FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ORBOTECH ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2009 RESULTS
YAVNE, ISRAEL — August 3, 2009 — ORBOTECH LTD. (NASDAQ/GSM SYMBOL: ORBK) today announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2009 totaled $94.0 million, compared to $91.9 million recorded in the first quarter of 2009 and $105.1 million in the second quarter a year ago. GAAP (U. S. generally accepted accounting principles) net loss for the second quarter of 2009 was $1.2 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $7.9 million, or $0.23 per share for the first quarter of 2009 and GAAP net income of $5.3 million, or $0.16 per share (diluted), in the second quarter of 2008.
Revenues for the first six months of 2009 totaled $185.9 million, compared to $205.6 million recorded in the first half of 2008. GAAP net loss for the first six months of 2009 was $9.1 million, or $0.26 per share, compared to GAAP net income of $9.0 million, or $0.27 per share (diluted) in the first six months of 2008.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2009 was $2.5 million, or $0.07 per share (diluted), compared to non-GAAP net income of $7.4 million, or $0.22 per share (diluted), in the second quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP net income for the first six months of 2009 was $1.1 million, or $0.03 per share (diluted), compared to non-GAAP net income of $13.5 million, or $0.40 per share (diluted), in the first six months of 2008. The Company’s GAAP results for the second quarter of 2009 included $3.3 million of income from the Salvador transaction, which is explained in the detailed description of the non-GAAP adjustments in the accompanying reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results (the “Reconciliation”).
Sales of equipment to the printed circuit board (“PCB”) industry were $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2009, compared to $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2009, and $34.5 million in the second quarter of 2008. Sales of equipment to the flat panel display (“FPD”) industry were $41.4 million, compared to $50.0 million in the first quarter of 2009, and $29.8 million in the second quarter of last year. Sales of character recognition products were $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2009, compared to $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2009, and $2.7 million recorded in the second quarter of 2008. Sales of medical imaging equipment were $6.2 million in the second quarter of 2009, compared to $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2009, and $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2008. In addition, service revenue for the second quarter of 2009 increased to $27.3 million from $25.5 million in the first quarter of 2009, and $26.2 million in the second quarter of 2008. The financial data, including revenue data, presented in respect of the second quarter of 2008 does not include results attributable to the business of Photon Dynamics, Inc. (“PDI”), which was acquired on October 2, 2008. The impact of currency rates in the second quarter of 2009 was similar to that in the first quarter of 2009.
The Company completed the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $140 million, compared with approximately $119 million at the end of the first quarter of 2009, and $160 million in debt. The Company’s marketable securities included approximately $19 million of auction rate securities primarily tied to student loans.
During the second quarter of 2009, certain PCB manufacturers have reported increased fabrication plant utilization and this has had a positive effect on the Company’s sales of PCB equipment. As the Company previously reported, beginning from the fourth quarter of 2008, it experienced a significant decline in new FPD equipment orders, which continued through the first half of 2009. However, more recently, FPD manufacturers are reporting close to full capacity utilization, as well as restarting planned expansions in fabrication facilities to meet increased demand for panels, particularly for use in LCD televisions and touch screen panels. The Company expects the continued depletion of inventory buildup together with higher levels of demand for panels to lead to increased FPD order activity during the coming quarters. The positive indicators for mid-to-long term growth in the FPD industry remain unchanged.
Commenting on the results, Rani Cohen, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are pleased with our financial results for the quarter. While the current global recession continues to impact upon capital equipment expenditures, our customers are beginning to report some signs of inventory depletion, and we stand ready to help them meet their production requirements with our expansive portfolio of products. With the operational integration of PDI now successfully completed, we are also poised to introduce improved FPD offerings for our customers in anticipation of the next wave of investments and capacity expansions in the LCD industry. Our continued ability during the quarter to align our organization to the current level of business has allowed us to generate cash while continuing to provide our customers with the best support and new and innovative solutions. This will also enable us to be ready for the ramp-up of PCB and FPD production once business conditions improve. We remain positive as to the short and long term demand for our principal products.”
