merrill lynchs' comments Investment Highlights: · ATI Technologies reported Q3'99 results that were above our expectations. We are reiterating our Buy recommendation. · The company recorded sales of US$302.04 million, up 65% over last year. We had been looking for $276 million. Adjusted EPS were US$0.17 vs. our expectation of $0.15, and vs. last year's number of $0.12. · We continue to be surprised by the company's ability to increase gross margin. We had been estimating that pricing pressure would hold this around 35% but it came in at 37% — higher than last quarter. · Cash balances increased in the quarter to US$90 million. Accounts receivable improved and DSOs now stand at 49.3 days. · Latest market data from Mercury Research shows ATI in the number three spot for notebooks. · There is a conference call at 11:00 a.m. (EST) this morning and we will have more details following the call. 8 July 1999 Thomas B.
