KLA-Tencor Corporation (NASDAQ:KLAC) today announced operating results for its second quarter of fiscal 2009, which ended on December 31, 2008. KLA-Tencor reported a GAAP net loss of $434 million and a GAAP loss per share of $2.57 on revenues of $397 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The results for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 include the pre-tax impact of a $435 million charge related to the aggregate impairment of goodwill and purchased intangible assets. KLA-Tencor reported a non-GAAP net loss of $20 million and a non-GAAP loss per share of $0.12 for the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
"The continuing worldwide economic slowdown drove sharp reductions in our customers' capital budgets, and KLA-Tencor experienced a greater-than-expected decline in orders and revenue at the end of the December quarter, including service revenue," said Rick Wallace, president and chief executive officer of KLA-Tencor. "In light of the current economic environment and our limited visibility regarding future market conditions, KLA-Tencor has been taking aggressive steps to reduce operating expenses and drive structural efficiencies across our organization, while maintaining a high level of investment in research and development, as well as our focus on customer service. We are confident these actions will allow us to sustain our technological and market leadership during this severe downturn and position us well when industry conditions improve, while protecting our balance sheet."
A reconciliation between GAAP operating results and non-GAAP operating results is provided following the financial statements that are part of this release. Non-GAAP results include the impact of stock-based compensation, but exclude the impact of acquisition, goodwill and intangible asset impairment, restatement, and restructuring related items.
KLA-Tencor will discuss its fiscal 2009 second quarter results, along with its outlook, on a conference call today beginning at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. A webcast of the call will be available at: www.kla-tencor.com
