Revenues Grew 6 Percent Compared With Last Year to $94.8 Million
Income From Continuing Operations Was $0.19 Per Diluted Share
Income Includes Asset Impairment Charge of $0.28 Per Diluted Share and a Gain of $0.03 Per Diluted Share
DANBURY, Conn., Feb. 4, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ATMI, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATMI), a global technology company, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Revenues from continuing operations were $94.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of 6 percent compared with $89.2 million during the same period last year, lifted by strong demand for products in Microelectronics, especially implant, and eVOLV™ license revenues. Income from continuing operations was $6.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, and included a pre-tax asset impairment charge of $11.5 million ($0.28 per diluted share), and a pre-tax gain of $1.2 million ($0.03 per diluted share) on the sale of a marketable security. Excluding these one-time items in the quarter, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.44. Income from continuing operations during the fourth quarter of 2012 was $11.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted share.
"We concluded 2013 on a strong note in regards to operating performance and strategic objectives," said Chief Executive Officer Doug Neugold. "Microelectronics achieved meaningful revenue growth in a challenging demand environment, and we recognized license revenues for eVOLV, our electronic waste recovery technology. On the strategic front, the divestiture of LifeSciences to Pall Corporation allows us to recognize the value of the business while placing it in the hands of a strategic owner with the desire and ability to grow in single-use technology. Finally, with the pending acquisition by Entegris, Inc., the consolidation we have enabled within the semiconductor supply chain will result in an even stronger supplier of performance materials and related consumable technologies to the world's integrated circuit (IC) producers."
Operating expense increased due primarily to the $11.5 million impairment charge related to certain of our High Productivity Development assets. This action was taken to better align the research and development asset base with the select number of manufacturers producing leading node semiconductors.
ATMI will not conduct a conference call with analysts or investors to discuss these quarterly results due to the pending acquisition by Entegris, Inc. The company expects to file its form 10-K with the SEC on or about March 7, 2014.
