The Company has reviewed its plan for the implementation and will continue to report the status against that plan with the Company’s Audit Committee. The Company has established a cross functional project steering committee and implementation team to identify potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of the new standard to the Company’s revenue contracts and related expense line items. The Company has identified the various revenue streams, including product revenues, service revenues, installation and training, that could be impacted by Topic 606 and has started to review individual customer contracts related to these revenue streams to determine if any material differences exist between the current revenue standard, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605 and Topic 606. In the second quarter of 2017, the Company will be reviewing the additional disclosure requirements of the new standard and the potential impact on its internal control structure and revenue recognition policy. The Company has not completed its assessment of the new revenue recognition standard and has not yet determined the impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company anticipates that it will complete its assessment of the new standard and its potential financial impact by the end of the third quarter of 2017.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	4) Fair Value Measurements In accordance with the provisions of fair value accounting, a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability and defines fair value based upon an exit price model. The fair value measurement guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities assessed as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments or securities or derivative contracts that are valued using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the Company categorizes such assets and liabilities based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Assets and liabilities of the Company are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2017 and are summarized as follows: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Description March 31, 2017 Quoted Prices Significant Significant Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 1,263 $ 1,263 $ — $ — Time deposits and certificates of deposit 2,300 — 2,300 — Bankers’ acceptance drafts 682 — 682 — Commercial paper 10,604 — 10,604 — Corporate obligations 1,550 — 1,550 — Restricted cash – money market funds 5,274 5,274 — — Available-for-sale Time deposits and certificates of deposit 3,479 — 3,479 — Bankers’ acceptance drafts 1,117 — 1,117 — Asset-backed securities 36,682 — 36,682 — Commercial paper 12,134 — 12,134 — Corporate obligations 51,393 — 51,393 — Municipal bonds 251 — 251 — Promissory note 675 — 675 — U.S. treasury obligations 20,424 — 20,424 — U.S. agency obligations 29,144 — 29,144 — Group insurance contracts 5,633 — 5,633 — Derivatives – currency forward contracts 664 — 664 — Derivatives – options contracts 14 — 14 — Funds in investments and other assets: Israeli pension assets 14,024 — 14,024 — Derivatives – interest rate hedge – non-current 5,428 — 5,428 — Restricted cash – non-current 744 744 — — Total assets $ 203,479 $ 7,281 $ 196,198 $ — Liabilities: Derivatives – currency forward contracts $ 3,666 $ — $ 3,666 $ — Reported as follows: Assets: Cash and cash equivalents (1) $ 16,399 $ 1,263 $ 15,136 $ — Restricted cash 5,274 5,274 — — Short-term investments 155,299 — 155,299 — Other current assets 678 — 678 — Total current assets $ 177,650 $ 6,537 $ 171,113 $ — Long-term investments (2) 5,633 — 5,633 — Other long-term assets 19,452 — 19,452 — Restricted cash – non-current 744 744 — — Total long-term assets $ 25,829 $ 744 $ 25,085 $ — Liabilities: Other current liabilities $ 3,666 $ — $ 3,666 $ — (1) The cash and cash equivalent amounts presented in the table above do not include cash of $238,663 and non-negotiable (2) The long-term investments presented in the table above do not include our minority interest investment in a private company, which is accounted for under the cost method.

