ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains, in addition to historical information,
forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties. As a result, the Company's actual results may differ materially
from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that
could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to,
those discussed below and in the Company's 1996 annual report on Form 10-K.
In particular, the Company believes that the following factors could impact
forward-looking statements made herein or in future written or oral releases
and by hindsight, prove such statements to be overly optimistic and
unachievable: volatility of the semiconductor and semiconductor equipment
industries, customer concentration, dependence on design wins, rapid
technological change and dependence on new system introduction, competition,
and management of growth.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996
SALES
Sales for the third quarter of 1997 were $42.6 million, an increase of 97%
from third quarter of 1996 sales of $21.6 million. The increase in sales
between such periods has resulted from increased unit sales of the Company's
systems. A significant part of the unit sales increase was attributable to
increased demand by domestic semiconductor equipment customers, primarily the
Company's two largest customers, reflecting recovery in the semiconductor
equipment industry. Sales to data storage and flat panel display customers also
increased significantly. Sales to industrial and other markets were flat. Sales
in all geographic areas increased from the comparable quarter in 1996.
On August 15, 1997, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of
Tower Electronics, Inc. ("Tower"), a privately-held Minnesota-based
manufacturer of custom, low-power power supplies used principally in the
telecommunications, medical and non-contact printing markets. For the period of
August 15, 1997, through September 30, 1997 Tower accounted for $1.0 million of
the Company's consolidated sales.
GROSS MARGIN
The Company's gross margin for the third quarter of 1997 was 40.0%, up from
30.5% in the comparable period in 1996, and improved from 38.4% in the second
quarter of 1997. The increase in gross margin from the third quarter of 1996 to
the third quarter of
8
1997 was due to decreased material costs. Certain provisions for inventory
revaluation reserves made in the third quarter of 1996 were not required to
be made in the comparable period in 1997. Other reasons for the increase in
gross margin between the third quarter of 1996 and the third quarter of 1997
were more favorable absorption of infrastructure and customer service costs,
as a result of the higher sales base in 1997.
The Company sustained damage to its manufacturing facilities and certain
equipment during a severe rainstorm on July 29, 1997, which interrupted
production during the subsequent sixty day period. Immediately prior to the
rainstorm, the Company had been increasing its manufacturing overhead costs
through increased staffing in anticipation of higher sales levels. Due to the
impact of the storm, full production capabilities were underutilized resulting
in underabsorption of manufacturing overhead. The Company has since returned to
full production and continues to undertake measures to increase capacity to
meet demand.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's research and development expenses are incurred researching new
technologies, developing new products and improving existing product designs.
Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 1997 increased to
$4.1 million from $3.3 million in the comparable period in 1996, primarily as a
result of increased spending for new product development. As a percentage of
sales, research and development expenses decreased to 9.6% in the third quarter
of 1997 from 15.5% in the third quarter of 1996, as a result of the higher
sales base.
In connection with the acquisition of Tower on August 15, 1997, the Company
recorded a one-time charge of $3.1 million in the third quarter of 1997 for the
portion of the purchase price attributable to in-process research and
development costs.
The Company believes that continued research and development investment is
essential to ongoing development of new products. Since inception, all research
and development costs have been internally funded and expensed.
SALES AND MARKETING
Sales and marketing expenses support domestic and international sales and
marketing activities that include personnel, trade shows, advertising, and
other marketing activities. Sales and marketing expenses for the third quarter
of 1997 were $2.3 million, compared to $2.2 million in the third quarter of
1996, representing an increase of 5.8%. The increase was primarily due to
higher payroll costs. As a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expenses
decreased to 5.5% in the third quarter of 1997 from 10.2% in the third quarter
of 1996, as a result of the higher sales base.
9
The Company is in the process of reorganizing its sales and marketing team
to better address the specific needs of its customers. Sales and marketing
expenses are expected to continue to increase in future periods.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses support the worldwide financial,
administrative, information systems and human resources functions of the
Company. General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 1997 were
$1.9 million, compared to $0.9 million in the third quarter of 1996. In the
third quarter of 1996, the Company reduced accrued bonuses and other employee
benefits as part of its cost reduction efforts, which were one-time reductions
not made in the comparable period in 1997. As a percentage of sales, general
and administrative expenses increased slightly to 4.6% in the third quarter of
1997 from 4.3% in the third quarter of 1996, as a result of the higher sales
base.
