Guidance from management

Management did not provide specific numerical guidance for future quarters but emphasized the need for improved equipment order flow and disciplined cost management to return to profitability.

What management said

Thank you, Rich. Our priorities are clear: serving our customers, supporting our employees, creating value for our shareholders and returning our core CVD equipment business to sustained profitability. Operator, we are now ready to open the line for questions.

What analysts pressed on

Analysts expressed concerns regarding the impact of geopolitical uncertainty and reduced government funding on order flow. There was also a focus on the slow conversion of RFQs into actual orders, raising questions about the company's future revenue potential.