Money Market Funds Money market funds are cash and cash equivalents and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Restricted Cash The Company has letters of credit, which require it to maintain specified cash deposit balances, consisting mainly of money market funds, as collateral. Such amounts have been classified as restricted cash and are classified as Level 1. Available-For-Sale Available-for-sale The Company measures its debt and equity investments at fair value. The Company’s available-for-sale Israeli Pension Assets Israeli pension assets represent investments in mutual funds, government securities and other time deposits. These investments are set aside for the retirement benefit of the employees at the Company’s Israeli subsidiaries. These funds are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Derivatives As a result of the Company’s global operating activities, the Company is exposed to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect its operating results and financial position. When deemed appropriate, the Company minimizes its risks from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations through the use of derivative financial instruments. The principal market in which the Company executes its foreign currency contracts is the institutional market in an over-the-counter

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives	5) Derivatives The Company enters into derivative instruments for risk management purposes only, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments and those utilized as economic hedges. The Company operates internationally and, in the normal course of business, is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. The Company has used derivative instruments, such as forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts, to manage certain foreign currency exposure. By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. The Company enters into derivative instruments with major investment grade financial institutions, for which no collateral is required. The Company has policies to monitor the credit risk of these counterparties. While there can be no assurance, the Company does not anticipate any material non-performance Interest Rate Swap Agreement On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the rate on approximately 50% of its remaining outstanding balance of the Credit Agreement, as described further in Note 9. This hedge fixes the interest rate paid on the hedged debt at 1.198% per annum plus the credit spread of 3.50% through September 30, 2020. The interest rate swap will be recorded at fair value on the balance sheet and changes in the fair value will be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). To the extent that this arrangement is no longer an effective hedge, any ineffectiveness measured in the hedging relationship is recorded currently in earnings in the period it occurs. The notional amount of this transaction was $335,000 and had a fair value of $5,428 at March 31, 2017. Foreign Exchange Contracts The Company hedges a portion of its forecasted foreign currency-denominated intercompany sales of inventory, over a maximum period of eighteen months, using forward foreign exchange contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges related to Japanese, South Korean, British, Euro and Taiwanese currencies. To the extent these derivatives are effective in off-setting The Company also enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge certain balance sheet amounts and foreign currency option contracts related to the Israeli Shekel. To the extent the hedge accounting criteria is not met, the related foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts are considered as economic hedges and changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded immediately in earnings in the period in which they occur.

Acquisitions	7) Acquisitions Newport Corporation On April 29, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of Newport Corporation (“Newport”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 22, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, PSI Equipment, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Newport (the “Newport Merger”). At the effective time of the Newport Merger and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of Newport’s common stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Newport Merger was converted into the right to receive $23.00 in cash, without interest and subject to deduction for any required withholding tax. Newport’s innovative solutions leverage its expertise in advanced technologies, including lasers, photonics and precision motion equipment, and optical components and sub-systems, The purchase price of Newport consisted of the following: Cash paid for outstanding shares (1) $ 905,254 Settlement of share-based compensation awards (2) 8,824 Cash paid for Newport debt (3) 93,200 Total purchase price $ 1,007,278 Less: Cash and cash equivalents acquired (61,463 ) Total purchase price, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired $ 945,815 (1) Represents cash paid of $23.00 per share for approximately 39,359,000 shares of Newport common stock, without interest and subject to a deduction for any required withholding tax. (2) Represents the vested but not issued portion of Newport share-based compensation awards as of the acquisition date of April 29, 2016. (3) Represents the cash paid for the outstanding balance of Newport’s senior secured revolving credit agreement. The Company funded the payment of the aggregate consideration with a combination of the Company’s available cash on hand and the proceeds from the Company’s senior secured Term Loan Facility, as described in Note 9. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total estimated acquisition consideration is allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of Newport based on their fair values as of the acquisition date. Any excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. The Company expects that all such goodwill and intangible assets will not be deductible for tax purposes. