Overview Management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with its condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. Various sections of this MD&A contain forward-looking statements, all of which are presented based on current expectations, which may be adversely affected by uncertainties and risk factors (presented throughout this filing and in the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025), that may cause actual results to materially differ from these expectations. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. We sell substantially all of our photomasks to designers and manufacturers of IC and FPD electronic devices. Photomask technology is also being applied to the fabrication of other high-technology products including advanced packaging modules, micro-optical components for applications such as virtual reality/augmented reality and silicon photonics, micro-electronic mechanical systems (MEMS), and diverse nanotechnology applications. Our selling cycle is tightly interwoven with the development and release of new semiconductor and display designs and applications, particularly as they relate to the semiconductor industry’s migration to more advanced design nodes and fabrication processes. The demand for photomasks is primarily correlated with new product design activity and to a lesser extent scaling up of manufacturing of end products. Consequently, an increase in semiconductor or display sales does not always result in a corresponding increase in photomask sales. To the extent integrated circuit and flat panel display applications rely less on new design activity, it could result in a reduction in demand for photomasks. In addition, new design methodologies driving a reduction in complexity of photomasks could also reduce demand for photomasks ‒ even if the demand for semiconductors and FPDs increases. More broadly, advances in semiconductor, display, and photomask design and production methods that shift the burden of achieving device performance away from lithography could also reduce the demand for photomasks. While there is no indication today that such diminishing of long-range photomask demand is occurring or will occur, the microelectronics industry has been volatile, experiencing periodic downturns and slowdowns in design activity. These negative trends have been characterized by, among other things, diminished product demand, excess production capacity, and accelerated erosion of selling prices with a concomitant effect on revenue and profitability. We are typically required to fulfill customer orders within a short period of time, sometimes within twenty-four hours. This results in a minimal level of backlog orders, typically one to two weeks of backlog for IC photomasks and two to three weeks of backlog for FPD photomasks. However, the demand for some IC photomasks can extend longer than the traditional time period; thus, for some products, our backlog can expand to as long as two to three months. The global semiconductor and FPD industries are driven by end markets which have broad application in the global economy including but not limited to consumer-driven applications, data centers that support AI implementation, electric vehicles and national security. While we cannot predict the timing of the industry’s transition to volume production of next-generation technology nodes, or the timing of up and down-cycles with precise accuracy, we believe that such transitions and cycles will continue into the future, beneficially and adversely affecting our business, financial condition, and operating results as they occur. We believe our ability to remain successful in these environments is dependent upon the achievement of our goals of being a service and technology leader and efficient solutions supplier, which we believe should enable us to continually reinvest in our global infrastructure. We are focused on improving our competitiveness by advancing our technology and reducing costs and, in connection therewith, have invested and plan to continue to invest in manufacturing equipment to serve both the high-end and mainstream photomask markets. As we face challenges that require us to make significant improvements in our competitiveness, we continue to implement programs to streamline, drive efficiency and reduce costs in our infrastructure. State-of-the-art production for semiconductor masks is considered to be 4 or 5 nanometer and smaller including EUV lithography for ICs and Generation 8.6 AMOLED display-based process technologies for FPDs. However, we define our high-end product category as 28nm and below for semiconductors and Generation 10.5 plus, Generation 6 and 8 AMOLED and LTPS for displays. This is consistent with current merchant mask industry definitions. Moreover, design nodes above 28nm and FPD processes for standard LCD displays below Generation 10 are considered mainstream or standard products. At these geometries and various high-end nodes, we can produce full lines of photomasks, and there is no significant technology employed by our competitors that is not available to us. We expect advanced-generation designs to continue to move to production throughout fiscal 2026, and we believe we are well positioned to service an increasing volume of this business as a result of our investments in manufacturing processes and technology in the regions where our customers are located. 