NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
1) | Basis of Presentation |
The terms MKS and the Company refer to MKS Instruments, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The interim financial data as of June 30, 2015 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of MKS, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the MKS Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2015.
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, inventory, intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets, acquisition expenses, income taxes and investments. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with current year classifications.
2) | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific guidance. The new standard requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. However, in March 2015, the FASB proposed a one-year deferral and, in July 2015, the FASB agreed to defer by one year the mandatory effective date of its revenue recognition standard, but will also provide entities the option to adopt it as of the original effective date. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not yet selected a transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU No. 2014-09 and has not yet determined its impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial StatementsGoing Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under this ASU, management will be required to assess an entitys ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The provisions of this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. This ASU is not expected to have an impact on the Companys financial statements or disclosures.

Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is recognized as income on the date the stock trades ex-dividend. The cost of marketable securities sold is determined by the specific identification method. Realized gains or (losses) are reflected in income and were immaterial for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
In accordance with the Companys investment policy, no security shall have a maturity or average life longer than three years. The average duration of the portfolio shall be no more than one year. Corporate securities must have ratings of A3/A- or better. Asset-backed securities must be rated AAA. Short-term ratings of A-2/P2/F2 or higher are also permitted. With respect to compliance with these investment guidelines, the rating agencies include Moodys Investor Service, Standard & Poors and Fitch Investor Service. The middle of Moodys, Standard & Poors and Fitch rating shall be used to determine compliance with credit quality guidelines. If a security is rated by two rating agencies, the lower rating will apply. If only one rating exists, that rating shall be used.

In accordance with the provisions of fair value accounting, a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability and defines fair value based upon an exit price model.
The fair value measurement guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities assessed as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
Level 2 | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments or securities or derivative contracts that are valued using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. |
Level 3 | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. |
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the Company categorizes such assets and liabilities based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Companys assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Money Market Funds
Money market funds are cash and cash equivalents and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Bankers Acceptance Drafts
Bankers acceptance drafts are short-term credit investments created by a non-financial firm and guaranteed by a bank. These drafts are often traded at a discount from face value and may be traded on a secondary market.
Available-For-Sale Investments
As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, available-for-sale investments consisted of time deposits and drafts denominated in the Euro currency, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, asset-backed securities (which include auto loans, credit card receivables and equipment trust receivables), bankers acceptance drafts, corporate obligations, municipal bonds and U.S. agency obligations. The Company measures its debt and equity investments at fair value.
Derivatives
As a result of the Companys global operating activities, the Company is exposed to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect its operating results and financial position. When deemed appropriate, the Company minimizes its risks from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations through the use of derivative financial instruments. The principal market in which the Company executes its foreign currency contracts is the institutional market in an over-the-counter environment with a relatively high level of price transparency. The market participants usually are large commercial banks. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued using broker quotations, or market transactions and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

5) | Derivatives |
The Company enters into derivative instruments for risk management purposes only, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments and those utilized as economic hedges. The Company operates internationally and, in the normal course of business, is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. The Company has used derivative instruments, such as forward contracts, to manage certain foreign currency exposure.
By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. The Company enters into derivative instruments with major investment grade financial institutions and no collateral is required. The Company has policies to monitor the credit risk of these counterparties. While there can be no assurance, the Company does not anticipate any material non-performance by any of these counterparties.
The Company hedges a portion of its forecasted foreign currency denominated intercompany sales of inventory, over a maximum period of eighteen months, using forward foreign exchange contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges related to Japanese, South Korean, British, Euro and Taiwanese currencies. To the extent these derivatives are effective in off-setting the variability of the hedged cash flows, and otherwise meet the hedge accounting criteria, changes in the derivatives fair value are not included in current earnings but are included in other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI) in stockholders equity. These changes in fair value will subsequently be reclassified into earnings, as applicable, when the forecasted transaction occurs. To the extent that a previously designated hedging transaction is no longer an effective hedge, any ineffectiveness measured in the hedging relationship is recorded currently in earnings in the period it occurs. The cash flows resulting from forward exchange contracts are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows as part of cash flows from operating activities. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
To the extent the hedge accounting criteria is not met, the related foreign currency forward contracts are considered as economic hedges and changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded immediately in earnings in the period in which they occur. These include hedges that are used to reduce exchange rate risks arising from the change in fair value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (i.e., payables, receivables) and other economic hedges where the hedge accounting criteria were not met.

