SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 19, 2005--Cymer, Inc.
(Nasdaq:CYMI), the world's leading supplier of deep ultraviolet (DUV)
light sources used in semiconductor manufacturing, today announced
operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005. Second
quarter total revenue and gross margin exceeded Cymer's April 19, 2005
guidance. Highlights of the second quarter included higher than
expected non-systems revenue, as well as generation of $34,479,000 in
cash from operations, and the successful execution of the company's
stock and convertible note repurchase programs. Additionally, Cymer
announced earlier today the formation of the TCZ joint venture with
Carl Zeiss SMT, AG, to provide production tools to the flat panel
display manufacturing industry.
For the second quarter of 2005, net income totaled $11,015,000,
equal to $0.30 per share (diluted), compared to net income of
$10,201,000, equal to $0.27 per share (diluted), in the second quarter
of 2004, and to net income of $5,385,000, equal to $0.14 per share
(diluted), in the first quarter of 2005.
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2005 rose to $96,392,000
compared to total revenue of $94,907,000 posted in the second quarter
of 2004, and increased 14 percent sequentially over $84,810,000 in
total revenue in the first quarter of 2005.
For the first six months of 2005, net income totaled $16,400,000,
equal to earnings of $0.45 per share (diluted) compared to net income
of $17,357,000, equal to earnings of $0.46 per share (diluted), in the
first six months of 2004. Total revenue for the first six months of
2005 was $181,202,000, compared to $182,828,000 in total revenue
recorded in the first six months of 2004.
Other Income (Expense) in the second quarter and first half of
2005 was positively impacted by a gain on debt extinguishment of
$2,220,000 related to the repurchase of approximately $60 million of
the company's convertible subordinated notes during the second quarter
of 2005. On a net income basis, the gain amounted to approximately
$0.06 per share (diluted) for the second quarter.
Commenting on the second quarter, Bob Akins, Cymer's chief
executive officer, said, "We are pleased that second quarter 2005
operating results came in ahead of our expectations, and with the
continuing robust acceptance of our product offerings. Our market
leadership position at 193nm continued with strong shipments of our
XL Series products in the quarter -- a total of 26 systems. We
received multiple purchase orders for the XLA 200, our third
generation dual chamber MOPA ArF light source, and received our first
purchase orders for the XLA 300, the fourth generation in this product
line that we introduced last week at SEMICON West, and which is
scheduled to begin shipping in the final quarter of this year.
"We recognized revenue on 56 light sources in the second quarter
of 2005 compared to 48 light sources in the first quarter of this
year," Akins continued. "Cymer installed 77 new light sources in the
second quarter compared to 67 light sources in the first quarter of
2005.
"With chipmakers focused on filling out 90nm production lines and
preparing for the ramp up of 65nm production which will occur in 2006
or 2007 for most manufacturers, technology buys remained the main
driver of system demand in the second quarter. Our second quarter
average selling price (ASP) was $941,000 on a currency adjusted
basis," Akins stated. "The quarterly average utilization of our light
sources at chipmakers in the second quarter increased nearly 5 percent
over the previous quarter's average utilization, and drove non-systems
product revenue, which consists of consumables and spare parts,
upgrades, and service, to $41,000,000, for the second quarter, equal
to 43 percent of total revenue."
Nancy Baker, Cymer's chief financial officer, stated, "Product
gross margin in the second quarter of 2005 was 40 percent compared to
37 percent in the first quarter of 2005. Cymer recorded operating
income of $8,925,000, or 9 percent of revenue in the second quarter of
2005, compared to operating income of $5,077,000, or 6 percent of
revenue, in the first quarter of 2005," Baker continued. "Second
quarter 2005 bookings totaled $96,368,000, resulting in a second
quarter 2005 book-to-bill ratio of 1.0. The 2005 second quarter-end
backlog totaled $75,751,000."
Cymer generated $34,479,000 in cash from operations in the second
quarter of 2005 compared to $44,473,000 in the first quarter of 2005,
and cash generated from operations in the first six months of 2005
totaled $78,952,000. Cash and cash equivalents and short- and
long-term investments totaled $342,332,000 at June 30, 2005.
Baker stated, "Capital spending for the second quarter of 2005
totaled $2,669,000 compared to $5,180,000 in the first quarter of
2005. Our free cash flow for the second quarter, calculated as the net
cash provided by operating activities less our acquisition of property
and equipment, was $31,810,000, and for the first six months of 2005,
free cash flow totaled $71,103,000. In addition to our repurchase of
approximately $60 million worth of our convertible notes during the
second quarter, we also repurchased approximately 1.7 million shares
of Cymer's common stock in the open market for a total of
approximately $41.7 million."
Corporate Outlook
Commenting on Cymer's outlook, Akins noted, "At SEMICON West last
week, the overall tone of the show was mixed, with some equipment
companies indicating that their business had leveled off and that they
expected orders to improve late this year. Though chipmakers for the
most part continue to make strategic purchases for their 300mm fabs to
fill out their 90nm production lines, and prepare for the coming
transition to the 65nm node, certain segments have slowed as they
install equipment ordered in recent quarters. Specific to Cymer, while
the second quarter pickup in our light source utilization rates is
encouraging, until overall fab utilization increases from its current
level in the high 80 percent range and is sustained at levels well
above 90 percent we would expect business to remain at or near its
current levels."
Based on information available at this time, Cymer is currently
providing the following guidance for the third quarter of 2005, which
includes expectations for the financial impact of the recently
announced joint venture:
-- We currently estimate that total product revenue in the third
quarter of 2005 should be flat to down approximately five
percent compared to second quarter 2005 revenue.
-- We are forecasting that foreign currency adjusted ASPs should
be approximately $940,000.
-- We expect that gross margin should be between 38 and 40
percent.
-- We anticipate that R&D expenses should be between $16.5
million and $17.5 million.
-- We expect SG&A expenses to be between $13.0 million and $13.5
million.
-- We currently estimate the third quarter 2005 annualized
effective tax rate to be approximately 9 percent. U.S. GAAP
requirements prevent recognizing certain expected tax benefits
until the quarter in which they occur. With the realization of
anticipated discrete fourth quarter events, we expect that our
annual effective tax rate will return to approximately 0
percent for 2005 by year-end.
Cymer's management will hold a conference call at 2:00 pm (PDT)
today, July 19, 2005, to discuss second quarter 2005 results and third
quarter 2005 guidance, and to answer questions regarding the formation
of the TCZ joint venture announced today. This press release, the
conference call and accompanying slides may be accessed on the
