KLA-Tencor Q1 Tops View, To Combine With Lam Research In $10.6 Bln Deal

(RTTNews) - KLA-Tencor Corp. (KLAC), a provider of process control and yield management solutions, said first-quarter net income increased to $104.9 million from $72.23 million in the previous year.

Earnings per share climbed to $0.66 from $0.43 in the previous year. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.71, while it totaled $0.47 last year.

On average, 18 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected earnings of $0.56 per share for the quarter. Analysts' estimates typically exclude special items.

Total revenues were $642.64 million, compared to $642.90 million last year. Analysts expected revenues of $625.48 million.

Rick Wallace, President and CEO, said, "KLA-Tencor posted solid results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, with new orders and earnings per share finishing above the range of guidance, and with revenue finishing at the top end of the range of guidance, demonstrating our market leadership, the resilience of our business model, and effective operational execution."

KLA-Tencor also announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Lam Research Corp. (LRCX) to combine with Lam Research.

KLA-Tencor stockholders would be entitled to elect to receive the economic equivalent of $32.00 in cash and 0.5 of a share of Lam Research common stock for each share of KLA-Tencor stock they hold.

The transaction values KLA-Tencor at $67.02 per share, or $10.6 billion in equity value based on the closing stock price of Lam on October 20.

Lam will acquire KLA-Tencor for $5.0 billion in aggregate cash consideration and 80 million shares of Lam common stock, valued at $5.6 billion as of October 20. KLA-Tencor stockholders are expected to own approximately 32 percent of the combined company on a pro forma basis.

According to Lam, this combination will create unmatched capability in process and process control, ultimately helping the semiconductor industry extend Moore's Law and performance scaling generally.
