Rudolph Technologies Third Quarter 2019 GAAP Financial Results

Third quarter revenue totaled $62.9 million, an increase of 2% compared with $61.5 million for the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 4% compared to $60.4 million in the 2018 third quarter. Gross profit margin was 50.1% of revenues in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease from 51.9% in the second quarter of 2019 and 52% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross profit margin from the 2019 second quarter was driven mainly by product mix which included lower software and metal metrology sales, as well as a lithography tool sale in the quarter which typically carries lower product margins.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2019 totaled $26.2 million, compared to $26.5 million in the second quarter of 2019 and $23.8 million in the third quarter of 2018. Operating expenses represented 42% of revenue in the 2019 third quarter compared to 43% of revenue in the second quarter and 39% of revenue in the 2018 third quarter. The decrease in operating expenses over the second quarter was primarily due to lower research and development expenses. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to costs related to the merger with Nanometrics.

GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2019 was $6.6 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the 2019 second quarter and net income of $7.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the 2018 third quarter. The increase in GAAP net income over the second quarter was primarily due an increase in foreign currency gains and lower income tax expense.

Rudolph Technologies Third Quarter Non-GAAP Financial Results

Third quarter 2019 non-GAAP net income was $9.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, as detailed in the attached table. Second quarter 2019 non-GAAP net income was $9.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, and third quarter 2018 non-GAAP net income was $8.5 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. Non-GAAP results exclude merger-related expenses, share-based compensation expense and the amortization of intangible assets.

Nanometrics Third Quarter 2019 GAAP Financial Results

Third quarter revenue totaled $73.1 million, an increase of 8% compared with $67.6 million for the second quarter of 2019 and down 5% from $76.6M in the third quarter of 2018. Gross profit margin was 52.9% of revenues in the third quarter of 2019 compared to 52.0% in the second quarter of 2019 and 57.0% in the year ago period. The increase in gross profit margin from the second quarter of 2019 was driven mainly by product mix.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2019 totaled $32.7 million, compared to $31.4 million in the second quarter of 2019 and $29.4 million for the third quarter of 2018. Operating expenses represented 45% of revenue in the 2019 third quarter compared to 47% of revenue in the second quarter of 2019 and 38% in the third quarter of 2018. The increase in operating expenses over the prior quarter was primarily due to expenses related to the merger with Rudolph Technologies.

GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2019 was $4.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared with a net income of $3.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the 2019 second quarter and net income of $11.6 million or $0.47 per diluted share, for the 2018 third quarter. The increase in GAAP net income over the prior quarter was due to the higher operating income offset by a higher tax rate in the quarter.

Nanometrics Third Quarter Non-GAAP Financial Results

Third quarter 2019 non-GAAP net income was $7.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share detailed in the attached table. Second quarter of 2019, non-GAAP net income was $5.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted share and third quarter 2018, non-GAAP net income was $11.4 million, or $0.47 per diluted share. Non-GAAP results exclude merger and acquisition related expenses, severance costs, executive transition and search costs, gain on sale of property, amortization of intangible assets and certain discrete tax and other items.

Onto Innovation Combined Company Guidance

Onto Innovation’s fourth quarter results will not include the full results of both companies. Instead the fourth quarter results will comprise the full quarter results of Rudolph Technologies and partial results of Nanometrics from the date of the merger (October 25, 2019) to the end of the quarter per generally accepted accounting principles. As such, our guidance for the 2019 fourth quarter is as follows:

  • Fourth quarter 2019 revenue is expected to be $117 million, plus or minus 5%, excluding Nanometrics’ October revenue of $14 million that preceded the merger in the fourth quarter.
  • The Company is also expecting diluted GAAP net loss per share to be in the range of ($0.48) to ($0.30) which is anticipated to include merger-related expenses between $28 and $25 million, respectively. The merger-related expenses will include investment banking advisory, attorney and auditor fees, severance, accelerated stock compensation expense, inventory write-offs and other items. Also included in the GAAP net loss per share will be an increase in amortization for purchased intangibles.
  • Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.32 to $0.42 per share.
  • Shares outstanding subsequent to the merger are approximately 50 million. Weighted average shares used in the calculation of the fourth quarter net income per diluted share will be approximately 43.5 million, which excludes the pro-rata fourth quarter Nanometrics’ shares prior to the merger closing date.
  • Reiteration of expected $20 million in annualized cost synergies exiting 2020.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Both companies prior to completion of the merger used certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS, which exclude amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, certain acquisition-related expenses and benefits, and significant legal-related charges or benefits and associated legal costs and in the case of Rudolph Technologies, share-based compensation. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS can also exclude certain other gains and losses that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability, tax provisions/benefits related to the previous items, and significant discrete tax events. We exclude the above items because they are outside of our normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.

We utilize several different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, in making operating decisions, forecasting and planning for future periods, and determining payments under compensation programs. We consider the use of the non-GAAP measures to be helpful in assessing the performance of the ongoing operation of our business. We believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance. We also believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. More specifically, management adjusts for the excluded items for the following reasons:

Amortization of purchased intangible assets: we do not acquire businesses and assets on a predictable cycle. The amount of purchase price allocated to the purchased intangible assets and the term of amortization can vary significantly and are unique to each acquisition or purchase. We believe that excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets allows the users of our financial statements to better review and understand the historic and current results of our operations, and also facilitates comparisons to peer companies.

Acquisition-related expenses and benefits: we incur expenses or benefits with respect to certain items associated with our acquisitions, such as transaction costs, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, gain or expense on settlement of pre-existing relationships, etc. We exclude such expenses or benefits as they are related to acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the operation of our on-going business.

Significant litigation charges or benefits and legal costs: we may incur charges or benefits as well as legal costs in connection with litigation and other contingencies unrelated to our core operations. We exclude these charges or benefits, when significant, as well as legal costs associated with significant legal matters, because we do not believe they are reflective of on-going business and operating results.

Share-based compensation expense (Rudolph Technologies only): we incur expenses related to employee restricted stock units and employee stock options. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP measures primarily because such expenses are non-cash expenses that the Company does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results.

Income tax expense: we estimate the tax effect of the items identified to determine a non-GAAP annual effective tax rate applied to the pretax amount in order to calculate the non-GAAP provision for income taxes. We also adjust for items for which the nature and/or tax jurisdiction requires the application of a specific tax rate or treatment.

From time to time in the future, there may be other items excluded if we believe that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors and management.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States. Investors should review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this press release.