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the Newport Merger: Current assets (including cash) $ 186,137 Inventory 142,714 Intangible assets 404,506 Goodwill 396,027 Property, plant and equipment 119,932 Long-term assets 22,725 Total assets acquired 1,272,041 Current liabilities 95,156 Intangible liability 4,302 Other long-term liabilities 165,305 Total liabilities assumed 264,763 Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed 1,007,278 Less: Cash and cash equivalents acquired (61,463 ) Total purchase price, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired $ 945,815 For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded $15,090 of incremental cost of sales charges associated with the fair value write-up The fair value write-up value-in-use, The acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the economic use of the asset. The following table reflects the allocation of the acquired intangible assets and liabilities and related estimate of useful lives: Order backlog $ 12,100 1 year Customer relationships 247,793 6-18 Trademarks and trade names 55,900 Indefinite Developed technology 75,386 4-8 In-process 6,899 Undefined (1) Leasehold interest (favorable) 6,428 4-5 Total intangible assets $ 404,506 Leasehold interest (unfavorable) $ 4,302 (1) The useful lives of in-process The fair value of the acquired intangibles was determined using the income approach. In performing these valuations, the key underlying probability-adjusted assumptions of the discounted cash flows were projected revenues, gross margin expectations and operating cost estimates. The valuations were based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date and the expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by the Company’s management. There are inherent uncertainties and management judgment required in these determinations. This acquisition resulted in a purchase price that exceeded the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible assets, the excess amount of which was allocated to goodwill. The Company believes the amount of goodwill relative to identifiable intangible assets relates to several factors including: (1) potential buyer-specific synergies related to market opportunities for a combined product offering; and (2) potential to leverage the Company’s sales force to attract new customers and revenue and cross sell to existing customers. The results of this acquisition were included in the Company’s consolidated operations beginning on April 29, 2016. Newport constitutes the Company’s Light & Motion reportable segment (see Note 16). Certain executives from Newport have severance provisions in their respective Newport employment agreements. The agreements include terms that are accounted for as dual-trigger arrangements. Through the Company’s acquisition accounting, the expense relating to these benefits was recognized in the combined entity’s financial statements, however, the benefit itself will not be distributed until the final provision is met by each eligible executive. The Company recorded costs of $5,816 and $3,334 as compensation expense and stock-based compensation expense, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 in connection with these severance provisions. The shares underlying the restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights that are eligible for accelerated vesting if the executive exercises his rights are not issued as of each reporting period-end Cost Method Investment in a Private Company On April 27, 2016, the Company invested $9,300 for a minority interest in a private company, which operates in the field of semiconductor process equipment instrumentation. The Company accounted for this investment using the cost method of accounting. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recognized an impairment loss on this investment of $5,000 based upon financial information of this private company.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	8) Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill The Company’s methodology for allocating the purchase price relating to purchase acquisitions is determined through established and generally accepted valuation techniques. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the sum of the amounts assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed. The Company assigns assets acquired (including goodwill) and liabilities assumed to one or more reporting units as of the date of acquisition. Typically acquisitions relate to a single reporting unit and thus do not require the allocation of goodwill to multiple reporting units. If the products obtained in an acquisition are assigned to multiple reporting units, the goodwill is distributed to the respective reporting units as part of the purchase price allocation process. Goodwill and purchased intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets requires significant judgment. The Company regularly monitors current business conditions and other factors including, but not limited to, adverse industry or economic trends, restructuring actions and lower projections of profitability that may impact future operating results. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill and accumulated impairment (loss) during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2016 Gross Accumulated Net Gross Accumulated Net Beginning balance at January 1 $ 727,999 $ (139,414 ) $ 588,585 $ 339,117 $ (139,414 ) $ 199,703 Acquired goodwill (1) — — — 396,027 — 396,027 Foreign currency translation 1,917 — 1,917 (7,145 ) — (7,145 ) Ending balance at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 $ 729,916 $ (139,414 ) $ 590,502 $ 727,999 $ (139,414 ) $ 588,585 (1) During 2016, the Company recorded $396,027 of goodwill related to the Newport Merger.

Debt	9) Debt Term Loan Credit Agreement In connection with the completion of the Newport Merger, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), that provided senior secured financing of $780,000, subject to increase at the Company’s option in accordance with the Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Facility”). Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest per annum at one of the following rates selected by the Company: (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (2) the “prime rate” quoted in The Wall Street Journal, (3) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00%, and (4) a floor of 1.75%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin (that was initially 3.00% and was decreased as described below); or (b) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, subject to a LIBOR rate floor of 0.75%, plus an applicable margin (that was initially 4.00% and was decreased as described below). The Company has elected the interest rate as described in clause (b). The Term Loan Facility was issued with original issue discount of 1.00% of the principal amount thereof. On June 9, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Re-pricing “Re-pricing Re-pricing Re-pricing Re-pricing On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which has a maturity date of September 30, 2020, to fix the rate on $335,000 of the outstanding balance of the Credit Agreement. The rate is fixed at 1.198% per annum plus the credit spread of 3.50%. On December 14, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Re-pricing Amendment 2”) to the Credit Agreement by and among the Company, the Lenders and Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders. The Re-pricing Amendment 2 decreased the applicable margin for the Company’s term