APPLIED MATERIALS DELIVERS STRONG THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

 

   

Net sales of $2.79 billion, up 11 percent year over year and down 3 percent sequentially

 

   

Q3 EPS of $0.36; Q3 non-GAAP EPS of $0.35

SANTA CLARA, Calif., August 24, 2011 — Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAT), the world’s leading supplier of manufacturing solutions for the semiconductor, display and solar industries, today reported results for its third quarter of fiscal 2011 ended July 31, 2011. Applied generated orders of $2.39 billion, net sales of $2.79 billion, operating income of $687 million, and net income of $476 million or $0.36 per share. Non-GAAP operating income was $683 million, and non-GAAP net income was $467 million or $0.35 per share.

“Applied delivered solid third quarter results, with earnings and revenue at the upper end of our expectations,” said Mike Splinter, chairman and chief executive officer. “While the fundamental drivers of our markets remain strong, we are seeing softness in our business resulting from the uncertain economic environment and overcapacity in solar.”

“Our cumulative net sales and non-GAAP earnings per share over the past four quarters have been the strongest in the company’s history,” said George Davis, chief financial officer. “In our most recent quarter, Applied generated nearly $600 million in operating cash flow and issued $1.75 billion in long-term debt to support the Varian acquisition.”

Fiscal Third Quarter Reportable Segment Results and Comparisons to the Prior Quarter

Silicon Systems Group (SSG) orders were $1.24 billion, down 28 percent primarily due to weaker demand in foundry. Net sales were $1.40 billion, down 4 percent. Operating income decreased to $452 million or 32 percent of net sales, reflecting the lower revenue. New order composition was: foundry 37 percent, logic and other 25 percent, flash 23 percent, and DRAM 15 percent.

Applied Global Services (AGS) orders were $613 million, up 2 percent. Net sales were $603 million, down 2 percent. Operating income increased by 61 percent to $146 million or 24 percent of net sales driven primarily by higher margins in 200 millimeter equipment as well as services.

Display orders were $220 million, down 14 percent due primarily to reduced demand from LCD TV customers. Net sales were $223 million, up 41 percent, and operating income increased to $58 million or 26 percent of net sales.

Energy and Environmental Solutions (EES) orders were $318 million, down 48 percent as customers digested record capital additions in recent quarters. Net sales were $563 million, down 12 percent. Operating income decreased to $123 million or 22 percent of net sales and included $3 million in asset impairment charges.

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, Applied expects net sales to be down in the range of 15 percent to 30 percent sequentially. The company expects non-GAAP EPS to be in the range of $0.16 to $0.24. The non-GAAP EPS outlook excludes known charges related to completed acquisitions of approximately $0.01 per share, but does not exclude other non-GAAP adjustments that may arise subsequent to this release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses non-GAAP results to evaluate the company’s operating and financial performance in light of business objectives and for planning purposes. These measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Applied believes these measures enhance investors’ ability to review the company’s business from the same perspective as the company’s management and facilitate comparisons of this period’s results with prior periods. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
