Certain statements contained in this presentation are not historical facts and may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “plans,” “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “designed,” and similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on ACM management’s current expectations and beliefs and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by the forward-looking statements. A description of certain of these risks, uncertainties and other matters can be found in filings ACM makes with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), all of which are available at www.sec.gov. Because forward- looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results and events may differ materially from results and events currently expected by ACM. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. ACM undertakes no obligation to publicly update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date hereof or to reflect any change in its expectations with regard to these forward-looking statements or the occurrence of unanticipated events. Market Data. Information presented below concerning ACM’s total addressable market presents a forecast based on information provided by Frost & Sullivan in its report “Global and China Semiconductor Equipment Market Research (June 2026)”. You are cautioned not to rely on or give undue weight to thisinformation. The Frost & Sullivan report represents research opinions or viewpoints that are prepared by Frost & Sullivan and are not representations of fact. The Frost & Sullivan report speaks as of the date of the report (and not as of the date of this presentation), and the opinions expressed in the Frost & Sullivan report are subject to change without notice. While ACM is not aware of any misstatements regarding the information provided in the Frost & Sullivan report, it has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of that information, which involves numerous assumptions and is subject to risks and uncertainties, as well as change based on various factors, that could cause results to differ materially from the forecast presented.

Note Regarding Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
