Ultratech Announces First Quarter 2014 Results
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 24, 2014--Ultratech, Inc. (Nasdaq:UTEK) a leading supplier of lithography, laser-processing and inspection systems used to manufacture semiconductor devices and high-brightness LEDs (HB-LEDs), today announced unaudited results for the three-month period ended March 29, 2014.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2014, Ultratech reported net sales of $31.6 million as compared to $60.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Ultratech's net loss for the first quarter of 2014 was $7.0 million, or $(0.25) per share, as compared to net income of $13.7 million, or $0.48 per share (diluted), for the same quarter last year.
“Our revenues for the first quarter of 2014 increased 32 percent sequentially, driven by both our advanced packaging and high-brightness LED businesses,” stated Arthur W. Zafiropoulo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our customers trust Ultratech to deliver innovative technologies that are critical for the industry to continue to advance, and we are encouraged by the adoption of our laser spike annealing systems for 14 nanometer technology. Based on customer input, increased quote activity and orders in hand, we believe that we are well positioned to have a stronger second half of the year.”
At March 29, 2014, Ultratech had $290.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Working capital was $344.0 million and stockholders' equity was $13.59 per share based on 28,048,797 total shares outstanding as of March 29, 2014.