The Company is in the process of implementing new information management
system software throughout the Company, including the replacement of existing
systems in its foreign locations. The Company expects that charges related to
training and implementation of the new software will continue into 1998,
particularly for the foreign locations.
ONE-TIME CHARGES
The Company took one-time charges totaling $6.1 million in the third quarter
of 1997. A charge of $3.0 million was taken for storm damage to the Company's
headquarters and main manufacturing facilities that resulted from heavy rains
in the Fort Collins area on July 29, 1997. The extent of insurance coverage, if
any, is unresolved. Any recoveries from the Company's insurance will be
recorded when received.
As part of the acquisition of Tower, the Company incurred a charge of $3.1
million for purchased in-process research and development, which is non-
deductible for income tax purposes.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Other income (expense) consists primarily of foreign exchange gains and
losses, interest income and expense and other miscellaneous income and expense
items. Other income was $0.1 million for the third quarter of 1997, unchanged
from the third quarter of 1996.
The majority of the Company's foreign sales are denominated in local
currencies. The Company has experienced fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates during the first half of 1997, particularly against the Japanese
Yen. As a hedge against currency fluctuations in the Japanese Yen, the Company
entered into various forward foreign exchange contracts during the first half
of 1997 to mitigate the effect of potential
10
depreciation in the Yen. The Company continues to evaluate various policies to
minimize the effects of currency fluctuations.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision of $2.1 million for the third quarter of 1997
represented an estimated effective rate of 80.6% compared to an effective
income tax rate for the year 1996 of 38.1%. The higher tax rate exceeds the
normal tax provision for the Company because certain charges, including the
$3.1 million one-time charge for purchased in-process research and development,
were not deductible. The Company adjusts its income taxes periodically based
upon the anticipated tax status of all foreign and domestic entities.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996
SALES
Sales for the first nine months of 1997 were $95.9 million, an increase of
22% from sales of $78.6 million in the comparable period in 1996. The Company's
increase in sales between such periods has resulted from increased unit sales
of the Company's systems during the third quarter of 1997. A significant part
of the sales increase is attributable to increased demand by domestic
semiconductor equipment customers, primarily the Company's larger customers,
reflecting the recovery in the semiconductor equipment industry from a downturn
in the second half of 1996 and the first half of 1997. Sales to the data
storage and flat panel display industries also increased between the periods
presented. Sales to customers in Japan increased 115% from the comparable
period in 1996.
GROSS MARGIN
The Company's gross margin for the first nine months of 1997 was 38.7%, an
increase from 37.3% in the comparable period in 1996. The increase in gross
margin between such periods was due primarily to lower infrastructure costs
associated with cost of goods sold. Cost improvements as a percentage of sales
were achieved to a lesser extent in materials, labor and customer support costs
largely because of the higher sales base. These improvements were partially
offset by a less favorable absorption of manufacturing overhead costs.
The Company sustained damage to its manufacturing facilities and certain
equipment during a severe rainstorm on July 29, 1997, which interrupted
production during the subsequent sixty day period. Immediately prior to the
rainstorm, the Company had been increasing its manufacturing overhead costs
through increased staffing in anticipation of higher sales levels. Due to the
impact of the storm, full production capabilities were underutilized resulting
in underabsorption of manufacturing overhead. The Company has
11
since returned to full production and continues to undertake measures to
increase capacity to meet demand.
The underabsorption of manufacturing overhead may continue to negatively
impact gross margin.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses for the first nine months of 1997 were
$10.4 million, down slightly from $10.5 million in the comparable period in
1996. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses decreased to
10.8% in the first nine months of 1997 from 13.3% in the comparable period in
1996, as a result of the higher sales base.