loan under the Credit Agreement to 2.75% for LIBOR borrowings and 1.75% for base rate borrowings and reset the period during which a pre-payment premium may be required for a “Re-pricing Transaction” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) until six months after the effective date of the Re-pricing Amendment. In November 2016, prior to the effectiveness of the Re-pricing Amendment 2, the Company prepaid an additional $40,000 of principal under the Credit Agreement. In March 2017, the Company prepaid $50,000 of principal under the Credit Agreement. After pre-payments of $200,000 and regularly scheduled principal payments of $4,966, the total outstanding principal balance was $575,034 as of March 31, 2017. The Company incurred $28,747 of deferred finance fees, original issue discount and a re-pricing fee related to the term loans under the Term Loan Facility, which is included in long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized to interest expense over the estimated life of the term loans using the effective interest method. A portion of these fees have been written-off in connection with the various debt pre-payments during 2016 and the first quarter of 2017. The remaining balance of the deferred finance fees, original issue discount and re-pricing fee related to the Term Loan Facility was $16,987 as of March 31, 2017. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with portions of its annual excess cash flow as well as with the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales, certain casualty and condemnation events and the incurrence or issuance of certain debt. The Company is also required to make scheduled quarterly payments each equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of the term loans outstanding on December 14, 2016 (the date of the Re-Pricing Amendment 2) less the amount of certain voluntary and mandatory repayments after such date, with the balance due on the seventh anniversary of the closing date. All obligations under the Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of such subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and exclusions. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and provisions relating to events of default. If an event of default occurs, the Lenders under the Term Loan Facility will be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the Term Loan Facility and all actions generally permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. At March 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement. Senior Secured Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility In connection with the completion of the Newport Merger, the Company also entered into an asset-based credit agreement with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, the other borrowers from time to time party thereto, and the lenders and letters of credit issuers from time to time party thereto (the “ABL Facility”), that provides senior secured financing of up to $50,000, subject to a borrowing base limitation. The borrowing base for the ABL Facility at any time equals the sum of: (a) 85% of certain eligible accounts; plus (b) subject to certain notice and field examination and appraisal requirements, the lesser of (i) the lesser of (A) 65% of the lower of cost or market value of certain eligible inventory and (B) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of certain eligible inventory and (ii) 30% of the borrowing base; minus (c) reserves established by the administrative agent; provided that until the administrative agent’s receipt of a field examination of accounts receivable the borrowing base shall be equal to 70% of the book value of certain eligible accounts. The ABL Facility includes borrowing capacity in the form of letters of credit up to $15,000. The Company has not drawn against the ABL Facility. Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest per annum at one of the following rates selected by the Company: (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (2) the “prime rate” quoted in The Wall Street Journal, and (3) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, an initial applicable margin of 0.75%; and (b) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, plus an initial applicable margin of 1.75%. Commencing with the completion of the first fiscal quarter ending after the closing of the ABL Facility, the applicable margin for borrowings thereunder is subject to upward or downward adjustment each fiscal quarter, based on the average historical excess availability during the preceding quarter. The Company incurred $1,201 of costs in connection with the ABL Facility, which were capitalized and included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method over the contractual term of five years of the ABL Facility. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the ABL Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The initial commitment fee is 0.375% per annum. The total commitment fee recognized in interest expense in 2016 was $128. Commencing with the completion of the first fiscal quarter ending after the closing of the ABL Facility, the commitment fee is subject to downward adjustment based on the amount of average unutilized commitments for the three month period immediately preceding such adjustment date. The Company must also pay customary letter of credit fees and agency fees. Lines of Credit and Short-Term Borrowing Arrangements One of the Company’s Japanese subsidiaries has lines of credit and short-term borrowing arrangements with two financial institutions which arrangements generally expire and are renewed at three month intervals. The lines of credit provided for aggregate borrowings as of March 31, 2017 of up to an equivalent of $20,547 U.S. dollars. One of the borrowing arrangements has an interest rate based on the Tokyo Interbank Offer Rate at the time of borrowing and the other has an interest rate based on the Japanese Short-Term Prime Lending Rate. There were no borrowings outstanding under these arrangements at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company assumed various revolving lines of credit and a financing facility with the completion of the Newport Merger. These revolving lines of credit and financing facility have no expiration date and provided for aggregate borrowings as of March 31, 2017 of up to an equivalent of $11,167 U.S. dollars. These lines of credit have a base interest rate of 1.25% plus a Japanese Yen overnight LIBOR rate. One of the Company’s Austrian subsidiaries has four outstanding loans from the Austrian government to fund research and development. These loans are unsecured and do not require principal repayment as long as certain conditions are met. Interest on these loans is payable semi-annually. The interest rates associated with these loans range from 0.75% - 2.00%.

