These forward-looking statements are based on current information and expectations, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in such statements due to various factors, including but not limited to: the demand for semiconductors; the financial condition of the global capital markets and the general macroeconomic environment; new and enhanced product and technology offerings by competitors; cancellation of orders by customers; the ability of KLA-Tencor's research and development teams to successfully innovate and develop technologies and products that are responsive to customer demands; KLA-Tencor's ability to successfully manage its costs; market acceptance of the company's existing and newly issued products; and changing customer demands. For other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected and anticipated in forward-looking statements in this release, please refer to KLA-Tencor's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012, subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including, but not limited to, the risk factors described therein).

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
                 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 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 costs
                 associated with the company's
                 decision in the first quarter of
                 fiscal year 2013 to exit from the
                 solar inspection business, as well
                 as those associated with
                 reductions in force.  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.

    c.           Restatement related charges include
                 legal and other expenses related
                 to the investigation regarding the
                 company's historical stock option
                 granting process and related
                 stockholder litigation and other
                 matters.  KLA-Tencor has paid or
                 reimbursed legal expenses incurred
                 by a number of its current and
                 former directors, officers and
                 employees in connection with the
                 investigation of the company's
                 historical stock option practices
                 and the related litigation and
                 government inquiries.  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.

    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 arise 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 or
                 other adjustments to the
                 cumulative windfall tax benefit
                 that are not indicative of ongoing
                 operating results and 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.
