SemiLEDs Corporation (LEDS), “SemiLEDs” or the “Company,” a developer and manufacturer of LED chips and LED components, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, ended November 30, 2022.

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.7 million, compared to $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $512 thousand, compared to a loss of $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, or a net loss of $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.25 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was 27%, compared with gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 of 21%. Operating margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was negative 39%, compared with negative 66% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents was $4.5 million at November 30, 2022, compared to $4.3 million at the end of fiscal 2022.

We are unable to forecast revenue for the second quarter ending February 28, 2023 at this time given the uncertain impact of COVID-19 on the economy and the Company.
