ORBOTECH LTD. (NASDAQ/NM SYMBOL: ORBK) today announced its
consolidated financial results for the third quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 2008. Revenues for the third quarter of
2008 were $94.8 million, compared to $105.1 million recorded in the
second quarter of 2008 and $82.3 million in the third quarter a
year ago. Net loss for the third quarter of 2008 was $43.1 million,
or $1.29 per share (diluted), compared to net income of $5.3
million, or $0.16 per share (diluted), in the second quarter of
2008, and net income of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per share (diluted),
in the third quarter of 2007. Net loss for the third quarter of
2008 reflects: (a) an impairment charge of $38.5 million ($32.8
million net of taxes) relating to a write-down of substantially all
of the goodwill and intellectual property of Orbotech Medical
Denmark A/S following a determination that the carrying value of
that goodwill and intellectual property exceeded its fair value.
This followed an updated forecasted discounted cash flow analysis
which was based on a decline in the Company�s business outlook in
Orbotech�s medical imaging segment; (b) an impairment charge of
$5.4 million relating to a write-off of the remaining goodwill of
the Company�s assembled PCB business; and (c) a restructuring
charge of $3.7 million ($3.3 million net of taxes) in connection
with the first phase of the Company�s 2008 cost reduction program.
An additional restructuring charge will be recorded in the fourth
quarter of 2008 for the second phase of this program. Revenues for
the first nine months of 2008 totaled $300.3 million, compared to
$257.0 million recorded during the corresponding period in 2007.
Net loss for the first nine months of 2008 was $34.1 million, or
$1.02 per share (diluted), compared to net income of $2.6 million,
or $0.08 per share (diluted), for the corresponding period last
year. Net loss for the first nine months of 2008 includes the
impairment and restructuring charges mentioned above. Sales of
equipment to the printed circuit board (�PCB�) industry relating to
bare PCBs were $27.7 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared
to $34.5 million in the second quarter of 2008, and $37.2 million
in the third quarter of 2007. Sales of flat panel display (�FPD�)
inspection equipment were $31.7 million, compared to $29.8 million
in the second quarter of 2008, and $8.8 million in the third
quarter of last year. Sales of equipment to the PCB industry
relating to assembled PCBs were $3.9 million, compared to $7.5
million in the second quarter this year, and $5.7 million in the
third quarter of 2007. Sales of automatic check reading products
were $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $2.7
million in the second quarter of 2008, and $2.9 million recorded in
the third quarter of 2007. Sales of medical imaging equipment were
$3.4 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $4.4 million
in the second quarter of 2008, and $3.4 million in the third
quarter of 2007 (the Company acquired this business on August 6,
2007). In addition, service revenue for the third quarter of 2008
was $26.0 million, a slight decrease compared to the $26.2 million
recorded in the second quarter of 2008. Service revenue in the
third quarter of 2007 was $24.3 million. The Company completed the
quarter with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, net
of indebtedness, of approximately $181.6 million, compared to
approximately $196.0 million at the end of the second quarter. The
Company�s marketable securities at the end of the quarter included
approximately $27.6 million of auction-rate securities (ARS) tied
to student loans, of which $8.5 million have since been redeemed at
par value during October 2008. The Company believes that there is
no credit risk attached to its remaining ARS portfolio. In
connection with the closing of Orbotech�s acquisition of Photon
Dynamics, Inc. (�PDI�) on October 2, 2008, the Company borrowed
$160 million. This loan is for an initial term of one year,
extendable at the Company�s option for up to 5 years, and currently
bears interest at three-month LIBOR + 1.45%. After the closing of
this transaction the Company�s cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities totaled approximately $115 million. The
Company continues to place a very high priority on the management
of its cash flows and believes that its proven ability to manage
cash, including in times of difficulty, will be a critical factor
in enabling Orbotech to emerge strongly from the current downturn.
Revenues from the PCB industry were significantly lower than
expected for the quarter. As noted in its updated guidance issued
in October, certain of the Company�s PCB customers have deferred
deliveries for the Company�s PCB systems, due to their increased
continuing difficulties in securing credit facilities in respect of
previously-confirmed orders and in light of the overall economic
uncertainty. The Company recorded higher revenues in sales of
FPD-AOI equipment as a result of increased capital investments by
LCD manufacturers. The Company has not experienced any
cancellations of existing orders for its FPD inspection products;
however, certain deliveries have been deferred by customers for
periods ranging from two to nine months. As mentioned above, on
October 2, 2008, the Company consummated its acquisition of PDI. As
a result, the Company will begin to record additional FPD revenues
during the fourth quarter of 2008. However, given the prevailing,
considerable worldwide economic uncertainty and its effect on the
electronics industry, the Company is currently unable to estimate
reliably revenue levels in this area of its business for periods
subsequent to 2008. The integration of PDI is proceeding as
scheduled, and the Company expects to realize operational synergies
of approximately $15 - 20 million in 2009. In light of the current
worldwide economic conditions the Company is re-focusing its
strategic plan. Commencing in the third quarter of 2008, the
Company began scaling back its activities in the assembled PCB
business. This process will continue through the end of the year,
after which the Company will no longer develop and market assembled
PCB equipment, but will continue to service its installed base of
products. Additionally, the Company has adopted certain measures
designed to re-align its infrastructure, including: an
approximately 15% reduction in the Company�s worldwide workforce in
the third and fourth quarters of 2008; a 15% reduction in corporate
management salaries; lesser reductions in other employee salaries;
and other cost-cutting measures. Rani Cohen, Chief Executive
Officer, commented: �The worldwide macro-economic conditions have
led to sharply declining consumer demand and a consequent reduction
in orders for our products. In addition, the global limitation on
access to financing is clearly having an adverse effect on
worldwide electronics capital equipment spending. In response to
these conditions, and in light of the uncertain overall economic
outlook, we are implementing actions designed to re-align our
strategic focus and reduce our cost base. Though inevitably
impacted to some degree, we will still maintain our program of
selective investments in research and development, and we will
continue to preserve and improve our customer service and support
infrastructure. The active steps we are taking, as well as our
exceptional technology, outstanding employees and acknowledged
industry leadership, should stand us in good stead during this
period of downturn and lay the foundation for growth once the
business environment improves.� Commenting on the recent closing of
the PDI acquisition Mr. Cohen added: �We believe that our
acquisition of Photon Dynamics, Inc. represents a strategically
important, stable and long-term investment for the Company that
will not only give rise to considerable synergies but will also
enable significant enhancements in FPD yield management and process
control, and create potential for other exciting new products in
the future.� An earnings conference call is scheduled for Monday,
