Net sales were $2.02 billion, up 30 percent from $1.56 billion for the first fiscal quarter of 2004, and up 82 percent from $1.11 billion for the second fiscal quarter of 2003. Gross margin for the second fiscal quarter of 2004 was 46.5 percent, up from 43.5 percent for the first fiscal quarter of 2004 and up from 33.7 percent for the second fiscal quarter of 2003. Net income for the second fiscal quarter of 2004 was $373 million, or $0.22 per share, up from net income of $82 million, or $0.05 per share, for the first fiscal quarter of 2004, and up from a net loss of $62 million, or $0.04 per share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2003.
The company's ongoing net income was $373 million, or $0.22 per share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2004, up from $200 million, or $0.12 per share, for the first fiscal quarter of 2004, and up from $45 million, or $0.03 per share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2003.

"Investment in 300mm semiconductor equipment for leading-edge technology, combined with capacity purchases of our 200mm systems, drove Applied Materials' strong revenue and order growth this quarter. As semiconductor demand rose and our customers' confidence grew, orders for 300mm equipment, copper interconnect and sub-100 nanometer geometries increased," said Mike Splinter, president and chief executive officer. "Applied Materials continues to experience strong market acceptance across its broad array of products and is converting its leadership into outstanding operating performance.
"Through close collaboration with customers, Applied Materials continues to develop highly differentiated and integrated products that address advanced design requirements. New products, such as the Applied Endura2 system, the Applied VeritySEM metrology tool, the AKT-40K PECVD system, and the recently announced strategic service agreement with Brooks Automation, Inc., exemplify the company's dedication to delivering innovative solutions. Our focus is to achieve world class performance in everything we do, from product design through manufacturing to customer support," concluded Splinter.
Reconciliations of reported results of operations under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to ongoing results have been included as a supplement to this press release. Due to the amount of charges incurred in prior periods as a result of realignment activities, Applied Materials believes that ongoing results are useful to investors because they reflect baseline performance exclusive of charges associated with realignment activities. Ongoing results are the primary indicator used by Applied Materials' management to plan and forecast future periods. These non-GAAP measures are neither in accordance with, nor an alternative for, GAAP, and may be materially different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with GAAP.
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, those relating to the semiconductor and semiconductor equipment industries' growth and positive trends, and the company's industry position and business outlook. Forward-looking statements may contain words such as "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "may," "should," "will," "estimate," "forecast," "see," or similar expressions, and include the assumptions that underlie such statements. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the sustainability of increased demand in the semiconductor and semiconductor equipment industries, which is subject to many factors, including global economic conditions, business spending, consumer confidence, demand for electronic products and semiconductors, and geopolitical uncertainties; customers' capacity requirements, including capacity utilizing the latest technology; the timing, rate, amount and sustainability of increases in capital spending for new technology, such as 300mm and nanometer applications; the company's ability to develop, deliver and support a broad range of products and services on a timely basis; the company's successful and timely development of new markets, products, processes and services; the company's ability to timely satisfy manufacturing requirements; the company's ability to maintain effective cost controls and to timely align its cost structure with business conditions; changes in management; and other risks described in Applied Materials' Securities and Exchange Commission filings. All forward-looking statements are based on management's estimates, projections and assumptions as of the date hereof. The company assumes no obligation to update the information in this press release.
Applied Materials will be discussing its second fiscal quarter results, along with its outlook for the third fiscal quarter of 2004, on a conference call today beginning at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time.
