Anyone with Conf call # A T M I Reports Second Quarter Financial Results; Earnings Per Share Up 88
DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 19, 2000--ATMI, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATMI) today announced its revenues increased 41% to $69.4 million for its quarter ending June 30, 2000, from $49.3 million in the second quarter of last year.
Per share earnings increased to $0.32, from $0.17 -- not including one-time merger-related costs in the second quarter last year.
For the first half of 2000, ATMI's revenues grew 51% to $130.6 million, from $86.6 million for the first half of 1999. Earnings per share -- excluding net investment gains in 2000 and one-time merger-related costs in 1999 -- grew to $0.61 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, from $0.22 for the same period in 1999. Including net investment gains from the first quarter, net income for the six months of 2000 was $23.3 million, or $0.78 per share.
Gene Banucci, ATMI CEO, said, "The semiconductor industry is booming, and we see this expansion continuing. ATMI's Technologies businesses -- where capacity investment is a key driver -- turned in an excellent performance for the second quarter. Our Materials businesses -- driven by how many chips are being made -- are continuing to ramp, as process tools delivered over the last three to four quarters start to come on-line."
"One very encouraging recent event was our customers' reception of the "new ATMI" at our industry tradeshow, Semicon/West, last week. At the show, we exhibited solely as ATMI, with no reference to any of the historical brand names -- such as EcoSys, MST, NOW, ADCS, ACSI, Epitronics, or NovaSource -- that once permeated our product branding. In doing so, we displayed an integrated ATMI, where a customer can go to for a complete "bundled solution" - for ion implant, low K, CVD, and other semiconductor processes - that includes materials, packaging, delivery systems, sensing, and abatement. Customers told us that they view this approach as having significant potential for increasing the productivity of their tools. We believe this marks a clear transition for ATMI that will help to facilitate our growth."
Dan Sharkey, ATMI CFO, said, "The sequential revenue growth we experienced in the second quarter was primarily driven by our Technologies segment enjoying the growing strength in the capacity expansion cycle in our industry. The product lines within our Technologies segment contributed revenues of $36.5 million, 18% above first quarter levels. Our Materials segment grew 9% sequentially over the first quarter, to $32.9 million. ATMI is aggressively expanding capacity to meet, and keep ahead of, expanding customer demand across all of our product lines."
"During the second quarter, we incurred significant incremental legal costs spent to protect our valuable intellectual property. Without these costs, SG&A declined as a percentage of revenues, reflecting our efforts to continue to integrate and streamline our selling, marketing, and administration organizations."
