“Our financial performance for the first quarter of 2013 met our expectations as we continued to execute on our cost reduction initiatives while maintaining our focus on strengthening our positions at key customers,” noted Fusen Chen, Mattson Technology's president and chief executive officer. “We have sized the company for a return to profitability once industry demand improves, and with the recently closed credit facility we will be able to take further advantage of the improvement in customer demand that we anticipate in the second half of the year.”
First Quarter 2013 Financial Results
First quarter 2013 net sales of $20.2 million, essentially flat as compared to net sales of $20.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, but a decrease of $30.3 million, or 60 percent, compared to net sales $50.5 million in the first quarter of 2012 .
Gross margin in the first quarter of 2013 was lower at 22 percent as compared to the 34 percent gross margin reported in both the first and fourth quarters of 2012, but met expectations based on the unfavorable product mix that included a high composition of low-margin legacy dry strip systems.
Total operating expenses were $14.1 million for the first quarter of 2013, which represents a decrease of 10 percent and 22 percent as compared to the fourth and first quarters, respectively, of 2012. Excluding restructuring and other charges, non-GAAP operating expenses were $11.9 million in the first quarter of 2013, which represents a decrease of 7 percent and 32 percent decrease as compared to the fourth and first quarters, respectively, of 2012.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2013 was $9.5 million , or a $0.16 net loss per share. This compares to a net loss of $8.8 million, or a $0.15 net loss per share, in the fourth quarter of 2012, and a net loss of $1.1 million, or a $0.02 net loss per share, reported in the first quarter of 2012. Excluding restructuring and other charges, the non-GAAP net loss per share in the first quarter of 2013 was $0.12 as compared to a non-GAAP net loss per share of $0.10 in the fourth quarter of 2012 and a non-GAAP net loss per share of $0.01 in the fourth quarter of 2012.

On April 12, 2013, we entered into a credit agreement regarding a three-year $25 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, part of SVB Financial Group. Under the Credit Agreement, advances are available based on (i) the achievement of certain quarterly EBITDA levels, and (ii) a borrowing base formula equal to the sum of up to (a) 80 percent of eligible accounts receivable and advance billings and (b) 30 percent of eligible inventory, minus any reserves established by the bank. Upon closing, we borrowed $10 million under the Credit Agreement at an annual interest rate of 4.75 percent.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) results, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company's non-GAAP results for total operating expenses and net loss per share exclude amounts listed as restructuring and other charges in the accompanying tables. Management uses non-GAAP operating expenses and net income/loss per basic and diluted share to evaluate the Company's operating and financial results. The Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing business trends and comparing performance to prior periods, along with enhancing the investors' ability to view the Company's results from management's perspective. Restructuring and charges in the first quarter of 2013, fourth quarter of 2012, and first quarter of 2012 were $2.3 million, $3.1 million, and $0.7 million, respectively.