Precisive, LLC
On March 17, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of Precisive, LLC (Precisive), for $12,085, net of cash acquired of $435. The purchase price includes a deferred payment amount of $2,600 to cover any potential indemnification claims, which amount will be paid to the sellers after 15 months assuming there are no indemnification claims. Precisive is an innovative developer of optical analyzers based on Tunable Filter Spectroscopy, which provide real-time gas analysis in the natural gas and hydrocarbon processing industries, including refineries, hydrocarbon processing plants, gas-to-power machines, biogas processes and fuel gas transportation and metering, while delivering customers a lower total cost of ownership.

The fair value of the acquired intangibles was determined using the income approach. This acquisition resulted in a purchase price that exceeded the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible assets, which excess was allocated to goodwill. The Company believes the amount of goodwill relative to identifiable intangible assets relates to several factors including: (1) potential buyer-specific synergies related to market opportunities for a combined product offering; (2) potential to leverage the Companys sales force and intellectual property to attract new customers and revenue; and (3) potential to strengthen and expand into new but complementary markets, including targeting new applications such as natural gas processing, hydrocarbon processing and other oil and gas segments.
The results of this acquisition were included in the Companys consolidated operations beginning on March 17, 2015. The pro forma consolidated statements reflecting the operating results of Precisive, had it been acquired January 1, 2014, would not differ materially from the operating results of the Company as reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Precisive is included in the Companys Instruments, Control and Vacuum Products group and the Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment reportable segment. The revenue and net earnings from Precisive, since the date of acquisition through the period ended June 30, 2015, were immaterial.
Granville-Phillips
On May 30, 2014, the Company acquired Granville-Phillips (GP), a division of Brooks Automation, Inc. (Brooks), for $86,950. GP is a leading global provider of vacuum measurement and control instruments to the semiconductor, thin film and general industrial markets. The acquisition aligns with the Companys current strategy to grow its semiconductor business, while diversifying into other high growth advanced markets.

This transaction resulted in an amount of purchase price that exceeded the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible assets, which was allocated to goodwill. The Company believes that the amount of goodwill relative to identifiable intangible assets relates to several factors including: (1) potential buyer-specific synergies related to market opportunities for a combined product offering; (2) potential to leverage the Companys sales force and intellectual property to attract new customers and revenue and (3) potential to strengthen the Companys position in the vacuum gauge market.

The pro forma consolidated statements reflecting the operating results of GP, had it been acquired as of January 1, 2013, would not differ materially from the operating results of the Company as reported for the year ended December 31, 2014. GP is included in the Companys Instruments, Control and Vacuum Products group and the Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment reportable segment.
8) | Goodwill and Intangible Assets |
Goodwill
The Companys methodology for allocating the purchase price relating to purchase acquisitions is determined through established and generally accepted valuation techniques. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the sum of the amounts assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed. The Company assigns assets acquired (including goodwill) and liabilities assumed to one or more reporting units as of the date of acquisition. Typically acquisitions relate to a single reporting unit and thus do not require the allocation of goodwill to multiple reporting units. If the products obtained in an acquisition are assigned to multiple reporting units, the goodwill is distributed to the respective reporting units as part of the purchase price allocation process.
Goodwill and purchased intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets requires significant judgment. The Company regularly monitors current business conditions and other factors including, but not limited to, adverse industry or economic trends, restructuring actions and lower projections of profitability that may impact future operating results.

