ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
Mattson Technology, Inc. ("Mattson" or the "Company") designs, manufactures and
markets advanced fabrication equipment to semiconductor manufacturers worldwide.
The Company began operations in 1989 and shipped its first photoresist removal
product, the Aspen Strip, in 1991. The Company's current product line is based
on a modular Aspen platform which accommodates two process chambers supporting
increased throughput. The Company currently offers Strip, CVD and RTP processes
for this platform.
The Company has derived substantially all of its sales from Aspen Strip and CVD
systems. In addition, the Company derives sales from spare parts and
maintenance services.
The Company has experienced rapid growth and there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to continue sales growth or profitability. Future results
will depend on a variety of factors, including the timing of significant orders,
the ability of the Company to bring new systems to market, the timing of new
product releases by the Company's competitors, patterns of capital spending by
the Company's customers, market acceptance of new and/or enhanced versions of
the Company's systems, changes in pricing by the Company, its competitors,
customers, or suppliers, the mix of products sold and the cyclicality in the
semiconductor industry and the markets served by the Company's customers. The
Company is increasing its expense levels to support growth. As a result, the
Company is dependent upon continuous increases in sales in order to maintain
profitability. If the Company's sales do not increase, the expected higher
level of operating expenses could materially and adversely affect the financial
results of the Company.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements regarding, among
other matters, the Company's future strategy, product development plans, and
productivity gains and growth. The forward looking statements are made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Forward looking statements address matters which are subject to a number
of risks and uncertainties. In addition to the general risks associated with
the development of complex technology, future results of the Company will depend
on a variety of factors as described herein and in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth the statement of income data of the Company
expressed as a percentage of net sales for the period indicated:

---- ----
Net sales 100% 100%
Cost of sales 42% 48%

Gross margin 58% 52%

Operating expenses:
Research, development and engineering 12% 11%

Total operating expenses 36% 31%

Income from operations 22% 21%
Income before income taxes 25% 25%
Net income 16% 18%
NET SALES
Net sales for the first quarter of 1996 increased 133% to $22.0 million from
$9.4 million for the first quarter of 1995. Net sales increased as a result of a
70% increase in unit shipments and a 34% increase in average selling prices
(ASP's). Sales to date consist principally of single and dual chamber Aspen
Strip and CVD systems and to a lesser extent, spare parts and service revenue.
Higher ASP's have resulted primarily from increasing sales of the Company's dual
chamber Aspen Strip systems and, to a lesser extent, sales of the Aspen ICP
Strip and CVD systems.
International sales, which are predominantly to customers based in Japan and the
Pacific Rim (which includes Taiwan, Singapore and Korea), accounted for 87% and
98% of net sales for the first quarter of 1996 and 1995 respectively. All sales
are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company's operating results could be
materially and adversely affected by any loss of business from, the cancellation
of orders by, or decreases in prices of systems sold through Marubeni. The
Company anticipates that international sales will continue to account for a
significant portion of 1996 total net sales due primarily to orders from
customers in Japan and the Pacific Rim.
GROSS MARGIN
The Company's gross margin for the first quarter of 1996 increased to 58% from
52% for the first quarter of 1995. The increase was due to an increase in gross
margin on shipments through Marubeni as a result of the 1995 joint venture
agreement. In addition, gross margin increased as a result of increases in
volume which resulted in improved economies of scale, and a sales mix shift to
higher ASP products.
The Company's gross margin will continue to be affected by a variety of factors.
The Company's gross margin on international sales, other than sales through
Marubeni, is substantially the same as domestic sales. Sales to Marubeni
typically carry a lower gross margin as Marubeni is primarily responsible for
sales and support costs in Japan. As a result of the 1995 joint venture
agreement with Marubeni, gross margins increased in the first quarter of 1996 on
sales through Marubeni. However, the Company also incurred additional research,
development and engineering and marketing expenses primarily through the newly
established Japanese subsidiary, Mattson Technology Center K.K. ("MTC").
7
Although the Company has not offered substantial discounts on its systems to
date, the Company may face discounting pressures in the future which could
adversely affect gross margins. The Company's reliance on outside vendors
generally, and a sole or a limited group of suppliers in particular, involves
several risks, including a potential inability to obtain an adequate supply of
required components and reduced control over pricing and timely delivery of
components. Any inability to obtain adequate deliveries or any other
circumstance that would require the Company to seek alternative sources of
supply or to manufacture such components internally could delay the Company's
ability to ship its systems and could have a material adverse effect on the
Company, including an increase in the Company's cost of sales and therefore an
adverse impact on gross margin. In addition, new system introductions and
enhancements may also have an adverse effect on gross margin due to the
inefficiencies associated with manufacturing of new product lines.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING
Research, development and engineering expenses for the first quarter of 1996
were $2.6 million, or 12% of net sales, as compared to $1.0 million, or 11%, for
the first quarter of 1995. The increase in expenses for the first quarter of
1996 was primarily due to salaries and related expenses which increased to $1.3
million from $0.5 million for the first quarter of 1995 and engineering project
materials which increased to $0.5 million from $0.2 million for the first
quarter of 1995. The increase in salaries and related expenses was due to
hiring additional employees required to support the Company's growth. The
increase in engineering project materials expense was due to ongoing product
development. Expenses also increased due to the Company's joint venture in
Japan. The Company believes that substantial investment in research and
development is critical to maintaining a strong technological position in the
industry and therefore expects research and development expenses to continue to
increase in the foreseeable future.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1996 were
$5.3 million, or 24% of net sales, as compared to $1.9 million, or 20%, for the
first quarter of 1995. The increase in expenses for the first quarter of 1996
was primarily due to salaries, commissions and related expenses which increased
to $3.4 million from $1.4 million for the first quarter of 1995. The increase
in salaries, commissions and related expenses was due to the increase in sales
and hiring additional employees required to support the Company's growth.
Expenses also increased due to the Company's joint venture in Japan. The
Company expects selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to
increase in the foreseeable future.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company provided income taxes at the expected annual rate of 36% and 28% in
1996 and 1995 respectively. The Company's provision for income taxes in 1995
reflected utilization of tax loss carryforwards.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash used in operations during the first three months of 1996 was $0.9
million, compared to $2.0 million of net cash provided by operations during the
first three months of 1995. Net cash used in operations during the first three
months of 1996 was primarily attributable to increases in accounts receivable
and inventories of $5.1 and $2.6 million respectively offset by net income of
$3.5 million and increases in accrued liabilities of $3.2 million.
Net cash provided by investing activities during the first three months of 1996
was $12.2 million, compared to $2.7 million used in investing activities during
the first three months of 1995. Investing activities during the first three
months of 1996 consisted primarily of purchases and maturities of short-term
investments and acquisition of fixed assets.
The Company believes that existing cash and short-term investment balances along
with anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet the
Company's cash requirements during the next twelve months. However,
8
depending upon its rate of growth and profitability, the Company may require
additional equity or debt financing to meet its working capital requirements or
capital equipment needs. There can be no assurance that additional financing
will be available when required or, if available, will be on terms satisfactory
to the Company.
