Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 29, 2008, Newport Corporation (the Registrant) announced its financial results for the
third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2008 and its outlook for the fourth quarter of
2008. The press release issued by the Registrant in connection with the announcement is attached
to this report as Exhibit 99.1.
This information shall not be deemed filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor
shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing by the Registrant under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as may be set
forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In the press release attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1, the Registrant has supplemented
certain of its financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP
financial measures and the reasons for their inclusion are described below. The presentation of
this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the
Registrants financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The Registrant has provided non-GAAP measures of net income and net income per diluted share for
the three and nine months ended September 27, 2008 that have been adjusted to exclude (1) $2.2
million in costs associated with profit improvement actions being taken by the Registrant including
severance costs, transition costs related to the transfer of manufacturing operations and other
costs; (2) a non-cash charge of $7.1 million recognized by the Registrant in the second quarter of 2008 to
reflect a write-off of a note receivable and other amounts relating to a previously divested
business; (3) $0.7 million recovered by the Registrant in the third quarter of 2008 on the assets
previously written off; (4) $0.3 million in other costs consisting primarily of legal fees to
recover such amounts; and (5) the income tax impact related to the foregoing excluded amounts.
Management considers these amounts to be outside of the Registrants core operating results.
Therefore, these amounts have been excluded with the intent of providing both management and
investors with a more complete understanding of the Registrants underlying operational results and
performance trends and a more meaningful basis for comparison of such results with the Registrants
historical and expected financial results. In addition, these adjusted non-GAAP measures are among
the primary indicators that management uses as a basis for its planning and forecasting of future
periods and may also be used by management for other purposes including its evaluation of
performance to determine the achievement of goals under the Registrants incentive plans.
