SAN JOSE, Calif., April 26, 2007—KLA-Tencor Corporation (NASDAQ: KLAC) today announced operating results for its third quarter of fiscal 2007, which ended on March 31, 2007. The Company reported GAAP net income of $155 million, which included share-based compensation and other charges discussed below, and GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.76 on revenue of $716 million in the third quarter, compared to GAAP net income of $90 million or $0.44 per diluted share on revenue of $649 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, and GAAP net income of $97 million or $0.47 per diluted share on revenue of $520 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

Stock-based compensation charges of $29 million, compared to $16 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and $48 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

 

   

Restatement-related charges of $15 million, including compensation expense for non-executive related to reimbursements for penalty taxes under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and legal and other expenses related to the stock options investigation, shareholder litigation and related matters. Restatement-related charges for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $15 million.
