Commenting on the results, Scott Kulicke, Chief Executive Officer, said, "In the June quarter our operations team did a terrific job ramping up production in response to the unprecedented customer demand we are currently experiencing. As a result, we were able to beat our revenue guidance, deliver strong financial performance and demonstrate the strength of our business model.

"Our equipment business grew almost 50% over the March quarter, driven by continued demand from both IDM and subcontractor customers, and across all application spaces. Especially noteworthy were ball bonder shipments for LED applications, which almost doubled over the March quarter, and heavy wire wedge bonder shipments which were up about 50% over the March quarter. We're also starting to see increasing demand from the memory segment. Lastly, the industry's transition to copper continues to be a strong driver of demand, and of our rising market share.

"Last month we commented that we had seen some volatility in our order book as one of our customers had pushed out some deliveries originally scheduled for the September quarter. I'm happy to report that that customer quickly reversed course and pulled some of those machines back into the quarter and that, as we predicted, we easily sold the rest of those delivery slots to other customers eager for capacity.

"We believe it is important for investors to understand that some volatility in our order book is normal, and does not detract from our confidence, based on orders already in hand, for both the September and December quarters. We expect September quarter revenue to be in the $250 million to $260 million range, and, while it is too early to provide December quarter guidance, we can say that we expect that quarter's revenue to be about comparable to September.

"Finally, let me point out that 2010's profitability and cash generation is allowing us to make significant improvements to our capital structure. When coupled with ball bonder market share expansion, continued penetration into the LED market, ongoing strength in the wedge bonder market and initial orders for our iStack die bonder, K&S has a solid foundation for ongoing success."

Key Product Trends

 

  • Ball bonder units and revenue were up approximately 50% over the March quarter.
    • Continued strong demand for the K&S copper solution; ball bonders configured for copper remain at approximately 60% of all ball bonder shipments.
    • LED ball bonder shipments almost doubled over March quarter levels.
  • Heavy wire wedge bonder demand continued to increase, with sales approximately 50% over the March quarter; further incremental demand is anticipated through the September quarter.
  • Our recently launched die bonder product continues to gain customer acceptance.

Financial Highlights

 

  • Revenue increased 44% sequentially, exceeding previous guidance by $16.3 million.
  • GAAP operating margin was 22.6%, or 24.9% on a non-GAAP basis.
  • GAAP net income was $49.1 million, up $27.9 million from the previous quarter.
  • GAAP diluted EPS was $0.65, up $0.37 from the previous quarter.
  • Continuing operations generated $27.7 million of net cash.
  • Completed redemption of $49.0 million in Convertible Subordinated Notes due June 30, 2010 using cash on hand.
  • Net revenue for the September quarter is expected to be in the $250 million to $260 million range, revenue of this magnitude is anticipated to follow in December.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP measures as a supplement to the consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes certain non-GAAP measures provide investors with an additional, useful perspective on the Company's performance as seen through the eyes of management. Management uses non-GAAP measures along with GAAP financial results for: analyzing the performance of the Company's businesses; strategic and tactical decision making; and determining compensation. The Company does not consider non-GAAP measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. All of the non-GAAP measures included herein are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP results in the following financial statements. These non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and some of the adjustments reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in the Company's GAAP financial results for the foreseeable future.

Exclusions from GAAP Results

The Company excludes the following from its GAAP results in presenting non-GAAP measures:

Equity-based compensation expenses The Company recognizes the fair value of its equity-based compensation in expense. Equity-based compensation consists of common stock, stock options and performance-based, market-based and time-based restricted stock granted under the Company's equity compensation plans. Equity-based compensation is a non-cash expense that can vary significantly in amount from period to period.

Other The exclusion of certain other non-GAAP amounts allows for improved comparisons of the Company's results to both prior periods and other companies. The Company excludes the following other items from non-GAAP measures as these items are not reflective of the performance of the Company's ongoing businesses:

 

  • Amortization of intangibles
  • Restructuring
  • Impairment of goodwill
  • Switzerland pension plan curtailment
  • Gain on extinguishment of debt
  • Non-cash interest expense
  • Net tax settlement expense (benefit) and other tax adjustments

Tax Adjustment Non-GAAP measures are tax adjusted using the GAAP tax rate associated with each quarterly period. The tax rate is calculated by dividing each quarter's GAAP tax expense (benefit), adjusted for discrete quarterly items, by the GAAP operating income (loss) for that quarter. Non-GAAP year-to-date measures are calculated by summing the associated quarterly non-GAAP measures, without further tax adjustments.

Non-GAAP Measures

The specific non-GAAP measures included herein are gross profit, gross margin, net income (loss), net margin, and earnings per share ("EPS"). The Company calculates these measures as follows:

--Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin K&S non-GAAP adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin exclude the effect of equity-based compensation expense recorded within cost of sales.

--AdjustedNet Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Margin and Adjusted EPS K&S non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted EPS exclude equity-based compensation; amortization of intangibles; restructuring; impairment of goodwill; Switzerland pension curtailment plan; gain on extinguishment of debt; non-cash interest expense; net tax settlement expense (benefit) and other tax adjustments; and related tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments.

(3) Adjusted current liabilities includes tax liabilities classified as current in prior periods but reclassed to long term liabilities as a result of our adoption of ASC 740.10 during the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

(4) ROIC calculated as adjusted income from operations, annualized through multiplying the current quarter's income from operations by 4, then divided by adjusted net invested capital. Adjusted income from operations is not intended to forecast the Company's future income from operations.
