CYMER REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND 2010 OPERATING RESULTS

SAN DIEGO, Calif., February 2, 2011 - Cymer, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYMI), the world’s leading supplier of light sources used by chipmakers to create advanced semiconductor chips, today announced operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.

For the fourth quarter of 2010:

 

   

net income totaled $32.9 million, equal to $1.08 per share (diluted), compared to net income of $12.2 million, equal to $0.40 per share (diluted) in the fourth quarter of 2009 and net income of $20.9 million, equal to $0.70 per share (diluted), in the third quarter of 2010.

 

   

revenue totaled $146.9 million compared to revenue of $96.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, and revenue of $141.7 million in the third quarter of 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2010:

 

   

net income totaled $91.0 million equal to $3.02 per share (diluted), compared to net income of $12.0 million, equal to $0.40 per share (diluted) for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

   

revenue totaled $534.2 million compared to revenue of $307.7 million in the prior year.

Commenting on results, Bob Akins, Cymer’s chief executive officer, said, “2010 was a year of significant accomplishment and growth for Cymer. The demonstrated performance and reliability of our deep ultraviolet (DUV) light sources were instrumental in winning chipmaker selections and strengthened our competitive position. We also increased our OnPulse value and coverage, while adding advanced performance enhancements on ArF immersion and KrF sources. Our continued focus on operational execution and cost structure improvements, coupled with improved manufacturing absorption contributed to strong margin performance. During 2010, we shipped four extreme ultraviolet (EUV) 3100 sources and installed a second TCZ tool at a second Asian customer. I want to take this time to thank Cymer employees for their dedication and significant achievements in 2010. Their commitment to the success of our customers and their drive towards continued technology leadership further positions Cymer as the leader of lithography light source solutions and an innovator of display fabrication equipment.”

In the fourth quarter of 2010, the company shipped 35 light sources, of which 26 were ArF immersion, eight were KrF, and one was ArF dry, and the company installed 47 light sources at chipmaker locations. Gross profit was $78.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, yielding a 53.1 percent gross margin. Total operating expenses, which include research and development and selling and administrative expenses, were $40.9 million. Total operating income was $37.1 million or 25.3 percent of revenue. With the reinstatement of the R&D tax credit in late December, our full year effective tax rate was 25 percent, which resulted in a fourth quarter effective tax rate of 11 percent.

DUV bookings for the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled $153.2 million, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.04. Eighty-three percent of the DUV bookings in the fourth quarter were ArF immersion, 13 percent were KrF, and four percent were ArF dry. The company ended the quarter with a DUV backlog of $63.6 million, with ArF immersion light sources comprising approximately 80 percent of the value of sources in backlog.

For the full year 2010, the company shipped 124 light sources, of which 87 were ArF immersion, 35 were KrF, and two were ArF dry. The company reported gross profit of $272.8 million for the full year 2010, yielding a 51.1 percent gross margin. Total operating expenses for the year of $151.7 million includes research and development, selling and administrative and restructuring expenses. Total operating income was $121.1 million or 22.7 percent of revenue.

As of December 31, 2010, cash and investments totaled approximately $217 million, an increase of $31 million from December 31, 2009.

Company Outlook

Commenting on the outlook, Akins stated, “We believe we are well positioned for growth in 2011. Our attention to light source reliability, customer productivity, and cost of operations have resulted in several recent key light source selections from chipmakers, some of whom have recently announced significant increases to their 2011 capex plans. We believe this increase in capex investment will translate into continued growth as the year proceeds. We are continuing to invest in EUV and will be highly focused on the development of our EUV 3300 sources. In TCZ, we are focused on ramping our manufacturing capability to fulfill recently received orders.”

Based on information available at this time, Cymer is providing the following guidance for the first quarter of 2011:

 

   

Revenue to be approximately $150 million.

 

   

Gross margin to be approximately 50 percent.

 

   

R&D expenses to be approximately $27 million.

 

   

SG&A expenses to be approximately $16.5 million.

 

   

The effective tax rate to be approximately 22 percent.

Cymer’s management will hold a conference call at 2:00 pm (PST) today, February 2, 2011, to discuss fourth quarter and 2010 operating results and first quarter 2011 guidance. This press release, the conference call and accompanying slides may be accessed on the investor relations page of the company’s Web site at www.cymer.com.
