We achieved our initial cost synergies ahead of plan, while also substantially improving the revenue growth profile and profitability of the Light and Motion Division.”

“We also continue to execute on our strategy to delever our balance sheet and significantly reduce our interest cost. I am pleased to report that as of June 30, the Company was in a net cash position. In addition, in early July, we completed our third successful re-pricing of our Term Loan and completed another $50 million voluntary pre-payment on our Term Loan facility, which brought our cumulative pre-payments to date to $250 million. Since origination on April 29, 2016, we have reduced our non-GAAP interest expense by $20 million or approximately 50% on an annualized basis,” said Seth Bagshaw, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results
Non-GAAP amounts exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, an asset impairment, costs associated with completed and announced acquisitions, acquisition integration costs, restructuring charges, certain excess and obsolete inventory charges, fees and expenses related to re-pricing of our Term Loan, amortization of debt issuance costs, net proceeds from an insurance policy, costs associated with the sale of a business, the tax effect of a legal entity restructuring, other discrete tax benefits and charges, and the related tax effect of these adjustments. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). MKS' management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors for comparing prior periods and analyzing ongoing business trends and operating results.

Annualized GAAP interest expense based upon $523 million in principal currently outstanding and LIBOR plus 225 basis points would be $24.1 million. Pro-forma revenue amounts assume the acquisition of Newport Corporation had occurred as of the beginning of 2016.
