ESI Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results

Orders Increase 11% Sequentially

PORTLAND, Ore. – January 26, 2012 Electro Scientific Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:ESIO), a leading supplier of innovative laser-based manufacturing solutions for the microtechnology industry, today announced results for its fiscal 2012 third quarter ended December 31, 2011. Financial measures are provided on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, which excludes the impact of purchase accounting, equity compensation, restructuring charges, and non-recurring items.

Revenue in the third quarter was $49.8 million, compared to $81.9 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $67.2 million in the third quarter of last fiscal year. On a GAAP basis, net loss was $1.9 million or $0.07 per share, compared to income of $8.5 million or $0.29 per diluted share in the prior quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, third quarter net income was $0.5 million or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $9.3 million or $0.32 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and $5.9 million or $0.21 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

“We executed well in our third quarter, delivering non-GAAP financial results near breakeven and positive cash flow in very challenging market conditions,” stated Nick Konidaris, president and CEO of ESI.

Orders for the third quarter were $45.4 million, compared to $40.6 million in the prior quarter and $77.9 million in the corresponding quarter last year. Konidaris continued, “Orders increased sequentially but continued to reflect the relatively weak macro environment and overcapacity in many of our markets.”

Gross margin at 42.5% was down compared to last quarter and last year on lower sales volume. Operating expenses decreased sequentially by $0.3 million due to lower discretionary spending, partially offset by $0.9 million of restructuring charges. Non-GAAP operating expenses decreased by $1.1 million to $22.2 million. Non-GAAP operating loss was $0.5 million compared to income of $13.1 million in the second quarter.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

At quarter end, cash and investments including restricted cash grew to $227 million. Cash flow from operations was $1.4 million during the third quarter.

Quarterly Dividend Initiated

On December 13, 2011 the company announced that its Board of Directors had initiated a quarterly dividend. It authorized a cash dividend of $0.08 per share, payable on February 17, 2012 to shareholders of record on January 27, 2012.

Fourth Quarter 2012 Outlook

Based on recent order levels, ESI expects revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 to be in the mid-$40 million range. Fourth quarter non-GAAP loss per share is expected to be $0.05 to $0.10.

Konidaris concluded, “Looking forward, we are focused on qualifying new products, winning opportunities in consumer electronics, and managing our cost structure consistent with current business levels. We remain committed to our goals of expanding our addressable market and driving shareholder value with innovations and breakthrough technologies that grow our top and bottom line.”

The company will hold a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. ET. The session will include a review of the financial results, operational performance and business outlook, and also a question and answer period.

The conference call can be accessed by calling 888-419-5570 (domestic participants) or 617-896-9871 (international participants). The conference ID number is 50336551. A live audio webcast can be accessed at www.esi.com. Upon completion of the call, an audio replay will be accessible through February 5, 2012, at 888-286-8010 (domestic participants) or 617-801-6888 (international participants), passcode 79943740. The webcast will be available on ESI’s website for one year.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, we have presented financial measures which have not been determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are therefore non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of purchase accounting, equity compensation, restructuring charges and other non-recurring items. We believe that this presentation of non-GAAP financial measures allows investors to better assess the company’s operating performance by comparing it to prior periods on a more consistent basis. We have included a reconciliation of various non-GAAP financial measures to those measures reported in accordance with GAAP. Because our calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, investors should be careful when comparing our non-GAAP financial measures to those of other companies.
