Management Comments
“We finished the fiscal year with a strong fourth quarter led by the strength of our new products that serve the semiconductor industry. Our Contamination Control Solutions products are rapidly becoming the standard for fabs,” stated Dr. Steve Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of Brooks. “Our improved earnings are a testament to our superior products and the improvements we have made in our cost structure. We exited the fiscal year leaner and more flexible than we started the year and better positioned to deal with the variability in the semiconductor space. With our announcement earlier today of the agreement to acquire BioStorage Technologies, we are broadening our base in the growth space of the Life Sciences market.”

GAAP Summary
Revenue increased 1% sequentially to $145.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, while gross margin improved 90 basis points to 36.2% and operating expense was $42.7 million, an increase of $1.6 million. Other (expense) income, net was an expense of $2.2 million in the quarter as the company reduced the value of a building held for sale by $1.9 million. The GAAP net income result was $6.6 million and diluted EPS was $0.10.

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 Q4 Fiscal 2015 (Non-GAAP Discussion)
Non-GAAP net income was $11.4 million in the fourth fiscal quarter, resulting in non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.17. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $10.3 million and non-GAAP EPS of $0.15 in the third quarter.

As noted above, revenue for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 was $145.8 million, an increase of 1% compared to the third fiscal quarter of 2015. Global Services revenue increased 6% to $24.9 million on increased repair activity. Life Science Systems revenue increased 2% to $17.1 million driven by a store systems project delivered in Japan. Product Solutions revenue declined 1% to $103.8 million. The segment saw an increase in sales of contamination control solutions offset by lower sales of automation and Polycold vacuum offerings.

Adjusted gross margin, which excludes amortization, was 37.1% in the quarter, up from 36.2% in the prior quarter. The Product Solutions adjusted gross margin was 38.5% in the fourth quarter compared to 37.3% in the prior period. The gross margin improvement was primarily driven by product mix and improved cost performance in the cryogenic pump offerings. The Life Science Systems adjusted gross margin was 27.9% compared to 30.2% in the prior quarter. The Global Services adjusted gross margin was 37.5% in the fourth quarter compared to 35.6% in the prior quarter. In summary, the total adjusted gross profit increase of $1.6 million includes an increase of $1.9 million in the Product Solutions and Global Services segments on higher revenue with improved margins, and a decrease of $0.3 million from Life Science Systems segment on lower margins.

Total order bookings in the fourth quarter were $113.5 million compared to $151.7 million in the third quarter. The Life Science Systems business had $12.4 million of new orders in the fourth quarter, bringing total backlog to $40 million and 12-month backlog to $30 million. Bookings for the semiconductor business in the Product Solutions and Global Services segments totaled $101.1 million, compared to $137.9 million in the third quarter.

Non-GAAP operating expense of $39.5 million increased 2% sequentially driven primarily by increased research and development expense.

Other (expense) income, net was an expense of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter, compared to income of $0.5 million in the third quarter. Interest income, net was $0.1 million in the fourth quarter, unchanged from the prior quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $20.3 million, a 2% increase compared to the third quarter. Cash flow from operations for the fourth quarter was $22.3 million, compared to $16.5 million in the third quarter. The Company's cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities decreased $0.6 million in the fourth quarter to $214.0 million.

Fiscal Year 2015 Results (Non-GAAP Discussion)
Revenue for the full fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 was $553 million, an increase of 14% compared to revenue of $483 million in 2014. The year-over-year growth was driven by growth in Product Solutions of 20% and Life Science Systems of 8%. Global Services revenue was flat year-over-year. Non-GAAP net income increased 78% to $30.5 million, or $0.45 per diluted share in fiscal 2015 from $17.2 million or $0.25 per diluted share in 2014.

During fiscal year 2015, we invested approximately $23 million of cash for the acquisitions of FluidX and Contact including debt paydown, and returned $27 million to shareholders in the form of dividends. Operating cash flow for the fiscal year of $44 million combined with our total financing and investing activity, resulted in the year-end balance for cash and equivalents of $214 million at September 30, 2015.
