Axcelis Announces Financial Results For Second Quarter 2014

2014-08-04 16:01 ET - News Release

First Purion H™ High Current Implanter Shipped

BEVERLY, Mass., Aug. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACLS) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. Highlights for the quarter were:

  • The first Purion H™ high current implanter was shipped to a leading Asia-Pacific chipmaker, where it will join Purion XE™ and Purion M™ systems already in place. This customer now has all three members of the Purion product family and will be the first to truly see the benefit of the 'Power of Purion'.
  • Received the third order for the innovative Purion M™ medium current implanter from a large foundry after a successful evaluation.
  • Achieved "Ranked 1st" Awards in the Annual VLSIresearch Customer Satisfaction Survey. Customers voted Axcelis #1 in THE BEST Suppliers of Fab Equipment, #1 in Implant Equipment, and the #1 10 BEST Focused Supplier.
Axcelis Technologies, Inc.

The Company reported second quarter revenue of $41.2 million, compared to $60.8 million for the first quarter of 2014. Loss from operations for the quarter was $6.1 million, compared to operating income of $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2014. Net loss for the quarter was $6.9 million, or $(0.06) per share. This compares to net income for the first quarter of 2014 of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per share. Cash and cash equivalents were $35.6 million at June 30, 2014 compared with $43.0 million at March 31, 2014.

Chairman and CEO Mary Puma said, "Momentum for Purion products continues as customers recognize advantages in precision, purity and productivity the platform provides for advanced planar and 3D processes. The current industry pause gives Purion products additional time to be evaluated and adopted. When spending resumes, Axcelis will be better positioned to sell the full family of Purion products."

Kevin Brewer, executive vice president and CFO added, "In light of market conditions, we have implemented a series of cost cutting actions that in the third quarter bring our quarterly breakeven to under $50M and our operating cash breakeven to under $42M. We will continue to make investments in Purion platform development and product penetrations, and customer satisfaction, that will deliver top line growth."

The Company will host a conference call today at 5:00 pm ET to discuss results for the second quarter 2014.
