Nova Announces 2012 Second Quarter Results
REHOVOT, Israel, July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Nova Measuring Instruments Ltd. (Nasdaq: NVMI), provider of leading edge stand alone metrology and the market leader of integrated metrology solutions to the semiconductor process control market, today reported its 2012 second quarter results.
Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2012
- Quarterly revenues of $27.1 million, up 20% over the first quarter of 2012
- Blended gross margin of 54%
- GAAP Net income of $3.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share
- Non-GAAP Net income of $5.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share
- Positive cash flow from operations of $4.5 million
Management Comments
"Our results during the second quarter exceeded the high end of our revenues and earnings per share guidance," said Gabi Seligsohn, President and CEO of Nova. "Our ability to outperform the industry during the quarter is attributed to our strong position in the market segments that are experiencing the highest demand, and which are facing the most challenging process yield requirements.
"The need for additional foundry capacity and yield improvement at 28nm continued to drive strong demand for our solutions. Looking ahead, we expect process control to continue to account for a higher share of overall capital expenditures as foundries are planning a move to 20nm, 14nm and beyond, with associated process complexity and yield requirements. We also believe that these manufacturing and development complexities will continue to drive foundry customers towards buying fully configured tools with significant software content.
"We are able to fully capitalize on current demand because we invested aggressively in 28nm technology three years ago and followed with good execution. We have already announced several wins for the more advanced process nodes and enjoy good traction with our recently announced products as well", Mr. Seligsohn noted. "In addition, during the past several months, we have identified additional areas in which we plan to further invest, in order to remain at the forefront of this dynamic industry. Our strong relationships and track record of execution, combined with a further ramp in research and development expenses during the second half of the year, will position us for future growth, while also remaining solidly profitable."
2012 Third Quarter Guidance
For the third quarter of 2012, management expects revenues of $23.0-$25.5 million, with operating margins of 3%-10%, and with GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.02-$0.10.
On a Non-GAAP basis, which excludes adjustments of deferred income tax assets and stock based compensation expenses, management expects diluted earnings per share of $0.04-$0.12 for the third quarter of 2012.
2012 Second Quarter Results
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were $27.1 million, a decrease of 9% relative to the second quarter of 2011, and an increase of 20% relative to the first quarter of 2012.
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2012 was 54%, compared with 58% in the second quarter of 2011 and 56% in the first quarter of 2012.
Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2012 were $9.9 million, compared with $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $9.3 million in the first quarter of 2012.
On a GAAP basis, the company reported net income of $3.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012. This compares to a net income of $9.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011, and a net income of $2.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2012.
On a Non-GAAP basis, which excludes deferred income tax expenses and stock based compensation expenses, the company reported net income of $5.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012. This compares to a net income of $9.4 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011, and a net income of $4.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2012.
