ESI Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results

Revenues Increase to $82 million

PORTLAND, Ore. – October 26, 2011 Electro Scientific Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:ESIO), a leading supplier of innovative laser-based manufacturing solutions for the microtechnology industry, today announced results for its fiscal 2012 second quarter ended October 1, 2011. Financial measures are provided on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, which excludes the impact of purchase accounting, equity compensation and non-recurring items.

Revenue in the second quarter was $81.9 million, compared to $77.0 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $59.6 million in the second quarter of last fiscal year. On a GAAP basis, net income was $8.5 million or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $5.9 million or $0.20 per diluted share in the prior quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, second quarter net income was $9.3 million or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $7.9 million or $0.27 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and $2.9 million or $0.10 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

“We delivered another quarter of strong sales and earnings growth,” stated Nick Konidaris, president and CEO of ESI. “Year over year, sales grew 37% and non-GAAP earnings per share more than tripled.”

Orders for the second quarter were $40.6 million, compared to $98.9 million in the prior quarter and $70.2 million in the corresponding quarter last year. Konidaris continued, “Following near-record order levels in the first quarter, orders declined due to lumpiness in our micromachining business and deferred capacity additions in DRAM, LED and passive components due to concerns over the economic environment. Although visibility is limited, we expect customer activity to increase in the third quarter.”

Gross margin at 44% was flat with last quarter and last year. Operating expenses decreased sequentially by $2.7 million primarily due to lower stock compensation. Non-GAAP operating expenses increased slightly, from $23.1 million to $23.4 million, but decreased as a percent of sales. Non-GAAP operating income was $13.1 million, or 16% of sales, up from $11.3 million or 15% of sales in the first quarter, and it represented the highest level in more than five years.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

At quarter end, cash and investments including restricted cash grew to $226 million. Cash flow from operations was $26.4 million during the second quarter, primarily a result of profitable operations and strong cash collections.

Third Quarter 2012 Outlook

Based on current business conditions, ESI expects revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 to be in the $50 million range. Third quarter non-GAAP earnings per share are expected to be at breakeven or slightly below.

Konidaris concluded, “The uncertain economic and market environment has caused many of our customers to delay their near-term capacity additions. These pauses are typical in some of our markets, and could last several quarters. During this period demand will be primarily driven by our new product introductions as well as opportunities related to growth in smartphones and tablets. In the meantime, we plan to continue to invest aggressively in R&D in order to advance our position and support our customers.”

The company will hold a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. ET. The session will include a review of the financial results, operational performance and business outlook, and also a question and answer period.

The conference call can be accessed by calling 800-688-0796 (domestic participants) or 617-614-4070 (international participants). The conference ID number is 43538874. A live audio webcast can be accessed at www.esi.com. Upon completion of the call, an audio replay will be accessible through November 5, 2011, at 888-286-8010 (domestic participants) or 617-801-6888 (international participants), passcode 76788016. 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 financial measures exclude the impact of purchase accounting, equity compensation and other non-recurring 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.
