Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:

The non-GAAP and supplemental information provided in this press release is a supplement to, and not a substitute for, KLA-Tencor's financial results presented in accordance with United States GAAP.

To supplement KLA-Tencor's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the company provides certain non-GAAP financial information, which is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain costs and expenses, as well as other supplemental information. The non-GAAP and supplemental information is provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of KLA-Tencor's operating performance and its prospects in the future. Specifically, KLA-Tencor believes that the non-GAAP information provides useful measures to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to KLA-Tencor's financial performance by excluding certain costs and expenses that the company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. The non-GAAP information is among the budgeting and planning tools that management uses for future forecasting. However, because there are no standardized or generally accepted definitions for most non-GAAP financial metrics, definitions of non-GAAP financial metrics (for example, determining which costs and expenses to exclude when calculating such a metric) are inherently subject to significant discretion.  As a result, non-GAAP financial metrics may be defined very differently from company to company, or even from period to period within the same company, which can potentially limit the usefulness of such information to an investor. The presentation of non-GAAP and supplemental information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared and presented in accordance with United States GAAP.

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we provide certain non-GAAP financial information, which is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain costs and expenses, as well as other supplemental information. The non-GAAP and supplemental information is provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our operating performance and our prospects in the future. Specifically, we believe that the non-GAAP information provides useful measures to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial performance by excluding certain costs and expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. The non-GAAP information is among the budgeting and planning tools that management uses for future forecasting. However, because there are no standardized or generally accepted definitions for most non-GAAP financial metrics, definitions of non-GAAP financial metrics (for example, determining which costs and expenses to exclude when calculating such a metric) are inherently subject to significant discretion.  As a result, non-GAAP financial metrics may be defined very differently from company to company, or even from period to period within the same company, which can potentially limit the usefulness of such information to an investor. The presentation of non-GAAP and supplemental information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared and presented in accordance with United States GAAP.


a Acquisition related charges include amortization of intangible assets,
  inventory fair value adjustments, and in-process research and development
  charges associated with acquisitions. Management believes that the expense
  associated with the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets is
  appropriate to be excluded because a significant portion of the purchase
  price for acquisitions may be allocated to intangible assets that have short
  lives, and exclusion of the amortization expense allows comparisons of
  operating results that are consistent over time for both KLA-Tencor's newly
  acquired and long-held businesses. Management believes that it is appropriate
  to exclude acquisition related inventory fair value adjustments and
  in-process research and development charges as they are not indicative of
  ongoing operating results and therefore limit comparability. Management
  believes excluding these items helps investors compare our operating
  performance with our results in prior periods as well as with the performance
  of other companies.



b Restructuring, severance and other related charges include gains and costs
  associated with the company's facilities divestment and consolidation
  program, reductions in force, and gains and losses from sales of facilities.
  Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude those items as they are
  not indicative of ongoing operating results and therefore limit
  comparability. Management believes excluding these items helps investors
  compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods as well
  as with the performance of other companies.



c Restatement related charges include legal and other expenses related to the
  investigation regarding the company's historical stock option granting
  process and related shareholder litigation and other matters. KLA-Tencor paid
  or reimbursed legal expenses incurred in connection with the investigation of
  its historical stock option practices and the related litigation and
  government inquiries by a number of its current and former directors,
  officers and employees. KLA-Tencor is currently paying defense costs for a
  former officer and employee facing SEC civil actions to which the company is
  not a party, and the company is also obligated to pay the attorneys' fees and
  expenses incurred by former employees in connection with discovery undertaken
  in that case. The company is further incurring costs associated with
  retaining counsel to respond to discovery requests and otherwise representing
  the company in that litigation. Management believes that it is appropriate to
  exclude those items as they are not indicative of ongoing operating results
  and therefore limit comparability. Management believes excluding these items
  helps investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior
  periods as well as with the performance of other companies.



d Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments includes the income tax effects of
  the excluded items noted above. Management believes that it is appropriate to
  exclude the tax effects of the items noted above in order to present a more
  meaningful measure of non-GAAP net income.



e Discrete tax items include the tax impact of shortfalls in excess of
  cumulative windfall tax benefits recorded as provision for income taxes
  during the period. Windfall tax benefits arise when a company's tax deduction
  for employee stock activity exceeds book compensation for the same activity
  and are generally recorded as increases to capital in excess of par value.
  Shortfalls arises when the tax deduction is less than book compensation and
  are recorded as decreases to capital in excess of par value to the extent
  that cumulative windfalls exceed cumulative shortfalls. Shortfalls in excess
  of cumulative windfalls are recorded as provision for income taxes. When
  there are shortfalls recorded as provision for income taxes during an earlier
  quarter, windfalls arising in subsequent quarters within the same fiscal year
  are recorded as a reduction to income taxes to the extent of the shortfalls
  recorded. Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude these items
  as they are not indicative of ongoing operating results and therefore limit
  comparability. Management believes excluding these items helps investors
  compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods as well
  as with the performance of other companies.
