Highlights of the Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

Net revenue for the second quarter 2011 was $455.0 million, an increase of $63.2 million, or 16.1%, from the net revenue for the second quarter of 2010 of $391.8 million. The second quarter 2011 net revenue reflects the effect of the events that occurred in Japan, which is estimated at $25 million. Net (loss) for the second quarter 2011 was $(34.6) million, or $(0.20) per diluted share. This compares to net income for the second quarter 2010 of $82.5 million, or $0.46 per diluted share. Adjusted net income(1) for the second quarter 2011 was $92.2 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, which was 20.3% of net revenue. This compares to Adjusted net income(1) for the second quarter of 2010 of $77.5 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, which was 19.8% of net revenue.

Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $899.3 million, an increase of $130.3 million, or 16.9%, from $768.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Net (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $(44.2) million, or $(0.25) per diluted share. This compares to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $109.8 million, or $0.66 per diluted share. Adjusted net income(1) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $183.3 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, which was 20.4% of net revenue. This compares to Adjusted net income(1) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $146.6 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, which was 19.1% of net revenue.

Tom Wroe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased with our results and continue to deliver on our objectives. Our core revenue growth rate, amplified by our recently acquired Magnetic Speed and Position business, resulted in 16.1% growth compared to the second quarter of the prior year."

The Company spent $28.3 million, or 6.2% of net revenue, on research, development and engineering related costs in the second quarter of 2011. These costs reside in both the Cost of revenue and the Research and development lines of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company's ending cash balance at June 30, 2011 was $287.1 million. During the second quarter, the Company generated cash of $39.3 million from operations, used cash of $18.8 million in investing activities and used cash of $152.7 million in financing activities. During the quarter, the Company refinanced substantially all of its existing indebtedness. As part of refinancing, the Company issued a new $1.1 billion term loan facility and $700 million of senior unsecured notes, each denominated in U.S. dollars.

The Company's cash conversion cycle, which is defined as days sales outstanding (DSO) plus days on hand inventory (DOH) less days payable outstanding (DPO), was 56.3 days at the end of the second quarter compared to 50.7 days at June 30, 2010.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $12.5 million for the second quarter 2011. Approximately $4.5 million of the provision, or 3.7% of Adjusted EBIT, related to taxes that are payable in cash and approximately $8.1 million related to deferred income tax expense and other income tax expense.

The Company's indebtedness at June 30, 2011 was $1.84 billion. The Company's Net debt(2) was $1.55 billion resulting in a Net leverage ratio(2) of 3.1.

Robert Hureau, Chief Financial Officer, said, "We are pleased to have completed the debt refinancing this quarter at such attractive interest rates. In addition, our cash generation continues to be in line with our expectations."

Guidance

Including the announced, but not yet closed, acquisition of Sensor-NITE, the Company anticipates net revenue of $470 million to $490 million for the third quarter 2011, which represents growth of 23% to 28% over the third quarter 2010 net revenue of $383.3 million. The Company also expects to achieve earnings per diluted share calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") of $0.17 - $0.21 in the third quarter of 2011. In addition, the Company expects Adjusted net income(1) of $90 million to $96 million, or $0.49 - $0.53 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2011. This guidance assumes a diluted share count of 181.8 million for the third quarter of 2011.

For the full year 2011, the Company expects net revenue of $1.87 billion to $1.93 billion which represents 26% to 29% growth over the full year 2010 net revenue of $1.54 billion, after adjusting for approximately $50 million of inventory replenishment that occurred during the first half of 2010. The Company also expects to achieve earnings per diluted share calculated in accordance with GAAP of $0.11 to $0.21 for the full year 2011. In addition, the Company expects Adjusted net income(1) of $365 million to $383 million, or $2.01 to $2.11 per diluted share for the full year 2011. This guidance assumes a diluted share count of 181.4 million for the full year of 2011.

(1) See Non-GAAP Measures for discussion of Adjusted net income which includes a reconciliation of this measure to Net (loss) / income.

(2) Net debt represents total indebtedness including capital lease and other financing obligations, less cash and cash equivalents. The Net leverage ratio represents net debt divided by Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA assumes the acquired Magnetic Speed and Position business had been in the results for the last twelve months.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted net income as follows: net (loss) / income before costs related to our initial public offering and debt refinancing, currency translation loss / (gain) on debt and unrealized (gain)/loss on other hedges, amortization and depreciation expense related to the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets, deferred income tax and other tax expense, amortization of deferred financing costs, interest expense associated with uncertain tax positions, and other costs. The Company believes Adjusted net income provides investors with helpful information with respect to the performance of the Company's operations and management uses Adjusted net income to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted net income is not a measure of liquidity. See the tables below which reconciles Net (loss) / income to Adjusted net income and Projected GAAP earnings per share to Projected Adjusted net income per share.

The following unaudited table(1) reconciles the Company's Net (loss) / income to Adjusted net income for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

(1) The Company's definition of Adjusted net income includes the current tax expense (benefit) that will be payable (realized) on the Company's income tax return and excludes deferred income tax and other tax expense. As the Company treats deferred income tax and other tax expense as an adjustment to compute Adjusted net income, the deferred income tax effect associated with the reconciling items would not change Adjusted net income for each period presented. The theoretical current income tax associated with the reconciling items above would be as follows: Amortization and depreciation expense related to the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets: $163 and $272 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.


(2) The following table reconciles diluted shares in accordance with GAAP to diluted outstanding shares used in the calculation of Adjusted net income per share. The GAAP diluted outstanding shares number excludes certain shares due to their anti-dilutive nature given the net loss. The Company believes that including these shares in the diluted number for purposes of calculating Adjusted net income per share is more meaningful to investors.
