FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ORBOTECH ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS FOR 2009
YAVNE, ISRAEL — February 22, 2010 — ORBOTECH LTD. (NASDAQ/GSM SYMBOL: ORBK) today announced its consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2009.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2009 totaled $99.4 million, compared to $92.3 million recorded in the third quarter of 2009 and $129.2 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. GAAP (U. S. generally accepted accounting principles) net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $5.4 million, or $0.15 per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $5.5 million, or $0.16 per share for the third quarter of 2009 and GAAP net loss of $101.2 million, or $2.98 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 totaled $377.6 million, compared to the $429.5 million recorded in 2008. GAAP net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $19.9 million, or $0.58 per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $135.3 million, or $4.04 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $1.2 million, or $0.03 per share (diluted), compared to non-GAAP net income of $4.8 million, or $0.14 per share (diluted), in the fourth quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP net income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $3.4 million, or $0.10 per share (diluted), compared to non-GAAP net income of $19.1 million, or $0.55 per share (diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The Company’s GAAP results for the fourth quarter of 2008 included:
(a) an impairment charge of $87.8 million related to goodwill associated with the Company’s flat panel display (“FPD”) business, which was triggered primarily by the decrease in the Company’s market capitalization and was recorded in compliance with applicable accounting guidelines;
(b) $5.1 million in amortization of intangible assets arising principally from the acquisition of Photon Dynamics, Inc. (“PDI”); and a write-off of $6.5 million relating to in-process research and development in connection with that transaction;
(c) a charge of $5.1 million in connection with the scaling down of the Company’s assembled printed circuit board (“PCB”) operations, including the write-down of $3.3 million of raw material inventories relating to this business; and
(d) a restructuring charge of $3.4 million relating to the second phase of the Company’s previously announced 2008 cost reduction program.
The foregoing and other items are explained in the detailed description of the non-GAAP adjustments in the accompanying reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results (the “Reconciliation”).
Commenting on the results, Rani Cohen, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are pleased with our performance during the year. Although 2009 was extremely challenging, we nevertheless took steps to build upon our strong technological position by maintaining our program of investment in research and development and customer support. At the same time, we were able to generate operating cash flow of approximately $55 million and to realign our operating infrastructure with a view to leveraging our results as business conditions improve. Entering 2010, we believe that our strong portfolio of products and enabling technologies, as well as our continued development of new and additional products and solutions, will make it possible for our customers to meet the vital challenge of achieving significant increases in their productivity. We remain positive as to the short and long-term demand for our products.”
Sales of equipment to the printed circuit board (“PCB”) industry in the fourth quarter of 2009 were $26.0 million, compared to $20.3 million in the third quarter of 2009 and $17.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Sales of equipment to the FPD industry in the fourth quarter of 2009 were $40.5 million compared to $37.6 million in the third quarter of 2009 and $76.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Sales of character recognition products were $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2009, and $3.0 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008. Sales of medical imaging equipment were $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2009, and $3.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. In addition, service revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $28.8 million, compared to $27.9 million in the third quarter of 2009, and $28.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The impact of currency rates in the fourth quarter of 2009 was similar to that in the previous quarters of 2009.
The Company completed the quarter and the year with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $177.2 million, compared with approximately $170.2 million at the end of the third quarter of 2009; and $160 million in debt. The Company’s portfolio of marketable securities at year end included approximately $9.8 million of auction-rate securities primarily tied to student loans.
During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company’s PCB manufacturing customers continued to report high plant utilization rates driven mainly by new product introductions incorporating advanced functionalities and technologies. This, in turn, led to increased demand for the Company’s PCB equipment, in particular its highly sophisticated Direct Imaging systems which, given the improved industry fundamentals, are expected to experience continued strong demand into 2010.
In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company signed a significant frame agreement with a leading PCB manufacturing customer for the sale of twenty-five Orbotech Paragon™ Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) systems and other PCB production equipment to be utilized in the customer’s printed circuit board and integrated circuit carrier production facilities. Although there are no minimum purchase requirements under this frame agreement, delivery of most of these systems is expected to be completed by the end of 2010.
In light of the anticipated FPD industry growth driven by higher demand from China and other emerging economies, many LCD manufacturers have begun to solidify their capital expenditure plans for the next phase of investment. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company received a significant order for its new Generation 8 FPD equipment, most of which is expected to be delivered in the first half of 2010. These revenues are expected to be recorded during the second or third quarters of 2010. Additional investments in FPD fabrication plants are expected to begin in the latter part of 2010 and continue into 2011.
An earnings conference call is scheduled for Monday, February 22, 2010, at 9:00 a.m. EST. The dial-in number for the conference call is 210-795-2680, and a replay will be available at 203-369-1451 until March 8, 2010. The pass code is Q4.

| (1) | In-process research and development charges in 2008 were associated with the Photon Dynamics, Inc. (“PDI”) acquisition. For more information about the PDI acquisition, see the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC. |
| (2) | The restructuring charges of $8.8 million in 2008 and the $5.1 million in the 3 month period ended December 31, 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. |
| (3) | The impairment charge of $110.4 million in 2008 is comprised of: a write-off of $87.9 million recorded in December 2008 of goodwill associated with the Company’s FPD business; a write-down of $17.1 million recorded in September 2008 of the goodwill associated with Orbotech Medical Denmark A/S (“OMD”); and a write-off of $5.4 million recorded in September 2008 of goodwill associated with the Company’s assembled PCB business. |
| (4) | The impairment charge of $21.3 million 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 2008 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC. |
| (5) | The adjustment of impairment of goodwill of $3.3 million recorded in June 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 mainly to the impairment associated with OMD that occurred in the third quarter of 2008. The adjustments in 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 the 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 effects 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 throughout 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. The Company did not undertake any similar restructuring initiatives in 2009, but its results reflect the benefits of the 2008 initiatives. 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.
