Business Outlook

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, Applied expects net sales to be up 15 percent to 19 percent sequentially. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.61 to $0.69.

This outlook for non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS excludes known charges related to completed acquisitions of $0.04 per share and any additional charges related to completed or future acquisitions or other non-operational or unusual items that are unknown at this time, as well as other tax related items, which we are not able to predict without unreasonable efforts due to their inherent uncertainty.

Third Quarter Reportable Segment Information

Effective in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, Applied has expanded its Display segment to now include roll-to-roll web coating systems (previously in Energy and Environmental Solutions) and display upgrade equipment (previously in Applied Global Services). The Display segment is now named Display and Adjacent Markets. Applied no longer reports Energy and Environmental Solutions as a segment and its solar business is now included in Corporate and Other. The Silicon Systems segment is now named Semiconductor Systems and is otherwise unchanged. Applied Global Services continues to include 200-millimeter semiconductor equipment sales. Segment operating results for previous periods have been recast to conform to the current presentation in the table below and in the supplemental historical information accompanying this release.

Use of Non-GAAP Adjusted Financial Measures

Applied provides investors with certain non-GAAP adjusted financial measures, which are adjusted to exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, including certain items related to mergers and acquisitions; restructuring charges and any associated adjustments; impairments of assets, or investments; gain or loss on sale of strategic investments; income tax items and certain other discrete adjustments. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are provided in the financial tables included in this release.

Management uses these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to evaluate the company’s operating and financial performance and for planning purposes, and as performance measures in its executive compensation program. Applied believes these measures enhance an overall understanding of our performance and 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 on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operating performance. There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and may exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures 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.

1	These items are incremental charges attributable to completed acquisitions, consisting of amortization of purchased intangible assets.
2	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 31, 2016 primarily included benefit from sales of solar equipment tools for which inventory had been previously reserved related to the cost reductions in the solar business.
4	Results for the three months ended May 1, 2016 included a $1 million favorable adjustment of employee-related costs associated with the cost reductions in the solar business.
5	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.
6	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.
7	Amounts for nine months ended July 26, 2015 included an adjustment to decrease the provision for income taxes by $35 million 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.
8	These amounts represent non-GAAP adjustments above multiplied by the effective tax rate within the jurisdictions the adjustments affect.
