SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 13, 2015 - Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMAT), the global leader in materials engineering solutions for the semiconductor, display and solar industries, today reported results for its third quarter ended July 26, 2015.
Third quarter orders were $2.89 billion, up 15 percent sequentially and up 17 percent year over year. Net sales were $2.49 billion, up 2 percent sequentially and up 10 percent year over year.
On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, the company reported gross margin of 43.9 percent, operating margin of 20.8 percent, and net income of $410 million or $0.33 per diluted share. The company recorded GAAP gross margin of 40.9 percent, operating margin of 15.9 percent, and net income of $329 million or $0.27 per diluted share. The GAAP results included the effect of cost reduction actions in the solar business consisting of $34 million of inventory charges and $17 million of restructuring and asset impairment charges.

The company generated $334 million in cash from operations, paid dividends of $123 million and used $625 million to repurchase 32 million shares of common stock.

“Applied is focused on profitable growth and the results show in our third-quarter performance when we delivered our highest ever 300mm semiconductor equipment orders and record revenue in services,” said Gary Dickerson, president and CEO. “Our highly differentiated materials engineering products help customers accelerate major technology inflections including 3D NAND, and this quarter we generated the highest flash memory orders in our history.”

Use of Non-GAAP Adjusted Financial Measures
Management uses non-GAAP adjusted 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. A replay will be available on the website beginning at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time today.

These items are incremental charges attributable to completed acquisitions, consisting of amortization of purchased intangible assets.

These items are incremental charges related to the terminated business combination agreement with Tokyo Electron Limited, consisting of acquisition-related and integration planning costs.
 
 
3
Results for the three and nine months ended July 26, 2015 primarily included $34 million of inventory charges and $17 million of restructuring charges and asset impairments related to cost reductions in the solar business.
 
 
4
Results for the nine months ended July 27, 2014 included a $7 million of employee-related costs related to the restructuring program announced on October 3, 2012.
 
 
5
Results for the three and nine months ended July 26, 2015 included a $19 million foreign exchange loss due to an immaterial correction of an error related to functional currency change.
 
 
6
Amounts for the three months ended April 26, 2015 and nine months ended July 26, 2015 included an adjustment to decrease the provision for income taxes by $39 million and $35 million, respectively, with a corresponding increase in net income, resulting in an increase in diluted earnings per share of $0.03. The adjustment was excluded in Applied's non-GAAP adjusted results and was made primarily to correct an error in the recognition of cost of sales in the U.S. related to intercompany sales, which resulted in overstating profitability in the U.S. and the provision for income taxes in immaterial amounts in each year since fiscal 2010.
