Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Overview
ATMI was founded in 1986 and has generated revenues from both product sales
and contract research. Product sales have been derived from the sale of
point-of-use environmental equipment and specialty materials and delivery
systems for the semiconductor industry, as well as royalties from the sale of
certain products by third parties. A significant portion of the Company's
revenues has been derived from contracts with United States government agencies.
The programs in which ATMI participates may extend for several years, but are
normally funded on an annual basis. There can be no assurance that the
government will continue its commitment to programs to which ATMI's development
projects are applicable or that the Company can compete successfully to obtain
funding available pursuant to such programs.
During 1995, ATMI acquired the Guardian Systems product line of thermal
destruction units used in the point-of-use treatment of effluent in the
semiconductor industry from Messer Griesheim Industries, Inc. This acquisition
has broadened the product offerings and increased the business of the Company's
EcoSys unit. In addition, the Company made several smaller acquisitions and
investments to further expand its product mix and technology.
ATMI has experienced substantial growth in revenues over the past several
years, particularly in product sales. This was due in part to significant growth
in the semiconductor industry over that period. Recent indicators have served to
create a widely-held opinion that the semiconductor industry and, in particular
the semiconductor equipment industry, will endure a period of slowed growth or
perhaps contraction over the next six to twelve months. This industry condition
could have an adverse impact on ATMI, most notably within its EcoSys subsidiary.
However, continued growth in other ATMI business units could help to offset the
effects of such trends. Commercial backlog at the end of the third quarter of
1996 was approximately $4.8 million, compared with a backlog of $1.5 million at
the end of the third quarter of 1995.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage
relationship to total revenues of certain items in ATMI's Consolidated Statement
of Operations:

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.
Revenues
Total revenues increased 52% to approximately $12,145,000 in the three
months ended September 30, 1996 from approximately $7,996,000 in the same three
month period in 1995. Product revenues increased 62% to approximately $9,361,000
in the three months ended September 30, 1996 from approximately $5,785,000 in
the comparable period in 1995. The increases in product revenues resulted
primarily from continued growth in sales of effluent treatment systems by EcoSys
and sales of specialty semiconductor wafers and materials through the Company's
Epitronics subsidiary, as well as growth in royalty revenues generated from the
increased market acceptance of the Company's SDS(TM) Gas Source product.
Contract revenues increased 26% to approximately $2,784,000 in the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 from approximately $2,211,000 in the same three month period
in 1995.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased 73% to approximately $5,786,000 in the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 from approximately $3,343,000 in the quarter ended September
30, 1995. Gross margin increased to 48% of revenues in the three month period in
1996 compared with 42% for the same period in 1995. Gross profit from product
revenue increased 78% to approximately $5,405,000 in the quarter ended September
30, 1996 from approximately $3,029,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 1995.
As a percentage of product revenues, gross margin increased to 58% in 1996 from
52% in 1995. The increase in 1996 resulted primarily from improved margins
within the EcoSys product lines due to the addition of the Guardian product, and
the increase in royalty revenue to 14% of product revenues in 1996 from 6% in
1995.
Gross profit on contract revenues increased 20% to approximately $381,000
in the quarter ended September 30, 1996 from approximately $314,000 in the same
quarter last year. As a percentage of contract revenues, gross margin remained
at 14% from the 1995 quarter to the 1996 quarter.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased 55% to approximately $1,649,000
in the third quarter of 1996 from approximately $1,067,000 in the third quarter
of 1995. The increase in the 1996 quarter was principally due to new product
development within EcoSys and technology development and intellectual property
protection activity within NovaMOS. As a percentage of revenues, research and
development expenses increased to 14% in the 1996 quarter from 13% in the 1995
quarter.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 53% to
approximately $3,224,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1996 from
approximately $2,106,000 in the same three month period in 1995. The increase in
the 1996 quarter was primarily due to an increase in variable selling expenses,
most notably commissions, which directly relate to increased product revenue. In
addition, administrative expenses continue to increase in line with the
continued overall growth of the Company. As a percentage of revenues, these
expenses remained at 26% from the 1995 quarter to the 1996 quarter.
Other Income, Net
Other income increased 88% to approximately $152,000 in the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 from approximately $81,000 in the quarter ended September 30,
1995. The increase in the 1996 quarter related to interest earned on the
Company's increased cash balances as a result of its October 1995 follow-on
public offering. This was partially offset by an increase in interest expense on
larger debt balances in 1996.
Earnings per Share
Earnings per share improved to $.10 for the third quarter of 1996 compared
with earnings per share of $.03 in the second quarter of 1995. The 1996 earnings
per share reflects the 20% increase in weighted average shares outstanding from
approximately 7,791,000 in the third quarter of 1995 to approximately 9,376,000
in the third quarter of 1996. The share increase is primarily due to the October
1995 public offering of 1,600,000 shares of the Company's stock.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.
