Danny Cheng's questions to AXT (AXTI) leadership

Question · Q1 2025

Danny Cheng asked for clarification on U.S. tariffs, questioning if semiconductor products should be exempt and who bears the cost. He also requested a quantification of the wireless HBT revenue opportunity and asked if the business was lost due to the recent production stumble.

Answer

Executive Tim Bettles explained that while products have some exemptions, they are not fully exempt from all tariffs, and the cost is handled on a case-by-case basis with customers. CEO Dr. Morris Young added that the company has plans to navigate the tariff issue. Dr. Young also clarified that the HBT opportunity is with one large customer, is not lost, and represents a little more than $1 million per quarter.
