Company Press Release
Nova Increases Second Quarter Revenue Guidance to $37-$39 Million
Adjusted Guidance Suggests Record Quarterly Revenue
with Sequential Revenue Growth of at least 35%
Rehovot, Israel, June 3, 2015 - Nova Measuring Instruments Ltd. (NASDAQ: NVMI), a leading innovator and a key provider of metrology solutions for advanced process control used in semiconductor manufacturing, today increased its outlook for the second quarter of 2015, with adjusted quarterly revenue guidance of $37-$39 million, compared to previously guided numbers of $33-$35 million. Based on the adjusted revenue estimates, management now expects GAAP EPS to be in the range of $0.00 to $0.04, and Non GAAP EPS to be in the range of $0.14 to $0.18.
“We are excited to see that following the acquisition of ReVera, we are experiencing better than expected revenue for the second quarter,” commented Eitan Oppenhaim, President and CEO of Nova. “Our efforts to further strengthen our position in the most advanced nodes appear to be successful with growing orders for advanced 10/16 FinFET nodes. In fact, the new quarterly guidance reflects more than $14 million in aggregate revenues from our largest foundry customer. This guidance indicates record revenue quarter for Nova, and puts us on track for a third consecutive record-high revenue year in 2015.”
2015 Analyst Day in New York City
Management will discuss the adjusted guidance during its analyst day on Tuesday, June 9 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Le Parker Meridien in New York City. The senior leadership team will also address the company's strategic direction and the recent acquisition of ReVera, as well as Nova’s unique product offerings and significant market opportunities.
RSVP is required. Please email nvmi@haydenir.com if you are interested in attending.
