ESI Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2015 Results
PORTLAND, Ore. – October 30, 2014 – Electro Scientific Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:ESIO), the premier source for innovative laser-based manufacturing solutions for the microtechnology industry, today announced results for its fiscal 2015 second quarter ended September 27, 2014. Financial measures are provided on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis, which excludes the impact of purchase accounting, equity compensation, and other items.
Revenue in the second quarter was $42.9 million, compared to $35.0 million in the first quarter of 2015 and $59.6 million in the second quarter of last fiscal year. GAAP net loss was $6.2 million or $0.20 per share. Non-GAAP second quarter net loss was $4.9 million or $0.16 per share.
“Our second quarter reflected sequential growth in sales and gross profit, combined with sequentially lower operating expenses,” stated Ed Grady, president and CEO of ESI. “The result was a 40% decrease in our non-GAAP operating loss versus the prior quarter.”
Bookings for the second quarter were $43.0 million, compared to $47.3 million in the prior quarter. Grady continued, “Demand for our flex via drilling products remained strong, as did demand for after-sales service and support. In addition, we executed well against our milestones to set the foundation for growth and profitability, with the announcement and shipment of the first multi-unit order for our new mid-range platform with an internally-developed laser, and the securing of new agreements with industry-leading channel partners to extend our reach in Asia.”

GAAP gross margin was 36.8%. Non-GAAP gross margin was 37.7% compared to 39.5% in the prior quarter. Operating expenses were $21.3 million, down from $22.2 million in the prior quarter. On a non-GAAP basis operating expenses decreased to $20.4 million from $21.0 million last quarter. Non-GAAP operating loss was $4.2 million compared to $7.1 million in the first quarter.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
At quarter end, cash and investments were $98 million. The company used $3.8 million in cash from operations during the quarter and paid $2.4 million for the quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share. Inventories decreased by $4.6 million and trade receivables increased by $6.4 million on higher shipments.
Third Quarter 2015 Outlook
Based on recent order levels, ESI expects revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 to be around $40 million. Non-GAAP loss per share is expected to be $0.16 to $0.21.
Grady concluded, “We are changing our processes and approach in order to better connect our core competencies to large and growing markets. As we execute our plans to revitalize ESI we expect to begin seeing results over the next several quarters that will lead to top line growth and a return to profitability."
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.

ESI Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2015 Results
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.
