SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 14, 2013 - Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today reported orders of $1.69 billion, down 8 percent compared with one year ago, and revenues of $1.73 billion for the second fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2013, flat with one year ago. Second-quarter GAAP net income was $166 million, or $0.48 per share. Last year's second-quarter GAAP net income was $255 million, or $0.72 per share.

During the second quarter, Agilent had restructuring costs of $55 million, intangible amortization of $51 million, and acquisition, integration and transformation costs of $9 million. The company also recognized a tax benefit of $18 million. Excluding these items and $6 million of other net charges, Agilent reported second-quarter adjusted net income of $269 million, or $0.77 per share⁽¹⁾.

Agilent CEO Bill Sullivan said, “We were pleased to have exceeded EPS guidance for the quarter, reflecting our focus on cost control and profitability in the face of the worldwide economic slowdown and the impact of U.S. sequestration. We expect the macroeconomic environment to remain challenging throughout the second half of 2013 and are taking additional actions to strengthen our operating performance.”

Electronic Measurement second-quarter revenues were down 13 percent compared with the prior year, with particular weakness in wireless manufacturing. Operating margins were 21 percent.

Chemical Analysis revenues were up 3 percent compared with a year ago, led by growth in food markets. Operating margins were 22 percent.

Life Sciences revenues were up 2 percent over a year ago, with continued strength in pharmaceutical markets. Operating margins were 15 percent.

Diagnostics and Genomics revenues grew 124 percent, down 3 percent excluding the effects of the Dako acquisition. Operating margins were 17 percent.

Agilent generated $315 million of cash from operations in the quarter. Second-quarter ROIC was 17 percent⁽³⁾.

Third-quarter 2013 revenues are expected to be in the range of $1.63 billion to $1.66 billion. Third-quarter non-GAAP earnings are expected to be in the range of $0.60 to $0.64 per share⁽²⁾.

For the full fiscal year 2013, Agilent now expects revenue of $6.75 billion to $6.85 billion and non-GAAP earnings of $2.70 to $2.85 per share⁽²⁾.

Stock Repurchase Program

Agilent announced today that its board of directors has authorized an increase of $500 million to its existing stock repurchase program. Under the increased program, the company is authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion of its common stock, inclusive of amounts repurchased since Nov. 1, 2012. Agilent expects the program to be completed by the end of calendar year 2013.

During the first quarter of 2013, Agilent purchased 2 million shares of common stock, and in the second quarter, 3.3 million shares were purchased. Under the increased program, approximately $781 million of stock remains to be repurchased.

Targeted Restructuring Program

Agilent also announced today that it has initiated a targeted restructuring program that is expected to reduce Agilent's total headcount by approximately 450 regular employees, representing approximately 2 percent of its global workforce. The timing and scope of workforce reductions will vary based on local legal requirements. When completed, the restructuring program is expected to result in an approximately $50 million reduction in annual operating expenses.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the safe harbors created therein. The forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are not limited to, information regarding Agilent's future revenues, earnings and profitability; the future demand for the company's products and services; customer expectations; Agilent's plans regarding its stock repurchase program; and revenue and non-GAAP earnings guidance for the third quarter and full fiscal year 2013. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause Agilent's results to differ materially from management's current expectations. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, unforeseen changes in the strength of our customers' businesses; unforeseen changes in the demand for current and new products, technologies, and services; customer purchasing decisions and timing; the risk that we are not able to realize the savings expected from integration and restructuring activities; and stock price, economic and market conditions, and corporate and regulatory requirements, which could cause the actual amount of shares repurchased to be less than currently anticipated.

In addition, other risks that Agilent faces in running its operations include the ability to execute successfully through business cycles; the ability to meet and achieve the benefits of its cost-reduction goals and otherwise successfully adapt its cost structures to continuing changes in business conditions; ongoing competitive, pricing and gross-margin pressures; the risk that our cost-cutting initiatives will impair our ability to develop products and remain competitive and to operate effectively; the impact of geopolitical uncertainties and global economic conditions on our operations, our markets and our ability to conduct business; the ability to improve asset performance to adapt to changes in demand; the ability of our supply chain to adapt to changes in demand; the ability to successfully introduce new products at the right time, price and mix; the ability of Agilent to successfully integrate recent acquisitions; and other risks detailed in Agilent's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31, 2013. Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of Agilent's management and on currently available information. Agilent undertakes no responsibility to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.