12) | Product Warranties |
The Company records the estimated costs to fulfill customer warranty obligations upon the recognition of the related revenue. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers, the Companys warranty obligation is affected by shipment volume, product failure rates, utilization levels, material usage, and supplier warranties on parts delivered to the Company. Should actual product failure rates, utilization levels, material usage, or supplier warranties on parts differ from the Companys estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. The product warranty liability is included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Product warranty activities were as follows:

13) | Income Taxes |
The Companys effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was 29.1% and 29.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the geographic mix of income and profits earned by the Companys international subsidiaries being taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate and the deduction for domestic production activities. The Companys effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was 31.3% and 23.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate due to the impact of lower tax rates on foreign income and the deduction for domestic production activities. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the discrete release of income tax reserves related to the effective settlement of a foreign tax examination in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
At June 30, 2015, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which excludes interest and penalties, was approximately $19,508. At December 31, 2014, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which excludes interest and penalties, was approximately $19,610. The net decrease from December 31, 2014 was attributable to a release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of the statute of limitations related to a previously open tax year. As of June 30, 2015, if these benefits were recognized in a future period, the timing of which is not estimable, the net unrecognized tax benefit of $11,524, excluding interest and penalties, would impact the Companys effective tax rate. The Company accrues interest expense, and if applicable, penalties, for any uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties are classified as a component of income tax expense. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had accrued interest on unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $701 and $578, respectively.
Over the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that the Company may recognize approximately $950 of previously net unrecognized tax benefits related to various U.S. federal, state and foreign tax positions primarily as a result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitations.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to examination by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Internal Revenue Service commenced an examination of the Companys U.S. federal tax filings for tax years 2011 through 2013 during the quarter ended March 31, 2015. As a result, the U.S. statute of limitations remains open between tax years 2011 through present. However, carryforward amounts from prior years may still be adjusted upon examination by tax authorities if they are used in a future period. The statute of limitations for the Companys tax filings in other jurisdictions varies between fiscal years 2008 through the present.

Diluted |
$ | 0.62 | $ | 0.40 | $ | 1.25 | $ | 0.98 |
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding (using the treasury stock method) if securities containing potentially dilutive common shares (stock options and restricted stock units) had been converted to such common shares, and if such assumed conversion is dilutive.
As of June 30, 2015, stock options and restricted stock units related to an aggregate of approximately 772,000 shares were outstanding. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no weighted-average shares of restricted stock units and stock options that were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding that would have an anti-dilutive effect on EPS.
As of June 30, 2014, stock options and restricted stock units relating to an aggregate of approximately 830,000 shares were outstanding. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the potential dilutive effect of approximately 90 and 800 weighted-average shares, respectively, of restricted stock units and stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as the shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on EPS.
15) | Stockholders Equity |
Stock Repurchase Program
On July 25, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $200,000 of its outstanding common stock from time to time in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or through other appropriate means. The timing and quantity of any shares repurchased depends upon a variety of factors, including business conditions, stock market conditions and business development activities, including, but not limited to, merger and acquisition opportunities. These repurchases may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased approximately 116,000 shares of its common stock for $4,341, or an average price of $37.55 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company repurchased approximately 728,000 shares of its common stock for $20,809, or an average price of $28.59 per share.
Cash Dividends
Holders of the Companys common stock are entitled to receive dividends when they are declared by the Companys Board of Directors. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Companys Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.165 per share in the first quarter of 2015 and a cash dividend of $0.17 per share in the second quarter of 2015, which totaled $17,868. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Companys Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.16 per share in the first quarter of 2014 and a cash dividend of $0.165 per share in the second quarter of 2014, which totaled $17,326.

