ESI Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2014 Results
PORTLAND, Ore. – October 31, 2013 – Electro Scientific Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:ESIO), a leading supplier of innovative laser-based manufacturing solutions for the microtechnology industry, today announced results for its fiscal 2014 second quarter ended September 28, 2013. Financial measures are provided on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, which excludes the impact of purchase accounting, equity compensation, and other items.
Revenue in the second quarter was $59.6 million, compared to $46.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $80.2 million in the second quarter of last fiscal year. On a GAAP basis, net loss was $2.8 million or $0.09 per share, compared to net loss of $3.3 million or $0.11 per share in the prior quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, second quarter net income was $2.6 million or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.4 million or $0.01 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and net income of $7.0 million or $0.23 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
“I'm pleased to report another good quarter for ESI with revenues, gross margin and non-GAAP earnings per share at the high end of our outlook,” stated Nick Konidaris, president and CEO of ESI. “We also continued to execute on our growth initiatives that will expand our markets and unlock incremental revenue opportunities.”
Orders for the second quarter were $46.2 million, compared to $58.3 million in the prior quarter. Konidaris continued, “The demand environment was challenging this quarter, due to a lull in advanced microfabrication demand, delays in the adoption of next-generation strengthened glass, and the absorption of capacity ordered earlier in the year.”
GAAP gross margin was 41.3%. Non-GAAP gross margin was 43.2% compared to 43.9% in the prior quarter. Operating expenses were $23.9 million, up from $22.5 million in the prior quarter. On a non-GAAP basis operating expenses increased to $22.1 million due mainly to incremental development costs associated with strategic design wins in the semiconductor business and a full quarter of expenses from our acquired Semiconductor Systems division. Non-GAAP operating income was $3.7 million compared to $0.5 million in the first quarter.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
At quarter end, cash and investments decreased to $132 million. The company generated $5.6 million in cash from operations during the quarter, paid $1.7 million as a net working capital adjustment associated with its acquisition of the Semiconductor Systems business, and paid $2.4 million for the quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share. The company also used $5.0 million to increase its equity investment in OmniGuide, Inc., a provider of fiber technology for minimally invasive micro-surgical cutting and coagulation. The terms of this latest round of financing resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $3.6 million related to ESI's investment in previous rounds.
Third Quarter 2014 Outlook
Based on recent order levels, ESI expects revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 to be in the low $40 million range. Non-GAAP loss per share is expected to be $0.05 to $0.09. Additionally, we expect fiscal year revenues to be down approximately 10% from 2013.
Konidaris concluded, “In the near term we are facing the impact of a lull in equipment demand for consumer electronics applications and a delay in the adoption of next-generation strengthened glass. However, we are pleased with progress in our growth strategy, as we aggressively pursue promising opportunities in consumer electronics, 3D semiconductor packaging and enabling laser technologies. We are heavily engaged with our customers and believe that our laser microfabrication solutions will continue to enable new functionality, drive down cost, increase yield and improve the quality of consumer electronics devices."
The company will hold a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. ET. The session will include a review of the financial results, operational performance and business outlook, and also a question and answer period.

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 purchase accounting, equity compensation, restructuring charges and other items. 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. 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.
