures on current and comparable reporting periods presented in annual company filings. The resulting new annual disclosure requirements will be reflected in the Company’s 2025 report on Form 10-K.

​

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

​

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statements Expenses (Subtopic 220-40),” to improve income statement expenses disclosure. The standard requires more detailed information related to the types of expenses, including (among other items) the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included within each interim and annual income statement’s expense caption, as applicable. This authoritative guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively and will be effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 — Income Per Common Share

​

Basic income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares used to calculate basic income per share plus the weighted average number of common share equivalents outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding options to purchase common stock and share-based awards is considered in diluted income per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of performance share units is included in diluted income per common share if the performance targets have been achieved, or would have been achieved if the reporting date was the end of the contingency period. Finally, the Company includes the dilutive effect of shares issuable upon conversion of its Notes in the calculation of diluted income per share using the if-converted method. The Company has the option for the 2027 Notes to settle the conversion value in any combination of cash or shares, and as such, the maximum number of shares issuable are included in the dilutive share count if the effect would be dilutive. The Company must settle the principal amount of the 2029 Notes in cash, and has the option to settle any excess of the conversion value over the principal amount in any combination of cash or shares. As such, the Company only includes the excess shares that may be issuable above the principal amount of the 2029 Notes in the dilutive share count, if the effect would be dilutive.

​

The computations of basic and diluted income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

Note 3 — Assets

​

Investments

​

Short-term investments are generally classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, presented as a separate component of stockholders’ equity under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These securities may include U.S. treasuries, government agency securities, corporate debt, and commercial paper, all with maturities of greater than three months when

​

purchased. All realized gains and losses and unrealized losses resulting from declines in fair value that are other than temporary are included in “Other operating expense (income), net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

​

Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Veeco classifies certain assets based on the following fair value hierarchy:

​

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

​

Level 2: Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and

​

Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

​

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Veeco has evaluated the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and valuations as provided by third-party sources. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Contract Liabilities and Performance Obligations

​

Contract liabilities consist of unsatisfied performance obligations related to advanced payments received and billing in excess of revenue recognized.

​

This reduction in contract liabilities was offset in part by new billings for products and services which were unsatisfied performance obligations to customers and revenue had not yet been recognized as of March 31, 2025.

​

As of March 31, 2025, the Company has approximately $57.5 million of remaining performance obligations on contracts with an original estimated duration of one year or more, of which approximately 84% is expected to be recognized within one year, with the remaining amounts expected to be recognized between one to three years. The Company has elected to exclude disclosures regarding remaining performance obligations that have an original expected duration of one year or less.

​

2029 Notes

​

On May 19, 2023, the Company completed a private offering of $230.0 million of 2.875% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). The Company received net proceeds of approximately $223.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and fees and expenses payable by the Company.

The Company will settle any conversions of the 2029 Notes by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be converted, and paying or delivering either cash, shares of Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock at the Company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes being converted.

​

The 2027 Notes and 2029 Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) are unsecured senior obligations of Veeco and rank senior in right of payment to any of Veeco’s subordinated indebtedness; equal in right of payment to all of Veeco’s unsecured indebtedness that is not subordinated; effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of Veeco’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of Veeco’s subsidiaries.

​

The Company may redeem for cash, at its option, all or any portion of (i) the outstanding 2027 Notes at any time on or after June 6, 2024 and/or (ii) the outstanding 2029 Notes at any time on or after June 8, 2026, in each case, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, if the last reported sale price of the common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the applicable series of Notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the redemption notice. Upon the Company’s notice of redemption, holders may elect to convert their Notes based on the conversion rates and criteria outlined below.

​

The Notes are convertible at the option of the holders upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods as described below. The initial conversion rates are 71.5372 and 34.21852 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2027 Notes and 2029 Notes, respectively, representing initial effective conversion prices of $13.98 and $29.22 per share of common stock, respectively. The conversion rates may be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events.

​

Holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes, in multiples of one thousand dollar principal amount, at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding October 1, 2026, with respect to the 2027 Notes and February 1, 2029 with respect to the 2029 Notes, only under the following circumstances:

​

| (i) | During any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

​

| (ii) | During the five consecutive business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per one thousand dollar principal amount of Notes for

​

|  | each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Veeco’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

​

| (iii) | If the Company calls any or all of applicable series of the Notes for redemption at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or

​

| (iv) | Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

​

For the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2025, the last reported sales price of the common stock during the 30 consecutive trading days, based on the criteria outlined in (i) above, was greater than 130% of the conversion price of the 2027 Notes, and as such the 2027 Notes are convertible by the holders and callable by the Company until June 30, 2025.

