Discontinuation of specific DRAM chips by suppliers has caused a dramatic price increase, forcing KLA into higher purchase commitments. The company explicitly states this will adversely impact gross margin, creating a need for supply chain visibility, component lifecycle management, and cost optimization solutions.
Filing excerpt
