“Although business conditions remain challenging, Veeco executed well in the first quarter.  We achieved revenue at the high end of our guided range; expanded non-GAAP gross margin to nearly 42%, as well as exceeded expectations for adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share,” commented John R. Peeler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

 

“LED industry conditions remain weak. As we navigate this challenging environment, we are assessing our cost structure to align with the current business outlook while positioning the company for future growth.

 

“We are prioritizing investments in areas that offer meaningful growth. We’re focused on qualifying our Precision Surface Processing (“PSP”) systems for additional Advanced Packaging applications and have made progress in our customer engagements for Through Silicon Via (“TSV”) applications. We are also leveraging our expertise in Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (“MOCVD”) to capture emerging opportunities for Gallium-Nitride (“GaN”) based power devices and to strengthen our position for Arsenic Phosphide applications including automotive lighting. These efforts support our strategy to enhance growth and improve the stability of our revenue stream,” Mr. Peeler concluded.

 



 

Guidance and Outlook

 

The following guidance is provided for Veeco’s second quarter 2016:

 

·                  Revenue is expected to be in the range of $70 million to $83 million

·                  Adjusted EBITDA (loss) is expected to be in the range of ($6) million to breakeven

·                  GAAP earnings (loss) per share are expected to be in the range of ($0.59) to ($0.44)

·                  Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share are expected to be in the range of ($0.29) to ($0.14)

* The ‘with or without’ method is utilized to determine the income tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments.

 

This table includes financial measures adjusted for the impact of certain items; these financial measures are therefore not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These Non-GAAP financial measures exclude items such as: share-based compensation expense; charges relating to restructuring initiatives, non-cash asset impairments, certain other non-operating gains and losses, and acquisition-related items such as transaction costs, non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets, incremental transaction-related compensation, and the stepped-up cost of sales associated with the purchase accounting of acquired inventory.

 

These Non-GAAP financial measures may be different from Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. By excluding these items, Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to facilitate meaningful comparisons to historical operating results, competitors’ operating results, and estimates made by securities analysts. Management is evaluated on key performance metrics including adjusted EBITDA, which is used to determine management incentive compensation as well as forecast future periods. These Non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, similar Non-GAAP financial measures have historically been reported to investors; the inclusion of comparable numbers provides consistency in financial reporting. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the Non-GAAP financial measures used in this news release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
