FLANDERS, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rudolph
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: RTEC), a leading provider of process
characterization equipment, lithography equipment and software for wafer
fabs and advanced packaging facilities, today announced that it
currently expects revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015,
ended June 30, 2015, will be approximately $59 million, or an increase
of approximately 12 percent from the first quarter of fiscal year 2015
and above the Company’s previous guidance.
The preliminary second quarter revenue results also represent an
increase of approximately 37 percent above the revenue of $43.0 million
reported in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014.
Continued robust demand for the Company’s back-end advanced packaging
solutions resulted in the higher than initially forecasted revenue for
this quarter.
Rudolph cautions that the anticipated second quarter fiscal 2015 revenue
is preliminary and based on the best information currently available,
and is subject to completion of the financial statements for the second
quarter of fiscal 2015.