⁽¹⁾ Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share exclude primarily the impacts of acquisition and integration costs, acquisition fair value adjustments, transformation initiatives and restructuring costs, and non-cash intangibles amortization. We also exclude any tax benefits that are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. A reconciliation between non-GAAP net income and GAAP net

income is set forth on page 6 of the attached tables along with additional information regarding the use of this non-GAAP measure.

⁽²⁾ Non-GAAP earnings per share as projected for Q3FY13 and full fiscal year 2013 excludes primarily the impacts of acquisition and integration costs, future restructuring costs, asset impairment charges, and non-cash intangibles amortization. We also exclude any tax benefits that are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. Most of these excluded amounts pertain to events that have not yet occurred and are not currently possible to estimate with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Therefore, no reconciliation to GAAP amounts has been provided. Future amortization of intangibles is expected to be approximately $54 million per quarter.

⁽³⁾ Return on invested capital (ROIC) is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as income from operations less other (income) expense and taxes, annualized, divided by the average of the two most recent quarter-end balances of assets less net current liabilities. The reconciliation of ROIC can be found on page 8 of the attached tables, along with additional information regarding the use of this non-GAAP measure.

Non-GAAP Net Income	$	269		$	0.77		$	275		$	0.78		$	491		$	1.40		$	519		$	1.47

(a) The adjustment for taxes excludes tax benefits that management believes are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2013, management uses a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 16%, respectively, that we believe to be indicative of on-going operations.

Historical amounts are reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

We provide non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share amounts in order to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and our prospects for the future. These supplemental measures exclude, among other things, charges related to the amortization of intangibles, the impact of restructuring charges and acquisition and integration costs. Some of the exclusions, such as impairments, may be beyond the control of management. Further, some may be less predictable than revenue derived from our core businesses (the day to day business of selling our products and services). These reasons provide the basis for management's belief that the measures are useful.

Our management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of our core businesses, to estimate future core performance and to compensate employees. Since management finds this measure to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results "through the eyes" of management in addition to seeing our GAAP results. This information facilitates our management's internal comparisons to our historical operating results as well as to the operating results of our competitors.

Our management recognizes that items such as amortization of intangibles and restructuring charges can have a material impact on our cash flows and/or our net income. Our GAAP financial statements including our statement of cash flows portray those effects. Although we believe it is useful for investors to see core performance free of special items, investors should understand that the excluded items are actual expenses that may impact the cash available to us for other uses. To gain a complete picture of all effects on the company's profit and loss from any and all events, management does (and investors should) rely upon the GAAP income statement. The non-GAAP numbers focus instead upon the core business of the company, which is only a subset, albeit a critical one, of the company's performance.

Readers are reminded that non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures. They should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

The preliminary non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS reconciliation is estimated based on our current information.

Income from operations reflect the results of our reportable segments under Agilent's management reporting system which are not necessarily in conformity with GAAP financial measures. Income from operations of our reporting segments exclude, among other things, charges related to the amortization of intangibles, the impact of restructuring charges, acquisition and integration costs.

In general, recorded orders represent firm purchase commitments from our customers with established terms and conditions for products and services that will be delivered within six months.

(a) Return On Invested Capital is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as income from operations less other (income) expense and taxes, annualized, divided by the average of the two most recent quarter-end balances of assets less net current liabilities. The reconciliation of ROIC can be found on page 8 of these tables, along with additional information regarding the use of this non-GAAP measure.

(a) Agilent return is equal to non-GAAP net income of $269 million plus net interest expense after tax of $18 million for Q2'13, and $275 million plus net interest expense after tax of $18 million for Q2'12. Please see "Non-GAAP Net Income and Diluted EPS Reconciliations" for a reconciliation of non-GAAP net income to GAAP net income.

(b) Segment assets consist of inventory, accounts receivable, property plant and equipment, gross goodwill and other intangibles, deferred taxes and allocated corporate assets.

(c) Includes accounts payable, employee compensation and benefits, deferred revenue, certain other accrued liabilities and allocated corporate liabilities.

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is a non-GAAP measure that management believes provides useful supplemental information for management and the investor. ROIC is a tool by which we track how much value we are creating for our shareholders. Management uses ROIC as a performance measure for our businesses, and our senior managers' compensation is linked to ROIC improvements as well as other performance criteria. We believe that ROIC provides our management with a means to analyze and improve their business, measuring segment profitability in relation to net asset investments. We acknowledge that ROIC may not be calculated the same way by every company. When we complete major acquisitions, we may adjust invested capital for the relevant segment in the quarter when the acquisition occurred. We compensate for this limitation by monitoring and providing to the reader a full GAAP income statement and balance sheet.

The preliminary reconciliation of ROIC is estimated based on our current information.
