SECOND QUARTER BOOKINGS INCREASE TO $100 MILLION
BILLERICA, Mass., July 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GSI Group Inc.,
(Nasdaq: GSIG), a supplier of precision technology and semiconductor systems,
today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006.
Revenue for the quarter rose to $76.4 million, compared to revenue of $66.9
million for the same period of 2005. Net income for the quarter was $6.2
million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to net income for the same period
in 2005 of $3.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share.
Year to date revenues of $152.5 million are up 16% from this time last
year. Year to date fully diluted earnings per share have more than tripled the
level of last year from $0.08 cents to $0.27 cents.
The Company also welcomes its new CEO, Dr. Sergio Edelstein who replaces
Mr. Charles Winston, who is retiring after 18 years. Dr. Edelstein commented, "I
am excited to join GSI. My decision to join was based on the strength of the
Company's technologies, its solid customer base and GSI's strong financial
foundation built by Mr. Winston. GSI is extremely well positioned for future
growth and my focus will be on driving this growth."
Second Quarter Business Highlights:
-- The Precision Technology Business increased revenue to $50 million, up
11% from the same period last year. GSI recently unveiled several new
Precision Technology products and design strategies during the quarter
including a precision motion feedback platform that will, over time,
triple the size of its served market in this key area. These new
products build on the success of the current Precision Technology
products by broadening the number of applications served.
-- The Semiconductor Systems Business revenue increased to $29 million,
up 22% from the same period last year largely due to strength in all
product lines. GSI is also developing its next generation Wafer Repair
system with the throughput and accuracy required for next generation
memory devices, positioning GSI for future market share gains.
-- Total Company bookings were $100 million, backlog was $92.7 million
and the book-to-bill ratio was 1.3.
-- Cash, cash equivalents and marketable short-term investments increased
$6.5 million to $115.3 million, from $108.8 million in the first
quarter.
Business Outlook:
The Company anticipates the following results for the third quarter of
2006:
-- Revenue to be in the range of $77.0 million to $83.0 million.
-- Estimated tax rate at 30%.
-- Diluted per share earnings to be in the range of $0.13 to $0.17.