​

Holders may convert their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances, on October 1, 2026 with respect to the 2027 Notes, and February 1, 2029 with respect to the 2029 Notes, until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the respective maturity date.

​

The Notes are recorded as a single unit within liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as the conversion features within the Notes are not derivatives that require bifurcation and the Notes do not involve a substantial premium. Transaction costs of $1.9 million, $3.1 million, and $6.8 million incurred in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes, and 2029 Notes, respectively, were recorded as direct deductions from the related debt liabilities and recognized as non-cash interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected terms of the Notes.

​

The carrying value of the 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes, and 2029 Notes are as follows:

Capped Call Transactions

​

In connection with the offering of the 2027 Notes, on May 13, 2020, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”), pursuant to capped call confirmations, covering the total principal amount of the 2027 Notes for an aggregate premium of $10.3 million. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the 2027 Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the aggregate principal amount of converted 2027 Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the capped price of the Capped Call Transactions. The Capped Call Transactions exercise price is equal to the initial conversion price of the 2027 Notes, and the capped price of the Capped Call Transactions is approximately $18.46 per share and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call confirmations.

​

The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the capped call counterparties, are not part of the terms of the 2027 Notes and do not change the holders’ rights under the 2027 Notes. Holders of the 2027 Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions. The cost of the Capped Call Transactions is not expected to be tax-deductible as the Company did not elect to integrate the Capped Call Transactions into the 2027 Notes for tax purposes. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2027 Notes to pay for the Capped Call Transactions, and the cost of the Capped Call Transactions was recorded as a reduction of the Company’s additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

​

Revolving Credit Facility

​

On December 16, 2021, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement providing for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $150 million (the “Credit Facility”), including a $15 million letter of credit sublimit. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company’s direct material U.S. subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company, subject to customary exceptions. The Credit Facility has a term of five years, maturing on December 16, 2026. Subject to certain conditions and the receipt of commitments from the lenders, the Loan and Security Agreement allows for revolving commitments under the Credit Facility to be increased by up to $75 million. The existing lenders under the Credit Facility are entitled, but not obligated, to provide such incremental commitments. On August 2, 2024, the Company obtained commitments from lenders to increase the Credit Facility by $75 million, and as such the total available under the revised Credit Facility is $225 million.

​

Borrowings will bear interest at a floating rate which can be, at the Company’s option, either (a) an alternate base rate plus an applicable rate ranging from 0.50% to 1.25% or (b) a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (with a floor of 0.00%) for the specified interest period plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.50% to 2.25%, in each case, depending on the Company’s Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement). The Company will pay an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% based on unused capacity under the Credit Facility and the Company’s Secured Net Leverage Ratio. The Company may use the proceeds of borrowings under the Credit Facility to pay transaction fees and expenses, provide for its working capital needs and reimburse drawings under letters of credit and for other general corporate purposes.

​

The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants for transactions of this type, including, among others, the provision of financial and other information to the administrative agent, notice to the administrative agent upon the occurrence of certain material events, preservation of existence, maintenance of properties and insurance, compliance with laws, including environmental laws, the provision of additional guarantees, and an affiliate transactions covenant, subject to certain exceptions. The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary negative covenants, including, among others, restrictions on the ability to merge and consolidate with other companies, incur indebtedness,

Note 8 — Income Taxes

​

Income taxes are estimated for each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as the tax effect of carryforwards. Realization of net deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income.

​

At the end of each interim reporting period, the effective tax rate is aligned with expectations for the full year. This estimate is used to determine the income tax provision on a year-to-date basis and may change in subsequent interim periods.

Income before income taxes and income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Three months ended March 31, |
​ |  | 2025 |  | 2024 |
​ | ​ | (in thousands, except percentages) |
Income before income taxes | ​ | $ | 14,984 | ​ | $ | 22,750 | ​
Income tax expense |  | $ | 3,037 |  | $ | 896 | ​
Effective tax rate |  | ​ | 20.27% |  | ​ | 3.94% | ​

​

The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $3.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

​

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the effective tax rate was in line with the U.S. statutory tax rate, which included a $1.5 million tax expense related to share-based compensation shortfalls, partially offset by tax benefits related to Foreign-Derived Intangible Income and research and development tax credits. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily relating to a discrete income tax benefit for share-based compensation windfall. Additionally, the effective tax rate was also favorably impacted by the tax benefits related to Foreign-Derived Intangible Income and research and development tax credits.

