In the third quarter of 2025, cash flow generated from operating activities was $139 million and investments in property and equipment, net, were $103 million.

Full Year 2025 Results Overview

Revenue for the full year of 2025 was $1.57 billion, representing 9% growth as compared to $1.44 billion in 2024.

Gross profit and operating profit for 2025 were $364 million and $194 million, respectively, and net profit was $220 million, reflecting $1.97 basic and $1.94 diluted earnings per share.

Business Outlook

The company guides revenue for the first quarter of 2026 to be $412 million, with an upward or downward range of 5%, reflecting revenue increase of 15% year-over-year.

Cap-Ex Investments for Growth

SiPho and SiGe demand continues to grow, and hence aligned with key customers, in addition to the previously announced and presently acting upon $650 million CapEx plans, the Company is further executing on an additional $270 million of equipment investment for SiPho capacity and next generation capabilities, resulting in a total of $920 million SiPho and SiGe investments. The Company targets installation and full qualification of the entirety of the CapEx to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026, enabling full starts commencing 2027. This total capacity is targeted to be greater than 5X of the fourth quarter 2025 annualized wafer shipment run-rate. Over 70% of the total SiPho capacity is either presently reserved or in the process of being reserved through 2028, firmly backed with customers' prepayments.    

Russell Ellwanger, Chief Executive Officer of Tower Semiconductor, said: "We ended 2025 having achieved our highest-ever quarterly revenue with a substantial increase in profitability. This was driven by a strong base where each of our key technology platforms provided growth, combined with exceptional performance and strong incremental margins of our market-leading SiPho platforms. We previously announced a $650 million CapEx investment, targeted to be fully qualified in the second half of 2026. Considering our market position, and the extremely high adoption rate of SiPho for 1.6T transceivers, for which Tower is the primary provider, we announce today an additional $270 million investment for the expansion of SiPho capacity and capability. The resultant of the $920 million total investment targets December 2026 SiPho wafer starts capacity greater than five times the actual fourth quarter 2025 SiPho wafer monthly shipments, with customer committed consumption."  

Ellwanger further added: "We remain focused on a value-driven growth strategy and are targeting sequential quarterly increases in revenue and profitability during 2026. Having moved strong customer partnerships into the next stage, namely deeply trust rooted technical alliances, we are redefining our business and financial landscape."

Capacity Agreement

In September 2023, Intel signed a contract with Tower to manufacture 300mm wafers for Tower's customers in Intel's New Mexico facility. Recently, Intel has expressed its intention not to perform under the agreement. The parties are presently in a mediation process. The flows which have been transferred, or were in the process of being transferred, were originally qualified in Tower's Fab7 in Japan. Customers are now being redirected to be supported by Fab7.
