To All - Using a simple method I've been able to make fairly accurate earnings estimates the previous two qaurters relative to Wall St. consensus. I've posted them in the past, longer term followers of this thread should be able to vouch for me.
Consensus DKG actual Q1 0.23 0.30 0.29 Q2 0.32 0.40 0.48
Based on the following: Near Term Production Capacity
Final Test Bays: S.D. Japan Total Plant Old New
1Q 97 15 9 4 28 2nd Q 97 15 9 8 32 end of July 97 15 16 8 39 end of Sept. 97 15* 32 10 57 *6 of the test bay in the old S.D. plant will be converted to ArF the nine others will be used for prototyping.
Final test cylce time is about 16 days/bay - there are 92 days in Q3. 92/16 = 5.75 DUVs per bay for the Q working 7 days a week, 78.8/16 = 4.92 based on 6 days a week 65.7/16 = 4.11 based on 5 days a week.
Test Bays available for KrF production: July 32 Aug 39 Sept 39 ========= Q3 Avg = 36.67 * 5.75 = 210.85 round off 210 based on 7 day a week 36.67 * 4.92 = 180.4 " " 180 6 36.67 * 4.11 = 150.71 " " 151 5
DUV* unit $ = product revenue
210 *$ 430,000 = $ 90,300,000 180* $ 430,000 = $ 77,400,000 151* $ 430,000 = $ 64,930,000
Net income has been an average 12.73% of total revenues in the trailing 12 month period. I1ve been using 12.5% in my estimates. net income / share out = EPS
90,300,000 * .125 = 11,287,000 / 28,500,000 = 0.40 7 day/week 77,400,000 * .125 = 9,677,000 / 28,500,000 = 0.33 6 day/week 64,930,000 * .125 = 8,116,250 / 28,500,000 = 0.28 5 day/week
These estimate are on the high side, but I plugged in the #'s and that's what came out.