On July 27, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share to be paid on September 11, 2015 to shareholders of record as of August 31, 2015. Future dividend declarations, if any, as well as the record and payment dates for such dividends, are subject to the final determination of the Companys Board of Directors.
16) | Business Segment, Geographic Area, Product and Significant Customer Information |
The Company develops, manufactures, sells and services products that measure, control, power and monitor critical parameters of advanced manufacturing processes. The Companys Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) utilizes consolidated financial information to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. In addition, certain disaggregated financial information is also provided to the CODM, which is used in the decision making process to assess performance. Based upon the information provided to the CODM, the Company has determined it has four reportable segments.
Effective January 1, 2015, the Company changed the structure of its reportable segments based upon a change in the information that is provided to the Companys CODM. The Companys four reportable segments prior to the change in structure were: Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment, Analytical Solutions Group, Europe Region Sales & Service and Asia Region Sales & Service. The Companys new structure still reflects four reportable segments; however, the composition of the segments has changed.
The Companys new reportable segments are Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment, Global Service, Asia Region Sales and Other. The primary change to the segment structure was to separate worldwide service from product sales and create a separate reportable segment known as Global Service. Product sales in the Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment segment remained with this segment. Asia product sales became a separate reportable segment. The product sales from the operating segments that made up the Analytical Solutions Group and Europe Region sales were combined into the Other segment and are not reported separately as they are individually immaterial and collectively below the separate segment reporting guidelines. The Company has reported corporate expenses and certain intercompany pricing transactions in a Corporate and Eliminations reconciling column. Due to these changes, the results presented under segment reporting for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and as of December 31, 2014 reflect the new segments to conform to the current period segment reporting presentation with no impact to the consolidated results of operations.
The Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment segment includes the development, manufacturing and sales of instruments and control products, power and reactive gas products, materials delivery products and vacuum products, all of which are utilized in semiconductor processing and other similar advanced manufacturing processes. Sales in this segment include both external sales and intercompany product sales, which are recorded at transfer prices in accordance with applicable tax requirements.
The Global Service segment includes the worldwide servicing of instruments and control products, power and reactive gas products, materials delivery products and vacuum products, all of which are utilized in semiconductor processing and other similar advanced manufacturing processes. It also includes sales of custom fabrication services.
The Asia Region Sales segment mainly resells products from the Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment and Other segments into Asia regions.
The Other segment includes operating segments that are not required to be reported separately as a reportable segment and includes sales for products that are re-sold from the Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment into Europe regions as well as sales from other operating segments.
MKS derives the segment results directly from the manner in which results are reported in its management reporting system. The accounting policies MKS uses to derive reportable segment results are substantially the same as those used for external reporting purposes except that a substantial portion of the sales of the Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment and Other segments are intercompany sales to the regions at tax-based transfer prices and certain significant costs, including stock-based compensation and management incentive compensation, are not allocated to the segments and are included in Corporate and Eliminations. The CODM reviews several metrics of each operating segment, including net revenues and gross profit (loss).

