KLA-Tencor Reports Fiscal 2008 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

MILPITAS, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- KLA-Tencor Corporation (NASDAQ: KLAC) today announced operating results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended on June 30, 2008. The Company reported GAAP net income of $76 million and GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.43 on revenue of $591 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. For the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company reported GAAP net income of $359 million and GAAP earnings per diluted share of $1.95 on revenue of $2.5 billion.



"This was a year of solid execution for KLA-Tencor in a tough overall market environment. We expanded our potential market opportunity through the acquisition of ICOS Vision Systems, and delivered good operating performance in a very challenging demand environment. Our strong performance in the face of these challenges reflects the strength of our market leadership, the superior value we deliver to our customers in helping them meet their yield demands, and the resilience of the KLA-Tencor team," said Rick Wallace, CEO of KLA-Tencor.

             Q4 FY 2008   Q3 FY 2008  Q4 FY 2007
Revenues          $ 591 million $ 602 million $ 736 million
Net Income         $ 76 million  $ 111 million $ 147 million

             Q4 FY 2008   Q3 FY 2008  Q4 FY 2007
Net Income         $ 107 million $ 121 million $ 179 million

A reconciliation between GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income is provided following the financial statements that are part of this release. Non-GAAP results include the impact of stock-based compensation, but exclude the impact of acquisition, restatement or restructuring related items.



Highlights for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008

-- Completed the acquisition of ICOS Vision Systems Corporation NV, a leading supplier of packaging and interconnect inspection solutions for the semiconductor industry, as well as a leader in the inspection of photovoltaic solar technologies and LED lighting products.

-- Completed the issuance of $750 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due May 1, 2018, with a coupon of 6.90%.

-- Declared and paid dividends of $26 million and repurchased 2.9 million shares for $122 million under the previously authorized repurchase program

-- Announced that the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 15 million shares of the Company's common stock.

-- Generated cash flow from operations of $188 million.

-- Introduced Wafer Plane Inspection (WPI), a mask inspection technology that provides the unique versatility in a single system to find defects on a mask and also show the defects that will print on the wafer. WPI is able to overcome yield-critical 32nm mask defect challenges and can also operate up to 40% faster than previous inspection systems, potentially reducing the percentage of total mask manufacturing time devoted to inspection.

-- Introduced Archer 200(TM), the Company's latest overlay metrology system featuring an enhanced optical system that provides significant performance improvements that are critical to help customers meet the much tighter overlay requirements for double-patterning lithography at the 32nm design rule node.

KLA-Tencor will discuss its fiscal 2008 fourth quarter results, along with its outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, on a conference call today beginning at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time. A webcast of the call will be available at: www.kla-tencor.com

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we provide certain non-GAAP financial information, which is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain costs and expenses, as well as other supplemental information. The non-GAAP and supplemental information is provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our operating performance and our prospects in the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP information provides useful measures to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial performance by excluding certain costs and expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. The non-GAAP information is among budgeting and planning tools that management uses for future forecasting. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with United States GAAP.

(a) Acquisition related charges include impairment and amortization of intangible assets, inventory fair value adjustments, in-process research and development associated with acquisitions, asset impairment from discontinuing acquired products as well as making acquired products available for sale, and realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from the Euro call option contracts related to the Company's acquisition of ICOS Vision Systems Corporation NV. Management believes that the expense associated with the impairment and amortization of acquisition related intangible assets is appropriate to be excluded because a significant portion of the purchase price for acquisitions may be allocated to intangible assets that have short lives, and exclusion of the amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both the Company's newly acquired and long-held business. Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude asset impairment from discontinuing acquired products as well as gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts associated with business acquisitions as they are not indicative of ongoing operating results and therefore limit comparability. Management believes excluding these items helps investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies.

(b) Restructuring, severance and other includes gains and costs associated with facilities divestment program, worldwide reduction in force, gains from sale of facilities and one-time inventory write-off associated with the disposal of service inventory in excess of future needs. Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude those items as they are not indicative of ongoing operating results and therefore limit comparability. Management believes excluding these items helps investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies.

(c) Restatement related charges include compensation related to reimbursement of non-executive employees for penalty taxes under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as legal and other expenses related to the stock option investigation, shareholder litigation and related matters. Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude those items as they are not indicative of ongoing operating results and therefore limit comparability. Management believes excluding these items helps investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies.

(d) Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments includes the income tax effects of the excluded items noted above. Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude the tax effects of the items noted above in order to present a more meaningful measure of non-GAAP net income.

(e) Non recurring tax items includes the U.S. tax impact associated with the implementation of our global manufacturing strategy and a benefit from revision of the amount of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries considered to be permanently reinvested outside the United States. Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude these items as it limits comparability. Management believes excluding these items helps investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies.
