Management Comments
"Our Q3 results were consistent with our guidance and continue to reflect our strong position in the foundry segment," said Eitan Oppenhaim, President and CEO. "The value of our broad base of foundry customers is quite apparent as they ramp up their 2X nm technology nodes, putting us on track for another year in which we outperform the industry and report record revenues."
"We are also achieving our objective of expanding into additional process steps, in addition to multiple technology nodes, as evidenced by the recent selections of our systems as process tool of record for multiple process steps including CMP and Etch."
"Our strong bookings in Q3 reflect the intensive ramp up that our customers are experiencing, as well as our success in achieving early engagement with our customers as they accelerate the transition to advanced technology nodes. In Q3, we also announced a new memory customer, indicating progress toward our goal of improving our presence in this segment. We are very pleased with the progress we had this quarter with our key business initiatives, which positions us very well towards 2014."

This press release provides financial measures that exclude non-cash charges for stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes expenses, income from insurance claim and loss related to equipment and inventory damage and are therefore not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
