Vancouver-based nLIGHT, provider of high-power semiconductor and fiber lasers used in the industrial, microfabrication and aerospace and defense markets, reported financial results for the second quarter of 2019.
“Sales in our microfabrication end market increased following a slower first quarter and aerospace and defense again delivered strong year-over-year growth. Our differentiated technology in each of our end markets positions us well for the favorable long-term trends we see in the adoption of high-power laser-based solutions,” President and CEO Scott Keeney said in a statement. Highlights include:
Revenues of $48.0 million for the second quarter of 2019 were down 7.1% compared to $51.7 million for the second quarter of 2018.
