Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Revenue was $481 million, an increase of 10% from $437 million in the first quarter of 2017 and an increase of 34% from $359 million in the second quarter of 2016 on a pro-forma basis.

Net income was $120.4 million, or $2.19 per diluted share, compared to net income of $65.1 million, or $1.18 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2017, and $9.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2016.

Non-GAAP net earnings, which exclude special charges and credits, were $77.7 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, compared to $70.0 million, or $1.27 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2017, and $38.7 million, or $0.72 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2016.

“We are very pleased with our continued progress in 2017 in achieving our objective of sustainable and profitable growth,” said Gerald Colella, Chief Executive Officer and President. Mr. Colella added, “This quarter, we set new records for quarterly revenue and Non-GAAP net earnings and our focus on integrating the Newport Corporation acquisition into our organization has produced both excellent results and new growth opportunities. We achieved our initial cost synergies ahead of plan, while also substantially improving the revenue growth profile and profitability of the Light and Motion Division.”

“We also continue to execute on our strategy to delever our balance sheet and significantly reduce our interest cost. I am pleased to report that as of June 30, the Company was in a net cash position. In addition, in early July, we completed our third successful re-pricing of our Term Loan and completed another $50 million voluntary pre-payment on our Term Loan facility, which brought our cumulative pre-payments to date to $250 million. Since origination on April 29, 2016, we have reduced our non-GAAP interest expense by $20 million or approximately 50% on an annualized basis,” said Seth Bagshaw, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Additional Financial Information

The Company had $577 million in cash and short-term investments as of June 30, 2017 and $573 million outstanding under its Term Loan (reduced to $523 million on July 11, 2017). During the second quarter of 2017, MKS paid a dividend of $9.5 million or $0.175 per diluted share.

In April, the Company completed the sale of its Data Analytics Solutions Business Unit and recognized a net after tax gain of $72 million in the second quarter.

Third Quarter 2017 Outlook

Based on current business levels, the Company expects that revenue in the third quarter of 2017 may range from $450 to $490 million.

At these volumes, GAAP net income could range from $1.12 to $1.37 per diluted share and non-GAAP net earnings could range from $1.32 to $1.56 per diluted share.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results

Non-GAAP amounts exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, an asset impairment, costs associated with completed and announced acquisitions, acquisition integration costs, restructuring charges, certain excess and obsolete inventory charges, fees and expenses related to re-pricing of our Term Loan, amortization of debt issuance costs, net proceeds from an insurance policy, costs associated with the sale of a business, the tax effect of a legal entity restructuring, other discrete tax benefits and charges, and the related tax effect of these adjustments. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). MKS’ management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors for comparing prior periods and analyzing ongoing business trends and operating results. Annualized GAAP interest expense based upon $780 million principal outstanding and using the LIBOR based interest rate spread in effect on April 29, 2016, was $44.0 million. Annualized GAAP interest expense based upon $523 million in principal currently outstanding and LIBOR plus 225 basis points would be $24.1 million. Pro-forma revenue amounts assume the acquisition of Newport Corporation had occurred as of the beginning of 2016.