Revenues
Total revenues increased 63% to approximately $34,583,000 in the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 from approximately $21,247,000 in the same
period in 1995. Product revenues increased 83% to approximately $27,105,000 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from approximately $14,824,000 in the
comparable period in 1995. This increase resulted from growth in sales of EcoSys
product lines including the recently acquired Guardian products, increased
market acceptance of the NovaMOS delivery systems and materials, increased sales
of semiconductor materials by Epitronics as well as substantial increases in
royalty revenue. Contract revenues increased 16% to approximately $7,479,000 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from approximately $6,422,000 in the
same period in 1995. The growth in 1996 was from a general increase in the
government funding of the Company's contract research activities.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased 86% to approximately $16,688,000 in the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 from approximately $8,965,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. Gross margin increased to 48% of revenues in the first nine
months of 1996 from 42% of revenues in the first nine months of 1995. As a
percentage of product revenues, gross margin increased to 57% in the 1996 period
from 54% in the 1995 period primarily due to product mix and the increase in
royalty revenue to 10% of product revenues in 1996 from 4% in 1995. As a
percentage of contract revenues, gross margin remained at 15% from the first
nine months of 1995 to the first nine months of 1996.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased 102% to approximately
$5,697,000 in the first nine months of 1996 from approximately $2,815,000 in the
first nine months of 1995. The increase in 1996 resulted primarily from the
increase in product development within EcoSys, and added research activities
pertaining to the recently acquired Guardian and Epitronics businesses.
Additionally, ATMI has and will continue to invest in the protection of its
intellectual property. As a percentage of revenues, research and development
expenses increased to 16% in the first nine months of 1996 from 13% in the first
nine months of 1995.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 52% to
approximately $9,144,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from
approximately $6,000,000 in the same period in 1995. The increase in 1996
related primarily to selling costs directly linked to increased product
shipments, increases in marketing and sales staff, and increased administrative
expenses related to the newly acquired businesses. As a percentage of revenues,
these expenses decreased to 26% in the first nine months of 1996 from 28% in the
comparable period in 1995.
Other Income, Net
Other income increased 88% to approximately $439,000 in the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 from approximately $234,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. The increase in the 1996 period is a direct result of
increased cash balances derived from the follow-on public offering in October
1995, partially offset by higher interest expense due to increases in debt
balances.
Earnings per Share
Earnings per share improved to $.22 for the first nine months of 1996
compared with earnings per share of $.03 in the first nine months of 1995. The
1996 earnings per share reflects the 22% increase in weighted average shares
outstanding from approximately 7,694,000 in the first nine months of 1995 to
approximately 9,362,000 in the first nine months of 1996. The share increase is
primarily due to the October 1995 public offering of 1,600,000 shares of the
Company's stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, operations generated cash of
approximately $2,902,000 compared to the generation of approximately $425,000
for the comparable 1995 period. A substantial increase in net income to
approximately $2,085,000 in 1996 compared to $209,000 in 1995 was the principal
cause for the increase in cash generation from operations. Increases in non-cash
expenses, such as depreciation, and fluctuations in working capital further
enhanced the cash provided by operations in the first nine months of 1996.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, investing activities
generated approximately $1,751,000 in cash compared with the use of
approximately $1,543,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Investing
activities in the 1996 period generated cash through the sale of approximately
$4,995,000 in marketable securities, offset by capital expenditures of
approximately $3,243,000. These capital expenditures related primarily to
expansion of manufacturing and laboratory capacity in the Company's Danbury
facility. In the 1995 period, the Company incurred approximately $2,417,000 in
capital expenditures, primarily leasehold improvements, and sold approximately
$2,173,000 of marketable securities. Additionally, in 1995 ATMI made a long term
investment of $1,000,000 in Candescent Technologies Corporation, formerly known
as Silicon Video Corporation.
The Company used approximately $3,814,000 of cash in financing activities
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared with the generation of
approximately $1,836,000 for the same period in 1995. Debt payments of
approximately $4,580,000 during the 1996 period included the payment of a $4
million promissory note related to the acquisition of the Guardian Systems
product line. The Company incurred new debt of approximately $727,000 in the
first nine months of 1996 including $500,000 from an agency of the State of
Connecticut and advances under the Company's equipment line of credit. For the
same period in 1995, the Company received a $1.3 million loan from an agency of
the State of Connecticut and approximately $1,036,000 in advances under the
Company's equipment line of credit, partially offset by approximately $550,000
in payments on all notes payable.
ATMI believes the combination of existing cash balances, marketable
securities, existing sources of liquidity, and anticipated funds from
operations, will satisfy its projected working capital and other cash
requirements through at least the end of 1997. However, ATMI believes the level
of financing resources available to it is an important competitive factor in its
industry and may seek additional capital prior to the end of that period.
Additionally, ATMI considers, on a continuing basis, potential acquisitions of
technologies and businesses complementary to its current business. There are no
present understandings, commitments, or agreements with respect to any such
acquisition. However, any such transaction may affect ATMI's future capital
needs.
