These forward-looking statements are based on current information and expectations, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in such statements due to various factors, including but not limited to: the demand for semiconductors; the financial condition of the global capital markets and the general macroeconomic environment; new and enhanced product and technology offerings by competitors; cancellation of orders by customers; the ability of KLA-Tencor's research and development teams to successfully innovate and develop technologies and products that are responsive to customer demands; KLA-Tencor's ability to successfully manage its costs; market acceptance of the company's existing and newly issued products; and changing customer demands. For other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected and anticipated in forward-looking statements in this release, please refer to KLA-Tencor's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013, subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including, but not limited to, the risk factors described therein).

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 include
                     amortization of intangible assets
                     and transaction costs associated
                     with acquisitions. Management
                     believes that the expense
                     associated with the amortization
                     of acquisition related intangible
                     assets and acquisition related
                     costs are 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 our decision in
                     the first quarter of fiscal year
                     2013 to exit from the solar
                     inspection business, as well as
                     those associated with reductions
                     in force.  Management believes
                     that it is appropriate to exclude
                     these items as they are not
                     indicative of ongoing operating
                     results and therefore limit
                     comparability.  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.               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.

    d.               Discrete tax items include the tax
                     impact of shortfalls in excess of
                     cumulative windfall tax benefits
                     recorded as provision for income
                     taxes during the period. Windfall
                     tax benefits arise when a
                     company's tax deduction for
                     employee stock activity exceeds
                     book compensation for the same
                     activity and are generally
                     recorded as increases to capital
                     in excess of par value.
                     Shortfalls arise when the tax
                     deduction is less than book
                     compensation and are recorded as
                     decreases to capital in excess of
                     par value to the extent that
                     cumulative windfalls exceed
                     cumulative shortfalls.  Shortfalls
                     in excess of cumulative windfalls
                     are recorded as provision for
                     income taxes.  When there are
                     shortfalls recorded as provision
                     for income taxes during an earlier
                     quarter, windfalls arising in
                     subsequent quarters within the
                     same fiscal year are recorded as a
                     reduction to income taxes to the
                     extent of the shortfalls recorded.
                      Management believes that it is
                      appropriate to exclude these or
                     other adjustments to the
                     cumulative windfall tax benefit
                     that are not indicative of ongoing
                     operating results and limit
                     comparability.  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.
