Brooks Automation Reports Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Chelmsford, Massachusetts November 12, 2009 — Brooks Automation, Inc. (Nasdaq: BRKS) announced financial results for the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 ended on September 30, 2009.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2009 were $64.1 million, compared to revenues of $106.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, a decrease of 40.0%. Sequentially, revenues grew 46.1% from third quarter revenues of $43.9 million.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 amounted to $14.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share. Excluding special charges totaling $0.5 million, the non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was $14.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share. Special charges taken during the quarter were $0.5 million of residual restructuring charges related to the 2009 restructuring initiatives.
The fiscal 2009 fourth quarter results compare with a loss from continuing operations of $216.2 million, or $3.45 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Sequentially, the net loss was $25.7 million or $0.41 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2009. Excluding special charges, the net loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of the prior year was $10.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. Sequentially, the net loss for the third quarter excluding special charges, was $23.0 million or $0.37 per diluted share. Special charges are identified in a table to this release.
Adjusted Earnings (Loss) before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 was ($8.7) million, which compared to ($1.9) million in the prior year period and ($17.2) million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most nearly comparable GAAP measure follows the consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets and statements of cash flows attached to this release.
Effective working capital management and reduced levels of losses reduced the use of cash in operations in the quarter to $3.6 million. The Company closed the quarter with $110.5 million of cash and marketable securities.
Revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 were $218.7 million, a 58.4% decrease from the prior fiscal year revenues of $526.4 million. The net loss for the current fiscal year was $227.9 million, as compared to the prior year’s net loss of $235.9 million. Excluding special charges, the adjusted loss from continuing operations before special charges for fiscal 2009 and 2008 was $102.9 million or $1.64 per share and $21.8 million or $0.34 per share, respectively. Special charges are identified in the tables to this release.

Commenting on recent activities, Robert J. Lepofsky, President and Chief Executive Officer of Brooks stated, “We continue to see a sharp and continuing ramp in requirements from our semiconductor OEM customers. As previously announced, on top of the 46% increase in sales just reported we anticipate another increase in revenues in the December ending quarter that will exceed 45%. Based on current order booking activity and discussions with our major customers we have gained a growing confidence in projecting strong sales growth well into calendar year 2010. In addition, we presently anticipate converging on at least break even results in the current quarter and positive earnings for our full fiscal year.”
“Many of the investments we made in new product and market development initiatives during the business downturn are now beginning to have an impact” added Mr. Lepofsky. “We are currently working with several customers on new product platforms serving markets beyond our core semiconductor manufacturing equipment business. Combined with the continuing recovery of our base business we believe these new programs can accelerate our growth track well into next year and beyond.”
Brooks management will webcast its September quarter earnings conference today at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss the attached quarterly results and business highlights. During the call, Company management will respond to questions concerning, but not limited to, the Company’s financial performance, business conditions and industry outlook. Their responses could contain information that has not been previously disclosed.
Analysts, investors and members of the media can access the live broadcast available on Brooks’ website at www.brooks.com. The call will be archived on this website for convenient on-demand replay until Brooks reports fiscal 2010 first quarter results in early February, 2010.

Notes on Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
The information in this press release is for: internal managerial purposes; when publicly providing guidance on future results; and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. These financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management believes these financial measures provide an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations, that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our business. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single measure.
The press release includes financial measures which exclude the effects of charges associated with our non-cash impairment charges, restructuring programs and gains or losses on investments. Management believes these measures are useful to investors because it eliminates accounting charges that do not reflect Brooks’ day-to-day operations. A table reconciling income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations is presented below:
