Second Quarter Reportable Segment Results and Comparisons to the Prior Quarter
Silicon Systems Group (SSG) orders were $1.70 billion, up 19 percent, with
increases in foundry, flash and DRAM more than offsetting a decline in
logic/other. Net sales increased by 8 percent to $1.56 billion. Non-GAAP
adjusted operating income increased by 19 percent to $418 million or 26.8
percent of net sales. GAAP operating income increased by 22 percent to $374
million or 24.0 percent of net sales.
SSG new order composition was: foundry 36 percent; DRAM 31 percent; flash 21
percent; and logic/other 12 percent.
Applied Global Services orders of $641 million declined 7 percent primarily due
to a seasonal decline in service contract renewals. Net sales of $646 million
increased by 11 percent. Operating income increased to $170 million or 26.3
percent of net sales on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.
Display orders of $120 million were up 12 percent reflecting an increase in TV
equipment orders. Net sales declined 41 percent to $163 million, which was in
line with expectations. Operating income decreased to $40 million or 24.5
percent of net sales on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.
Energy and Environmental Solutions orders remained flat at $50 million, and net
sales increased by 33 percent to $73 million. EES reported a non-GAAP adjusted
operating loss of $4 million and a GAAP operating loss of $5 million.

Applied's backlog remained essentially flat at $2.78 billion and included
negative adjustments of $69 million, primarily consisting of order cancellations
and other adjustments. Backlog composition by segment was:  SSG 53 percent; AGS
29 percent; Display 13 percent; and EES 5 percent.

Business Outlook
For the third quarter of fiscal 2015, Applied expects net sales to be in the
range of up 2 percent to up 6 percent from the previous quarter, the midpoint of
which would be up 12 percent year over year. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS is
expected to be in the range of $0.31 to $0.35, the midpoint of which would be up
18 percent year over year.
This outlook excludes known charges related to completed acquisitions of $0.03
per share and does not exclude other non-GAAP adjustments that may arise
subsequent to this release.

Use of Non-GAAP Adjusted Financial Measures
Management uses non-GAAP adjusted results to evaluate the company's operating
and financial performance in light of business objectives and for planning
purposes. These measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from
non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Applied
believes these measures enhance investors' ability to review the company's
business from the same perspective as the company's management and facilitate
comparisons of this period's results with prior periods. The presentation of
this additional information should not be considered a substitute for results
prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Webcast Information
Applied Materials will discuss these results during an earnings call that begins
at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time today. A live webcast will be available at
www.appliedmaterials.com. A replay will be available on the website beginning at
5:00 p.m. Pacific Time today.

3 Results for the six months ended April 27, 2014 included a $7 million of
employee-related costs related to the restructuring program announced on
October 3, 2012.



4 Amounts for the three and six months ended April 26, 2015 included an
adjustment to decrease the provision for income taxes by $39 million and $35
million, respectively, with a corresponding increase in net income and
diluted earnings per share of $0.03. The adjustment was excluded in
Applied's non-GAAP adjusted results and was made primarily to correct an
error in the recognition of cost of sales in the U.S. related to
intercompany sales, which resulted in overstating profitability in the U.S.
and the provision for income taxes in immaterial amounts in each year since
fiscal 2010.

1 Amounts for the three months ended April 26, 2015 included an adjustment to
decrease the provision for income taxes by $39 million, with a corresponding
increase in net income and diluted earnings per share of $0.03. The
adjustment was excluded in Applied's non-GAAP adjusted results and was made
primarily to correct an error in the recognition of cost of sales in the
U.S. related to intercompany sales, which resulted in overstating
profitability in the U.S. and the provision for income taxes in immaterial
amounts in each year since fiscal 2010.
