Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, including: Q4 revenue was $338.3 million, above the guidance range of $295 million to $325 million, driven by significant sequential growth in semiconductor equipment and data center computing; Q4 GAAP EPS from continuing operations was $0.27; and Q4 Non-GAAP EPS was $0.87, above the high end of the guidance range of $0.56 to $0.80.
