CYMER REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2011 OPERATING RESULTS

SAN DIEGO, Calif., July 21, 2011 - Cymer, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYMI), the world’s leading supplier of light sources used by chipmakers to create advanced semiconductor chips, today announced operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

For the second quarter of 2011:

• net income totaled $27.7 million, equal to $0.89 per share (diluted), compared to net income of $21.2 million, equal to $0.70 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of 2010 and net income of $28.8 million, equal to $0.94 per share (diluted) in the first quarter of 2011.

• revenue totaled $158.2 million compared to revenue of $131.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, and revenue of $154.4 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Commenting on results, Bob Akins, Cymer’s chief executive officer, said, “In the second quarter of 2011, we continued our focus on delivering products of increased customer value. Installed Base Products revenue increased five percent as compared to the previous quarter. Second quarter light source shipments remained at a high level as key customer deep ultraviolet (DUV) selections awarded to us in the second half of 2010 continued to translate into increased market share. We continued to increase our investment in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and we recently completed the installation of our second EUV 3100 source at an additional chipmaker location. We also received acceptance from an additional customer of our second TCZ Gen 4 crystallization system. We continued to focus on ramping our EUV and TCZ manufacturing and support capabilities in response to recently received orders.”

In the second quarter of 2011, the company shipped 47 light sources, of which 28 were ArF immersion, 17 were KrF and 2 were ArF dry, and the company installed 56 light sources at chipmaker and other end user locations. Gross profit was $84.2 million for the second quarter of 2011, yielding a 53.2 percent gross margin. Total operating expenses, which include research and development and selling and administrative expenses, were $47.3 million. Total operating income was $36.9 million or 23.3 percent of revenue. The second quarter effective tax rate was 25 percent. As of June 30, 2011, cash and investments totaled $281 million.

DUV and IBP bookings for the second quarter of 2011 totaled $141.3 million, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 0.91. Fifty-four percent of the DUV bookings in the second quarter were ArF immersion, 41 percent were KrF, and 5 percent were ArF dry. The company ended the quarter with a DUV backlog of $57.8 million. In addition to the DUV backlog, the company previously announced significant orders for EUV 3100 and 3300 sources and TCZ systems.

Company Outlook

Commenting on the outlook, Akins stated, “The lower level of second quarter DUV light source orders is reflective of chipmakers recently assessing their capital investments. As a result, we expect to ship a significantly reduced number of DUV light sources in the third quarter. Our investment in advanced performance enhancements for our flexible power DUV light sources and our focus on product reliability continues to strengthen our competitive position. Therefore, we believe when light source demand improves we will continue to be very well positioned to support customer equipment investment. We anticipate that our Installed Base Products revenue will remain strong, primarily driven by installed base growth, pulse mix and initial expansion to EUV and TCZ products. In spite of slowing DUV demand, we are committed to EUV source development and commercialization as we believe that our LPP EUV source technology is the most viable path towards enabling the extension of Moore’s Law. Customer pull for EUV and TCZ products is a significant driver of future growth for the company.”

Based on information available at this time, Cymer is providing the following guidance for the third quarter of 2011:

• Revenue to be approximately $130 million.

• Gross margin to be approximately 50 percent.

• R&D expenses to be approximately $34.5 million.

• SG&A expenses to be approximately $16.5 million.

• The third quarter effective tax rate to be approximately 21 percent.

Cymer’s management will hold a conference call at 2:00 pm (PDT) today, July 21, 2011, to discuss second quarter operating results and third quarter 2011 guidance. This press release, the conference call and accompanying slides may be accessed on the investor relations page of the company’s Web site atwww.cymer.com.
