FLANDERS, NEW JERSEY (August 1, 2011) - Rudolph Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: RTEC), a leading provider of process characterization equipment and software for wafer fabs and advanced packaging facilities, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2011.
2011 Second Quarter Highlights:
| • | Second quarter 2011 revenue of $51.5 million increased seven percent as compared with second quarter 2010 revenue. |
| • | GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2011 was $7.0 million or $0.22 per fully diluted share; non-GAAP earnings per share was $0.28. |
| • | Cash increased by $11.8 million during the quarter to $93.3 million or $2.91 per diluted share. |
| • | Process Control Software sales marked second consecutive quarter above $6 million in quarterly revenue. |
Recent Business Highlights:

| • | Issued $60 million of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2016, after the close of the second quarter. |
“Rudolph Technologies again delivered solid financial results in the second quarter,” noted Paul F. McLaughlin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “As compared with 2010, on a year-to-date basis our revenues have increased 15%, while our earnings per share have increased by 59%. In the second quarter, our overall book-to-bill ratio was higher than the industry's ratio of 0.94. These strong results have been driven by advances in mobile smart phones, advanced computing, and tablet connectivity. We continue to gain market acceptance and share with our new products, and continue to leverage our differentiated solutions for both front-end and back-end markets in the minds of our customers.”
Mr. McLaughlin continued, “On July 19 we completed a strategic Convertible Senior Notes offering, which increased the Company's cash balances by $50.4 million. Our goal is to always keep Rudolph Technologies well positioned to take advantage of secular growth opportunities in the markets we serve, and to be prepared to make acquisitions and fund growth should the appropriate opportunities present themselves. This financing with its compelling economic and strategic benefits will do just, that as we are now positioned to explore a broader range of opportunities than we ever could in the past. As has always been the case, our M&A strategy will continue to be a very focused and disciplined process, based on well-defined guidelines. We will continue to consider proven companies, divisions of larger companies and other strategic partnerships with sustainable and differentiated positions in their markets.” McLaughlin concluded, “Rudolph is building, diversifying and growing, with a balanced organic and inorganic strategy that we believe will allow us to outperform in the quarters ahead.”
Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results
Second quarter 2011 revenue totaled $51.5 million, a two percent increase compared with $50.6 million for the 2011 first quarter. During the 2011 second quarter, international sales represented approximately 76 percent of revenue, of which 54 percent was from Asia, while domestic sales accounted for 24 percent. In the second quarter of 2010, international sales represented approximately 82 percent of revenue and domestic sales accounted for 18 percent.
Gross margin was 54 percent in both the 2011 first and second quarters. Higher margin software sales, at 12 percent of total revenue in each quarter were partially offset by an increase in inventory reserves related to older product lines in the first quarter and product mix in the second quarter of 2011.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2011 totaled $19.9 million, an increase of $0.7 million from $19.2 million in the 2011 first quarter. Research and development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter totaled $9.6 million, compared with $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2011. Selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) expenses for the second quarter remained the same as first quarter 2011 at $9.9 million. The increase in operating expenses were primarily due to increased project costs, the establishment of the Company's charitable matching gift program, offset by lower incentive compensation costs.
GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2011 was $7.0 million, or $0.22 per share, compared with net income of $6.7 million or $0.21 per share, for the first quarter of 2011. Excluding the after-tax impact of $2.6 million in non-GAAP adjustments, which included litigation, the establishment of the matching gift program and share-based compensation charges, the second quarter 2011 non-GAAP net income was $9.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share.
Balance Sheet Strength
At June 30, 2011, cash and marketable securities increased $11.8 million to $93.3 million from the previous quarter. Cash proceeds from the Convertible Senior Notes issued after the close of the second quarter increased the Company's cash balances by $50.4 million. During the quarter, accounts receivable decreased to $51.2 million and inventory decreased to $57.1 million. Working capital as of June 30, 2011 increased $10.1 million, ending the quarter at $179.3 million.
Conference Call
Rudolph Technologies will discuss its 2011 second quarter results on a conference call it is hosting today at 4:45 PM EDT. A live audio webcast will also be available to investors on the Company's website at www.rudolphtech.com.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, we have presented financial measures, which have not been determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are therefore non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of the establishment of the charitable matching gift program, litigation fees, share based compensation, and restructuring costs. We believe that this presentation of non-GAAP financial measures allows investors to better assess the Company's operating performance by comparing it to prior periods on a more consistent basis. We have included a reconciliation of various non-GAAP financial measures to those measures reported in accordance with GAAP. To that end, non-GAAP financial measures should be evaluated in conjunction with, and are not a substitute for, GAAP financial measures. Because our calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, investors should be careful when comparing our non-GAAP financial measures to those of other companies.
