and results of operations, including the supply chain constraints we are experiencing as a result of the pandemic; economic, political and social conditions in the countries in which we,
our customers and our suppliers operate, including rising inflation and interest rates, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and global trade policies; disruption to our manufacturing facilities or
other operations, or the operations of our customers, due to natural catastrophic events, health epidemics or terrorism; ongoing changes in the technology industry, and the
semiconductor industry in particular, including future growth rates, pricing trends in end-markets, or changes in customer capital spending patterns; our ability to timely develop new
technologies and products that successfully anticipate or address changes in the semiconductor industry; our ability to maintain our technology advantage and protect our proprietary
rights; our ability to compete with new products introduced by our competitors; our ability to attract, onboard and retain key personnel; cybersecurity threats, cyber incidents
affecting our and our customers, suppliers and other service providers’ systems and networks and our and their ability to access critical information systems for daily business
operations; liability to our customers under indemnification provisions if our products fail to operate properly or contain defects or our customers are sued by third parties due to our
products; exposure to a highly concentrated customer base; availability and cost of the wide range of materials used in the production of our products; our ability to operate our
business in accordance with our business plan; legal, regulatory and tax environments in which we perform our operations and conduct our business and our ability to comply with
relevant laws and regulations; increasing attention to ESG Matters and the resulting costs, risks and impact on our business; our ability to pay interest and repay the principal of our
current indebtedness is dependent upon our ability to manage our business operations, our credit rating and the ongoing interest rate environment, among other factors; our ability or
the ability of our customers to obtain licenses for the sale of certain products or provision of certain services to customers in China, pursuant to regulations recently issued by the
Bureau of Industry and Security of the U.S. Department of Commerce, which could impact our business, financial condition and results of operations; instability in the global credit and
financial markets; our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations, or declining economic conditions in those countries where we conduct our business; changes in our effective

this press release, please refer to KLA Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022, and other subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. KLA Corporation assumes no obligation to, and does not currently intend to, update these forward-looking statements
Semiconductor Device Manufacturers Reducing Near-Term Capex Plans in Response to Market Conditions
The Semiconductor industry is facing a combination of factors, including inflation, a weakening global economy, and ongoing supply chain challenges. As a
result, semiconductor demand (particularly in Process Control and consumer markets) has been impacted, with memory device manufacturers and
foundry/logic customers taking steps to adjust factory utilizations and reduce capacity investment plans. Despite these near-term headwinds, semiconductor
producers continue to prioritize investments in R&D of next generation technologies.
Record Demand for KLA’s Reticle Inspection Portfolio Drives Strong Patterning Systems Growth in CY22
Patterning systems revenue grew 17% sequentially and was up 69% on a year-over-year basis driven by strong EUV mask shop inspection growth in 5nm and below applications, as
2 well as growth in mask shop and wafer fab applications in mature nodes. KLA’s reticle inspection business plays a critical role in quality control during manufacturing of both DUV
and EUV reticles, and ongoing monitoring to ensure reticle fidelity in high-volume wafer manufacturing. We expect KLA’s strong reticle inspection growth in CY22 to be reflected in
expanding market leadership in this key enabling market for advanced semiconductor technology development for future periods.
10 th Consecutive Quarter of Growth and Record Quarterly Revenue for Specialty Semiconductor Segment
KLA delivered record revenue and the 10th consecutive quarter of sequential growth in our Specialty Semiconductor Process segment. As we discussed at our June 2022 Investor
3 Day, KLA is intensifying our efforts in Advanced Packaging and Automotive electronics, leveraging the combined portfolios of both the Semiconductor Process Control and
Electronics, Packaging, and Components (EPC) groups. We are broadening our product portfolio and developing a comprehensive suite of products and technologies as part of a
portfolio of inspection systems and process tools designed to help Automotive customers achieve their zero-defect goals.
Services Business Delivers Consistent, Strong Growth in CY22, Demonstrating Durability and Resiliency
KLA Services business grew 14% year-over-year in Q4 and was up 15% on a full year basis in CY22, just above the 12% to 14% long-term revenue growth target. Services is driven by
4 our growing installed base, increasing customer adoption of long-term service agreements, and expansion of Service opportunities in the legacy nodes. KLA’s Services business is
unique in our industry for having nearly all our Service revenue generated from “Pure Services,” or service contracts and break-fix maintenance, and does not include other revenue
sources such as equipment upgrades or sales of refurbished equipment. This speaks to the durability and resiliency of Services revenue.
KLA Completes $3 Billion Accelerated Share Repurchase; Total Capital Returns Topped $5 Billion in CY22
The December quarter was another exceptional period from a capital returns perspective, as we completed the $3 billion Accelerated Share Repurchase component of the $6
5 billion share repurchase authorization announced in June. Total capital returns in the quarter were $539 million, comprised of $355 million in share repurchases and $184 million in
dividends paid. Total capital returns over the 12 months ended December 31 were $5.2 billion, or 173% of free cash flow, and included $4.5 billion in share repurchases and $689
million in dividends. We completed the $3 billion Accelerated Share Repurchase (ASR) announced late in Q2 of CY22.