​

Note 9 — Segment Reporting and Geographic Information

​

The Company operates and measures its results in one operating segment and therefore has one reportable segment: the development, manufacture, sales, and support of semiconductor and thin film process equipment primarily sold to make electronic devices. The accounting policies of this one operating segment are the same as those described in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, assesses segment performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net income that is reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as total assets. The Company does not have intra-entity sales or transfers. The CODM uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or into other parts of the Company, such as for acquisitions. Net income is used to monitor forecast versus actual results. The CODM also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking the Company’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of forecasted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment. The Company regularly provides management reports to the CODM on a consolidated expense basis which includes actuals, forecasted, and budgeted information. These reports are similar to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

​

There are no additional expenses categories and amounts that meet the definition of significant expense items that are regularly provided to the CODM and included in the reported measure of net income.

​

Business Update

​

The Semiconductor industry has historically demonstrated cyclicality based on fluctuations in global chip demand and production capacity. Sales in the Semiconductor industry are estimated to have increased year-over-year in 2024 to around $650 billion. Looking ahead, industry analysts are forecasting long-term growth of the industry, driven by secular growth trends such as artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, mobile connectivity, and the electrification of the automotive industry. Additionally, government investments in the Semiconductor industry are projected to accelerate global spending in next-generation technologies.

​

Growth in the Semiconductor industry, coupled with increasing technological complexity of Semiconductor chips, are expected to drive long-term growth in WFE spending. In an effort to improve chip performance, optimize power consumption, and reduce costs, today’s most advanced Semiconductor manufacturers are shrinking device geometries, investing in more complex transistor designs such as Gate-All-Around and exploring 3D architectures. As a result, growth of the WFE market is forecasted to keep pace with long-term growth of the Semiconductor industry, which we believe should benefit semiconductor capital equipment providers, including Veeco.

​

Our strategy of investing in advanced logic and memory has enabled our Semiconductor business to outperform WFE growth for four consecutive years. Veeco’s technologies are at the forefront of enabling new technical innovations in the manufacture of high-performance AI chips and High-Bandwidth Memory (“HBM”). We continue to invest in new technologies to expand our SAM to a broad range of new applications.

​

While the long-term outlook of the Semiconductor industry remains favorable, recently enacted tariffs, foreign and domestic, have resulted in uncertainty across Veeco’s business. Recently enacted tariffs are currently causing some customers in China to delay shipments. The tariffs have also resulted in an increase in certain of our costs and those of our customers, and could impact future end market demand. Given the dynamic nature of the situation, we continue to evaluate the potential impacts to our business, and our team is working diligently with our suppliers and customers to assess, manage and mitigate the related impacts.

24

Table of Contents

Semiconductor revenue increased by 3% in the first quarter from the comparable prior year period, comprising 74% of total revenue. Growth was primarily driven by an increase in system shipments in Advanced Packaging, including wet processing systems to a leading foundry and HBM manufacturer, as well as lithography systems to IDM and OSAT customers.

​

Our laser annealing solutions continue to gain traction at advanced logic nodes, highlighted by recent order activity and new application wins. In 2024 and the first quarter of 2025, we received laser annealing orders from and shipped systems to leading-edge logic customers Gate-All-Around nodes. We also shipped and recognized revenue on our first NSA system to a leading logic customer in the fourth quarter of 2024. Recently, we announced our Laser Spike Annealing LSA system was named production tool of record for new applications at two leading-edge logic customers most advanced gate-all-around nodes. In the memory market, we continue to ship LSA systems to a Tier 1 customer for high volume production of HBM and advanced DRAM devices. While our growth strategy is predominately focused on advanced node logic and memory, LSA shipments to mature node customers increased in 2023 and 2024, predominantly driven by new greenfield fabs and capacity additions in China.

​

We have two next generation laser annealing systems under evaluation at Tier 1 foundry and logic customers. This next generation system, the NSA500, covers the nano-second annealing regime and complements our LSA product. This new system is part of our continued effort to enable our customers’ product roadmap by providing innovative annealing solutions. Nanosecond annealing provides Veeco with an opportunity to expand our laser annealing SAM for new advanced node logic and memory applications, including low thermal budget anneals for Gate-All-Around transistors and advanced 3D devices.

