Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Revenue was $487 million, a decrease of 15% from a record of $573 million in the second quarter of 2018 and an increase of $1 million from $486 million in the third quarter of 2017.

Net income was $93 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, compared to net income of $123 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018, and $76 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017.

Non-GAAP net earnings, which exclude special charges and credits, were $103 million, or $1.88 per diluted share, compared to $129 million, or $2.33 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018, and $86 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017.

Sales in the Vacuum and Analysis Division were $286 million, a decrease of 7% from the third quarter a year ago, primarily due to moderation in semiconductor capital equipment spending. Sales in the Light and Motion Division were $201 million, an increase of 13% from the prior year period.

Sales to semiconductor customers were $259 million, a decrease of 8% compared to the third quarter of 2017, and sales to Advanced Markets were $228 million, an increase of 11% compared to the third quarter of 2017.

“Despite the recent moderation in the semiconductor market, we are pleased with our strong financial results for the third quarter, reflecting our ability to manage through these cycles,” said Gerald Colella, Chief Executive Officer.  “Although we foresee the semiconductor market will continue to face headwinds in the near term, exiting the third quarter we have seen that our semiconductor business has been more steady and consistent.  We


are very optimistic on the long-term growth drivers within the semiconductor market.  Moreover, we have continued to diversify our markets, customers and product portfolio and are on target to grow our Advanced Markets more than two times faster than the overall market.

“The acquisition of Newport Corporation, which was completed two years ago, coupled with strong organic growth has continued to expand our portion of revenue from Advanced Markets,” said Seth Bagshaw, Chief Financial Officer. “In the past five years, we have grown our Advanced Market revenue from approximately $211 million in 2013 to approaching over $900 million in 2018.  Advanced Markets represented approximately 47% of consolidated revenue in the third quarter and year to date revenue increased almost 20% from the same period a year ago.”

Additional Financial Information

The Company had $620 million in cash and short-term investments and $348 million of Term Loan Debt as of September 30, 2018. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company repurchased 818 thousand shares for $75 million at an average price of $91.67 per share and paid a dividend of $10.9 million or $0.20 cents per diluted share.

Fourth Quarter 2018 Outlook

Based on current business levels, the Company expects that revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 could range from $420 to $460 million.

At these volumes, GAAP net income could range from $1.19 to $1.45 per diluted share and Non-GAAP net earnings could range from $1.38 to $1.64 per diluted share. This financial guidance incorporates assumptions made based upon the Company’s current interpretation of the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act and may change as additional clarification and implementation guidance is issued.
