Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
As previously announced, KLA-Tencor Corporation (the “Company”) presented its annual SEMICON West analyst briefing on July 9, 2013 at the W San Francisco Hotel. The presentation was accessible via live webcast through (and a replay of the presentation is currently available on) the Investor Relations page of the Company's web site at http://ir.kla-tencor.com/, and the presentation otherwise complied with the notification, public accessibility and other requirements of Regulation FD.
On April 25, 2013, in the Company's quarterly earnings conference call, the Company had previously provided preliminary guidance for certain of the Company's anticipated financial metrics for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013: bookings (a range of $625-775 million), revenues (a range of $670-730 million) and non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”) (a range of $0.66-0.86 per share).
During the July 9, 2013 SEMICON West analyst briefing, Richard P. Wallace, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, provided updated guidance regarding the Company's expected bookings, revenues and EPS for its recently completed fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, which ended on June 30, 2013. During the presentation, Mr. Wallace stated that bookings for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 “were above the mid-point of the guidance” and “did end up over 700 [million dollars].” Mr. Wallace then added that the Company's revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 ended up “in the top half of the range, as well as did EPS at a normalized 24% tax rate.”
Mr. Wallace also provided information during the presentation regarding the Company's outlook for selected operating results in future periods. That information is available through the Regulation FD-compliant webcast that is accessible on the Company's website.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section. The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
