Mattson Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MTSN), a leading supplier of
advanced process equipment used to manufacture semiconductors,
today announced results for the fiscal 2011 first quarter, ended
April 3, 2011.
First Quarter 2011 Business
Highlights:
- First quarter 2011 revenue of $47.0 million increased 14
percent as compared with fourth quarter 2010, marking Mattson
Technology's eighth consecutive quarter of revenue growth.
- First quarter loss from operations excluding interest and other
income and expenses and tax benefit adjustments was $5.1 million,
an improvement of $2.5 million over results for the fourth quarter
of 2010.
- Mattson booked and shipped the largest paradigmE® etch order in
the Company's history, placed by a leading semiconductor
manufacturer for volume manufacturing of advanced etch
applications.
David L. Dutton, Mattson Technology's president and chief
executive officer, noted, "Mattson Technology delivered its 8th
consecutive quarter of revenue growth with a 14 percent improvement
over the fourth quarter of 2010. This growth was driven by a record
order and shipment of our paradigmE etch system, which is now in
volume production for DRAM and NAND fabs, and strength from our
foundry strip business. In the quarter, we introduced the
next-generation SUPREMA XP5 strip system, which delivers up to a 50
percent higher throughput than its predecessor, further extending
our strip leadership.
"We are now solidly established in three diverse markets, with a
significantly larger served available market as compared with that
of the previous cycle. Our new positions in these markets, combined
with the expected new fab expansions -- the first real expansions
since 2007 -- set the groundwork for a newly defined Mattson
Technology." Dutton concluded, "We have furthered our technology
leadership and are well positioned to continue to outpace the
industry's growth in 2011."
First Quarter 2011 Financial Results First
quarter net sales of $47.0 million increased 14 percent compared
with $41.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, and 87 percent,
compared with $25.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. Gross
margin for the first quarter was 30 percent, consistent with gross
margin reported in both the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first
quarter of 2010. Operating expenses for the first quarter of $19.0
million declined approximately five percent compared with $19.9
million in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Interest and other expense, net, for the first quarter was an
unfavorable $1.5 million, primarily a result of currency
adjustments to certain accounts pertaining to the strengthening of
the Euro in Mattson Technology's European operations. This result
was slightly offset by a benefit from income taxes of $0.3 million,
due to a release of reserves in one of the Company's foreign
subsidiaries.
Net loss for the first quarter was $6.3 million, or $0.12 loss
per share, compared with a net loss of $7.9 million, or $0.16 loss
per share, for the fourth quarter of 2010, and a net loss of $10.8
million, or $0.22 loss per share, for the first quarter of
2010.
Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted
cash at the end of the first quarter were $24.4 million, compared
with $23 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2010.

condensed consolidated statements of operations and balance
sheets.
