S&P MAINTAINS BUY
RECOMMENDATION ON SHARES
OF BROOKS AUTOMATION
Recent Price: $14.48
Recommendation: Buy ****

Subject to the usual approvals, BRKS agrees to acquire Helix Technology (HELX 15.9***) via a
swap of 1.11 BRKS shares per HELX share, a premium of approximately 25% based on Friday's
closing prices, and a total deal value of about $454 million. We believe the significant premium is
justified by our view of product synergies and our estimate of as much $20 million in annual cost
savings, though we would note integration risks. BRKS also modestly lowers June-Q revenue to
$111-$113M from previous $115-$120 million. We have cut our FY 05 (Sep.) EPS estimate to $0.30
from $0.39.
