"Fiscal 2008 was a pivotal year for Applied as we made significant progress in advancing our Silicon and Display businesses and expanding in the solar market. Our fourth quarter results demonstrate effective performance in a very challenging environment," said Mike Splinter, president and CEO. "We passed a major milestone as the first SunFab(TM) Thin Film Solar Line began volume production demonstrating Applied's commitment to deliver exciting new technology to the solar industry.
"As Applied moves into fiscal 2009, we will implement further cost-reduction actions due to declining market conditions, and we will invest in strategic priorities," concluded Splinter.
Applied will implement a restructuring program beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, designed to streamline the organization and reduce operating costs. When completed the program is expected to drive annualized cost savings of approximately $400 million. As part of this program, the company plans to reduce its global workforce by approximately 12% or 1,800 positions by the end of fiscal 2009 through a combination of attrition, voluntary separation and other workforce reduction programs consistent with local legal requirements and in consultation with employee representatives, where applicable.
Non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2008 was $1.20 billion, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.90 billion, or $1.33 per diluted share, for fiscal 2007. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was $264 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $472 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, and $228 million or $0.17 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Non-GAAP adjustments are explained below and detailed in the accompanying Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results.
Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, Applied changed its management reporting system for services, with all service results reported in the Applied Global Services segment. Fiscal 2007 segment information has been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2008 presentation. Results by reportable segment for fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 were:

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS, detailed in the accompanying Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results, exclude charges related to (i) equity-based compensation, (ii) certain items associated with acquisitions, including inventory fair value adjustments on products sold and amortization of purchased intangible assets, (iii) restructuring and asset impairments, (iv) certain costs associated with ceasing development of beamline implant products, and/or (v) the resolution of income tax audits and changes in tax credits. Management uses non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS to evaluate the company's operating and financial performance in light of business objectives and for planning purposes. These measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies.

The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for net income or EPS prepared in accordance with GAAP.