​

The ongoing adoption of EUV Lithography for advanced node semiconductor manufacturing continues to drive demand for our Ion Beam Deposition LDD system for mask blanks. Leading logic and memory customers expect EUV and High Numerical Aperture (“High-NA”) lithography to be integral to their future roadmaps, which our Ion Beam Deposition technology is a key enabler of. Our product roadmap is well positioned as the industry adopts next-generation High-NA EUV lithography, and we are expanding our EUV related business to new mask blank applications.

​

We also have two Ion Beam Deposition “IBD300” systems under evaluation at leading memory customers. Our IBD300 system provides Veeco with another opportunity to expand our SAM to advanced node applications where low resistance films are critical. These initial systems are being evaluated for advanced memory applications, such as DRAM bitline.

​

In Advanced Packaging, our Wet Processing systems are used for several applications, and we continue to see strong demand driven by Heterogenous Integration and 3D Packaging for AI. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we announced over $50 million in orders for our Wet Processing systems from a leading foundry, a HBM manufacturer, and OSATs driven by AI and high-performance computing. We also recently announced our wet processing systems were qualified by an IDM for two new applications, and the customer also placed initial orders for these applications. Both applications represent key Served Available Market expansion opportunities for our Wet Processing systems at separate Tier 1 customers.

​

Our Advanced Packaging lithography systems are used for packaging applications such as fan out wafer level packaging and other advanced packaging solutions. After two years of slow order activity driven by consumer markets, we’re seeing an increase in order activity from several customers. We also just announced over $35 million in orders for our lithography systems from an IDM and OSATs driven by AI and high-performance computing, and mobile.

​

Looking ahead, we anticipate seeing growth in leading-edge investment driven by new nodes and AI-related demand, including investment in Gate-All-Around nodes, High-Bandwidth Memory, and 3D packaging for AI. At the same time, engagement with customers in China has moderated, and we expect a decline in China revenue in 2025.

Veeco also serves customers in the Compound Semiconductor, Data Storage, and Scientific & Other markets. We address the Compound Semiconductor market with a broad portfolio of technologies, including Wet Processing, MOCVD, MBE and Ion Beam, for Power Electronics, Photonics, and 5G RF applications. Sales in the Compound Semiconductor market declined in the first quarter from the comparable prior year period. In GaN Power, emerging use

cases have driven some traditional silicon power electronics manufacturers to consider adoption of GaN at 300mm, and we have an evaluation system outstanding at a Tier 1 Power device customer. We are also seeing photonics opportunities in areas such as solar and MicroLEDs.

​

We address the Data Storage market with sales of our Ion Beam technology. Demand for our Ion Beam products is driven by demand for cloud-based storage. Revenue from our Data Storage declined in the first quarter from the comparable prior year period. Looking ahead, while customer utilizations are improving, they remain well below peak levels from a few years ago and customers are not investing to expand new system capacity in 2025 as they bring idle capacity back on line. As a result, we expect an approximate $60 to $70 million reduction in revenue in our Data Storage business in 2025.

​

Sales in the Scientific & Other market are largely driven by sales to governments, universities, and research institutions. We address the Scientific & Other market with several technologies, including MBE, ALD, MOCVD, Wet Processing, and IBD/IBE, which support scientific, optical coating and other applications, and sales in this market increased in the first quarter from the comparable prior year period.

* | Not meaningful

​

Sales decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 against the comparable prior year period driven by a decrease in sales in the Data Storage and Compound Semiconductor markets, partially offset by an increase in sales in the Semiconductor and Scientific & Other markets. By geography, sales decreased in the Rest of APAC and United States, partially offset by increased sales in the China and the EMEA regions. Sales in the Rest of APAC region for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included sales in Taiwan and Japan of $32.5 million, and $14.0 million respectively. Sales in the Rest of APAC region for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included sales in Japan and Taiwan of $32.9 million, and $19.3 million respectively. In light of the global nature of our business, we are impacted by conditions in the various countries in which we and our customers operate, including the recent tariff and trade dynamics which has caused some customers in China to delay shipments. We expect there will continue to be year-to-year variations in our future sales distribution across markets and geographies.

