Net income for the first quarter of 2014 was $2.5 million, representing net income of $0.04 per diluted share. This compares to a net income of $2.5 million, or a $0.04 net income per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2013, and a net loss of $9.5 million, or a $0.16 net loss per share, in the first quarter of 2013.
In February 2014, Mattson completed a 14.1 million share public stock offering that raised approximately $31 million in net proceeds. As a result, working capital increased to $60.1 million.

“The first quarter of 2014 marked the third consecutive profitable quarter, on a non-GAAP basis, and exhibits our continuing commitment to maintaining a cost-effective operating structure,” noted Fusen Chen, Mattson Technology's President and Chief Executive Officer. “Further, our previously announced successes with the Millios millisecond anneal system and for new process applications with our paradigmE XP system demonstrate that investment in the success of our customers can be achieved while maintaining positive bottom line results.”

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2014 was $43.2 million, representing a $2.4 million, or 6 percent, increase compared to net revenue of $40.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and a $23.0 million or 113 percent, increase compared to net revenue of $20.2 million in the first quarter of 2013.
Gross margin in the first quarter of 2014 was approximately 34 percent, a 2 percentage point improvement compared to





approximately 32 percent gross margin reported in the fourth quarter of 2013, and a 12 point improvement compared to approximately 22 percent gross margin reported in the first quarter of 2013.

There were no restructuring and other charges in either the first quarter of 2014 or the fourth quarter of 2013. Restructuring and other charges in the first quarter of 2013 were $2.3 million.

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 other charges in the first quarter of 2014, fourth quarter of 2013, and first quarter of 2013 were zero, zero and $2.3 million, respectively.
