KLA EXPECTS TO POST Q2 EARNINGS OF $0.30 PER SHARE
SAN JOSE, California, January 12, 1994 -- KLA Instruments said that it
expects to report earnings per share for its second quarter ended December 31,
1993 of $0.30 on sales of about $57 million.
New orders increased approximately 40% over the prior quarter largely as a
result of the strong demand for the Company's 2100 series in-line monitors. As a
result the Company's book-to-bill ratio was over 1.3 for the quarter. The
Company includes both systems and service in its book-to-bill calculation.
The Company expects to report complete results for the second quarter on
January 19, 1994.
KLA Instruments Corporation is the world's leading manufacturer of yield
monitoring and process control systems for the semiconductor manufacturing
industry. KLA is a publicly held corporation traded on The Nasdaq National
Market under the symbol "KLAC."
