outgrow the broader equipment market, and KLA’s strong competitive positioning J.P. Morgan Securities LLC

is driving further gains in market share, extending its dominant lead. Total wafer

fab equipment (WFE, on Gartner’s full-equipment basis) grew ~11% to ~$124.5B

in CY25, while the process control market (inspection and measurement) grew

~17% to $16.5B, continuing the multi-year trend of process control outpacing

WFE (+12% growth in CY24 exceeded overall WFE growth of +9%). As we have

noted previously, next-gen manufacturing technologies in advanced logic/

foundry/memory are driving smaller geometries, more layers, new materials, more

EUV lithography layers, and the migration to gate-all-around/CFET, backside

power, HBM and 2.5D/3D advanced packaging, all of which raise yield and

manufacturability challenges and drive the need for more/better process control,
