      Management Comments
      "We are very pleased with the results of our first quarter of 2021 as we continued our trajectory of strong profitable growth," commented Steve Schwartz, president and CEO. "Our life sciences business had another exceptional quarter, driven by both product and services offerings. Semiconductor remains robust and is poised to accelerate in the second quarter given a healthy order backlog and market tailwinds."

      Summary of GAAP Results
      First Quarter, Fiscal 2021

      • Revenue for the first quarter was $250 million, up 19% year over year, supported by growth in both Life Sciences and Semiconductor Solutions. Diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.36 per share compared to $0.18 per share in the first quarter of 2020.
      • Life Sciences revenue of $118 million grew 29% year over year. Year-over-year organic growth was 32%. Life Sciences Products grew 53% year over year, and Life Sciences Services grew 17%. Life Sciences Services increased 28%, excluding the effect of the recent exit of the RUCDR alliance.
      • Semiconductor Solutions revenue was $131 million, an increase of 11% year over year.
      • GAAP operating income was $31 million, compared to $11 million in the first quarter of 2020. GAAP operating margin was 12.4%, up 730 basis points year over year.

      Summary of Non-GAAP Results for Continuing Operations
      First Quarter, Fiscal 2021

      • Diluted EPS for the first quarter was $0.47, up 108% year over year.
      • Operating income was $44 million, an increase of 99% year over year, and operating margin was 17.5%, up 710 basis points year over year. Gross margin of 46.3% was up 470 basis points year over year and was the primary contributor to the operating margin improvement. Year-over-year gross margin expansion in both Life Sciences and Semiconductor Solutions drove this improvement.
      • Life Sciences operating margin was 18.8%, up from 6.5% in the prior year. The year-over-year improvement was driven by gross margin of 50.2%, up 590 basis points year over year. An additional 640 basis points improvement came from the leverage of operating expense which grew only 7% to support the 29% revenue growth. The 590 basis point year-over-year improvement in Life Sciences gross margin was driven by the Products business, up 310 basis points, and the Services business, up 790 basis points. The favorable mix effect of unwinding the RUCDR alliance agreement drove 210 basis points of the total Life Sciences business gross margin improvement while 380 basis points of the increase was due to performance improvement.
      • Semiconductor Solutions operating margin was 16.4%, an increase of 380 basis points from the prior year. Gross margin was 42.8%, up 320 basis points year over year, primarily driven by growth and favorable mix in vacuum robots compared to the prior year.
      • Adjusted EBITDA was $58 million, up 81% from the first quarter of 2020 and 7% sequentially.

      A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most nearly comparable GAAP measures follows the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows included in this release.

      Cash and Liquidity

      • Cash flow from operations was $44 million for the quarter, an increase of $18 million year over year.
      • The Company ended the first fiscal quarter of 2021 with a total balance of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities of $323 million. With total debt of $50 million, net cash was $272 million.

      Quarterly Cash Dividend
      The Company additionally announced that the Board of Directors has reiterated a dividend of $0.10 per share payable on March 26, 2021 to stockholders of record on March 5, 2021.  Future dividend declarations, as well as the record and payment dates for such dividends, are subject to the final determination of the Company's Board of Directors.

      Guidance for Second Quarter Fiscal 2021

      Regulation G – Use of Non-GAAP financial Measures
      The Company supplements its GAAP financial measures with certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors a better perspective on the results of business operations, which the Company believes is more comparable to the similar analysis provided by its peers.  These measures are not presented in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. These measures should always be considered in conjunction with appropriate GAAP measures.  A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most nearly comparable GAAP measures is included at the end of this release following the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows.

      Notes on Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
      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 adjusted the GAAP results for the impact of amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, purchase price accounting adjustments and charges related to M&A to provide investors better perspective on the results of operations which the Company believes is more comparable to the similar analysis provided by its peers. Management also excludes special charges and gains, such as impairment losses, gains and losses from the sale of assets, as well as other gains and charges that are not representative of the normal operations of the business. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single measure.