​

Gross Profit

​

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, gross profit decreased against the comparable prior period primarily due to a decrease in sales volume, as well as a decrease in gross margins. Gross margins decreased principally due to unfavorable product mix of sales. In addition to product mix and other factors that will cause our gross margins to fluctuate each period, we expect higher costs in future periods as we incur tariffs on imported materials from overseas suppliers, as well as higher costs from domestic suppliers incurring tariffs on their imports.

​

Research and Development

​

The markets we serve are characterized by continuous technological development and product innovation, and we invest in various research and development initiatives to maintain our competitive advantage and achieve our growth objectives. Research and development expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 against the comparable prior period primarily due to a decrease in personnel-related expenses as part of our continued initiative to manage costs.

​

Table of Contents

Selling, General, and Administrative

​

Selling, general, and administrative expenses remained consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2025 against the comparable prior period.

​

Amortization Expense

​

Amortization expense decreased compared to the comparable prior year period primarily due to the full impairment of the Epiluvac related intangibles in 2024, as well as changes in amortization expense to reflect expected cash flows of certain intangible assets, and certain other intangible assets becoming fully amortized.

Interest Income (Expense)

​

We recorded net interest income of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net interest income of $0.7 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to reduced interest expense on the 2025 Notes as they matured on January 15, 2025.

​

Income Taxes

​

At the end of each interim reporting period, we estimate the effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. This estimate is used to determine the income tax provision or benefit on a year-to-date basis and may change in subsequent interim periods.

​

Our tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $3.0 million, compared to $0.9 million of tax expense for the comparable prior period. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the effective tax rate was in line with the U.S. statutory tax rate, which included a $1.5 million tax expense related to share-based compensation shortfalls, partially offset by tax benefits related to Foreign-Derived Intangible Income and research and development tax credits. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily relating to discrete income tax benefit for share-based compensation windfall. Additionally, the effective tax rate was also favorably impacted by the tax benefits related to Foreign-Derived Intangible Income and research and development tax credits.

​

Liquidity and Capital Resources

​

Our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments are as follows:

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | March 31, | ​ | December 31,
​ |  | 2025 |  | 2024
​ | ​ | (in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents | ​ | $ | 174,898 | ​ | $ | 145,595
Restricted cash | ​ |  | 169 | ​ |  | 224
Short-term investments | ​ |  | 178,395 | ​ |  | 198,719
Total | ​ | $ | 353,462 | ​ | $ | 344,538

​

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents of $44.0 million and $45.1 million, respectively, were held outside the United States. As of March 31, 2025, we had $23.0 million of accumulated undistributed earnings generated by our non-U.S. subsidiaries for which the U.S. tax has previously been provided. Approximately $10.6 million of undistributed earnings will be subject to foreign withholding taxes if distributed back to the United States and we accrued $1.1 million for foreign withholding taxes for the undistributed earnings.

​

We believe that our projected cash flow from operations, combined with our cash and short-term investments, will be sufficient to meet our projected working capital requirements, contractual obligations, and other cash flow needs for the next twelve months, including scheduled principal and interest payments on our convertible senior notes, purchase commitments, and payments required under our operating leases.

​

Net cash provided by operating activities was $20.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and was due to net income of $11.9 million and adjustments for non-cash items of $16.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in cash flow from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $8.0 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were largely attributable to a decrease in contract liabilities and increases in accounts receivables, inventories, and contract assets, partially offset by a increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Convertible Senior Notes

​

We have $25.0 million outstanding principal balance of 3.75% convertible senior notes that bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, and mature on June 1, 2027, unless earlier purchased by the Company, redeemed, or converted. In addition, we have $230.0 million outstanding principal balance of 2.875% convertible senior notes that bear interest at a rate of 2.875% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, and mature on June 1, 2029, unless earlier purchased by the Company, redeemed, or converted. The 2027 Notes are currently convertible by noteholders and callable by the Company until June 30, 2025.

​

We believe that we have sufficient capital resources and cash flows from operations to support scheduled interest payments on this debt. In addition, on August 2, 2024, we increased the total funds available to us through our revolving credit facility from $150 million to $225 million. The Company has no immediate plans to draw down on the facility, which expires in December of 2026. Interest under the facility is variable based on the Company’s secured net leverage ratio and is expected to bear interest based on SOFR plus a range of 150 to 225 basis points, if drawn. There is a yearly commitment fee of 25 to 35 basis points, based on the Company’s secured net leverage ratio, charged on the unused portion of the Facility.

