Revenues for the third quarter of 2015 totaled $190.5 million, up 13.9% from $167.3 million in the third quarter of 2014.

In the Company’s Production Solutions for Electronics Industry segment:

 

  -   Revenues from the Company’s semiconductor device (“SD”) business were $70.2 million, including $58.4 million in equipment sales, in the third quarter of 2015. This compares to SD business revenues of $53.3 million (including $45.6 million in equipment sales) in the third quarter of 2014. Revenues from the SD business on a standalone basis for the full third quarter of 2014 totaled $57.3 million.
  -   Revenues from the Company’s printed circuit board (“PCB”) business were $64.2 million, including $34.5 million in equipment sales, in the third quarter of 2015. This compares to PCB revenues of $71.7 million (including $41.4 million in equipment sales) in the third quarter of 2014.
  -   Revenues from the Company’s flat panel display (“FPD”) business were $48.5 million, including $38.6 million in equipment sales, in the third quarter of 2015. This compares to FPD revenues of $34.9 million (including $26.7 million in equipment sales) in the third quarter of 2014.

Revenues in the Company’s other segments were $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared with $7.4 million in the third quarter of 2014.

Service revenues for the third quarter of 2015 were $53.5 million, compared with $47.8 million in the third quarter of 2014.

Revenues for the first nine months of 2015 totaled $564.3 million, compared with $385.3 million in the first nine months of 2014 (excluding the Company’s SD business, revenues totaled $372.1 million, up 12.1% from $332.0 million the first nine months of 2014).

Gross profit and gross margin in the third quarter of 2015 were $86.3 million and 45.3%, respectively, compared with $74.0 million and 44.2%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2014. Gross profit and gross margin in the first nine months of 2015 were $255.2 million and 45.2%, respectively, compared with $168.3 million and 43.7%, respectively, in the first nine months of 2014.

GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2015 was $15.9 million, or $0.37 per share (diluted), up from $7.4 million, or $0.17 per share (diluted), for the third quarter of 2014. GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2015 was $40.7 million, or $0.94 per share (diluted), up from $22.3 million, or $0.52 per share (diluted), for the first nine months of 2014. GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2015 included a pre-tax gain of approximately $0.6 million related to the sale of the Company’s Thermal Products business.

Non-GAAP net income in the third quarter of 2014 was positively affected in the amount of $7.3 million as a result of the timing of incurrence of expenses and the recognition of revenues as a result of the SPTS acquisition timing, as previously disclosed. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income margin for the first nine months of 2015 were $67.4 million and 11.9%, respectively, compared with $41.3 million and 10.7%, for the first nine months of 2014.

Non-GAAP earnings per share in the third quarter of 2014 were positively affected in the amount of $0.17, likewise due to the SPTS acquisition timing factors discussed above. Non-GAAP earnings per share (diluted) for the first nine months of 2015 was $1.56, compared with $0.97 per share (diluted), for the first nine months of 2014.

(1) Credit Facility EBITDA does not reflect any annualized expense reductions anticipated as a result of operational changes made as part of the SPTS Acquisition estimated by us in good faith as permitted by the Credit Agreement. Because we are in the preliminary stages of assessing our operations after the SPTS Acquisition, this adjustment does not include any amount of cost savings, business optimization opportunities or synergies that we believe may be available. Although we are carefully assessing the efficiency of our business, we may not identify or achieve any cost savings in the timeframe or amount we anticipate, if at all. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on our ability to achieve cost savings or synergies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income margin, non-GAAP net income per share detailed in the Reconciliation exclude charges, income or losses, as applicable, related to one or more of the following: (i) equity-based compensation expenses; (ii) certain items associated with acquisitions, including amortization of intangibles and acquisition costs; (iii) certain items associated with sale or disposition of businesses; (iv) tax impact; and/or (v) share in losses of associated company. The Company uses the non-GAAP measures indicated in the Reconciliation, which give full year effect to the SPTS Acquisition, to supplement the Company’s financial results presented on a GAAP basis. These non-GAAP measures exclude equity based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, share in losses/profits of associated companies, as well as certain financial expenses and non-recurring income items that are believed to be helpful in understanding and comparing past operating and financial performance with current results. Management uses all of the non-GAAP measures 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. Orbotech believes that these measures enhance investors’ ability to review the Company’s business from the same perspective as the Company’s management and facilitate comparisons with results for prior periods. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. However, the non-GAAP measures presented are subject to limitations as an analytical tool because they exclude certain recurring items (such as, equity compensation, interest expense and amortization of intangible assets) as described below and in the Reconciliation. The presentation of this additional non-GAAP information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income; net income attributable to Orbotech Ltd. or earnings per share prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a quantification of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP measures, please see the Reconciliation.

The effect of equity-based compensation expenses has been excluded from the non-GAAP measures. Although equity-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees, and the Company believes such compensation contributed to the revenues earned during the periods presented and also believes it will contribute to the generation of future period revenues, the Company continues to evaluate its business performance excluding equity based compensation expenses. Equity-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.

The effects of amortization of intangible assets have also been excluded from the measures. This item is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods and the Company may be required to record additional impairment charges in the future. The Company believes that it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on total operating expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA and Credit Facility EBITDA are each also a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Orbotech Ltd., further adjusted, in addition to the items described above, to exclude taxes on income, financial expenses (income) – net and depreciation. The Company presents adjusted EBITDA because it considers it to be an important supplemental measure and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in Orbotech’s industry. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA is not based on the definition in the Credit Agreement governing the term loan incurred in connection with the SPTS acquisition. Credit Facility EBITDA reflects additional adjustments to adjusted EBITDA permitted by the Credit Agreement as described in the Reconciliation and reflects the calculation for the twelve months ended September 30, 2015, a period that is permitted to be shown under the Credit Agreement, but is not consistent with our historical financial periods. Although the Company believes its presentation of each of adjusted EBITDA and Credit Facility EBITDA is useful, its adjusted EBITDA measure and Credit Facility EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

For more information about all of the foregoing items, see the Reconciliation, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2014 and its other SEC filings.
