KLA-Tencor Reports Fiscal Year 2010 First Quarter Results

MILPITAS, Calif., Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- KLA-Tencor Corporation
(Nasdaq: KLAC) today announced operating results for its first quarter of
fiscal year 2010, which ended on September 30, 2009. KLA-Tencor reported GAAP
net income of $20 million and GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.12 on
revenues of $343 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.

"KLA-Tencor delivered stronger-than-expected results and returned to
profitability in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, led by a sharp increase in
demand from foundry customers. Our results were also favorably impacted by a
one-time non-operating gain and by a lower than normal tax rate," commented
Rick Wallace, President and Chief Executive Officer of KLA-Tencor. "We
announced several new products targeted at addressing our customers'
next-generation wafer and reticle inspection requirements. As our customers
increase their technology investments at the leading edge, we are advancing
our market leadership while remaining focused on cost discipline."

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in
accordance with GAAP, we provide certain non-GAAP financial information, which
is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain costs and expenses,
as well as other supplemental information. The non-GAAP and supplemental
information is provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our
operating performance and our prospects in the future. Specifically, we
believe the non-GAAP information provides useful measures to both management
and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to our
financial performance by excluding certain costs and expenses that we believe
are not indicative of our core operating results. The non-GAAP information is
among the budgeting and planning tools that management uses for future
forecasting. The presentation of non-GAAP and supplemental information is not
meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared
and presented in accordance with United States GAAP.

a Acquisition related charges include amortization of intangible assets,
inventory fair value adjustments, and in-process research and development
associated with acquisitions. Management believes that the expense associated
with the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets is appropriate
to be excluded because a significant portion of the purchase price for
acquisitions may be allocated to intangible assets that have short lives, and
exclusion of the amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results
that are consistent over time for both KLA-Tencor's newly acquired and
long-held businesses. Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude
inventory fair value adjustments, and in-process research and development as
they are not indicative of ongoing operating results and therefore limit
comparability. Management believes excluding these items helps investors
compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods as well as
with the performance of other companies.

b Restructuring, severance and other related charges include gains and costs
associated with the company's facilities divestment and consolidation program,
reductions in force, entry into a severance and consulting agreement with the
company's former president/chief operating officer, gains from sale of
facilities, and asset impairment (other than impairment of goodwill and
intangible assets, which is included within the category described in note (d)
below) from discontinuing or making available for sale certain acquired
product lines. Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude those
items as they are not indicative of ongoing operating results and therefore
limit comparability. Management believes excluding these items helps
investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods
as well as with the performance of other companies.

c Restatement related charges include legal and other expenses related to the
stock option investigation, shareholder litigation and related matters.
Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude those items as they are
not indicative of ongoing operating results and therefore limit comparability.
Management believes excluding these items helps investors compare our
operating performance with our results in prior periods as well as with the
performance of other companies.

d Goodwill and intangible asset impairment includes non-cash expense
recognized as a result of the testing for intangible asset impairment driven
by certain company-specific triggering events, as well as the impairment of
goodwill and intangible assets as a result of discontinuing acquired products
and making acquired products available for sale. Management believes that it
is appropriate to exclude those items as they are not indicative of ongoing
operating results and therefore limit comparability. Management believes
excluding these items helps investors compare our operating performance with
our results in prior periods as well as with the performance of other
companies.

e Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments includes the income tax effects of
the excluded items noted above. Management believes that it is appropriate to
exclude the tax effects of the items noted above in order to present a more
meaningful measure of non-GAAP net income.
