A reconciliation between GAAP operating results and non-GAAP operating results is provided following the financial statements that are part of this release. Non-GAAP results include the impact of stock-based compensation, but exclude the impact of acquisitions, restructuring, severance and other related charges, merger-related charges, and debt extinguishment loss and recapitalization charges.

In light of the pending merger transaction with Lam Research Corporation, KLA-Tencor has discontinued conducting quarterly earnings conference calls to discuss financial results, but instead publish a quarterly stockholder letter and other supplemental data on the Investor Relations section of the KLA-Tencor website.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:

The non-GAAP and supplemental information provided in this press release is a supplement to, and not a substitute for, KLA-Tencor's financial results presented in accordance with United States GAAP.

To supplement KLA-Tencor's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the company provides certain non-GAAP financial information, which is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain costs and expenses, as well as other supplemental information. The non-GAAP and supplemental information is provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of KLA-Tencor's operating performance and its prospects in the future. Specifically, KLA-Tencor believes that the non-GAAP information provides useful measures to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to KLA-Tencor's financial performance by excluding certain costs and expenses that the company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. The non-GAAP information is among the budgeting and planning tools that management uses for future forecasting. However, because there are no standardized or generally accepted definitions for most non-GAAP financial metrics, definitions of non-GAAP financial metrics (for example, determining which costs and expenses to exclude when calculating such a metric) are inherently subject to significant discretion. As a result, non-GAAP financial metrics may be defined very differently from company to company, or even from period to period within the same company, which can potentially limit the usefulness of such information to an investor. The presentation of non-GAAP and supplemental information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared and presented in accordance with United States GAAP.

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we provide certain non-GAAP financial information, which is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain costs and expenses, as well as other supplemental information. The non-GAAP and supplemental information is provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our operating performance and our prospects in the future. Specifically, we believe that the non-GAAP information provides useful measures to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial performance by excluding certain costs and expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. The non-GAAP information is among the budgeting and planning tools that management uses for future forecasting. However, because there are no standardized or generally accepted definitions for most non-GAAP financial metrics, definitions of non-GAAP financial metrics (for example, determining which costs and expenses to exclude when calculating such a metric) are inherently subject to significant discretion. As a result, non-GAAP financial metrics may be defined very differently from company to company, or even from period to period within the same company, which can potentially limit the usefulness of such information to an investor. The presentation of non-GAAP and supplemental information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared and presented in accordance with United States GAAP.



    a.                  Acquisition-related charges includes
                        amortization of intangible assets
                        associated with acquisitions.
                        Management believes that the expense
                        associated with the amortization of
                        acquisition related intangible assets
                        is appropriate to be excluded because
                        a significant portion of the purchase
                        price for acquisitions may be
                        allocated to intangible assets that
                        have short lives, and exclusion of
                        these expenses allows comparisons of
                        operating results that are consistent
                        over time for both KLA-Tencor's
                        newly acquired and long-held
                        businesses. Management believes
                        excluding these items helps investors
                        compare our operating performance
                        with our results in prior periods as
                        well as with the performance of other
                        companies.


    b.                  Restructuring, severance and other
                        related charges include costs
                        associated with employee severance
                        and other exit costs, impairment of
                        certain long-lived assets.
                        Management believes excluding these
                        items helps investors compare our
                        operating performance with our
                        results in prior periods as well as
                        with the performance of other
                        companies.


    c.                  Merger-related charges that are
                        directly related to the pending
                        merger between KLA-Tencor and Lam as
                        announced on October 21, 2015.
                        Charges primarily includes costs for
                        advisory services, appraisals, legal
                        services, employee-related expense
                        and auditing services. Management
                        believes that it is appropriate to
                        exclude these items as they are not
                        indicative of ongoing operating
                        results and therefore limit
                        comparability and excluding these
                        items helps investors compare our
                        operating performance with our
                        results in prior periods as well as
                        with the performance of other
                        companies.


    d.                  Debt extinguishment loss and
                        recapitalization charges include a
                        pre-tax loss on early extinguishment
                        of debt related to the 6.900% Senior
                        Notes due in 2018, net and certain
                        other expenses incurred in connection
                        with the leveraged recapitalization
                        plan which was completed in the
                        second quarter of fiscal year ended
                        June 30, 2015. Management believes
                        that it is appropriate to exclude
                        these items as they are not
                        indicative of ongoing operating
                        results and therefore limit
                        comparability and excluding these
                        items helps investors compare our
                        operating performance with our
                        results in prior periods as well as
                        with the performance of other
                        companies.


    e.                  Income tax effect of non-GAAP
                        adjustments includes the income tax
                        effects of the excluded items noted
                        above. Management believes that it is
                        appropriate to exclude the tax
                        effects of the items noted above in
                        order to present a more meaningful
                        measure of non-GAAP net income.
