FEI Reports Record Revenue and Earnings
Revenue of $211.1 million up 45% from Q2-2010
GAAP EPS of $0.62
HILLSBORO, Ore., August 2, 2011 - For the second quarter of 2011, FEI Company (NASDAQ: FEIC) reported record revenue and earnings for the third quarter in a row. Bookings were the highest for any second quarter in the company's history and the second-highest ever.
Revenue of $211.1 million was up 45% compared to $146.0 million in the second quarter of 2010 and up 7% from $197.0 million in the first quarter of 2011.
Net income was $26.1 million or $0.62 per diluted share, compared with $16.2 million or $0.40 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2010 and $22.3 million or $0.54 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2011.
The gross margin in the second quarter was 45.3%, compared with 41.0% in the second quarter of 2010 and 43.6% in the first quarter of 2011. Operating income was 17.3% of sales in the quarter, compared with 2.4% in the second quarter of 2010 and 16.2% in the first quarter of 2011.
Last year's second quarter results included $9.1 million of restructuring charges that reduced operating income, compared with restructuring charges of $0.8 million in this year's second quarter. The 2010 second quarter also included a net tax benefit of $13.5 million that increased net income, compared with tax expense in the latest quarter of $9.6 million.
For the second quarter of 2011, net bookings were $204.5 million, up 17% from the second quarter of 2010 and up 7% from the first quarter of 2011. The backlog at the end of the quarter was $459.1 million. The book-to-bill ratio for the quarter was 0.97 to 1.
Gross cash, investments and restricted cash at the end of the quarter was $471.3 million, an increase of $19.5 million during the quarter and $47.5 million since the end of 2010.
“We had another very good quarter, with revenue and earnings again at the highest level in our history,” said Don Kania, president and CEO of FEI. “Gross margins expanded as expected, and operating margins increased. Bookings remained strong with double-digit sequential growth in the Research and Industry and Electronics market segments. For the third quarter, we expect significant revenue growth compared with last year and a slight normal seasonal decline in revenue compared with the second quarter. We are projecting revenue growth of approximately 30% for 2011 over 2010.”
Bookings and revenue comparisons for the company's market segments and other data are included in the supplementary information attached to this release, along with detailed statements of operations and balance sheets.
Guidance for Q3 2011
FEI expects revenue in the third quarter of 2011 to be in the range of $195 million to $210 million. Bookings are expected to be in the range of $175 million to $195 million. GAAP earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.51 to $0.57.