While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers, the Company’s warranty obligation is affected by shipment volume, product failure rates, utilization levels, material usage, and supplier warranties on parts delivered to the Company. Should actual product failure rates, utilization levels, material usage, or supplier warranties on parts differ from the Company’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. The product warranty liability is included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Income Taxes	11) Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was 15.8% and 26.2%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and related income tax expense, was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate mainly due to the geographic mix of income earned by the Company’s international subsidiaries being taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate, the deduction for domestic production activities and the windfall stock compensation tax benefit related to the adoption of a new accounting standard that became applicable during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate mainly due to the impact of lower tax rates on foreign income and the deduction for domestic production activities. As of March 31, 2017, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which excludes interest and penalties, was approximately $25,925. At December 31, 2016, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which excludes interest and penalties, was approximately $25,465. As of March 31, 2017, if these benefits were recognized in a future period, the timing of which is not estimable, the net unrecognized tax benefit of $18,854, excluding interest and penalties, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company accrues interest expense, and if applicable, penalties, for any uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties are classified as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had accrued interest on unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $469 and $491, respectively. Over the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that the Company may recognize approximately $1,702 of previously net unrecognized tax benefits related to various U.S. federal, state and foreign tax positions primarily as a result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to examination by U.S. federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The U.S. statute of limitations remains open for tax years 2013 through present. The statute of limitations for the Company’s tax filings in other jurisdictions varies between fiscal years 2008 through present. We also have certain federal credit carry-forwards and state tax loss and credit carry-forwards that are open to examination for tax years 2000 through the present.

The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding (using the treasury stock method) if securities containing potentially dilutive common shares (restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights) had been converted to such common shares, and if such assumed conversion is dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no weighted-average shares of restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights that would have had an anti-dilutive effect on EPS, and would thus need to be excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares.

Stock Based Compensation	15) Stock Based Compensation In connection with the completion of the Newport Merger, the Company assumed: • all restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted under any Newport equity plan that were outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Newport Merger, and as to which shares of Newport common stock were not fully distributed in connection with the closing of the Newport Merger, and • all stock appreciation rights granted under any Newport equity plan, whether vested or unvested, that were outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Newport Merger. As of the effective time of the Newport Merger, based on a formula provided in the Merger Agreement, (a) the Newport RSUs were converted automatically into RSUs with respect to 360,674 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Assumed RSUs”), and (b) the Newport stock appreciation rights were converted automatically into stock appreciation rights with respect to 899,851 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Assumed SARs”). Included in the total number of Assumed RSUs were 36,599 RSUs for outside directors that were part of the Newport Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DC Plan”), from which 19,137 underlying shares were released in May 2016. As of March 31, 2017, 17,462 RSUs remained outstanding under the DC Plan, and an additional 234 shares were added to the DC Plan due to reinvested dividends. These Assumed RSUs will not become issued shares until their respective release dates. The shares of the Company’s common stock that are subject to the Assumed SARs and the Assumed RSUs are issuable pursuant to the Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The 1,260,525 shares of the Company’s common stock that are issuable pursuant to the Assumed RSUs and the Assumed SARs under the Plan were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on a registration statement on Form S-8. S-8. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company granted 171,179 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $66.06. There were no SARs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The total stock-based compensation expense included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income was as follows: Three Months Ended Three Months Ended Cost of revenues $ 930 $ 440 Research and development expense 745 374 Selling, general and administrative expense 7,107 3,338 Total pre-tax $ 8,782 $ 4,152 At March 31, 2017, the total compensation expense related to unvested stock-based awards granted to employees, officers and directors under the Plan that had not been recognized was $23,759, net of estimated forfeitures. The future compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures except for retirement eligible employees in which the Company expenses the fair value of the grant in the period the grant is issued. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates. The following table presents the activity for RSUs under the Plan: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Outstanding RSUs Weighted Average RSUs – beginning of period 1,325,516 $ 34.38 Accrued dividend shares 47 66.20 Granted 171,179 66.06 Vested (499,743 ) 33.59 Forfeited or expired (34,180 ) 33.50 RSUs – end of period 962,819 $ 40.46 The following table presents the activity for SARs under the Plan: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Outstanding SARs Weighted Average SARs – beginning of period 599,334 $ 28.10 Granted — — Exercised (120,206 ) 25.81 Forfeited or expired (9,563 ) 25.58 SARs Outstanding – end of period 469,565 $ 28.74 At March 31, 2017, the Company’s outstanding and exercisable SARs, the weighted-average base value, the weighted average remaining contractual life and the aggregate intrinsic value thereof, were as follows: Number of Weighted Weighted Average Aggregate SARs outstanding 469,565 $ 28.74 3.9 $ 18,787 SARs exercisable 398,868 $ 28.32 3.7 $ 16,127

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segment, Geographic Area, Product and Significant Customer Information	16) Business Segment, Geographic Area, Product and Significant Customer Information The Company is a global provider of instruments, subsystems and process control solutions that measure, control, deliver, power, monitor and analyze critical parameters of advanced manufacturing processes to improve process performance and productivity. The Company also provides services relating to the maintenance and repair of products it sells, installation services and training. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) utilizes financial information to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company, which is used in the decision making process to assess performance. Based upon the information provided to the CODM, the Company has determined it has two reportable segments. Effective April 29, 2016, in conjunction with the Newport Merger, the Company changed its reportable segments based upon the organizational structure of the Company and how the CODM utilizes information provided to allocate resources and make decisions. The Company’s two reportable segments are: Vacuum & Analysis and Light & Motion. The Vacuum & Analysis segment represents the legacy MKS business and the Light & Motion segment represents the legacy Newport business. The Vacuum & Analysis segment provides a broad range of instruments, components and subsystems which are derived from the Company’s core competencies in pressure measurement and control, flow measurement and control, gas and vapor delivery, gas composition analysis, residual gas analysis, leak detection, control and information technology, ozone generation and delivery, RF & DC power, reactive gas generation and vacuum technology. The Light & Motion segment provides a broad range of instruments, components and subsystems which are derived from the Company’s core competencies in lasers, photonics and optics. The Company derives its segment results directly from the manner in which results are reported in its management reporting system. The accounting policies that the Company uses to derive reportable segment results are substantially the same as those used for external reporting purposes. The Company does not disclose external or intersegment revenues separately by reportable segment as this information is not presented to the CODM for decision making purposes. The following is net revenues by reportable segment: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Vacuum & Analysis $ 277,984 $ 183,681 Light & Motion 159,169 — $ 437,153 $ 183,681 The following is a reconciliation of segment gross profit to consolidated net income: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Gross profit by reportable segment: Vacuum & Analysis $ 128,924 $ 77,913 Light & Motion 76,623 — Total gross profit by reportable segment 205,547 77,913 Operating expenses: Research and development 33,282 17,227 Selling, general and administrative 74,220 33,950 Acquisition and integration costs 1,442 2,494 Restructuring 522 — Amortization of intangible assets 12,501 1,683 Income from operations 83,580 22,559 Interest and other (expense) income, net (6,295 ) 1,246 Income before income taxes 77,285 23,805 Provision for income taxes 12,225 6,242 Net income $ 65,060 $ 17,563 The following is capital expenditures by reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016: Vacuum & Analysis Light & Motion Total Three Months Ended March 31, 2017: Capital expenditures $ 2,374 $ 1,725 $ 4,099 Three Months Ended March 31, 2016: Capital expenditures $ 2,156 $ — $ 2,156 The following is depreciation and amortization by reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016: Vacuum & Analysis Light & Motion Total Three Months Ended March 31, 2017: Depreciation and amortization $ 5,122 $ 16,711 $ 21,833 Three Months Ended March 31, 2016: Depreciation and amortization $ 5,278 $ — $ 5,278 Total income tax expense is not presented by reportable segment because the necessary information is not available or used by the CODM.

The Company has established a cross functional project steering committee and implementation team to identify potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of the new standard to the Company’s revenue contracts and related expense line items. The Company has identified the various revenue streams, including product revenues, service revenues, installation and training, that could be impacted by Topic 606 and has started to review individual customer contracts related to these revenue streams to determine if any material differences exist between the current revenue standard, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605 and Topic 606. In the second quarter of 2017, the Company will be reviewing the additional disclosure requirements of the new standard and the potential impact on its internal control structure and revenue recognition policy. The Company has not completed its assessment of the new revenue recognition standard and has not yet determined the impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company anticipates that it will complete its assessment of the new standard and its potential financial impact by the end of the third quarter of 2017.
