APPLIED MATERIALS DELIVERS STRONG THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

ID: 59063

(Thomson Reuters ONE) -



* Net sales of $2.79 billion, up 11 percent year over year and down 3 percent
sequentially
* Q3 EPS of $0.36; Q3 non-GAAP EPS of $0.35


SANTA CLARA, Calif., August 24, 2011 -- Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAT),
the world's leading supplier of manufacturing solutions for the semiconductor,
display and solar industries, today reported results for its third quarter of
fiscal 2011 ended July 31, 2011. Applied generated orders of $2.39 billion, net
sales of $2.79 billion, operating income of $687 million, and net income of $476
million or $0.36 per share. Non-GAAP operating income was $683 million, and non-
GAAP net income was $467 million or $0.35 per share.

"Applied delivered solid third quarter results, with earnings and revenue at the
upper end of our expectations," said Mike Splinter, chairman and chief executive
officer. "While the fundamental drivers of our markets remain strong, we are
seeing softness in our business resulting from the uncertain economic
environment and overcapacity in solar."

"Our cumulative net sales and non-GAAP earnings per share over the past four
quarters have been the strongest in the company's history," said George Davis,
chief financial officer. "In our most recent quarter, Applied generated nearly
$600 million in operating cash flow and issued $1.75 billion in long-term debt
to support the Varian acquisition."

Applied's Q3 FY2010 results included $405 million in charges associated with the
EES restructuring plan announced in July 2010, consisting in part of $250
million in inventory-related charges that reduced GAAP and non-GAAP EPS by
$0.12. Non-GAAP results for the above periods exclude the impact of the
following, where applicable: restructuring and asset impairment charges and any
associated adjustment related to restructuring actions, certain discrete tax
items, certain acquisition-related costs, investment impairments, and gain or
loss on sale of facilities. A reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP results is
provided in the financial statements included in this release. See also "Use of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Fiscal Third Quarter Reportable Segment Results and Comparisons to the Prior
Quarter
Silicon Systems Group (SSG) orders were $1.24 billion, down 28 percent primarily
due to weaker demand in foundry. Net sales were $1.40 billion, down 4 percent.
Operating income decreased to $452 million or 32 percent of net sales,
reflecting the lower revenue. New order composition was: foundry 37 percent,
logic and other 25 percent, flash 23 percent, and DRAM 15 percent.

Applied Global Services (AGS) orders were $613 million, up 2 percent. Net sales
were $603 million, down 2 percent. Operating income increased by 61 percent to
$146 million or 24 percent of net sales driven primarily by higher margins in
200 millimeter equipment as well as services.

Display orders were $220 million, down 14 percent due primarily to reduced
demand from LCD TV customers. Net sales were $223 million, up 41 percent, and
operating income increased to $58 million or 26 percent of net sales.

Energy and Environmental Solutions (EES) orders were $318 million, down 48
percent as customers digested record capital additions in recent quarters. Net
sales were $563 million, down 12 percent. Operating income decreased to $123
million or 22 percent of net sales and included $3 million in asset impairment
charges.

Additional Quarterly Financial Information
* Backlog decreased by $637 million to $3.24 billion and included $248 million
in negative adjustments.
* Gross margin was 42.5 percent, up from 41.5 percent in the second quarter.
* The effective tax rate was 28.8 percent.
* Operating cash flow was $599 million or 21 percent of net sales.
* Cash dividend payments totaled $105 million.
* The company used $25 million to repurchase 2 million shares of its common
stock.
* Cash, cash equivalents and investments increased to $6.81 billion at quarter
end. The amount included proceeds from the $1.75 billion of notes issued
during the quarter.


Business Outlook
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, Applied expects net sales to be down in
the range of 15 percent to 30 percent sequentially. The company expects non-GAAP
EPS to be in the range of $0.16 to $0.24. The non-GAAP EPS outlook excludes
known charges related to completed acquisitions of approximately $0.01 per
share, but does not exclude other non-GAAP adjustments that may arise subsequent
to this release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses non-GAAP 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.
