ATMI Reports First Quarter 2011 Financial Results

1Q Revenues of $100.7 Million; Earnings Per Diluted Share of $0.25


DANBURY, Conn., April 20, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ATMI, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATMI) today reported record revenues of $100.7 million, for the first quarter of 2011 compared with $85.3 million in the first quarter of 2010. Net income was $8.0 million, compared with $8.7 million for the first quarter last year. Earnings per diluted share were $0.25, compared with $0.27 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2010.

"The wafer start environment in the first quarter was slightly stronger than we expected it to be, and our base business reflected that strength across the product spectrum. We anticipate this trend to continue into the second quarter," said Doug Neugold, ATMI Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President. "Our new product expectations for 2011 are intact for both our semiconductor and life sciences product lines, and we are working aggressively to accelerate revenue growth from our Artelis acquisition."

Neugold continued, "The investments we have made in High Productivity Development capabilities over the last few years are starting to show tangible returns as leading foundry, memory, and integrated device manufacturers begin to ramp technology nodes where our products are process of record."

"We generated better-than-market revenue growth during the quarter and kept operating expenses flat compared to last quarter," said Tim Carlson, Chief Financial Officer. "Operating expenses increased from the prior year quarter, to $36.4 million. This increase is principally due to our investments in our High Productivity Development platform and operating activities associated with our Artelis acquisition, which closed in the fourth quarter of 2010."
