BEVERLY, Mass., Jul 28, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) --
Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:ACLS) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
The Company reported second quarter revenue of $58.2 million, compared to $48.5 million for the first quarter of 2010, a 20% increase. Net loss for the second quarter was $4.5 million, or $0.04 per share. This compares to a net loss for the first quarter of 2010 of $11.1 million, or $0.11 per share.

The Company generated positive cash flow from operations of $12.1 million for the quarter and ended the quarter with working capital of $153.8 million.
"We had a much improved second quarter, posting better than expected results," said Mary Puma, chairman and CEO. "We saw substantial increases in revenues, cash flow and orders for both capacity expansions and leading-edge process design wins from all regions of the world. This has had a very positive effect on our financial performance; we generated positive cash flow from operations for the first half of the year and remain well on track to return to profitability." She continued, "We are seeing growing demand from both new and existing customers for our high current product line due to significant productivity and device performance advantages the Optima HDx system provides. We expect this to translate into market share gains in 2010 and beyond."
