Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

 

On May 14, 2013, the Company issued a press release reporting second quarter fiscal 2013 results. A copy of the press release is attached to this 8-K.

A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The information contained in this Item 2.02 and the attached Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, 99.5 and 99.6 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

On May 15, 2013, the Company will conduct a conference call during which certain unaudited, non-GAAP EBITDA financial information related to the Company’s operations for the three months ended April 28, 2013 will be disclosed. This information is set forth in Exhibit 99.6.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines pursuant to its credit agreement. The Company believes that EBITDA is generally accepted as providing useful information regarding the operational strength and performance of its business, including the ability of the Company to pay interest, service debt and fund capital expenditures. The Company’s method for calculating EBITDA may not be comparable to methods used by other companies but is the same method the Company uses for calculating EBITDA under its credit facility.

PHOTRONICS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2013 RESULTS

BROOKFIELD, Connecticut May 14, 2013 — Photronics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLAB), a worldwide leader in supplying innovative imaging technology solutions for the global electronics industry, today reported financial results for the fiscal 2013 second quarter ended April 28, 2013.

    Constantine (“Deno”) Macricostas, Photronics' chairman and chief executive officer commented, “We achieved top and bottom line results within our expectations. High-end IC orders were up 31% sequentially even though we experienced some softness with a key Asian foundry customer. Flat panel orders were generally in line with the improved performance in the previous quarter. We continue to expect conditions in the market to be favorable for us in the coming quarters, especially at the high-end with our new equipment deployments.”

    Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 were $106.7 million, a decrease of 9% compared with $117.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Sales of semiconductor photomasks were $82.2 million, or 77% of revenues, during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, and sales of flat panel display (FPD) photomasks were $24.5 million, or 23% of revenues. GAAP and non-GAAP net income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $4.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2012 GAAP net income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders of $8.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders of $8.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 excluded restructuring charges of $0.1 million.

     Sales for the first six months of fiscal 2013 were $206.5 million, compared with $229.6 million for the first six months of fiscal 2012. For the first six months of fiscal 2013, sales of semiconductor photomasks were $156.6 million, or 76% of revenues, and sales of FPD photomasks were $49.9 million, or 24% of revenues. GAAP and non-GAAP net income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders for the first six months of fiscal 2013 was $7.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with the first six months of fiscal 2012 GAAP net income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders of $13.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders of $14.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders for the first six months of fiscal 2012 excludes $1.2 million of restructuring charges and a $0.1 million gain relating to warrants.

     The section below entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" provides a definition and information about the use of non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, and the attached financial supplement reconciles non-GAAP financial information with Photronics, Inc.'s financial results under GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

     Non-GAAP net income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders and non-GAAP earnings per share are "non-GAAP financial measures," as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Photronics, Inc. believes that non-GAAP net income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders and non-GAAP earnings per share that exclude certain non-cash or non-recurring income or expense items are useful for analysts and investors to evaluate Photronics, Inc.'s future on-going performance because they enable a more meaningful comparison of Photronics, Inc.'s projected earnings and performance with its historical results of prior periods. These non-GAAP metrics, in particular non-GAAP net income attributable to Photronics, Inc. shareholders and non-GAAP earnings per share are not intended to represent funds available for Photronics, Inc.'s discretionary use and are not intended to represent, or be used as a substitute for, operating income, net income or cash flows from operations data as measured under GAAP. The items excluded from these non-GAAP metrics, but included in the calculation of their closest GAAP equivalent, are significant components of the consolidated statements of operations and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance. Non-GAAP financial information is adjusted for the following items:

     The presentation of this financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The attached financial supplement reconciles non-GAAP financial information with Photronics, Inc.'s financial results under GAAP.

     A conference call with investors and the media to discuss these results is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, May 15, 2013. The call can be accessed by logging onto Photronics' web site at www.photronics.com. The live dial-in number is 408-774-4601. The call will be archived for instant replay access until the Company reports its fiscal 2013 third quarter results.
