Tower Semiconductor Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results
 
Guiding Fourth Quarter 2025 Revenue to be Record $440 Million,
Citing Revenue Growth Across its Core Technologies

Investing an additional $300 Million in SiPho and SiGe Capacity Growth
and Next Generation Capabilities

MIGDAL HAEMEK, ISRAEL – November 10, 2025 – Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ/TASE: TSEM) reports today its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
 
Third Quarter of 2025 Results Overview
Revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $396 million, representing revenue growth of 6% quarter-over-quarter.
 
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2025 was $93 million, compared to $80 million in the second quarter of 2025.
 
Net profit for the third quarter of 2025 was $54 million, reflecting $0.48 basic and $0.47 diluted earnings per share. Second quarter of 2025 net profit was $47 million, reflecting $0.42 basic and $0.41 diluted earnings per share.

Cash flow generated from operating activities in the third quarter of 2025 was $139 million and investments in property and equipment, net, were $103 million. In the second quarter of 2025, cash flow generated from operating activities was $123 million and investments in property and equipment, net, were $111 million.



Business Outlook
The company guides revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 to be $440 million, with an upward or downward range of 5%, reflecting revenue increase of 14% year-over-year and 11% quarter-over-quarter.

Russell Ellwanger, Chief Executive Officer of Tower Semiconductor, stated: “We are in the best position, our core technologies - Power Management, Image Sensors and 65nm RF Mobile, – each demonstrating year over year revenue growth. This is an excellent foundation, on top of which our number one position in SiGe and SiPho technologies for optical transceivers, combined with data center surging demand, gives Tower a present and future pathway for unprecedented growth – both top and bottom line, given the accretive margins of these value-add solutions.”

Ellwanger added: “We are well underway with customer qualifications, further investing in Newport Beach Fab 3, and repurposing and investing in three additional fabs towards a new and rich SiPho as well as SiGe mix. The very initial step in ramping these added capacities is evidenced by the fourth quarter 2025 revenue guidance of a record of $440 million.”

Growth Investments
In support of the growth of the Company’s SiPho and SiGe business, the Company is allocating an additional $300 million investment for capacity growth and next generation capabilities. The additional investment includes Fab3 capacity expansion, whilst maintaining the fab at full utilization. Hence, the Company is extending its Newport Beach site lease, enabling up to an additional 3.5 years from the previous 2027 term, at an average of $24 million per year over the five-year period.

Tower Semiconductor will host an investor conference call today, Monday, November 10, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time (9:00 a.m. Central time, 8:00 a.m. Mountain time, 7:00 a.m. Pacific time and 5:00 p.m. Israel time) to discuss the Company’s financial results for the third quarter of 2025 and its business outlook.

as well as risk that certain countries will restrict doing business with Israeli companies, including imposing restrictions due to hostilities in Israel or political instability in the region that may continue or exacerbate, and other events beyond our control. Due to instability in neighboring states, Israel could be subject to additional political, economic, and military confines, and our Israeli facility’s operations could be materially adversely affected. Any current or future hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners, or a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A more complete discussion of risks and uncertainties that may affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements included in this release or which may otherwise affect our business is included under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company’s most recent filings on Forms 20-F and 6-K, as were filed with the SEC and the Israel Securities Authority.
