Projects Strong Sequential Growth

Non-GAAP EPS of 18 cents; GAAP EPS of 9 cents

Orders of $2.0 billion up 26% sequentially led by Silicon Systems Group

Expects Q2 non-GAAP EPS of 20 to 28 cents

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 16, 2012 -- Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMAT), the world's leading supplier of manufacturing solutions for the semiconductor, display and solar industries, today reported results for its first quarter of fiscal 2012 ended January 29, 2012.

Applied generated orders of $2.01 billion and net sales of $2.19 billion. Non-GAAP operating income was $344 million, and non-GAAP net income was $240 million or 18 cents per share. GAAP operating income was $179 million, and GAAP net income was $117 million or 9 cents per share. Applied completed the acquisition of Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. during the quarter, and the results include Varian's operations for the full period.

"Global demand for mobile devices is driving a third consecutive year of strong capital investment by semiconductor customers," said Mike Splinter, chairman and chief executive officer. "As a result, we see solid order momentum and an improved outlook overall for our second quarter."

"Applied delivered net sales and earnings above the high end of our expectations," said George Davis, chief financial officer. "In a quarter in which we closed the Varian acquisition, we also returned substantial capital to our stockholders, paying $104 million in cash dividends and using $200 million to repurchase over 18 million shares of our common stock."

During the quarter, Varian generated orders of approximately $270 million and net sales of approximately $200 million which were reported within the Silicon Systems Group (SSG) and the Applied Global Services (AGS) segments. The Varian business contributed approximately $0.01 to the company's non-GAAP EPS, which excludes acquisition-related charges equivalent to approximately $0.09 per share.

Non-GAAP results for the above periods exclude the impact of the following, where applicable: certain discrete tax items, restructuring and asset impairment charges and any associated adjustment related to restructuring actions, certain acquisition-related costs, investment impairments, and gain or loss on sale of facilities. A reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the financial statements included in this release. See also "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

First Quarter Reportable Segment Results and Comparisons to the Prior Quarter

Silicon Systems Group orders were $1.42 billion, up 53 percent reflecting increased demand in foundry and the addition of Varian's business. Net sales were $1.34 billion, up 26 percent. Non-GAAP operating income increased to $386 million or 29 percent of net sales. GAAP operating income was $271 million or 20 percent of net sales. New order composition was: foundry 57 percent, logic and other 14 percent, flash 19 percent, and DRAM 10 percent.

Applied Global Services orders were $517 million, down 8 percent. Net sales were $534 million, down 15 percent, in line with the company's expectations. AGS orders and net sales reflected lower wafer starts, partially offset by the addition of Varian's business; net sales also reflected lower thin film solar volumes. Non-GAAP operating income decreased to $113 million or 21 percent of net sales, reflecting the decrease in net sales. GAAP operating income was $107 million or 20 percent of net sales.

Display orders were $40 million, reflecting ongoing weakness in LCD TV equipment demand. Net sales were $104 million, down 39 percent, and non-GAAP operating income decreased to $7 million or 7 percent of net sales, driven by the decrease in net sales. GAAP operating income was $5 million or 5 percent of net sales.

Energy and Environmental Solutions (EES) orders were $33 million, down 62 percent, reflecting solar industry overcapacity. Net sales were $207 million, down 34 percent. The segment had a non-GAAP operating loss of $17 million and a GAAP operating loss of $23 million.

Additional Quarterly Financial Information

Backlog decreased by $230 million from the fourth quarter to $2.2 billion.
Non-GAAP gross margin was 40.7 percent, up from 39.5 percent in the fourth quarter. The GAAP gross margin was 35.9 percent, down from 39.0 percent in the fourth quarter.

The effective tax rate was 26.4 percent.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments decreased to $2.95 billion primarily due to the acquisition of Varian for approximately $4.2 billion, net of cash acquired.

Business Outlook
For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, Applied expects net sales to be up 5 percent to 15 percent sequentially. The company expects non-GAAP EPS to be in the range of $0.20 to $0.28. The non-GAAP EPS outlook excludes known charges related to completed acquisitions of approximately $0.05 per share but does not exclude other non-GAAP adjustments that may arise subsequent to this release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses non-GAAP results 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. Applied believes these measures enhance investors' ability to review the company's business from the same perspective as the company's management and facilitate comparisons of this period's results with prior periods. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Webcast Information
Applied Materials will discuss these results during an earnings call that begins at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time today. A live webcast will be available at www.appliedmaterials.com.
