GSI Group Announces Financial Results for the First Quarter 2011
- First Quarter 2011 Revenue of $91.9 million
- First Quarter 2011 Adjusted EBITDA of $16.2 million
- First Quarter 2011 EPS of $0.19
BEDFORD, Mass., May 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- GSI Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GSIG) (the "Company" or "GSI"), a global leader and supplier of laser-based solutions, precision motion controls and other technologies, and semiconductor systems to global industrial, electronics, medical, and semiconductor markets, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2011, ended April 1, 2011.
First Quarter Results
During the first quarter of 2011, GSI generated revenue of $91.9 million, down 20% from $114.6 million in the same period a year ago. However, in the first quarter of 2010 the Company had recognized $41.4 million of revenue in its Semiconductor Systems business that had been deferred from orders placed by customers prior to 2009. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company only recognized $0.4 million of such deferred revenue.
Furthermore, the Company recognized $2.1 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2011 that had been deferred under multiple-element arrangements, delivered over multiple periods, entered into prior to the adoption of ASU 2009-13. ASU 2009-13 amended the revenue recognition guidance for multi-element arrangements. Following the Company's adoption of ASU 2009-13 in the first quarter of 2011, the Company did not defer any revenue, on new orders placed in the quarter, related to multiple element arrangements, delivered over multiple periods.
"Our first quarter results were strong and exceeded our expectations. All three of our businesses made positive contributions to our performance. The Company continues to strengthen our organization and build momentum. This has given us increased confidence with respect to the full year outlook," said John Roush, Chief Executive Officer.
Earnings per share ("EPS"), for the first quarter of 2011, were $0.19, down from $0.38 in the first quarter of 2010; the decline was largely due to the change in the weighted average shares outstanding as a result of the rights offering and debt for equity exchange. Adjusted EBITDA, which includes the adjustments noted in the reconciliation below, was $16.2 million in the first quarter of 2011, down from $27.3 million in the first quarter of 2010. However, Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2010 included $17.4 million of gross profit from the $41.4 million of deferred Semiconductor Systems revenue. In comparison, Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2011 included $1.2 million of gross profit from the aggregate of $0.4 million of deferred Semiconductor Systems revenue and $2.1 million of revenue that had been deferred under multiple-element arrangements, delivered over multiple periods, entered into prior to the adoption of ASU 2009-13.
Cash on hand at April 1, 2011 was $61.3 million versus $56.8 million as of December 31, 2010. Cash flow from operations in the first quarter of 2011 was $5.6 million versus $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.
"The strong operating results and cash flows in the quarter are creating new opportunities for the Company and enabling us to invest for profitable growth," said Mr. Roush. "It is our intent to refinance our existing debt, which we hope to complete in the third quarter of 2011," added Mr. Roush.
Financial Overview by Reporting Segment
As a result of the Company's review of its operating structure and strategic growth plans, the Company realigned its internal organization into three distinct operating divisions during the three months ended April 1, 2011. Consequently, the composition of the Company's reportable segments also changed to match this new internal divisional structure. "We believe this new structure allows us to better prioritize our investments, align resources to meet the demands of the markets we service, and optimize performance across businesses with common technologies, customers, and end-markets," Mr. Roush commented.
Following the realignment of its internal organization, the Company operates in three reportable business segments: Laser Products, Precision Motion and Technologies and Semiconductor Systems. The Company's reportable segment financial information has been restated to reflect the updated reportable segment structure for all periods presented. The following sets forth external revenue and gross profit by reportable segment for the periods noted.
Laser Products:
- 2011 first quarter revenue was $30.7 million, as compared to $28.4 million for the first quarter of 2010, an increase of 8%.
- First quarter gross profit was $10.8 million, reflecting a 35% gross margin, as compared to $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2010, reflecting a 38% gross margin.

- However, in the first quarter of 2010 the Company recognized $41.4 million of revenue in our Semiconductor Systems business, whereas in the first quarter of 2011 the Company recognized $0.4 million of revenue that had been deferred from orders placed by customers prior to 2009.
- First quarter gross profit was $5.2 million, reflecting a 49% gross margin, as compared to $17.5 million in the first quarter of 2010, reflecting a 38% gross margin.

Financial Guidance
For the second quarter of 2011, the Company expects revenue to be in the range of $94 to $99 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2011 is expected to be in the range of $16 to $19 million. This guidance includes approximately $3 million of expected revenue and approximately $1.5 million of expected gross profit that had been deferred from multiple-element arrangements, delivered over multiple periods, entered into prior to the adoption of ASU 2009-13 and which is expected to be recognized in the quarter.
For the full year 2011, the Company expects revenues in the range of $375 to $385 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year is expected to range from $68 million to $73 million. This guidance includes approximately $8 million of expected revenue and approximately $4 million of expected gross profit recognized that had been deferred from multiple-element arrangements, delivered over multiple periods, entered into prior to the adoption of ASU 2009-13 and which is expected to be recognized during the year.

Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA*
(In thousands of U.S. dollars)
Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's operating results because it excludes amounts that management does not consider part of operating results when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the Company, as well as non-cash share-based compensation. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA allows it to readily view operating trends and perform analytical comparisons. Accordingly, the Company believes this non-GAAP measure provides greater transparency and insight into management's method of analysis. While management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information, it is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under U.S. GAAP, and therefore, it should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, other GAAP financial measures such as income (loss) from operations or net loss.

* Reconciliation of a GAAP to a non-GAAP financial measure. |
|||||||
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as the net income (loss) attributable to GSI Group, Inc. before deducting interest expense, net of interest income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash share-based compensation and other non-operating charges, including reorganization items, restructuring costs, restatement costs, and other non-recurring items, such as foreign exchange gains/losses, equity earnings, and the sales of auction rate securities. Reorganization items, restructuring costs and restatement costs include costs incurred in connection with the Company's 2009 bankruptcy filing, the filing of the joint Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, administration of the bankruptcy, confirmation of the plan of reorganization and the debt restructuring and the review and investigation of revenue transactions examined in connection with the restatement of the Company's 2004 through 2008 financial statements. Where outside professionals provided both services typically provided by employees as well as services defined above, the Company has allocated the expenses between operating costs and reorganization costs, reorganization items and restatement costs. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
The non-GAAP financial measures described above are not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are material limitations associated with non- GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges that have an effect on our reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate our financial results. Management compensates and believes that investors should compensate for these limitations by viewing the non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings announcement may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similar measures used by other companies.
The non-GAAP financial measures listed above are also used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, communicate our financial results to our Board of Directors, benchmark our results against our historical performance and the performance of our peers, evaluate investment opportunities including acquisitions and discontinued operations, and determine the bonus payments for senior management and employees.
