Safe Harbor Statement
This presentation contains statements about management's future expectations, plans and prospects of our business that
constitute forward-looking statements, which are found in various places throughout the press release, including , but not
limited to, statements relating to expectations of orders, net sales, product shipments, backlog, expenses, timing of
purchases of assembly equipment by customers, gross margins, operating results and capital expenditures. The use of
words such as “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “can”, “intend”, “believes”, “may”, “plan”, “predict”, “project”, “forecast”,
“will”, “would”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements, although not all forward looking
statements contain these identifying words. The financial guidance set forth under the heading “Outlook” constitutes forward
looking statements. While these forward looking statements represent our judgments and expectations concerning the
development of our business, a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors could cause actual developments
and results to differ materially from those contained in forward looking statements, including the discovery of weaknesses in
our internal controls and procedures; our inability to maintain continued demand for our products; the impact on our
business of potential disruptions to European economies from euro zone sovereign credit issues; failure of anticipated
orders to materialize or postponement or cancellation of orders, generally without charges; the volatility in the demand for
semiconductors and our products and services; failure to adequately decrease costs and expenses as revenues decline,
loss of significant customers, lengthening of the sales cycle, incurring additional restructuring charges in the future, acts of
terrorism and violence; inability to forecast demand and inventory levels for our products, the integrity of product pricing and
protection of our intellectual property in foreign jurisdictions; risks, such as changes in trade regulations, currency
fluctuations, political instability and war, associated with substantial foreign customers, suppliers and foreign manufacturing
operations; potential instability in foreign capital markets; the risk of failure to successfully manage our diverse operations;
those additional risk factors set forth in Besi's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2014 and other key factors
that could adversely affect our businesses and financial performance contained in our filings and reports, including our
statutory consolidated statements. We are under no obligation to (and expressly disclaim any such obligation to) update or
alter our forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