The Company does not maintain balance sheets for the majority of its operating segments and, as such, amounts have not been allocated to the reportable segments. The Company does not disclose external or intersegment revenues separately by reportable segment as this information is not presented to the CODM for decision making purposes.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). When used herein, the words believes, anticipates, plans, expects, estimates, would, will, intends and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect managements current opinions and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially from those stated or implied. While we may elect to update forward looking statements in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so even if our estimates or expectations change. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 in the section entitled Risk Factors as referenced in Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We are a global provider of instruments, subsystems and process control solutions that measure, control, power, monitor and analyze critical parameters of advanced manufacturing processes to improve process performance and productivity. We also provide services relating to the maintenance and repair of our products, software maintenance, installation services and training.
Our products are derived from our core competencies in pressure measurement and control, materials delivery, gas composition analysis, control and information technology, power and reactive gas generation and vacuum technology. Our products are used in diverse markets, applications and processes. Our primary served markets are manufacturers of capital equipment for semiconductor devices, and for other thin film applications including flat panel displays, solar cells and light emitting diodes (LEDs), data storage media and other advanced coatings. We also leverage our technology into other markets with advanced manufacturing applications including medical equipment, pharmaceutical manufacturing, energy generation and environmental monitoring.
We have a diverse base of customers that includes manufacturers of semiconductor capital equipment and semiconductor devices, thin film capital equipment used in the manufacture of flat panel displays, LEDs, solar cells, data storage media, analysis metrology and other coating applications; and other industrial, medical, pharmaceutical manufacturing, energy generation, environmental monitoring and other advanced manufacturing companies, as well as university, government and industrial research laboratories. For both the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, approximately 71% of our net revenues were from sales to semiconductor capital equipment manufacturers and semiconductor device manufacturers. We expect that sales to semiconductor capital equipment manufacturers and semiconductor device manufacturers will continue to account for a substantial portion of our sales.
Effective January 1, 2015, we changed the structure of our reportable segments based upon how the information is provided to our chief operating decision maker. Our four reportable segments prior to the change in structure were: Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment, Analytical Solutions Group, Europe Region Sales & Service and Asia Region Sales & Service. Our new structure still reflects four reportable segments however, the composition of the segments has changed.
Our new reportable segments are Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment, Global Service, Asia Region Sales and Other. The primary change to the segment structure was to separate worldwide service from product sales and create a separate reportable segment known as Global Service. Product sales in the Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment segment remained with this segment. Asia product sales became a separate reportable segment. The product sales from the operating segments that made up the Analytical Solutions Group and Europe Region Sales were combined into the Other segment and are not reported separately as they are individually immaterial and collectively below the separate segment guidelines. We report corporate expenses and certain intercompany pricing transactions in a Corporate and Eliminations reconciling column.
The Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment segment includes the development, manufacture and sales of instruments and control products, power and reactive gas products and vacuum products, all of which are utilized in semiconductor processing and other similar advanced manufacturing processes. Sales in this segment include both external sales and intercompany product sales, which are recorded at transfer prices in accordance with applicable tax requirements.
Our Global Service segment includes the worldwide servicing of instruments and control products, power and reactive gas products and vacuum products, all of which are utilized in semiconductor processing and other similar advanced manufacturing processes. It also includes sales of custom fabrication services.
The Asia Region Sales segment mainly resells products from the Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment and Other segments into Asia regions.
26
The Other segment includes operating segments that are not required to be reported separately as a reportable segment and includes sales for products that are re-sold from the Advanced Manufacturing Capital Equipment into Europe regions as well as sales from other operating segments.
Net revenues from semiconductor capital equipment manufacture and semiconductor device manufacture customers increased by 10% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period in the prior year, and increased sequentially for the previous three quarters starting in the fourth quarter of 2014. The semiconductor capital equipment industry is subject to rapid demand shifts, which are difficult to predict, and we are uncertain as to the timing or extent of future demand or any future weakness in the semiconductor capital equipment industry.
Our net revenues sold to customers in other advanced markets, which exclude semiconductor capital equipment and semiconductor device product applications, increased 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period in the prior year. We have had seven consecutive quarters of growth in our other advanced markets starting in the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Revenues from customers in other advanced markets are made up of many different markets, including general industrial, solar, film, medical, analysis metrology and other markets. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period in the prior year, is primarily attributed to increases in solar, data storage and analysis metrology markets.
A significant portion of our net revenues is from sales to customers in international markets. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, international net revenues accounted for approximately 44% and 42% of our net revenues, respectively. A significant portion of our international net revenues were in Korea and Japan. We expect that international net revenues will continue to represent a significant percentage of our total net revenues.
On March 17, 2015, we acquired Precisive, LLC (Precisive) for $12.1 million, net of cash acquired of $0.4 million. Precisive is an innovative developer of optical analyzers based on Tunable Filter Spectroscopy, which provide real-time gas analysis in the natural gas and hydrocarbon processing industries, including refineries, hydrocarbon processing plants, gas-to-power machines, biogas processes and fuel gas transportation and metering, while delivering customers a lower total cost of ownership.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2014. For further information, please see the discussion of critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 in the section captioned Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Research and development expenses |
$ | 17.6 | $ | 15.4 | 13.9 | % | $ | 34.2 | $ | 31.0 | 10.3 | % |
Research and development expenses increased $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase of $1.2 million in compensation-related expenses of which $0.5 million related to Granville-Phillips, which was acquired in 2014, and $0.6 million for project materials.
Research and development expenses increased $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase of $1.4 million in compensation-related expenses of which $1.1 million related to Granville-Phillips, which was acquired in 2014, and $1.1 million were for project materials.
Our research and development efforts are primarily focused on developing and improving our instruments, components, subsystems and process control solutions to improve process performance and productivity.
We have thousands of products and our research and development efforts primarily consist of a large number of projects related to these products, none of which is individually material to us. Current projects typically have durations of 3 to 30 months depending upon whether the product is an enhancement of existing technology or a new product. Our current initiatives include projects to enhance the performance characteristics of older products, to develop new products and to integrate various technologies into subsystems. These projects support in large part the transition in the semiconductor industry to smaller integrated circuit geometries and in the flat panel display and solar markets to larger substrate sizes, which require more advanced process control technology. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel engaged in research and development, fees paid to consultants, material costs for prototypes and other expenses related to the design, development, testing and enhancement of our products.
We believe that the continued investment in research and development and ongoing development of new products are essential to the expansion of our markets, and we expect to continue to make significant investment in research and development activities. We are subject to risks if products are not developed in a timely manner, due to rapidly changing customer requirements and competitive threats from other companies and technologies. Our success primarily depends on our products being designed into new generations of equipment for the semiconductor industry and other advanced technology markets. We develop products that are technologically advanced so that they are positioned to be chosen for use in each successive generation of semiconductor capital equipment. If our products are not chosen to be designed into our customers products, our net revenues may be reduced during the lifespan of those products.

