Management Comments
“Our strong third quarter performance highlights the strength of our portfolio and the improved earnings power of our revised organization structure.  Sequential growth in automation, contamination control, BioStore systems, and BioStorage services has supported improved gross margins and cash flow,” commented Steve Schwartz, CEO of Brooks Automation. “Our Life Sciences business has continued to execute well, with growth coming from both large sample storage systems and BioStorage Technologies services.  Both semiconductor and life sciences segments are on track to yield further growth and improve profits.”

GAAP Summary
Revenue increased 9% sequentially to $147.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, driven by a 10% increase in Life Sciences and a 9% increase in Brooks Semiconductor Solutions Group (formerly Brooks Product Solutions and Brooks Global Services). Gross margin was 36.7%, up 2.1 percentage points from the second fiscal quarter of 2016.  Operating expense of $45.7 million was 14% or $7.5 million less than the previous quarter primarily driven by lower restructuring charges.  In the third quarter, the Company incurred $1.0 million of restructuring charges compared to $7.3 million in the second quarter. The Company had a $0.2 million benefit from the reversal of accrued incentive based compensation for employees separated from the Company, compared to a $1.7 million similar benefit in the second quarter. GAAP net income was $8.6 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.12.

Beginning in the third quarter, the Company consolidated the operating results of Brooks Product Solutions (BPS) and Brooks Global Solutions (BGS) into one segment, referred to as Brooks Semiconductor Solutions Group, or BSSG, to better align with its new organizational structure and to reflect how strategic directions and resources are determined. The Brooks Life Sciences Systems (BLSS) segment remains unchanged.

Amortization of intangibles, special charges, and one-time items are appropriately included in the GAAP summary of earnings.  The impact on earnings of these items is set out in the unaudited table included with this release.

Results of Q3 Fiscal 2016 (Non-GAAP Discussion)
Non-GAAP net income was $11.1 million in the third quarter, resulting in non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.16. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $4.9 million and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.07 in the second quarter, and non-GAAP net income of $10.3 million and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.15 in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

As noted above, revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 2016 was $147.5 million, up 9% compared to the second fiscal quarter of 2016. The Brooks Semiconductor Solutions Group revenue increased 9% to $118.4 million, primarily driven by sales of Contamination Control Solutions of $15.8 million, up $9.6 million from the second quarter.  Brooks Life Science Systems revenue grew 10% sequentially to $29.1 million, driven by 11% or $1.6 million sequential growth in the legacy business and 9% or $1.0 million growth in the recently acquired BioStorage services business, which reached $12.4 million of revenue in the quarter.

Adjusted gross margin, which excludes amortization, purchase accounting impacts and special charges, was 37.5% in the third quarter, up 2.2 percentage points from the prior quarter. The Semiconductor Solutions adjusted gross margin was 36.9% in the third quarter compared to 34.5% in the prior period, with improvements coming from both product and services lines.  The Life Sciences adjusted gross margin was 40.0% in the third quarter compared to 38.5% in the prior period, with the legacy Life Sciences business delivering improved margins from large store systems. Gross margins for BioStorage Technologies were 43.9%, up 0.4 percentage points. In summary, the total adjusted gross profit increased by $7.6 million compared to the prior quarter, driven by revenue increases and gross margin improvements across both segments.

Bookings for the Semiconductor Solutions business in the third quarter totaled $115.2 million, compared to $108.6 million in the second quarter.  The Life Sciences business booked a total of $40.6 million of new contract value in the quarter.

Non-GAAP operating expense of $41.8 million decreased $0.7 million sequentially, driven primarily by the restructuring actions initiated in the second quarter. The operating expense includes a benefit from the reversal of incentive based compensation accruals for employees departing in this quarter of $0.2 million, compared to $1.6 million in the second fiscal quarter.

Cash flow from operations was $15.7 million in the quarter and adjusted EBITDA was $19.0 million.  The Company's cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities increased $3.9 million to $72.2 million as of June 30, 2016, which reflects the operating cash flow, dividend payment and capital expenditures during the quarter.

Quarterly Cash Dividend
The Company additionally announced that the Board of Directors has approved a dividend of $0.10 per share payable on September 23, 2016 to stockholders of record on September 2, 2016. Future dividend declarations, as well as the record and payment dates for such dividends, are subject to the final determination of the Company's Board of Directors.

Guidance for Fourth Fiscal Quarter 2016
The Company announced revenue and earnings guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. Revenue is expected to be in the range of $146 million to $151 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.14 to $0.17. (GAAP diluted EPS is projected to be $0.06 to $0.09, reflecting the impact of amortization, purchase price accounting, and anticipated restructuring charges.)

Notes on Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
The information in this press release is for: internal managerial purposes; when publicly providing guidance on future results; and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. These financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management believes these financial measures provide an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations, that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our business. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single measure.

The press release includes financial measures which exclude the effects of special charges such as restructuring charges and acquisition related charges. Management believes these measures are useful to investors because it eliminates accounting charges that do not reflect Brooks' day-to-day operations. Tables reconciling GAAP to the non-GAAP measures are presented below.
