Earnings were $0.49 per share on a diluted GAAP basis and $0.50 per share on a non-GAAP basis. PLAB's success is attributed to its advanced-node business and consistent demand for display masks, with a notable 44% of integrated circuit sales now coming from high-end IC revenue. The company's gross margin improved to 33%, benefiting from product mix and operating leverage, while operating cash flow reached $76 million, representing 35% of revenue.