The three and six months ended June 30, 2015 includes restructuring charges primarily related to severance costs associated with a reduction in workforce of approximately 123 people, primarily at one of our foreign manufacturing sites as we outsourced a non-core manufacturing process. The six months ended June 30, 2014 includes restructuring charges primarily related to severance costs associated with a reduction in workforce of approximately 75 people throughout the Company.

Amortization expense increased by $0.7 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. These increases are primarily attributable to increases in amortization expense from the intangible assets acquired through our Precisive acquisition that was completed in March 2015 and our Granville-Phillips acquisition that was completed in May 2014.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes |
$ | 13.6 | $ | 9.7 | 40.7 | % | $ | 27.3 | $ | 16.4 | 66.3 | % |
Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was 29.1% and 29.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the geographic mix of income and profits earned by the Companys international subsidiaries being taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate and the impact of the deduction for domestic production activities. Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was 31.3% and 23.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate due to the impact of lower tax rates on foreign income and the deduction for domestic production activities. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the discrete release of income tax reserves related to the effective settlement of a foreign tax examination in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
Our future effective tax rate depends on various factors, including the impact of tax legislation, the geographic composition of our pre-tax income, and changes in tax reserves for unrecognized tax benefits. We monitor these factors and timely adjust our estimates of the effective tax rate accordingly. We expect that the geographic mix of pre-tax income will continue to have a favorable impact on our effective tax rate, however the geographic mix of pre-tax income can change based on multiple factors resulting in changes to the effective tax rate in future periods.
31
Additionally, the effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. In particular, the carrying value of deferred tax assets, which are predominantly in the United States, is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in the United States. We have a deferred tax asset of $20.7 million related to a capital loss carryforward for which a full valuation allowance has been recorded. This capital loss expires at December 31, 2015 and we expect to write-off this asset against the valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2015. We expect no impact to our effective tax rate from this write-off.
While we believe we have adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could materially differ from our accrued positions as a result of uncertain and complex application of tax law and regulations. We and our subsidiaries are subject to examination by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Internal Revenue Service commenced an examination of our U.S. federal tax filings for open tax years 2011 through 2013 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Additionally, the recognition and measurement of certain tax benefits include estimates and judgment by management. Accordingly, we could record additional provisions or benefits for U.S. federal, state, and foreign taxes matters in future periods as new information becomes available.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $355.8 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $435.0 million at December 31, 2014.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $58.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and resulted mainly from net income of $67.0 million, which included non-cash charges of $24.4 million, partially offset by a net increase in working capital of $32.6 million. The net increase in working capital was primarily due to an increase in trade accounts receivable of $18.8 million and an increase in inventories of $18.5 million, both related to an increase in business activities, an increase in other current assets of $6.0 million and a decrease in accrued compensation of $2.4 million. These increases in working capital were offset by an increase in other current and non-current liabilities of $6.9 million and an increase in income taxes of $6.4 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $27.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and resulted mainly from net income of $52.5 million, which included non-cash charges of $22.2 million, partially offset by net increase in working capital of $46.6 million. The net increase in working capital was primarily due to a decrease in accrued compensation of $19.7 million, mainly related to a retirement payment to our former chief executive officer, net payments of income taxes of $18.2 million, an increase in inventories of $11.8 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $13.5 million and an increase in other current assets of $3.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $15.8 million and an increase in other current liabilities of $4.5 million.
Net cash used in investing activities of $162.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 resulted primarily from $147.5 million of net purchases of short-term and long-term investments, $9.9 million of cash primarily used for the acquisition of Precisive and $5.3 million in purchases of production related equipment. Net cash used in investing activities of $15.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 resulted primarily from $87.0 million of cash used for the acquisition of Granville-Phillips and $7.3 million in purchases of production related equipment, partially offset by $78.2 million in net sales and maturities of short-term and long-term investments.