26 Table of Contents The photomask industry has been and is expected to continue to be characterized by technological change and evolving industry standards. In order to remain competitive, we will be required to continually anticipate, respond to, and utilize changing technologies. In particular, we believe that, as semiconductor geometries continue to become smaller and/or more complex, and display designs become larger or otherwise more advanced, we will be required to manufacture even more complex products, including photomasks with advanced optical proximity correction, insertion of curvilinear patterning and EUV photomasks. Additionally, demand for photomasks has been, and could in the future be, adversely affected by changes in high-performance electronics fabrication methods that affect the type or quantity of photomasks used, such as changes in semiconductor demand that favor programmable IC devices and other approaches that replace application-specific ICs, or the use of certain chip-stacking methodologies that lessen the emphasis on conventional lithography technology. Furthermore, increased market acceptance of alternative methods of transferring circuit designs onto semiconductor wafers could reduce or eliminate the need for photomasks in the production of semiconductors. Our revenues have benefited, and our costs, including depreciation, have been affected by the increased demand for high-end-technology photomasks that require more advanced manufacturing capabilities, but generally command higher ASPs. Our year-to-date capital expenditure payments were $93.4 million and $95.7 million in Q2 FY26 and Q2 FY25, respectively. Nonetheless, we intend to continue to make the required investments to support the technological and production requirements of our customers that we believe will continue to enable our growth. This includes investments to replace end-of-life mask-making equipment with higher-performing systems that better serve our customers. In support of this effort, we expect capital expenditure payments to be approximately $330 million in fiscal year 2026. The manufacture of photomasks for use in fabricating ICs, FPDs, and other related products built using comparable photomask-based process technologies has been, and continues to be, capital intensive. Our employees and our integrated global manufacturing network represent a significant portion of our fixed operating cost base. Should our revenue decrease as a result of a decrease in design releases from our customers, we may have excess or underutilized production capacity, which could significantly impact our operating margins, or result in write-offs from asset impairments. 27 Table of Contents Results of Operations All the following tabular comparisons, unless otherwise indicated, are for the three-month and six-month periods ended May 3, 2026 (Q2 FY26), February 1, 2026 (Q1 FY26) and May 4, 2025 (Q2 FY25).

Revenue in Q2 FY26 was $209.9 million, a decrease of 6.7% compared with Q1 FY26, primarily driven by lower demand in our IC business. Compared with Q2 FY25, revenue decreased 0.5%, primarily due to lower revenue in the Asia IC market partially offset by growth in our FPD business. IC revenue decreased $17.9 million or 10.8% in Q2 FY26 compared with Q1 FY26, and decreased $8.4 million or 5.4% compared with Q2 FY25, primarily due to delayed design releases. For the first six months of FY26, IC revenue increased $3.0 million or 1.0% compared with the first six months of FY25, primarily driven by increased global demand for high-end products. 29 Table of Contents FPD revenue increased $2.7 million or 4.4% in Q2 FY26 compared with Q1 FY26, and increased $7.3 million or 13.3% compared with Q2 FY25 primarily due to strong demand for high-end products in the Asia IT display market. For the first six months of FY26 FPD revenue increased $8.9 million or 7.9% compared with the first six months of FY25, primarily driven by the increased demand for both mainstream and high-end products.

Gross margin decreased to 31.3% in Q2 FY26 from 36.9% in Q2 FY25, primarily due to higher labor and benefits costs, material costs and manufacturing costs. Gross margin decreased to 33.2% for the first six months of FY26, compared with 36.3% for the first six months of FY25, primarily due to higher material costs, labor and benefits costs, and other manufacturing costs. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses were $20.8 million in Q2 FY26, compared with $21.3 million in Q1 FY26, and $18.1 million in Q2 FY25. Compared with Q1 FY26, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.6 million primarily due to lower labor and benefits costs. Compared with Q2 FY25, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.7 million primarily due to higher labor and benefits costs. For the first six months of FY26, selling, general and administrative expenses were $42.1 million compared with $37.2 million for the first six months of FY25. The increase of $4.9 million was primarily due to higher labor and benefits costs. Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses, which primarily consist of development and qualification efforts related to process technologies for high-end IC and FPD applications, were $2.8 million in Q1 FY26 and $4.1 million in Q2 FY25. The $0.2 million increase from Q1 FY26 was primarily due to increased qualification activities in Asia. The $1.3 million decrease from Q2 FY25 was primarily due to reduced development activities in the U.S. Research and development expenses were $5.4 million for the first six months of FY26, compared with $8.3 million for the first six months of FY25. The $2.9 million decrease was primarily due to reduced development activities in the U.S. Other Income (Expense), net ($ in millions) Q2 FY26 Q1 FY26 Q2 FY25 YTD FY26 YTD FY25 Foreign currency transactions impact, net $ 7.9 $ 12.9 $ (31.1 ) $ 20.7 $ (12.7 ) Interest expense (0.0 ) (0.0 ) (0.0 ) (0.0 ) (0.1 ) Interest income and other income, net 3.8 6.8 5.3 10.6 12.0 Other income (expense), net $ 11.7 $ 19.7 $ (25.8 ) $ 31.3 $ (0.8 ) Other Income decreased $8.0 million in Q2 FY26 compared with Q1 FY26 and increased $37.5 million compared with Q2 FY25, primarily due to foreign currency transaction gains and losses. These foreign currency impacts were primarily driven by fluctuations in the New Taiwan dollar and the South Korean won relative to the U.S. dollar. 