For the December 2026 quarter KLA guided revenue of $4.7B +/- $200M, non-GAAP gross margin of 62.5% +/- 1%, GAAP diluted EPS of $1.41 +/- $0.11 and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.44 +/- $0.11, assuming Semi Process Control revenue roughly 60% Foundry/Logic and 40% Memory.
KLA's fiscal year ends on June 30, so fiscal 2027 runs from July 2026 to June 2027 and the July-September 2026 quarter is Q1 FY27. The previous deck in this series is KLA's Q4 FY26 earnings presentation.
It is the earnings slide presentation KLA published on its investor relations website alongside its Q1 FY27 results on October 28, 2026. It is shared here unmodified for reference and study.
Yes. The page offers the original PDF and a PPTX converted from it, so you can reuse layouts such as the KPI tiles, segment tables with donut gauges and the bond maturity chart. Converted files may need minor font and alignment touch-ups.
It uses a consistent deep-purple and cyan palette, big-number KPI tiles, color-coded arrow labels on segment tables, donut and column-line combo charts, purple tagline banners, and a clean appendix of boxed reconciliation tables.
The slides show $936M of share buybacks and $305M of dividends in the September quarter (capital returns of $1,240.9M), and $2.68B of buybacks plus $1.11B of dividends over the last twelve months.
