(Nasdaq:UTEK), today announced unaudited results for the three-month and one year periods ended December 31, 2003. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, Ultratech reported net sales of $26.8 million compared to $20.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2002. Ultratech's net income for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $3.3 million or $0.13 per share (diluted) compared to a net loss of $2.4 million or $0.11 per share (diluted) for the same quarter last year. Ultratech's net sales for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $100.1 million compared to net sales of $68.5 million for fiscal 2002. Ultratech posted net income of $7.6 million or $0.31 per share (diluted) during the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to a net loss of $25.4 million or $1.12 per share (diluted) for the full year 2002. Arthur W. Zafiropoulo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our fourth quarter sales were driven by strong demand from our advanced packaging customers, coupled with interest from the data storage market. In addition, I am very pleased to announce that in the fourth quarter Ultratech derived revenue from its first laser processing beta production tool. We believe firmly that the implementation of laser spike anneal is an enabling technology for junction formation as the industry moves to the 65- and 45-nanometer node, which is designed to translate into significant long term growth potential for Ultratech." "Over the course of 2003, we were successful in gaining market share in key areas. Our improved financial performance reflected the steps we took to streamline our operations, resulting in stronger bottom line results throughout the year. We believe our advanced, cost-effective technology solutions will continue to meet customer and market demands as the industry recovers, and we believe Ultratech may achieve growth greater than our industry average in 2004." At December 31, 2003, Ultratech had $165.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and a current ratio of 7.5:1. Working capital was $170.5 million and stockholders' equity was $8.09 per share based on 23,582,125 total shares outstanding on December 31, 2003.