30 Table of Contents Other Income increased by $32.1 million for the first six months of FY26 compared with the first six months of FY25, primarily due to foreign currency transaction gains and losses driven by favorable movements in the New Taiwan dollar and the South Korean won relative to the U.S. dollar. Income Tax Provision ($ in millions) Q2 FY26 Q1 FY26 Q2 FY25 YTD FY26 YTD FY25 Income tax provision $ 10.6 $ 14.4 $ 5.7 $ 25.0 $ 24.6 Effective income tax rate 19.7 % 19.3 % 19.1 % 19.4 % 23.0 % On December 15, 2022, the European Union (EU) Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Pillar Two Framework. The EU effective dates were January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the directive. A significant number of other countries continue to implement similar legislation with varying effective dates. The Company is currently subject to Pillar Two, but we estimate that the financial impact is currently immaterial. We will continuously evaluate the potential impact of the Pillar Two Framework as future changes in legislation are enacted. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes significant changes to federal tax law and other regulatory provisions that may impact the Company. As the legislation enacted applies to tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, the impacts are effective starting in FY26. The Company has evaluated applicable provisions of the OBBBA for FY26 and has included the estimated impacts within the FY26 provision. The effective income tax rate is sensitive to the jurisdictional mix of earnings. The effective income tax rate increased in Q2 FY26, compared with Q1 FY26, primarily due to an increase in foreign taxes as well as changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings. The effective income tax rate increased in Q2 FY26, compared with Q2 FY25, primarily due to an increase in foreign taxes as well as changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings. The effective income tax rate decrease in YTD FY26 compared with YTD FY25, is primarily due to an investment tax credit in a non-U.S. jurisdiction in FY26. Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $11.8 million in Q2 FY26, compared with $17.2 million in Q1 FY26; the decrease was the result of a reduction in net income at the Company’s Taiwan-based joint venture. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased by $3.5 million in Q2 FY26 from Q2 FY25, as a result of decreased net income at the Company’s China-based IC facility. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $29.1 million in YTD FY26, compared with $30.8 million in YTD FY25. The $1.7 million decrease was a result of decreased net income at the Company’s joint-venture operations. 31 Table of Contents Liquidity and Capital Resources Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash on hand and cash we generate from operations. Cash and cash equivalents were $511.5 million and $492.3 million as of May 3, 2026, and October 31, 2025, respectively. As of May 3, 2026, total cash and cash equivalents included $464.9 million held by foreign subsidiaries, including an aggregate of $389.2 million held by our joint ventures in Taiwan and China (consisting of $323.4 million held by our joint venture in Taiwan and $65.8 million held by our joint ventures in China). In addition, we currently have CNY 200 million or $25 million of borrowing capacity, at our discretion, in China to support local operations. This facility is subject to annual reviews and extensions with a current expiration date of July 31, 2026. As of May 3, 2026, PDMCX had no outstanding borrowings against the facility. We consolidate our joint venture entities and control the boards of directors of such entities. In addition, we possess sufficient voting rights under the applicable joint venture agreements to approve dividend distributions through the ordinary governance process. Cash dividend declarations by our joint ventures do not require supermajority approval and cannot be blocked by minority shareholders. Accordingly, we believe the governance structure of our joint venture entities does not restrict our ability to cause distributions to be made from such entities. Transfers of funds from China are subject to the procedures and requirements of China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange, as well as applicable withholding taxes and other local compliance requirements. However, we believe that these considerations primarily affect the timing, administrative process, and net proceeds associated with distributions rather than our ability to access the underlying cash balances. We continually evaluate alternatives for efficiently funding our capital expenditures and ongoing operations. These reviews may result in our engagement in a variety of investing and financing transactions, in the transfer of cash among subsidiaries, and/or the repatriation of cash to the U.S. The transfer of funds among subsidiaries could be subject to foreign withholding taxes; in