MKS Instruments Reports Q2 2012 Financial Results
Continued strong profitability and cash generation
Andover, Mass., July 25, 2012 — MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of technologies that enable advanced processes and improve productivity; today reports second quarter 2012 financial results.
Second Quarter Financial Results
Sales were $177.4 million, a decrease of 7% from $190.9 million in the first quarter of 2012, and a decrease of 21% from $224.5 million in the second quarter of 2011.
Second quarter net income was $18.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to net income of $22.8 million, or $0.43 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012, and $38.6 million, or $0.73 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011.
Non-GAAP net earnings, which exclude special charges, were $18.7 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to $22.9 million, or $0.43 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012, and $38.8 million, or $0.73 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011.
During the quarter, cash and investments, net of debt, increased by $38 million to $623 million. Also in the second quarter, the board of directors authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share which was paid on June 16th and the Company repurchased 44,000 shares for $1.2 million at an average price of $28.17 pursuant to the share repurchase program announced in July of 2011.
Leo Berlinghieri, Chief Executive Officer and President, said, “Since last quarter, global economic conditions have continued to be unsettled, and demand has softened across a number of our markets. So far this quarter, several semiconductor OEMs have indicated they are seeing a pause in capital spending, which began in the second quarter and which is continuing into the third quarter. When sales at our semiconductor OEM customers begin to slow, they adjust build rates and consume inventory, which can have a more pronounced and immediate impact on our sales to them.
“The pause in semiconductor capital spending and the impact of a slowdown of economic growth in other markets are expected to continue in the third quarter. Given current business levels, we anticipate that sales in the third quarter may range from $140 million to $160 million, and, at these volumes, our non-GAAP net earnings could range from $0.14 to $0.27 per share.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results
Non-GAAP net earnings and Non-GAAP net earnings per share amounts exclude discontinued operations, amortization of intangible assets, costs associated with acquisitions and disposition related charges, and certain adjustments to income taxes. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). MKS’ management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude discontinued operations and disposition related charges, amortization of intangible assets, costs associated with acquisitions, the related tax effect of any adjustments and income tax adjustments related to settlement of tax audits, is useful to investors for comparing prior periods and analyzing ongoing business trends and operating results.
