Description: KLIC Kulicke Soffa Industries January 15, 2026
Kulicke & Soffa Industries (KLIC) designs, manufactures and sells semiconductor assembly equipment and consumables across a global footprint that includes China, the United States, Taiwan, Malaysia, Japan, the Philippines, Korea and Hong Kong. Its product portfolio is organized into four segments – Ball Bonding Equipment, Wedge Bonding Equipment, Advanced Solutions, and After-market Products & Services (APS) – and serves integrated device manufacturers, outsourced assembly & test providers, foundries, and automotive electronics suppliers.
Key operating metrics from FY 2023 show revenue of $1.03 billion, a gross margin of 38 %, and an operating cash-flow conversion of 85 % of earnings, indicating a strong cash-generating business despite the cyclical nature of semiconductor equipment demand.
The segment most exposed to macro-driven growth is Advanced Solutions, which benefits from the accelerating rollout of high-bandwidth 5G smartphones and the expanding power-semiconductor market for electric vehicles – both of which are being bolstered by the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act and comparable incentives in the Asia-Pacific region.
Conversely, the Ball-Bonding segment remains sensitive to fluctuations in Chinese fab capacity utilization, a factor that can compress pricing when regional policy shifts affect export controls on semiconductor tooling.
