ESI Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2013 Results

Revenues Increase 36% Sequentially

PORTLAND, Ore. – October 25, 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 2013 second quarter ended September 29, 2012. Financial measures are provided on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.

Revenue in the second quarter was $80.2 million, compared to $59.0 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $81.9 million in the second quarter of last fiscal year. On a GAAP basis, net income was $5.2 million or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $0.9 million or $0.03 per share in the prior quarter and income of $8.5 million or $0.29 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. On a non-GAAP basis, second quarter net income was $7.0 million or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to income of $1.9 million or $0.06 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and income of $9.3 million or $0.32 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

“We delivered strong sequential growth in revenues and profitability, as we shipped most of the large microfabrication orders received in the June quarter,” stated Nick Konidaris, president and CEO of ESI. “Our Singapore factory shipped a record number of units, enabling us to meet customer commitments and driving solid operating margins.”

Net orders for the second quarter were $35.0 million, compared to $74.1 million in the prior quarter. Konidaris continued, “The order rate reflects the variability of our advanced microfabrication business, following the large design wins last quarter. However, overall microfabrication orders are up from last year for both the quarter and year to date.”

GAAP gross margin was 41.8%, up from 40.1% last quarter. Non-GAAP gross margin was 42.8% compared to 41.0% in the prior quarter. GAAP operating expenses were essentially flat, while non-GAAP operating expenses increased by $2.2 million due to higher variable expenses, the addition of Eolite and continued investment in our growth initiatives. Non-GAAP operating income was $10.5 million, or 13.1% of sales, compared to $2.7 million, or 4.5% of sales, in the first quarter.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

At quarter end, cash and investments including restricted cash totaled $205 million. The company used approximately $11 million in operating cash during the quarter. Inventories increased by $9 million and receivables increased by $30 million, directly related to the timing of shipments in the quarter, yielding a DSO of 66 days.

Third Quarter 2013 Outlook

Based on recent order levels, ESI expects revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 to be around $40 million. Non-GAAP loss per share is expected to be $0.00 to $0.05.

Konidaris concluded, “Although overall market conditions remain weak, we continue to see a full funnel of microfabrication opportunities, and we are optimistic about our growth initiatives in the longer term. Our team remains focused on disciplined execution, improving productivity and quality, and meeting customer commitments.”

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 800-230-1093 (domestic) or 612-288-0329 (international). The conference ID number is 266829. A live audio webcast can be accessed at www.esi.com. Upon completion of the call, an audio replay will be accessible through November 5, 2012, at 800-475-6701 (domestic) or 320-365-3844 (international), passcode 266829. 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 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.
