BEVERLY, Mass. — February 1, 2011—Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACLS) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2010. Net income for the quarter was $4.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, of which $0.02 was attributable to a one time tax benefit.  This compares to a net loss for the third quarter of 2010 of $6.3 million, or $0.06 per share. The Company reported fourth quarter revenue of $93.4 million, compared to $75.1 million for the third quarter of 2010, a 24.4% increase. The Company reported a 42.4% increase in systems revenues over the previous quarter. Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, were $45.9 million at December 31, 2010. The Company ended the quarter with working capital of $160.5 million.

 

For the full year 2010, the Company reported revenue of $275.2 million compared with $133.0 million in 2009. Net loss for the year was $17.6 million, or $0.17 per share.  In 2009, the Company reported a net loss of $77.5 million, or $0.75 per share, which included charges for restructuring of $5.5 million ($0.05 per share).

 

Commenting on the Company’s performance, Chairman and CEO Mary Puma said, “The Company performed exceptionally well during the quarter.  This marks the completion of a successful transition year for Axcelis. We executed against our strategy, returned to profitability, and achieved a steep increase in revenue and orders - putting us in a position of strength as we enter 2011.

 



 

She continued, “This performance is a clear reflection of the competitiveness of our product lines and the confidence our customers have in our systems’ enabling performance.  Customer wins during the quarter included several significant high volume orders for both ion implantation and dry strip at leading device manufacturers.  We continue to experience robust demand for our products, and anticipate market share gains.  Moving forward, we believe these accomplishments have laid the foundation for sustainable growth and profitability in the future.”
