A reconciliation between GAAP operating results and non-GAAP operating results is provided following the financial statements that are part of this release and on the investor page of Nanometrics' website. Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets and certain discrete tax items.


Commenting on the company's results, president and chief executive officer Dr. Timothy J. Stultz said, "Increased spending by our largest customers and resumption of investments in memory devices led to 41% growth in revenues -- and a doubling in product sales -- over the previous quarter. During the second quarter we also saw meaningful progress against a number of our strategic objectives, including increased adoption of our leading-edge products by pure-play foundry customers. Looking forward, we continue to see improvement in our business outlook, growth in second half revenues over the first half, and an optimistic outlook for 2014 driven by investments in emerging technologies and increasing capacity across all device types."

Second Quarter 2013 Summary
Revenues for the second quarter of 2013 were $34.6 million, up 41% from $24.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 and down 35% from $53.2 million in the second quarter of 2012. Gross margin was 41.9% compared to 42.7% in the prior quarter and 46.6% in the year-ago period. The operating loss was $6.2 million compared to an operating loss of $9.6 million in the prior quarter and operating income of $4.3 million in the year-ago period. The net loss was $4.6 million or $0.20 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.6 million or $0.24 per share in the prior quarter and net income of $4.5 million or $0.19 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2012.

On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets, gross margin was 43.8% compared to 45.4% in the prior quarter and 47.8% in the year-ago period. The operating loss was $5.3 million, compared to an operating loss of $8.7 million in the prior quarter and operating income of $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2012. The non-GAAP net loss, which also adjusts for the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments as well as discrete tax items, was $4.0 million or $0.17 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.0 million or $0.22 per share in the prior quarter and net income of $3.1 million or $0.13 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2012.
Balance Sheet Strength
At June 29, 2013, Nanometrics had $86.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and $143.5 million in working capital. Stockholders' equity, excluding intangible assets, was $183.8 million, or $7.93 per share based on 23.2 million shares outstanding at quarter end.
Business Outlook
Management expects total revenues for the third quarter of 2013 to be in the range of $36 to $40 million, with GAAP gross margin in the range of 41% to 45%, non-GAAP gross margin in the range of 43% to 47%, and operating expenses up $0.2 to $0.9 million from the second quarter. Management expects the third quarter GAAP net loss to be $0.16 to $0.05 per share and the non-GAAP net loss to be $0.14 to $0.03 per share.
Conference Call Details
A conference call to discuss second quarter 2013 results will be held today at 4:30 p.m. EDT (1:30 p.m. PDT). To participate in the conference call, the dial-in numbers are (877) 374-4041 for domestic callers and (253) 237-1156 for international callers. A live and recorded webcast and supplemental financial information will be made available on the investor page of the Nanometrics website at www.nanometrics.com.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Financial results such as non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating income, net income, and net income per share, which exclude certain expenses, charges and special items, were not prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Management uses non-GAAP financial results, which exclude acquisition-related expenses such as amortization of acquired intangibles and transaction costs, asset impairments, restructuring charges, legal settlements, certain discrete tax items and the impact of the timing of the approval of elections related to tax treatment of certain foreign subsidiaries, and other unusual and infrequent items to evaluate the company's ongoing performance and to enable comparison to other periods that did not include these unusual and infrequent items. The company believes the presentation of non-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing ongoing business trends, comparing performance to prior periods, and enhancing the investor's ability to view the company's results from management's perspective. A table presenting a reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results is included at the end of this press release and is available on the investor page of the Nanometrics website at www.nanometrics.com.