certain jurisdictions, repatriation of these funds to the U.S. may subject them to U.S. state income taxes and/or local country withholding taxes. We believe that our liquidity, including available financing, is sufficient to meet our requirements through the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. Through the utilization of our existing liquidity, the cash we generate from operations and short-term investments, we plan to continue to invest in our business, with investments targeted to align with our customers’ technology road maps. In addition, we stand ready to invest in mergers, acquisitions, or strategic partnerships, should a suitable opportunity arise. We estimate our capital expenditures for fiscal year 2026 will be approximately $330 million mainly in Asia and the U.S.; these investments will be targeted towards high-end and mainstream capacity that will increase the operating capability and efficiency, and enable us to support our customers’ near-term demands. As of May 3, 2026, we had outstanding capital commitments of approximately $172.0 million and accrued liabilities related to capital equipment purchases of approximately $39.3 million. Although payment timing could vary, primarily as a result of the timing of tool delivery, installation and testing, we currently estimate that we will fund $199.0 million of our total $211.3 million committed and recognized obligations for capital expenditures over the next twelve months. On August 28, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized an increase to the Company’s existing share repurchase program from the remaining $31.7 million to $100 million. In June 2025, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $25 million of share repurchases. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 5.0 million shares for $97.4 million. During the three-month and six-month periods ended May 3, 2026, the Company did not repurchase any shares. As a result, $27.6 million remained available under this authorization as of May 3, 2026. Depending on market conditions, we may utilize some or the entire remaining approved amount to reacquire additional shares. As discussed in Note 6 – PDMCX Joint Venture of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, DNP, the noncontrolling interest in the Company’s China-based joint venture has, under certain circumstances, the right to put its interest in the joint venture to Photronics, or to purchase the Company’s interest in the joint venture. Under all such circumstances, the sale of DNP’s interest would be at its ownership percentage of the joint venture’s net book value, with closing to take place within three business days of obtaining required approvals and clearance. As of the date of issuance of this report, DNP had not indicated its intention to exercise this right. As of May 3, 2026, Photronics and DNP each had net investments in this joint venture of approximately $177.1 million. 32 Table of Contents Cash Flows ($ in millions) YTD FY26 YTD FY25 Net cash provided by operating activities $ 144.3 $ 109.9 Net cash used in investing activities $ (117.9 ) $ (80.8 ) Net cash used in financing activities $ (0.4 ) $ (95.1 ) Operating Activities: Net cash from operating activities reflects net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and the effects of changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $34.4 million in YTD FY26, compared with the same period of FY25, primarily due to the increased net income and positive changes in working capital. Investing Activities: Net cash flows used in investing activities increased by $37.0 million in YTD FY26, compared to the same period in FY25, primarily driven by an increase in purchases of short-term investments of $78.1 million, partially offset by $37.4 million increase in proceeds from maturities and sales of short-term investments. Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $94.7 million in YTD FY26, compared to the same period in FY25. This was primarily driven by a decrease in debt repayments of $18.0 million and common stock repurchases of $76.7 million. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances were negatively impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates in YTD FY26 by $6.7 million. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP Net Income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders are “non-GAAP financial measures” as such term is defined by Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission and may differ from similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The financial tables below reconcile Photronics, Inc. financial results under U.S. GAAP to our non-GAAP financial information. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items are useful for analysts and investors to evaluate the Company’s on-going performance because they enable a more meaningful comparison of historical results of the Company’s core business. These non-GAAP metrics are not a measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Net income (loss), Net income (loss) per share, or any other measure of consolidated results under U.S. GAAP. The items excluded from these non-GAAP metrics but included in the calculation of their closest U.S. GAAP equivalent, are significant components of the condensed consolidated statement of income and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance. 33 Table of Contents The following table reconciles U.S. GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders to the non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders for the indicated periods.