An earnings conference call for the Company’s second quarter 2009 results is scheduled for Monday, August 3, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. EDT. The dial-in number for the conference call is 210-795-2680, and a replay will be available on telephone number 203-369-0197 until August 17, 2009. The pass code is Q2.

| (1) | In-process research and development charges in 2008 were associated with the PDI acquisition. For more information about the PDI acquisition, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC. |
| (2) | The restructuring charges of $8,800,000 in 2008 relate to reductions in the Company’s workforce and rationalizations of certain of its research and development, manufacturing and operating activities, in order to realign the Company’s infrastructure. For more information about the PDI acquisition, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC. |
| (3) | The impairment charge of $110,403,000 in 2008 is comprised of: a write-off of $87,977,000 of goodwill associated with the Company’s FPD business; a write-down of $17,035,000 of the goodwill Orbotech Medical Denmark A/S (“OMD”); and a write-off of $5,391,000 of goodwill associated with the Company’s assembled PCB business. |
| (4) | The impairment charge of $21,260,000 in 2008 was related to a write-down of the intellectual property of OMD. For more information about OMD and the related impairment, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC. |
| (5) | The adjustment of impairment of goodwill of $3,300,000 in 2009 represents additional consideration from the sale of Salvador Imaging which was owned by PDI at the time of the PDI acquisition in 2008. |
| (6) | The income tax effect in 2008 was related to the impairment associated with OMD that occurred in the third quarter of 2008. The adjustments in the first half of 2008 and 2009 do not have a related income tax effect. |
Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share detailed in the Reconciliation exclude charges or income, as applicable, related to one or more of the following: (i) equity-based compensation expenses; (ii) certain items associated with acquisitions, including amortization of intangibles; (iii) restructuring and asset impairments; (iv) a gain representing additional consideration from the sale of Salvador Imaging, Inc. which was owned by PDI at the time of PDI acquisition in 2008; and/or (v) tax credits relating to the above items, in each case as described in more detail in the Reconciliation. Management uses non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial performance in light of business objectives and for planning purposes. These measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Orbotech believes that these measures enhance investors’ ability to review the Company’s business from the same perspective as the Company’s management and facilitate comparisons with results for prior periods. The presentation of this additional non-GAAP information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or earnings (loss) per share prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP measures, the reasons why management uses these measures, the usefulness of these measures and the material limitations on the usefulness of these measures please see the Reconciliation.
To supplement the Company’s financial results presented on a GAAP basis, the Company uses the non-GAAP measures indicated in the Reconciliation, which exclude equity based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, in-process research and development charges and impairment and restructuring charges, as well as certain financial expenses and non-recurring income items that are believed to be helpful in understanding and comparing past operating and financial performance with current results. However, the non-GAAP measures presented are subject to limitations as an analytical tool because they do not include certain recurring items as described below and because they do not reflect certain cash expenditures that are required to operate the Company’s business, such as interest expense and taxes. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management regularly utilizes supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the Company’s business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effects.
The effect of equity-based compensation expenses has been excluded from the non-GAAP net income measure. Although equity-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees, and the Company believes such compensation contributed to the revenues earned during the periods presented and also believes it will contribute to the generation of future period revenues, the Company continues to evaluate its business performance excluding equity based compensation expenses. Equity based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.
The effect of amortization of intangible assets, in-process research and development charges and impairment charges have also been excluded from the non-GAAP net income measure. These items are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly affected by the timing and size of acquisitions. These items were significantly higher in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first and second quarters of 2009 primarily as a result of the Company’s acquisitions, including the PDI acquisition in October 2008. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods and the Company may be required to record additional impairment charges in the future. The Company believes that it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on total operating expenses. Although these expenses are not recurring with respect to past acquisitions, these types of expenses will generally be incurred in connection with any future acquisitions. Restructuring expenses relate to realignment initiatives announced in 2008. For more information about these items, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The effects of income tax expenses (benefit) and financial income (expenses) have also been excluded from the non-GAAP net income measure. Because of fluctuations in the applicable tax rate based on jurisdictional and other factors, as well as the fact that the Company did not have any indebtedness in the first half of 2008, for comparison purposes, the Company’s business performance is evaluated excluding income tax expenses (benefit) and financial income (expenses).
