FQ3 was a record-breaking quarter with the highest QoQ revenue growth in company history; the CY26 Semi Systems revenue outlook was raised again and is expected to outgrow the market, AGS is growing >20% in CY26, and increased visibility supports another strong growth year in CY27. Footnote: CY26 refers to FQ2'26-FQ1'27, and FQ1'27 will be a 14-week quarter.
Faceted steel-blue background; oversized white 'CEO' and 'PERSPECTIVE' lettering on the left above yellow and navy diagonal ribbons; large white card on the right with four square-bullet points and two '»' sub-bullets.
A case study on how Applied uses AI internally: in R&D and services to create differentiated products, speed up development and build new service solutions; in operations to ramp faster, improve productivity and grow revenue faster than headcount. Tagline: AI investments accelerating revenue growth and operating profit margins.
White slide with blue title and a 'CASE STUDY' subtitle; two stacked horizontal bands, each with a photo on the left (cleanroom engineers; red autonomous robots) captioned by a dark label bar, and three bullets on a light-gray gradient on the right; bold blue takeaway line at the bottom.
Race 1, technology leadership: AI datacenter returns depend on tokens per second and energy use, and tokens-per-second-per-watt gains come from semiconductor and systems innovation. Race 2, capacity: demand for advanced chips far exceeds supply, and chipmakers are optimizing existing fabs while ramping new ones. Both races create opportunities for Applied.
Two-column comparison around a central infographic of two large curved arrows (blue on the left, burnt orange on the right) rising to meet at a shared peak; blue heading and bullets on the left, orange on the right; gray banner at the bottom with a bold blue conclusion.
Three pillars: leading-edge foundry/logic (new Centris Spectral SiN ALD), DRAM (enhanced Centura Prime epitaxy; Producer Avila 2 for higher-layer-count HBM) and advanced packaging (revenue expected to grow >70% in CY26; new Nokota VMax 2 plating, Opta Quad CMP and two eBeam systems). These segments drive ~80% of WFE growth.
Glowing blue circuit-board chip photo across the top; three equal white cards with blue header bars and bulleted text; gold 'NEW' seal badges beside the product launches; product names underlined as hyperlinks; bold white takeaway on a blue band at the bottom.
Advanced services: >37,000 chambers connected to AIx software, with AGS expected to grow >20% in CY26 and a mid-teens long-term CAGR. Process diagnostics and control: #1 in eBeam and expected to grow >50% in CY26. Output innovation products raise wafers per square foot, for example a new epitaxy system that uses 20% less cleanroom space.
Mirrors page 8 in burnt orange: a cleanroom fab photo fading into an orange gradient, three white cards with orange header bars, orange headline and bullet markers, and a bold white takeaway about output, yield and new-fab ramps at the bottom.
EPIC Center partners: founding partners Micron, Samsung, SK hynix and TSMC; innovation partners Advantest, Broadcom and SCREEN; research partners ASU, RPI, Stanford and UC Berkeley. That makes 11 announced EPIC engagements, with operations beginning in the fall.

The 35-page deck, dated August 13, 2026, opens with a cover, a forward-looking statements disclaimer and an event calendar. It then has a CEO section (AI strategy, the technology and capacity 'races', new products, EPIC Center partners) and a CFO section (non-GAAP results, segment charts, cash flow, Q4 guidance). Supporting slides cover the segment recast, capital allocation, balance sheet, ESG ratings and resources, followed by a Q&A divider and an 8-page GAAP-to-non-GAAP reconciliation appendix.
Page 15 shows record revenue of $9,115M (up 25% YoY and 15% QoQ), non-GAAP gross margin of 50.4%, operating income of $3,096M, operating margin of 34.0% and non-GAAP EPS of $3.50 (up 41% YoY). Semiconductor Systems revenue was $7,040M at a 38% operating margin, and AGS revenue was $1,781M at 30%. Free cash flow was $2,330M.
Page 18 guides to total revenue of about $10.250B ± $500M and non-GAAP EPS of about $4.02 ± $0.20. That includes Semiconductor Systems at ~$7.900B, AGS at ~$1.840B and Other at ~$510M, with a non-GAAP gross margin of ~50.4%, opex of ~$1.580B and a tax rate of ~11%. This is the company's own outlook, not investment advice.
It follows a classic earnings-call flow: disclaimer, CEO strategy narrative, CFO financials, guidance, then appendix. Useful techniques include highlighting the current quarter in a colored column beside YoY/QoQ deltas, using bar-plus-line combo charts to show revenue and margin together, repeating a section-summary template for the CEO and CFO, and putting dense reconciliations in a gray appendix so the main story stays clean.
It uses a corporate steel-blue palette with golden-yellow and navy diagonal ribbons, and burnt orange for 'capacity' content. Type is a clean white and gray sans-serif, content sits on white cards over a faceted blue background, and the cover image is a 3D circuit city. Gold 'NEW' badges mark product launches, and every slide shares a footer with the page number, 'Applied Materials External' and the logo.
The deck includes a six-metric results table with YoY/QoQ columns (page 15), two bar-and-line combo charts for the segments (page 16), five-quarter cash flow and balance sheet tables (pages 17 and 23), a grouped guidance table (page 18), a dividend-per-share bar chart for FY05-FY26 and a shares-outstanding bar chart for FY15-FY25 (page 22), and an ESG ratings table (page 24). It also has a split-arrow infographic comparing the two AI races (page 7).
Yes. The gallery page offers the original PDF and an editable PPTX. The PPTX was machine-converted from the PDF, so some fonts, charts and table spacing may need small adjustments before you reuse the slides as a template. The original deck is published on the Applied Materials investor relations site.
According to pages 3, 10 and 14, the EPIC Center is Applied Materials' R&D facility for co-innovation with customers and partners. Its founding partners are Micron, Samsung, SK hynix and TSMC; innovation partners are Advantest, Broadcom and SCREEN; and research partners are ASU, RPI, Stanford and UC Berkeley. The deck lists 11 announced engagements, operations starting in the fall, and an unveiling on October 12 in Sunnyvale, CA.