SALES AND MARKETING
Sales and marketing expenses for the first nine months of 1997 were $6.5
million, unchanged from the comparable period in 1996. As a percentage of
sales, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 6.7% in the first nine months
of 1997 from 8.3% in the comparable period in 1996, as a result of the higher
sales base.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses for the first nine months of 1997 were
$4.9 million, down slightly from $5.0 million in the comparable period in 1996.
As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 5.1%
in the first nine months of 1997 from 6.3% in the comparable period in 1996, as
a result of the higher sales base.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision of $4.6 million for the first nine months of 1997
represented an estimated effective rate of 50.3%, compared to $2.7 million and
an effective rate of 38.1% for the comparable period in 1996. The higher tax
rate exceeds the normal tax provision for the Company because certain charges,
including the $3.1 million one-time charge for purchased in-process research
and development, were not deductible. The Company adjusts its income tax
provisions periodically based upon the anticipated tax status of all foreign
and domestic entities.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations, acquired
equipment and met its working capital requirements through borrowings under its
revolving line of credit, long-term loans secured by property and equipment and
cash flow from operations, and, from November 1995, proceeds from its initial
public offering.
12
Cash provided by operations totaled $0.8 million for the first nine months
of 1997 compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 1996. Cash provided in
the first nine months of 1997 was primarily a result of net income plus
non-cash items affecting net income, and increases in accounts payable, offset
by increases in accounts receivable and inventories. Cash provided in the
comparable period in 1996 was primarily a result of net income offset by
decreases in accounts payable.
The major investing activity for the first nine months of 1997 occurred in
the third quarter and consisted of the acquisition of Tower, which used cash of
$12.1 million. Additionally, the Company purchased equipment, which used cash
of $2.7 million. Total investing activities for the first nine months of 1997
used cash of $14.8 million. In the comparable period in 1996, investing
activities used cash of $4.9 million and consisted of equipment purchases and
leasehold improvements made primarily as a result of the Company's move into a
new 56,000 square foot building during the first quarter of 1996.
Financing activities in the first nine months of 1997 provided cash of $12.1
million and consisted primarily of proceeds from notes payable of $12.0 million
and proceeds from notes receivable of $0.7 million offset by repayment of notes
payable and capital lease obligations. In the comparable period in 1996,
financing activities used cash of $0.4 million and consisted primarily of
repayment of notes payable and capital lease obligations.
The Company plans to spend approximately $1.4 million through the remainder
of 1997 for the acquisition of manufacturing and test equipment and
furnishings.
As of September 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $42.4 million.
The Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of $9.3 million of cash
and cash equivalents, and a credit facility consisting of a $10.0 million
revolving line of credit which replaced the Company's prior line of credit, a
$12.0 million term loan to finance the acquisition of Tower, and a $4.0 million
line of credit to acquire or refinance borrowings for equipment. Advances under
the new revolving line of credit bear interest at either the prime rate (8.5%
at October 31, 1997) minus 0.75% or the LIBOR six month rate (5.8125% at
October 31, 1997) plus 175 basis points, at the Company's option. All advances
under the revolving line of credit will be due and payable in August 1999. The
term loan was drawn in August 1997, in connection with the Tower acquisition,
and was repaid in full during October 1997. Prior to repayment, amounts
outstanding under the term loan bore interest at the prime rate minus 0.25%.
The term loan included a prepayment penalty of 0.75% of the amount of the
prepayment. Advances under the equipment line of credit bear interest at prime
rate minus 0.5%, with interest payable monthly through August 1998 and
quarterly thereafter until fully paid. The Company also has a pre-existing term
loan for equipment financing for its US operations. At September 30, 1997, $1.1
million was outstanding under the term loan, which bears interest at prime
minus 0.25% and is due November 5, 1999.
13
The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from
operations and available borrowings, will be sufficient to meet the Company's
working capital needs through mid-1998. After that time, the Company may
require additional equity or debt financing to address its working capital,
capital equipment, or expansion needs. In addition, any significant
acquisitions by the Company may require additional equity or debt financings to
fund the purchase price, if paid in cash. There can be no assurance that
additional funding will be available when required or that it will be available
on terms acceptable to the Company.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 1997, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of
1,000,000 shares of previously unissued common stock at a price of $31 per
share, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $28.8 million after
