Novellus itself shows operating income of minus $210 million for that quarter on its financial highlights web page.

Sometimes analysts neglect one-time charges to try to see through to the underlying operating profit. You can leave out the in-process R & D writeoff due to the Varian purchase, but that quarter had a customer default on a $17 million receivable and an $84 million payment to a competitor for patent infringement. That's over $100 million pre-tax that you have to charge to operating profit and cash flow.
