Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Results

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash and investment balances increased to $2.7 billion at the end of the June 2013 quarter compared to $2.5 billion at the end of the March 2013 quarter. Cash flows from operating activities were approximately $175 million during the June 2013 quarter, adding to our overall cash position.

Deferred revenue and deferred profit balances at the end of the June 2013 quarter increased to $389.2 million and $225.0 million, respectively, as compared to $326.6 million and $193.3 million, respectively, at the end of the March 2013 quarter. Lam’s deferred revenue balance does not include shipments to Japanese customers, to whom title does not transfer until customer acceptance. Shipments to Japanese customers are classified as inventory at cost until the time of acceptance. The anticipated future revenue from shipments to Japanese customers was approximately $69.9 million as of June 30, 2013.

Geographic Distribution

The geographic distribution of shipments and revenue during the June 2013 quarter is shown in the following table:

Region	Shipments			Revenue
North America		13	%		15	%
Europe		7	%		8	%
Japan		13	%		11	%
Korea		20	%		17	%
Taiwan		32	%		33	%
Asia Pacific		15	%		16	%

Outlook

For the September 2013 quarter, Lam is providing the following guidance on a non-GAAP basis:

• Shipments of approximately $1 billion plus or minus $30 million

• Revenue of approximately $1 billion plus or minus $30 million

• Gross margin of approximately 44.0% plus or minus 1.0%

• Operating margin as a percent of revenue of approximately 14.0% plus or minus 1.5%

• Earnings per share of approximately $0.68 plus or minus $0.07, based on a diluted share count of 170 million

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results

In addition to U.S. GAAP results, this commentary also contains non-GAAP financial results. The Company’s non-GAAP results for both the June 2013 and March 2013 quarters exclude costs associated with the fair-value impact of acquisition-related inventory, amortization related to intangible assets acquired in the Novellus transaction, certain integration-related costs, the amortization of convertible note discounts, rationalization of certain product configurations, and tax expense associated with legal-entity integration. Additionally, the June 2013 quarter non-GAAP results exclude restructuring charges and tax benefits from the successful resolution of certain tax matters, and the March 2013 quarter non-GAAP results exclude the impairment of an investment and tax benefit on reinstatement of R&D tax credit.

Management uses non-GAAP gross margin, operating income, operating expenses, operating margin, net income, and net income per diluted share to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial results. The Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing business trends and comparing performance to prior periods, along with enhancing the investors’ ability to view the Company’s results from management’s perspective. Tables presenting reconciliations of non-GAAP results to U.S. GAAP results are included at the end of this press release and on the Company’s web site at http://investor.lamresearch.com.
