For 2021, record sales totaled $92.8 million, growth of 32% year-over-year. Net income for the year was $12.8 million, up 124.6%.

Demand for our MRS-based products and WaferSense sensors is expected to remain strong for some time, making us optimistic about CyberOptics’ outlook for the first quarter of 2022. We also see the full year shaping up as another period of strong operating results.”
