Orbotech Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results for 2012
Orbotech Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results for 2012
Business Wire
YAVNE, Israel -- February 19, 2013
ORBOTECH LTD. (NASDAQ/GSM SYMBOL: ORBK) today announced its consolidated
financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 totaled $100.3 million, compared to
$98.9 million in the third quarter of 2012 and $133.3 million in the fourth
quarter of 2011. GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $0.7
million, or $0.02 per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $45.7 million, or
$1.05 per share, in the third quarter of 2012 and a GAAP net income of $2.5
million, or $0.06 per share (diluted), in the fourth quarter of 2011. Net loss
for the fourth quarter of 2012 includes a restructuring charge of $3.2 million
relating to certain measures taken to realign the Company’s infrastructure
with current revenue levels and business conditions, including a reduction in
worldwide workforce, consolidation of certain Company facilities and other
cost-cutting measures.
Commenting on the results, Asher Levy, Chief Executive Officer, said: “2012
was an extremely challenging year for the Company, primarily due to lower
capital expenditures by LCD manufacturers and the deferral of capital
expenditures by PCB manufacturers in response to highly uncertain global
economic conditions. During the fourth quarter, we took steps to reduce our
expense structure, which will better position us to benefit from the
improvement we are already beginning to see in the FPD industry and from the
expected growth in the PCB industry. In 2013, these measures should result in
savings of approximately $10 million in operating expenses and will afford us
significant operating leverage. However, they will not impact our service
business nor diminish our ability to continue to develop the best solutions to
meet our customers’ needs.”
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $400.7 million, compared
to $565.3 million in 2011. GAAP net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012
was $45.6 million, or $1.05 per share, compared to a GAAP net income of $47.3
million, or $1.16 per share (diluted), in 2011.
GAAP net loss for the year reflects: (a) an impairment charge of $30.1
million, or $0.69 per share, relating to intangible assets allocated to the
Company’s flat panel display (“FPD”) business, following the assessment and
testing of the value of those assets in light of the changed FPD industry and
business conditions; (b) a write-down of inventories and a provision for
non-cancelable commitments in the amount of $14.3 million, or $0.33 per share,
relating primarily to components for the Company’s FPD products, which takes
into consideration the Company’s current inventory levels and its assessment
as to anticipated future demand for its FPD products; (c) $4.0 million of net
costs associated with the previously-disclosed charges filed in Korea against
the Korean subsidiary of Orbotech Ltd. and six employees thereof (the “Korean
Matter”); and (d) $5.1 million in restructuring charges related to the
Company’s cost reduction programs.
Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2012
was $3.9 million, or $0.09 per share (diluted), compared to non-GAAP net
income from continuing operations of $6.5 million, or $0.15 per share
(diluted), in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31,
2012 was $2.3 million, or $0.05 per share (diluted), compared to non-GAAP net
income from continuing operations of $62.2 million, or $1.52 per share
(diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2011. A reconciliation of each of
the Company’s non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measure is included at
the end of this press release.
In the Company’s Production Solutions for Electronics Industry segment, sales
of equipment to the printed circuit board (“PCB”) industry were $42.2 million
in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $42.0 million in the third quarter
of 2012, and $52.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Sales of equipment
to the FPD industry were $17.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared
to $15.3 million in the third quarter of 2012, and $42.5 million in the fourth
quarter of last year. In the Company’s Recognition Software segment, sales
were $2.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $2.0 million in
the third quarter of 2012, and $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. In
addition, service revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $38.0 million,
compared to $39.6 million in the third quarter of 2012, and $36.0 million in
the fourth quarter of 2011.
The Company completed the quarter with cash, cash equivalents, short-term bank
deposits and marketable securities of approximately $278.8 million; and debt
of $64.0 million, compared with cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank
deposits of approximately $276.2 million; and debt of $72.0 million at the end
of the third quarter of 2012. The Company generated cash of $12.7 million from
continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2012. Additionally, during
February 2013, the Company prepaid $32.0 million of its loan from the Israel
Discount Bank Ltd. and estimates that this will result in a reduction of
approximately $1.8 million in its financial expenses for 2013. The remaining
$32.0 million loan from Israel Discount Bank Ltd. is due by December 21, 2013
and, accordingly has been classified as a current liability.
To date, the Company has repurchased 429,812 of its Ordinary Shares, at a
total cost of approximately $3.74 million, under the share repurchase program
approved and announced in November 2012. Pursuant to approval granted by its
Board of Directors, the Company will continue to repurchase shares, up to the
originally approved total of $30.0 million. Such purchases will be subject,
among other things, to the share price and market conditions and will be made
in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Hearings on the Korean Matter remain ongoing, as does the investigation by the
prosecutor into the actions of employees of the Company outside of Korea, in
connection with which the Company’s Korean subsidiary continues to co-operate
with the Korean authorities. The Company recorded $4.0 million in net costs in
2012 in connection with the Korean Matter, and expects to continue to incur
fees and expenses associated therewith.
Due to the elimination of the proportionate method of consolidation for joint
ventures under applicable Israeli GAAP, which became effective on January 1,
2013, commencing from the first quarter of 2013 the Company will account for
its interest in Frontline P.C.B. Solutions Limited Partnership (“Frontline”)
using the equity method and, as a result, will report its investment as a one
line item within investments and other non-current assets in the consolidated
balance sheets; and its share of earnings on one line in the Company’s
consolidated statement of operations. This presentation will be applied in the
Company’s financial statements for all prior periods for consistency.
Accordingly, the Company’s reported financial statements for prior periods,
including the financial statements in this press release, will change in
future periods. The Company’s share in the earnings of Frontline will be
presented under operating income since Frontline is integrated into the
operations of the Company.
The Company expects that revenues for the first quarter of 2013, which it
anticipates will be the lowest quarter for the year, will be approximately $93
- $94 million, or about $90 million under the new accounting treatment in
connection with Frontline, as discussed above.
An earnings conference call for the Company’s fourth quarter 2012 results is
scheduled for Tuesday, February 19, 2013, at 9:00 a.m. EST. The dial-in number
for the conference call is 517-308-9494, and a replay will be available on
telephone number 402-220-9088 until March 5, 2013. The pass code is Q4. A live
web cast of the conference call and a replay can also be heard by accessing

without limitation, the timing, terms and success of any strategic

investigation in Korea, including any impact on existing or future business
opportunities in Korea and elsewhere, any civil actions related to the Korean
Matter brought by third parties, including the Company’s customers, which may

devices such as smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices and other
risks detailed in the Company’s SEC reports, including the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2011; and its reports on
Form 6-K filed with the SEC on May 16, June 11, June 28, August 6, August 7

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations and
non-GAAP net income from continuing operations per share detailed in the
Reconciliation exclude charges, income or losses, as applicable, related to
one or more of the following: (i) equity-based compensation expenses; (ii)
certain items associated with acquisitions, including amortization and
impairment of intangibles; (iii) discontinued operations; (iv) restructuring
charges; and/or (v) share in losses of associated company. Management uses
these non-GAAP measures 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; net income attributable to Orbotech Ltd. or
earnings 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. The reasons why management uses these measures, the
usefulness of these measures and the material limitations on the usefulness of
these measures are set forth below. For a detailed explanation of the
adjustments made to comparable GAAP 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, share in losses/profits of
associated companies 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 exclude recurring
items (such as equity compensation and amortization of intangible assets) 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 measures. 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 have also been excluded from
the measures. This item is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is
significantly affected by the timing and size of acquisitions. 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. For more information about these
items, see the Reconciliation and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F
filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2011.