​

Additionally, on January 15, 2025, the $26.5 million of outstanding principal amount on our 2025 Notes matured and was settled through the issuance of 1,104,165 shares of the Company’s common stock to the noteholders. The shares were issued pursuant to the exemption in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the shares.

​

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

​

We have commitments under certain contractual arrangements to make future payments for goods and services. These contractual arrangements secure the rights to various assets and services to be used in the future in the normal course of business. We expect to fund these contractual arrangements with cash generated from operations in the normal course of business.

​

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

​

Interest Rate Risk

​

Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates primarily relates to our investment portfolio. We centrally manage our investment portfolios considering investment opportunities and risks, tax consequences, and overall financing strategies. Our investment portfolio includes fixed-income securities with a fair value of approximately $178.4 million at March 31, 2025. These securities are subject to interest rate risk and, based on our investment portfolio at March 31, 2025, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of the portfolio of $1.2 million. While an increase in interest rates may reduce the fair value of the investment portfolio, we will not realize the losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations unless the individual fixed-income securities are sold prior to recovery or the loss is determined to be other-than-temporary.

​

Currency Exchange Risk

​

We conduct business on a worldwide basis and, as such, a portion of our revenues, earnings, and net investments in foreign affiliates is exposed to changes in currency exchange rates. The economic impact of currency exchange rate movements is complex because such changes are often linked to variability in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions, and other factors. These changes, if material, could cause us to adjust our financing and operating strategies. Consequently, isolating the effect of changes in currency does not incorporate these other important economic factors.

​

Changes in currency exchange rates could affect our foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and forecasted cash flows. We may enter into monthly forward derivative contracts from time to time with the intent of

30

Table of Contents

mitigating a portion of this risk. We only use derivative financial instruments in the context of hedging and not for speculative purposes and have not historically designated our foreign exchange derivatives as hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value from these contracts are recorded as “Other, net” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We execute derivative transactions with highly rated financial institutions to mitigate counterparty risk.

​

Our net sales to customers located outside of the United States represented approximately 86% and 84% of our total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We expect that net sales to customers outside the United States will continue to represent a large percentage of our total net sales. Our sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar represented approximately 6% and 3% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

​

A 10% change in foreign exchange rates would have an immaterial impact on the consolidated results of operations since most of our sales outside the United States are denominated in U.S. dollars.

​

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

​

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

​

Our principal executive and financial officers have evaluated and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2025. The disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in this report filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

​

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

​

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, there were no changes in internal control that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect internal control over financial reporting.

​

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

​

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

​

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

​

Item 1A. Risk Factors

​

Information regarding risk factors appears in the Safe Harbor Statement at the beginning of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and in Part I — Item 1A of our 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed, except as follows:

​

Changes in U.S. and foreign trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences, could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

​

In February of 2025, the U.S. Government issued proclamations imposing a 25% tariff on imports of steel and aluminum products (including derivative products). In April 2025, the U.S. Government announced a baseline tariff of 10% on imported products from all countries, plus additional individualized reciprocal tariffs on countries with whom the United States has the largest trade deficits. In response, affected foreign countries, including China and members of the European Union, announced or threatened retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports. The tariff landscape continues to shift and evolve, creating considerable uncertainty for U.S. manufacturers, particularly those – such as Veeco – with global sales, supply chains and international operations.

31

Table of Contents

​

Tariffs and other duties have increased, and will likely continue to increase, the cost of our parts and components. These increased costs will negatively impact our margins and/or cause us to increase our prices to our customers, which may reduce demand for our products. Our customers, who may be confronted with the prospect of price and/or cost increases resulting from U.S. tariffs and tariffs imposed by their home country governments, may seek to cancel equipment orders with us, attempt to renegotiate terms in a manner unfavorable to Veeco, or cease to do business with us altogether. Furthermore, the current tariff landscape favors certain of our competitors with foreign manufacturing operations, which are not subject to U.S. tariffs nor foreign country tariffs imposed on the import of U.S. origin products.

​

The volatility and unpredictability of international trade policies and conditions add further complexity to our operations, making it extremely challenging to forecast and plan effectively. We are not able to predict future trade policy of the United States or of any foreign country in which we do business. The continuation or exacerbation of the current trade environment will adversely impact our costs and the demand for our products, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
