July 30, 2019 4:30 PM

ANDOVER, Mass., July 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of technologies that enable advanced processes and improve productivity, today reported second quarter 2019 financial results.

“Another quarter of strong operational and financial execution drove our Non-GAAP operating margin and Non-GAAP net earnings above the mid-point of our guidance range in the second quarter despite the effects of uncertainty in the global trade environment,” said Gerald Colella, Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Colella added, “The acquisition of ESI adds laser-based systems to our Advanced Markets portfolio, further expanding our ability to penetrate into these profitable and growing markets. The long-term growth potential in our Advanced Markets remains robust and we are committed to continue to outperform these markets over the long term. In the second quarter, we are pleased to report that, with the ESI acquisition, our revenue in Advanced Markets achieved a new record of over $260 million in the quarter, an increase of 10% from a year ago.”

“In the quarter, we completed a $50 million voluntary prepayment on our term loan as we are committed to reduce our leverage and interest costs. This was our ninth voluntary prepayment since loan origination in April 2016,” said Seth Bagshaw, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Furthermore, we exited the quarter with a strong balance sheet and liquidity with $460 million of cash and short-term investments and trailing twelve-month net leverage ratio of under 1 times.”

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results Revenue was $474.1 million, an increase of 2% from $463.6 million in the first quarter of 2019 and a decrease of 17% from $573.1 million in the second quarter of 2018.

Net income was $37.7 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, compared to net income of $12.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019, and $122.9 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018.

Second quarter net income included acquisition and integration costs of $3.2 million associated with the ESI acquisition and $1.2 million of restructuring and other costs.

Non-GAAP net earnings, which exclude special charges and credits, were $59.9 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, compared to $61.3 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019, and $128.8 million or $2.33 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018.

Sales to Advanced Markets were $260 million, an increase of 7% compared to the first quarter of 2019, which was primarily attributed to the acquisition of ESI, as the first quarter only included two months of sales. Sales to Semiconductor customers were $214 million, a decrease of 3% compared to the first quarter of 2019.

Additional Financial InformationThe Company had $460 million in cash and short-term investments and $947 million of term loan debt outstanding as of June 30, 2019, which is net of a $50 million prepayment made during the second quarter of 2019. MKS also paid a dividend of $10.9 million or $0.20 per diluted share during the second quarter of 2019. The Company has available an unused $100 million asset-based line of credit.

Third Quarter 2018 Outlook Based on current business levels, the Company expects that revenue in the third quarter of 2019 could range from $415 to $465 million.

At these volumes, GAAP net income could range from $0.39 to $0.72 per diluted share and non-GAAP net earnings could range from $0.69 to $1.02 per diluted share.