Net cash used in financing activities was $22.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and consisted primarily of $17.9 million of dividend payments made to common stockholders, $4.3 million used in the repurchase of common stock and $1.1 million of net payments related to tax payments for employee stock awards. Net cash used in financing activities was $37.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and consisted primarily of $20.8 million used in the repurchase of common stock and $17.3 million of dividend payments made to common stockholders.
Our Japanese subsidiary has lines of credit and short-term borrowing arrangements with two financial institutions which generally expire and are renewed at three month intervals. The lines of credit provide for aggregate borrowings as of June 30, 2015 of up to an equivalent of $18.8 million U.S. dollars. One of the borrowing arrangements has an interest rate based on the Tokyo Interbank Offer Rate at the time of borrowing and the other has an interest rate based on the Japanese Short-term Prime Lending Rate. There were no borrowings outstanding under these arrangements at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
On July 25, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $200 million of our outstanding common stock from time to time in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or through other appropriate means. The timing and quantity of any shares repurchased depends upon a variety of factors, including business conditions, stock market conditions and business development activities, including but not limited to merger and acquisition opportunities. These repurchases may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
32
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we repurchased approximately 116,000 shares of our common stock for $4.3 million, or an average price of $37.55 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we repurchased approximately 728,000 shares of our common stock for $20.8 million, or an average price of $28.59 per share.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.165 per share during the first quarter of 2015 and a cash dividend of $0.17 per share during the second quarter of 2015, which totaled $17.9 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.16 per share during the first quarter of 2014 and a cash dividend of $0.165 per share during the second quarter of 2014, which totaled $17.3 million.
On July 27, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share to be paid on September 11, 2015 to shareholders of record as of August 31, 2015. Future dividend declarations, if any, as well as the record and payment dates for such dividends, are subject to the final determination of the Companys Board of Directors.
Our total cash and cash equivalents and short-term marketable investments at June 30, 2015 consisted of $179.9 million held in the United States and $175.9 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, substantially all of which would be subject to tax in the United States if returned to the United States. We believe our existing United States cash and short-term investment balances are adequate to meet domestic operating needs, including estimated working capital, planned capital expenditure requirements and any future cash dividends, if declared, during the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.
As previously noted, we completed the acquisition of Precisive on March 17, 2015, for approximately $12.1 million, net of cash acquired of $0.4 million. The purchase price includes a deferred payment amount of $2.6 million to cover any potential indemnification claims, which amount will be paid to the sellers after 15 months, assuming there are no indemnification claims.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any financial partnerships with unconsolidated entities, such as entities often referred to as structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities, which are often established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or for other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Accordingly, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably expected to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific guidance. The new standard requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. However, in March 2015 the FASB proposed a one-year deferral, and in July 2015, the FASB agreed to defer by one year the mandatory effective date of its revenue recognition standard, but will also provide entities the option to adopt it as of the original effective date. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. We have not yet selected a transition method. We are currently evaluating the requirements of ASU No. 2014-09 and have not yet determined its impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial StatementsGoing Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under this ASU, management will be required to assess an entitys ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The provisions of this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. This ASU is not expected to have an impact on our financial statements or disclosures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Information concerning market risk is contained in the section entitled Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, there were no material changes in our exposure to market risk from December 31, 2014.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2015. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuers management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2015, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, which have arisen in the ordinary course of business.
In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Information regarding risk factors affecting the Companys business are discussed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 in the section entitled Risk Factors. There have been no material changes from the risks disclosed therein.
