• Q3 net sales rose 22% year over year to $1.6 billion, adjusted EBITDA increased 36% to $503 million, and adjusted EPS climbed 55% to $1.46. Qnity raised its 2026 outlook, now forecasting $5.77–$5.83 billion in sales and adjusted EPS of $4.95–$5.05.
• Both segments posted their highest sales and adjusted EBITDA of the year: Semiconductor Technologies grew 15% and Interconnect Solutions grew 30% year over year. AI-related thermal management, advanced packaging, and AI PCBs are particularly strong; those three ICS platforms grew more than 50% in Q3.
• Management highlighted a growing base of process-of-record wins, including in 2-nanometer and HBM4 technologies, which can generate repeat business as production scales. Qnity is on pace to exceed last year’s record POR wins, while tracking more than 15 advanced fabs and expecting further capacity to come online.
• Adjusted gross margin improved to 47.8%, and management cited product mix and operational execution as drivers of progress toward its longer-term goal of margins above 50%. Adjusted free cash flow reached $607 million year to date, while net leverage stood at about 1.7 times.
• Management expects normal year-end seasonality and some customer inventory management, and noted that new fab capacity takes time to qualify and ramp. It expects Q1 sales to be modestly higher than Q4 based on historical patterns, but did not provide Q1 guidance.
