“Veeco closed out a difficult first half of 2016 delivering second quarter results which were in line with our expectations and underscore our focus on operational execution,” commented John R. Peeler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

 

“As previously communicated, we have taken decisive steps aimed at improving our through-cycle profitability by reducing fixed costs and streamlining our operations. This plan will enable us to lower our quarterly adjusted EBITDA breakeven level to between $75 and $80 million in revenue, without compromising our ability to capitalize on growth opportunities. Looking ahead, we see positive indications that should lead to a pick-up in demand for our Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (“MOCVD”) equipment over the near term,” Mr. Peeler concluded.

 

The restructuring plan involves the consolidation of three manufacturing operations and streamlining of field and administrative functions. The plan is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2016 and to result in annualized savings of approximately $20 million starting in the first quarter of 2017.  As a result of these actions, the company recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $16 million in the second quarter.

 



 

Guidance and Outlook

 

The following guidance is provided for Veeco’s third quarter 2016:

 

·                  Revenue is expected to be in the range of $70 million to $85 million

·                  GAAP Net Income (loss) is expected to be in the range of ($24) million to ($18) million and earnings (loss) per share is expected to be in the range of ($0.62) to ($0.46)

·                  Non-GAAP Net Income (loss) is expected to be in the range of ($10) million to ($4) million and earnings (loss) per share is expected to be in the range of ($0.26) to ($0.10)

·                  Adjusted EBITDA (loss) is expected to be in the range of ($6) million to breakeven

These table includes financial measures adjusted for the impact of certain items; these financial measures are therefore not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These Non-GAAP financial measures exclude items such as: share-based compensation expense; charges relating to restructuring initiatives; non-cash asset impairments; certain other non-operating gains and losses; and acquisition-related items such as transaction costs, non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets, and incremental transaction-related compensation.

 

These Non-GAAP financial measures may be different from Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. By excluding these items, Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to facilitate meaningful comparisons to historical operating results, competitors’ operating results, and estimates made by securities analysts. Management is evaluated on key performance metrics including adjusted EBITDA, which is used to determine management incentive compensation as well as to forecast future periods. These Non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, similar Non-GAAP financial measures have historically been reported to investors; the inclusion of comparable numbers provides consistency in financial reporting. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the Non-GAAP financial measures used in this news release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
