Second Quarter Reportable Segment Results and Comparisons to the Prior Quarter Silicon Systems Group orders were $1.97 billion, up 39 percent led by increased demand from foundry customers. Net sales were $1.78 billion, up 32 percent. Non- GAAP operating income increased to $574 million or 32 percent of net sales. GAAP operating income increased to $504 million or 28 percent of net sales. New order composition was: foundry 72 percent, logic and other 12 percent, flash 12 percent, and DRAM 4 percent.
Applied Global Services orders were $650 million, up 26 percent, reflecting a thin film solar equipment order along with higher demand for semiconductor spares and services. Net sales increased slightly to $551 million. Non-GAAP
operating income was essentially flat at $111 million or 20 percent of net
sales. GAAP operating income was $109 million or 20 percent of net sales. Display orders were $84 million, up $44 million from low levels. Net sales

The segment had a non-GAAP operating loss of $57 million and a GAAP operating loss of $63 million.

For the full year, Applied is updating its previous outlook for net sales and non-GAAP EPS, provided on March 28, 2012. The company now expects net sales to
be at the high end of the range of $9.1 billion to $9.5 billion, and non-GAAP
EPS to be at the high end of the range of $0.85 to $0.95. The non-GAAP EPS
outlook excludes known charges related to completed acquisitions of approximately $0.23 per share but does not exclude other non-GAAP adjustments
that may arise subsequent to this release. The non-GAAP EPS outlook includes
charges related to the EES restructuring equivalent to approximately $0.01 per

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses non-GAAP results to evaluate the company's operating and financial performance in light of business objectives and for planning
purposes. These measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Applied believes these measures enhance investors' ability to review the company's business from the same perspective as the company's management and facilitate comparisons of this period's results with prior periods. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Applied Materials will discuss these results during an earnings call that begins at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time today. A live webcast will be available at www.appliedmaterials.com.
