“We ended 2015 on a positive note, delivering solid Q4 revenue and adjusted EBITDA and exceeding the high end of our guidance range for gross margin. Q4 bookings doubled sequentially to $107 million, bolstered by record-level orders for our Precision Surface Processing (“PSP”) products. PSP has enabled us to significantly expand our footprint in the RF and MEMS markets and also gain entry into the high growth Advanced Packaging space. With focus and execution, we exceeded our 2015 revenue plans for PSP which contributed to annual revenue growth of 21 percent for the company,” commented John R. Peeler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“Entering 2016, we continue to face a weak macro-economic environment and challenging LED industry conditions. As a result, we expect investments for Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (“MOCVD”) equipment will remain soft through the first half of this year. During this time, we continue to strengthen our product portfolio and recently introduced the TurboDisc® K475iTM MOCVD reactor to complement our industry leading EPIKTM 700 MOCVD product. We remain focused on positioning the Company for long term growth and are encouraged by our prospects,” Mr. Peeler concluded.
Guidance and Outlook
The following guidance is provided for Veeco’s first quarter 2016:
· Revenue is expected to be in the range of $70 million to $80 million
· Adjusted EBITDA (loss) is expected to be in the range of ($9) million to ($5) million
· GAAP earnings (loss) per share are expected to be in the range of ($0.62) to ($0.52)
· Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share are expected to be in the range of ($0.35) to ($0.25)

This 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; nonrecurring charges relating to restructuring initiatives, non-cash asset impairments, certain other non-operating gains and losses, and acquisition-related items such as one-time transaction costs, non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets, incremental nonrecurring compensation, and the stepped-up cost of sales associated with the purchase accounting of acquired inventory.
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 as 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 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.

This 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; nonrecurring charges relating to restructuring initiatives, non-cash asset impairments, certain other non-operating gains and losses, and acquisition-related items such as one-time transaction costs, non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets, incremental nonrecurring compensation, and the stepped-up cost of sales associated with the purchase accounting of acquired inventory.
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 as 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 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.
