ESI Announces Fiscal Second Quarter 2016 Results
 
PORTLAND, Ore. – October 28, 2015Electro Scientific Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:ESIO), an innovator in laser-based manufacturing solutions for the microtechnology industry, today announced results for its fiscal 2016 second quarter ended September 26, 2015. Financial measures are provided on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis, which excludes the impact of purchase accounting, equity compensation, restructuring and other items.
Second quarter revenue was $46.5 million, compared to $43.1 million in the first quarter of 2016 and $42.9 million in the second quarter of last fiscal year. GAAP net loss was $3.3 million or $0.10 per share. Non-GAAP net loss was $1.0 million or $0.03 per share.
“In the second quarter ESI took another step forward in our corporate turnaround as we grew our orders and revenues, increased gross margin, reduced expenses, improved earnings and generated positive operating cash flow and adjusted EBITDA,” stated Ed Grady, president and CEO of ESI. “We continue to see strong customer interest in our new products and received our first order for the recently-announced UltrusTM laser processing system from a leading semiconductor manufacturer.”
Bookings for the second quarter were $51.5 million, compared to $41.9 million in the prior quarter and $43.0 million last year. Grady continued, “Our flex circuit via drilling business generated its highest quarterly bookings in more than three years, including strong demand for our high-performance Gemstone product. We also won a multi-unit order for a new application with our Lumen series micromachining platform, which booked and shipped in the quarter.”



ESI Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results

GAAP gross margin was 39.6%. Non-GAAP gross margin was 40.6% compared to 36.6% in the prior quarter. Operating expenses on a GAAP basis were $21.4 million, down slightly from $21.5 million in the prior quarter. On a non-GAAP basis operating expenses decreased to $19.6 million from $19.9 million last quarter. Non-GAAP operating loss was $0.8 million compared to $4.1 million in the first quarter. Grady added, “We continue to make improvements in our cost structure as we shift resources to Asia and consolidate facilities."
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
At quarter end, cash and investments grew to $60 million, compared to $58 million last quarter. The company generated $2.2 million in cash from operations. Inventories increased by $0.8 million, total trade receivables decreased by $1.4 million, and accounts payable increased by $3.0 million.
Third Quarter 2016 Outlook
Based on current market conditions, revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 are expected to be in the mid-$40 million range. Non-GAAP loss per share is expected to be $0.05 to $0.10, and includes the incremental expense impact of an extra or 14th week in the company's fiscal third quarter.
Grady concluded, "In the past year we have built a broader product portfolio to address new segments of the PCB and micromachining markets. Customer reception to these products has been very positive and we are seeing multiple evaluations for our CornerStoneTM IC package drilling system and Lumen micromachining platform. However, slowing growth in China's industrial output and related global effects, near-term capital budget reductions, and the timing of product releases in the semiconductor and related packaging markets are having some impact on capacity needs in our base business and timing of adoption of new products. Although we expect some near-term bumpiness in our business, as we continue to manage our expenses carefully and drive our new products, we believe we are well positioned to capture market share and profitably grow our business."

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, or adjusted, 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.
